Solstic Ingredients

 

The naturally power-packed ingredients of Solstic Energy help boost vitality and increase the body’s energy:

 

• Korean Ginseng Extract: Korean Ginseng has been used traditionally to fight fatigue and as a tonic for invigorating various systems of the body. The active constituents in the plant are called gensenosides. These steroid-like phytochemicals have adaptogenic properties and act on the adrenal glands to help the body adapt to stress.

 

• Green Tea Extract: Archaeological evidence suggests that tea has been consumed for almost 5,000 years. Traditionally, it has been used as a stimulant and to prevent fatigue. Green tea extracts are rich in catchin polyphenols, particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). EGCG helps increase calorie and fat metabolism, which creates energy.

 

• B Vitamins: B vitamins are the most important vitamins for giving you the energy you need to work all day. The B-Complex in Solstic Energy helps metabolize carbohydrates, the body and brain’s main source of fuel. A lack of B-vitamins can cause body fatigue, dizziness, memory problems, depression and can lead to other illnesses.

 

• Guarana Seed: Guarana is a climbing plant native to the Amazon basin best known for its fruit. About the size of a coffee berry, each fruit holds a seed containing naturally occurring caffeine that is absorbed more slowly than other forms of caffeine. The slower absorption rate causes a more gradual and sustained increase in energy levels and avoids the typical crash that follows consumption of most caffeinated beverages.

 

Solstic Energy Benefits

Achieve New Health Through Colon Rejuvenation - The Robert Gray Method

 

Robert Gray was a nationally-known nutrition counsellor, director of the Food for Health Institute in the U.S., and a professional member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants and the American Herb Association. His work as director of the Food For Health Institute has been highlighted by the development of exceptional innovative approaches to natural health care. True to Robert Gray’s reputation, he developed a wonderful program to renew one’s health through colon rejuvenation. This very thorough, self-administered herbal technique takes only a few minutes a day, requires no difficult procedures such as fasting, enemas, or special diet, but is deep-acting, comprehensive and gentle.

 

There are three simple parts to the Robert Gray Intestinal Cleansing Program:

 

1) An Intestinal Cleansing Formula in tablet form that softens and loosens the hardened mucoid plaque lining the intestines.

 

2) A Bulking Agent in powder form that absorbs and lubricates the loosened mucoid material and sweeps it from the intestinal tract, while promoting growth of implanted lactobacteria.

 

3) About four to five minutes of full body skin brushing a day to purge the lymph system.

 

A distinct advantage of this program is that everything is taken by mouth, so not only is the lower bowel cleansed, but also the stomach and the entire intestinal tract, as well. Most intestinal cleansing programs do not address the important problem of lactobacteria depletion. The Robert Gray method however, encourages health-enhancing beneficial bacteria to multiply faster than the intestinal cleansing process removes them. Now the intestines can be cleansed while promoting a healthy population of beneficial bacteria at the same time.

 

·      But why the need for colon hygiene?

 

During the digestive process, most of the food we eat forms mucoid substances in the intestinal tract. Although most of this mucoid material passes from the body in the normal elimination process, some of it remains behind, clinging to the intestinal walls and over time builds up to become impacted on the colon walls as plaque. This mucoid plaque not only blocks proper elimination and prevents proper assimilation of nutrients, but also serves as a breeding ground for parasites and pathogens that pollute the blood and lymph, and thereby poisons the entire system – a condition known as toxic colon.

 

Naturopathic healthcare professionals almost universally agree that a toxic intestinal tract causes a chronic drain on health and vitality, contributing to conditions that make poor health and disease more likely. Good health and well-being begins with having a clean, well-functioning intestinal tract. Colon cleansing and proper colon hygiene are not only good ideas, but are essential to prolonged good health and well-being.

 

The Holistic Horizons brand Intestinal Cleansing Formula and Bulking Agents are the only products marketed that use the special formulations developed and approved by Robert Gray to achieve this effect. It took him nine full years to develop and devise this system of intestinal cleansing. It has been with us for more than 30 years now, indeed a testament to the program’s efficacy.

 

Earth Notions is happy to make this program available to Canadians once again. They are the exclusive distributor for Holistic Horizons products in Canada.

Whole Body Vibration Platform: Rejuvenates Cells and Tissues

 Report By Liala Epstein

Vibefit Canada is now offering three models of triangular oscillating whole body vibration machines. The Whole Body Vibration (WBV) platform is one of the latest trends in health, fitness and wellness. The technology was developed by the Russian Space Program during the 1960s and later adopted by NASA to help overcome decrease in bone mass and muscle tone due to extended periods of weightlessness in space crafts.

 

Research over the last 40 years led to the use of WBV technology in physical therapy, sports medicine, athletics and fitness. Healthcare practitioners, medical centres, universities, fitness centers, seniors’ facilities, professional sports teams and athletes use WBV machines in a variety of applications. Its uses range from the treatment and prevention of illnesses, injuries, and adverse health conditions to accelerated muscle building and rapid weight loss.

 

The user can sit, lie or place a body part on the vibration platform and instantly feel frequencies travel throughout the body. Research shows the energizing vibrations speed up metabolism and improve health at the cellular level. 

 

·      Activity at the Cellular Level – Whole Body Vibration contracts, expands and exercises every cell in the body simultaneously from one to 50 times per second. This action enhances cellular activity, increasing cellular oxygen and enhancing cellular nutrient up-take. This action also moves the acidity (waste products) out of the cells and tissues, and out into the extracellular fluids to be removed by perspiration or urination.

 

·      Remedial and Rejuvenation – Research suggests that the vibrations produced by WBV increase the production of regenerative hormones, improves blood circulation in skin and muscles, strengthens bone tissue by 34%, reduces joint and back pain, improves lymphatic drainage, encourages digestion and colonic movement, repairs ligaments and tendons, and increases the basal metabolic rate. WBV research also suggests these enhancements result in anti-cellulite, collagen improvement, fat reduction, more strength, more speed, more stamina, rapid recovery of muscles and tissue, and increased flexibility, mobility and coordination.

 

Research shows that WBV therapy also leads to speedier rehabilitation for loss of use events (such as stroke) and injuries, regardless of medical, neurological or physical condition. Ongoing research shows that WBV exercise promises to improve functioning of the elderly on many levels. WBV exercise provides low impact, passive aggressive exercises for folks who do not move their bodies or cannot move their bodies daily because of health challenges. Furthermore, its value in treatment of chronic and debilitating health conditions has also been established in research. This therapy has been seen to yield increase in function (balance, strength) in persons with Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke and Cerebral Palsy. It has also found to be effective in the treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis, Fibromyalgia, repetitive strain injuries and Carpal Tunnel syndrome. 

 

·      Spa Experience

 

In addition to its value in exercise and rehabilitation, the WBV machines provide whole body massage and relaxation. The machines passively work all of the body’s muscle groups, reducing stress-inducing cortisol by up to 32% and increasing endorphin and serotonin levels, which is beneficial for wellness and sense of well-being.

 

These benefits, in combination with the enhanced reduction of cellulite and detoxification of toxins, help to create a complete spa experience.

 

·      Accelerated Training

 

WBV uses vibration that helps exercise muscles as if it is working out more strenuously than it actually is. WBV causes muscles to contract and stretch instinctively at rates that vary three to 50 times per second (3Hz to 50Hz) depending on the frequency being delivered. (Muscles generally contract once or twice a second.) The superior muscle activation that WBV stimulates compared to conventional training, means that less time is required to work muscle groups completely. This is achieved with minimal stress on the joints and ligaments.

 

The market for in-home machines is relatively new to North America, but well established in Australia where the technology was introduced to the public more than 18 years ago.

 

Nearly 90% of the studies done on whole body vibration were performed on units that generate triangular oscillation. These machines produce a side-to-side and up-and-down movement (see-saw); the action simulates the natural crossover pattern that forms the basis for human walking or running. This pattern also allows for the stabilization of the spine and head due to the left-right natural tilting action of the pelvis during locomotion. (Machines generating vibrations on three dimensions, known as tri-planar vibration are generally used by high performance athletes.) Customers find triangular oscillating machine most comfortable and beneficial, so it is no surprise that the most popular whole body vibration machines are those that generate triangular oscillation.

 

Vibefit Canada’s three models of triangular oscillating whole body vibration machines range from $799 to $1,399. Prices include shipping and a two-year full replacement warranty.
