Move away from Sudafed and all the over the counter “Wonder chemicals,” as they just mask the symptoms… alas after 3 weeks of use one is better!!!

Beat the Flu Naturally Occurring Supplements

Research has shown that Olive Leaf Extract with high levels of Oleuropein can offer the best way to boost immune system against many types of bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi.

The great thing about olive leaf (Oleuropein), is that unlike synthetic flu shots or antibiotics, it does not destroy the good bacteria, only the bad bacteria. It acts as a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic, anti-viral/fungal, anti-bacterial compound.

It does this when taken orally, by dissolving the outer lining of the infectious germs, and hence then penetrates the infectious germs/cells preventing more from forming.

The effective part of Olive Leaf is a phyto-chemical compound called Oleuropein extracted from Mission and Manzanillo olive trees.  (Learn more about maintaining optimal fitness by taking the right supplements here).

A person’s immune system becomes weakened when fighting an influx of bacteria and infectious germs, making the body more susceptible to sickness.

When Olive leaf is taken orally, two natural enzymes in the body – esteraize and beta-glucosidase – convert the Oleuropein in Olive leaf to elolenic acid. Elolenic acid helps boost your immune system.

Recommended Dosage for Olive Leaf Extract Supplement

• 2 capsules 900MG ( approx) 3* per day for 3 days when symptoms first occur.
• 1 capsule 2x per day for maintenance.

Need a personal trainer and nutritional counselor to help you craft a customized fitness, nutrition, and supplement plan for you?

Replace your morning oatmeal with an apple.  That will help use your stored fat for energy. Also make sure to get your protein at breakfast and throughout the day as this will speed up your metabolism and say goodbye to those extra pounds.

Keep away from the high-glycemic carbs like cereals- white rice, breads and potatoes as much as possible. These foods will increase your Cortisol levels and lower your Serotonin causing you to want to eat more of them.

Instead for lunch eat brown rice or increase your salads/ vegetables. Drink at least 100 oz. of spring water per day as this metabolizes fat and keeps hunger in check.

A great low glycemic/sodium snack is the Greens+ high protein bar, giving you energy and stabilizing hunger. They are available for the best price I could find at the netrition website.

I want to thank you all for being awesome and know that you will have the leanest/fitest Summer yet!
