Antioxidants present in Isopure Protein products
Everyone has heard about the importance of a balanced diet for maintaining good health. Similarly, everyone knows that they should be getting exercise – or at the very least adding more activity into their days. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential – without it, you’ll find that your immune system starts to slack off a bit and you put yourself at a greater risk for catching a cold or coming down with the flu.
We all know what we should be doing, but let’s be honest: very few of us eat a balanced diet all of the time. Many of us make the choice to take the elevator rather than the stairs and we try to find a parking place that’s as close as possible to our destination rather than taking the opportunity to walk a little further. We also tend to let stress, work, social gatherings and more interfere with the amount of sleep that we’re able to get each night.
When we don’t go the extra mile to take care of ourselves, and when our immune systems start to falter because of it, we may not feel it right away. Soon, sluggishness starts creeping in. This sluggishness not only slows us down, it also ages us prematurely.
Fortunately, there’s something that we can do in order to maintain our young living. We can maintain our youth simply by adding antioxidants to our diet.
What are antioxidants? The simplest answer is that antioxidants are the vitamins and minerals found in foods that serve to fight off disease. The more complex answer is that antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium, Vitamin A that are found in fruits and vegetables, all present in Isopure Protein products. By making an effort to add antioxidants to our diet, we can keep our young living going; we can keep ourselves healthier longer.
Antioxidants are, in effect, sponges that soak up the free radicals in our systems. By fighting the free radicals in our bodies – free radicals that are the result of less healthy foods that we eat, alcohol that we drink and smoke that we’re exposed to (whether we smoke cigarettes ourselves or are exposed to second hand smoke from friends, family members who smoke, neighbors in our apartment buildings or co-workers at the office) – by adding more fruits and vegetables to our diet and by adding young living essential oils, we are better able to maintain our good health and reduce the risk of developing some cancers and even heart disease and stroke.
Young living oils take the essential oils from lemons and oranges and combine them with Ningxia wolfberries, juices from blueberries and pomegranate, along with other nutrient sources. Those who add antioxidants in this way will find that they:
* have increased energy; that they have regained a sense of young living that doesn’t come from caffeine or other stimulants that effect you for a short while and then wear off leaving you to crash even harder, feeling more tired than you had before, and,
* help you to protect your body from the effects of a weakened immune system that comes from a lack of adequate self care.
However, increased energy and a sense of better health aren’t the only reasons why young living oils are beneficial to your body. The other reason is that the antioxidants serve to help your body to work more effectively. From boosting your immune function to helping your liver to better filter out toxins, from improving your cardiovascular function to maintaining the health of your eyes, you’ll find that antioxidants along with you living oils just help you to feel better.
While you may not always be able to make the time to eat balanced meals, you may not always be able to make time for a run or for time at the gym, you’ll find that increasing the antioxidants in your body with young living oils doesn’t take much time but still offers many of the same benefits. You’ll also find that, because the energy rush young living essential oils is all natural and without stimulants, not only won’t you crash out but also your sleep cycle is less likely to be disrupted.
Are these essential oils the magic bullet to good health? Not necessarily, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t the key to young living.
Many of these antioxidants are presents in Isopure Protein products, this being the main reason I’ve added this article to the advice column!
Eight Things You Should Know Before Taking Protein Supplements
A lot of controversies arouse these days regarding whether protein powders are beneficial to your health or not. There are many types of protein powders nowadays with all kind of added supplements (vitamins, minerals, etc.) all with different intentions. Isopure protein are no exception!!!
This short summary reveals top eight things you should know and do before taking any protein powder products. While it’s certain that some supplements can provide some benefits for weight loss and increased fitness, taking too much can lead to serious side effects.
Below are some tips to ensure you get the most out of them:
1. Highly recommended: before taking any supplements go to your physician and do a complete checkup, especially regarding cardiovascular, renal and liver functions. Tell your physician about what supplements you are going to take and ask him for an advice.
2. Learn as much as you can about the supplements you want to take. Be sure they are the best for your purpose – lose weight, increase your muscle mass, etc. You can start by googleing the products your physician/advisor recommended. You can get a lot of information and, most important you can find offers which are much lower than your local store (sometimes half the price). You can also ask a qualified fitness trainer, a local pharmacist even a qualified nutritionist (the most expensive solution though).
3. Take only well-known supplements. Stay away from those without a good brand name, expired ones, not FDA-approved, very new or unusual.
4. Beware of the products which claim they offer a lot more than the rest – they are either lying or have forbidden ingredients (sibutramine for example for weight loss)
5. Don’t take too much. Stick to the recommended values or your kidneys and liver will suffer.
6. If you develop side effects stop immediately and do to a physician. Being sick is a lot worse than having a few extra pounds.
7. Don’t use them as your sole protein source; there are ingredients even the most advanced formulas cannot provide. Eat chicken or fish as many times as you can.
8. Don’t trust too much internet forums and blogs; many times “innocent users” are affiliates for various products and they are there to sell. Search bad reviews first as they are most certainly from real users. You have some here on the Isopure protein reviews page for this product.
My personal experience with isopure protein products
Why am I talking about Isopure Proteins? Because, in my opinion, they deserve it! I am not a bodybuilder or a famous person but a simple electrician who until recently had biiiig problems with its big ugly belly and almost B cup men breasts.
I didn’t like them but what could I do? Big Chief KFC was right in the middle ot the 100 feet walk between my home and my workplace. Closer for me anyways than any decent woman (not to mention the indecent ones 
).
I’ve tried anything to get rid of my belly but nothing seemed to work – Chinese pills, vinegar cure, playing golf on the Wii, nothing until a gym opened up right near my beloved KFC. After failing to lose weight with all the above mentioned methods
I decided to give a chance to a more manly method. At first it didn’t work as, you’ve probably guessed, KFC was right next door – I then decided to find out a protein solution that could satisfy my protein craving and not get me even fatter. After trying a few poorly tasting, horrible smelling products I met the Nature’s Best Isopure Protein. AND FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. To be completely honest now I still crave from time to time to some fried, oily chicken wings…but the craving is all I get until I lose my entire belly. I’ve started working out and using Isopure Protein products a couple of months ago and I hope this summer I will have six-packs. And a decent woman besides me. I would be happy with an indecent one too 
.
I am not posting any of my pictures yet because I don’t want to scare of potential mates ). But when I will be decent looking I will brag myself here. I PROMISE!!!!! Of course, if there are any women interested in talking to me – please use the contact page! I will most certainly respond!!!!!!!!!!

How much weight should you lose each day with Isopure Proteins?
Below is a short review about how much calories should one consume each day in order not to gain weight. The source is from UK but the values are universal )
UK Department of Health Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) are a daily calorie intake of 1940 calories per day for women and 2550 for men.
Factors that affect your personal daily calorie needs include your age, height and weight, your basic level of daily activity, and your body composition. Remember to always replace (partially) carbs with Isopure Protein powder. Isopure protein powder is digested harder than fats or carbs, meaning your body must consume more calories to obtain the same quantity of energy. Just don’t overdue it!!!
In order to lose weight you need to eat less calories per day than your body needs. To lose 1lb a week you need a negative calorie balance of 500 calories per day. To lose weight at 2lb a week you need to reduce your calorie intake by 1000 calories a day.

Isopure protein and the elderly
Nature’s Best Isopure is considered to be the purest protein source commercially available. It is used for weight loss and/or muscle gain by millions worldwide. Just mix Isopure powder with milk, water or tea and you’ll have a very pure protein source.
Their potential benefits or risks weren’t properly presented on the over 65 years age group. I will try to point out below a few facts about using these protein sources by the elderly:
First of all I must point out that adequate amounts of high quality proteins are essential for slowing down/treating sarcopenia. These should however be accompanied by regular exercise to decrease whole body fat-free mass. Inadequate protein intake can lead to adverse metabolic and physiological accommodation responses that include the loss of fat-free mass and muscle strength and size. Science Daily for example has recently published a study to suggest that a diet containing moderate amounts of protein-rich food such as beef, fish, pork, chicken, dairy or nuts may help slow the deterioration of elderly.Protein supplements can also increase insulin-like growth factor I levels; increased IGF-l like levels will subsequently decrease Type 1(female) and 2 (male) osteoporosis.
Energy intake is lower in elderly. WHO recommends a 2050 kcal/day intake for people over 75 (in 23-50 years age group the recommended value for males is 2700 kcal). Protein intake however remains the same (56 g daily). This means older people should eat fewer carbs and more proteins – zero/low carbs Isopure products are ideal for this task.
Elderly people should however keep in mind that, even though protein supplements are good for them, they shouldn’t use them all the time and especially shouldn’t use them as the main energy source; metabolic protein breakdown can lead to large amount of ketones which makes the blood more acid and affects the liver and the kidneys. This is especially the case with Zero Carb Isopure products as they have very high protein levels.
As a conclusion, if you are an elderly person you should only use moderate amounts; more than that the risks are pretty high and you should be careful. If you have kidney or liver diseases avoid using them without medical advice.
