NEWSFLASH!

Jay Robb to make big splash in Anaheim

Anaheim, Ca- The Jay Robb Corporation will make its annual appearance at Expo West Natural Foods Convention in Anaheim, California March 13-16. You will find us at booth #3846.

This year the company will unveil its larger-than-life 20 x 20 booth and backdrop, shown left.

• You suddenly come down with a fever over 101 F.
• You shake and get chills.
• Your head starts aching and/or you get a dry cough.
• You begin suffering muscular aches and pains, especially in your back, arms, and legs.
• You suffer from fatigue, loss of appetite, weakness, and nasal congestion. ⁱⁱⁱ

Be proactive so you can stay healthy, even at the peak of flu season:

• Boost your immune system naturally. Nearly 70% of your immune defenses are located in the colon, which means a healthy population of friendly bacteria is critical for immunity to illness. ^iv  Regular use of plain yogurt, a fiber supplement, and sweet dairy whey can do wonders for building a strong lactobacteria force in the colon. For more information on colon health, see my book Get Your Colon Rollin'.
• When possible, sunbathe for short periods of time, without the use of sunscreen. The sun helps to naturally boost your immune system, convert cholesterol into Vitamin D, and helps relieve stress. ^v
• Exercise at least 3 times per week to boost your immune system. If you end up getting sick, your symptoms will be milder and you'll recover faster than others do.
• Eat right and sleep at night to boost your immune system and strengthen your body. Try whole grains, fresh fruits, and lean proteins. Sleep 7-9 hours a night.
• Wash your hands often, so you don't pick up someone else's germs and get sick.
• Avoid crowds and limit air travel to reduce your chances of catching something from someone less careful than you. ^vi
• Make sure you're getting plenty of Vitamin C in your diet and through supplements. Vitamin C helps keep your body strong and can also help you get over your symptoms sooner. As a clinical nutritionist, I often suggest taking 2-4 capsules of Jay Robb Acerola C, 3 times daily with meals (each capsule can provide 140 mg of naturally occurring Vitamin C). You can also supplement with Jay Robb Vitamin C Complex taking 2 capsules 3 times daily with meals.

POWER UP WITH PROTEIN
 

• High cholesterol or inability to concentrate? If so, get your protein in the form of fish-it's high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which protect against high cholesterol and improve brain function. When purchasing or ordering, select "wild" fish rather than farmed fish (farmed fish are high in Omega-6, rather than Omega-3)
• A feeling of constant hunger? Try eating more proteins and healthy fats, both of which help keep you satisfied and nutritionally fulfilled. ^vii
• Constipation? Increase your intake of proteins such as yogurt. Yogurt is replete with exogenous lactobacilli which assist the friendly bacteria in the colon, leading to stools that are more frequent and easier to pass.
• Dairy allergies? Eat more eggs, lean meats, and/or egg white protein to meet your daily protein needs.

WHY WHEY?
 

For years, bodybuilders and weightlifters have been using whey protein as an effective way to build muscle and burn fat, but that's not all whey is good for. Research by the National Dairy Council indicates that whey protein improves cardiovascular health and strengthens the immune system. Whey has powerful antimicrobial and antiviral properties and can protect you from viruses. Studies show whey protein is even effective at fighting HIV. ^viii

Whey protein is a dairy-based protein derived from the cheese-making process by being strained through filters to separate it from the lactose. Whey is actually a super-protein. Compared to other proteins, it contains significantly more protein and far less fat and lactose (if any at all). Whey has numerous health benefits and has been proven to help athletes build more muscle than any other type of protein.

• Build and repair body cells, muscles, and bones. If you work out, whey protein can help you build muscle and shed fat more efficiently, so you can look and feel your best.
• Lose weight, as many studies have indicated. Whey protein isolate (the exclusive protein used in Jay Robb Whey Protein) has ZERO fat, ZERO carbs, and makes you feel full, to help you shed pounds with ease.
• Get protein from a dairy source, even if you're lactose intolerant. Whey protein isolate is the purest form of whey protein and can be less than 0.1 gram of lactose per tablespoon. Research shows you should have no reaction to that much lactose!
• Add protein to your diet without straining your digestive system. Whey protein digests quickly and easily, providing you with all the essential amino acids. ^ix
• Feel calmer and more relaxed. Research indicates that whey may be able to reduce stress and depression by lowering cortisol and increasing levels of serotonin in the brain, making you feel happier-naturally! ^x
• Be healthier. Whey protein increases bone density, guards against chronic illness, and fights breast cancer with double the efficiency of soy protein. ^xi  It also slows the aging process, so you feel strong and look younger.

Q:  Would you recommend whey or egg protein for pre- and/or post-workout shakes? I am considering the egg protein as a breakfast meal replacement, but am wondering if I can utilize the product other times. -Scott E. Eckenrode A:  The question of whether to take protein before or after a workout is a good one. Traditional wisdom (and some scientific research) indicates that a protein drink consumed up to three hours after a workout aids muscle growth significantly. But newer research done by the University of Texas at Galveston seems to say you can maximize the growth and repair of your muscles by taking a protein drink before you work out.

In a 2001 study, those who took a protein drink before working out increased their protein synthesis more than those who took the same drink after working out. ^xii In short, you'll benefit from taking protein before and/or after your workout, but you'll benefit more if you take the protein before, according to that study. ^xiii

In terms of which protein to choose, whey protein isolate is probably your best choice. It contains more protein than other proteins, it's easier for your system to digest (especially important for a pre-workout protein drink), and it slows the aging process as an added long-term benefit. Protein isn't just for use as a breakfast replacement or workout booster. You can take it several times a day to promote a feeling of fullness between meals and an increase in muscle and tissue repair and toning.
