JayTip #1
GOT FISH? FISH OIL CAN KEEP YOU YOUNG, PAIN-FREE, AND
MENTALLY POWERFUL
|
 |
When you think of fish oil, what comes to
mind? If all you can imagine is the disgusting cod liver oil
your mother used to make you take, think again. Fish oil
doesn't have to taste awful! Instead of buying cod liver
oil, spend a little more for the natural,
stable fish oil
that is odorless and come in capsule form. Stable fish oil
also has more significant health benefits.
i
Omega-6 fatty acids (the "bad" fats contained in vegetable
and saturated oils) really aren't bad at all; however, they
must be balanced with omega-3 fatty acids or your body
becomes more prone to infection of all kinds. Most Americans
eat far too much omega-6 fatty acids and are deficient in
omega-3s.ii High levels of omega-6 paired
with low levels of omega-3s can be associated with greater
depressive symptoms and neuroticism, so it's |
vital that you get enough omega-3 to balance the omega-6 in
your diet. iii The American Heart
Association touts the benefits of omega-3, recommending
multiple servings of fish every week, but an easier way to
make sure you get enough omega-3 fats is to simply take a
fish oil supplement once a day. iv If you
opt to eat fish more frequently, watch the amount of mercury
you're eating by checking the
FDA's table of mercury in fish
here.
Taking a fish oil supplement regularly can:
Lessen pain and inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids
have a significant positive effect on your body's
inflammatory response and help prevent and relieve painful
conditions such as arthritis.
Protect against stroke and improve cardiovascular health.
Studies highlighted by the American Heart Association
clearly show that those with higher levels of omega-3s in
their diets have far lower rates of coronary heart disease
than those who (like most people) have omega-6 heavy diets.
A far lower incidence of stroke has also been observed in
those with omega-3 rich diets. v
Improve brain function and increase mental capacity.
Children with low levels of omega-3 have a lower mental
capacity overall, especially in solving mathematical
problems. Studies have shown that increasing omega-3 intake
increases intellectual capacity as early as two hours after
intake. vi
Lessen depression and/or psychosis. According to many
studies, including one conducted by researchers at the
United Kingdom's University of Sheffield, omega-3 fish oil
supplements can alleviate symptoms of bipolar disorder,
depression, and psychosis. vii
Reduce symptoms of hyperactivity disorders such as ADD
and ADHD. A study by the UK's Durham Education Authority
showed omega-3 can improve the brain power and concentration
of hyperactive children. Information from the University of
Adelaide suggests that omega-3 fish oil may have a more
significant long-term effect on ADD than medication.
viii
Lower rates of heart, joint, and skin problems. Older
Eskimos have an extremely low rate of heart disease and
joint and skin afflictions. Studies show that this is almost
certainly due to the significant amount of fish they
consume, as omega-3-rich fish can prevent cardiac
arrhythmias and build-up in the arteries.
ix Receive the same
heart-healthy benefits by adding fish oil supplements to
your diet!
TIP! For all the positive benefits of Omega-3 fish oil, make
Jay Robb's pharmaceutical grade Nordic Sea Fish Oil part of
your daily routine! |

JayTip #2
THE WONDERS OF VITAMIN C
|
|
 |
Back in the days of pirates and seafaring
explorers, sailors on long journeys were often afflicted
with a disease called scurvy, which resulted in spongy,
bleeding gums, tooth loss, and purple spots on the body. If
it was left untreated, it could be fatal. Thousands of
sailors died from this disease, which was caused by a
deficiency of vitamin C. Introducing limes into the diets of
English sailors on long voyages gave them the nickname
"limeys," but it made the disease nearly disappear. Vitamin
C deficiencies can range from severe (fatal) to nearly
unnoticeable. Today, nearly everyone gets
some vitamin C in their diets. You may not be in danger of
scurvy, but adding more vitamin C to your diet can:
|
- Prevent
cardiovascular disease. In a recent study,
researchers found that vitamins C and E can help prevent
heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases by
regulating the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
These vitamins can also reduce the free radicals that
form inside the heart and mitigate blood clots so your
heart functions normally. x
- Reduce likelihood
of stroke. The level of vitamin C in your body may
reduce your risk for stroke, according to a long-term
study of over 20,000 UK residents. Researchers found
that over ten years, those with the highest
concentration of Vitamin C at the beginning of the study
ended up with a 42 percent lower risk of stroke, even
after adjusting for variable factors.
xi
- Slow skin
wrinkling. According to the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition what you eat affects how quickly your
skin ages. In recent studies on skin aging, researchers
reported fewer wrinkles in people whose diets had plenty
of vitamin C-rich foods. A vitamin C-deficient diet
seems to be a risk factor for wrinkles and age-related
skin dryness. Researchers say this makes sense: vitamin
C is an antioxidant that synthesizes collagen, a protein
that can help keep your skin elastic.
xii
- Strengthen your
immune system. Noble Prize-winning scientist Linus
Pauling was the first to give vitamin C exposure as a
wonderful way to strengthen your immune system. Vitamin
C does this by neutralizing the free radicals that cause
many illnesses and has consistently been used as an
anti-inflammatory agent and immunity builder.
- To get more vitamin
C in your diet, eat more high-citrus fruits and
vegetables, and take a vitamin C supplement. You are
probably familiar with the sweet, juicy Bing Cherries
you can purchase at the grocery store, but you may not
know that some of the best vitamin C on earth comes from
a cherry. Of all the fruits and vegetables, Acerola
Cherries contain one of the highest concentrations of
naturally occurring vitamin C on earth (not the
synthetic ascorbic acid that is often marketed as a
cheap form of vitamin C).
- TIP! Make the
benefits of vitamin C part of your life today by
supplementing your diet with Jay Robb's
Acerola C Cherry
Vitamin C Extract! or try Jay Robb's
Vitamin C Bioflavanoid Complex!

JayTip #3
KICK THE CAFFEINE HABIT!
|
|
 |
Does your morning routine include a
pit stop at your local coffee shop or café? Are you addicted to soda
pop, coffee, or tea? Over 85 percent of Americans consume caffeine
regularly. Each coffee drinker has an average of 3.3 cups per day,
and 65 percent of all coffee is consumed at breakfast. xiii If you
are among the addicted, you are putting your mental and physical
health in danger and hurting your ability to realize peace.
Let's be honest: caffeine is just a legal drug that produces an
altered mental and physical state. If you're like many Americans,
you are running on a caffeine-induced high, and if you must rely on
caffeine to get you through your day, you're really an addict. The
Starbucks phenomenon is part of a recent upswing in coffee and soft
drink consumption, but beware of the effects of caffeine. |
Regular caffeine intake/caffeine addiction can:
Erode your health. A popular science experiment involving a glass of
coke and an uncoated iron nail proves that Coca-Cola can dissolve
iron in less than five days. Soft drinks are one way you might
choose to consume caffeine, but if they can melt iron so quickly,
imagine what they can do to your teeth and stomach!
Elevate blood pressure. In a recent study conducted at Duke
University, regular coffee drinkers with type 2 diabetes ingested
the caffeine equivalent of 4 cups of coffee a day (their normal
intake). When they took the caffeine, their blood sugar levels rose
nearly 10 percent. xiv
Elevate blood glucose levels in diabetics and exaggerate the effects
of stress. The Duke University study referenced above also concluded
that caffeine could make it more difficult for diabetics to control
their glucose levels, even if they did not consume fully caffeinated
beverages. Also, on days when the subjects took caffeine, their
blood pressure was much higher. If you think caffeine is relieving
your stress, think again. The same study revealed that stress
hormone levels can rise an average of 32 percent in those who
consume caffeine. xv
Increase risk of miscarriage. A study of over a thousand pregnant
California women showed that women who regularly consumed 200 mg of
caffeine a day (the equivalent of only 10 ounces of coffee) were
twice as likely to miscarry. xvi
Cause you to lose touch with yourself. Caffeine is a stimulant that
causes you to feel differently than you would otherwise feel. When
you are exhausted, caffeine may make you feel nervous or anxious
instead. When you are in an unnatural state, it is impossible to
truly be at peace.
Create difficulty sleeping. According to a recent study in the
Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, consuming caffeine makes your
body's sleep cycles more shallow, which can reduce your body's
perceived quality of rest and total time spent sleeping.
xvii
Cause you to experience anxiety and depression. Caffeine alters the
natural action of the adrenal glands, encouraging secretion of
adrenaline, an anxiety-increasing hormone. xviii Interestingly,
caffeine is often used in clinical trials to induce panic attacks in
unstable patients. To give your mental health a boost, kick the
caffeine habit!
TIP! To reconnect to life without a caffeine buzz, start slowly.
Cut caffeine out of your diet gradually and expect some withdrawal
symptoms. Happily, the symptoms should disappear within a few days,
or after your system has cleansed itself. Switch to drinking pure
water and herbal teas. Get more sleep to keep yourself rested and
healthy. Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing,
prayer, yoga, and meditation. For more information on how to connect
to the real you, see my newly-released book,
Be Still!

Q:
I've tried to follow strict low-carb diets but I
only lose weight initially, then after a few weeks I
lose control, blow the diet, and gain the weight
back. I need to lose 45 pounds in all. On strict
low-carb dieting, it seems like all weight loss
stops after my first two weeks. I know that limiting
my carbohydrate intake can help me lose weight but
am baffled as to why my weight loss comes to a halt
after only a few weeks of dieting.
A:
Carb-controlled
eating is effective for losing weight because it
manages the fat-storing hormone insulin.
Unfortunately, too much of a good thing can spell
failure. Limiting carbohydrate intake is effective
as long as you DO NOT restrict carbohydrate too
severely. Your body is designed to operate by
burning carbohydrate sometimes and fat at other
times.
|
Both are ideal sources of
fuel. If a person cuts carbs severely, he or she will lose
weight quickly and easily, usually without any hunger. But
within a matter of days glycogen levels can become depleted
and trouble can soon follow.
Glycogen is carbohydrate stored in the muscles and liver.
Muscle glycogen reserves are what power you while exercising
and liver glycogen keep blood sugar levels stable to power
your brain cells. During intense exercise, your body will
burn mostly stored carbohydrate, not fat. For slow
movements, such as walking, if insulin levels are in check
your body will choose fat as its primary fuel choice. If
muscle or liver glycogen levels become depleted, you quickly
become weak and tired. You may also have poor brain
function. This simply means you need to increase your
carbohydrate intake. If you are not consuming enough
carbohydrate your body may think it is starving and you will
stop losing weight, which is why extreme low-carb dieting
only works for a week or two.
My Fat Burning Diet and my all-new Fat Burning Diet Made
Easy programs teach you how to eat to burn fat approximately
50% of the time and burn and store carbohydrate 50% of the
time. This is achieved by consuming some low-carb meals to
help you burn fat and some higher-carb meals to allow your
body to reload diminishing glycogen levels. When followed
correctly, you can easily reach your goal weight without
fatigue and without finding yourself stuck in a weight-loss
plateau. Please see our book section online for more
information on The Fat Burning Diet and
The Fat
Burning Diet Made Easy.

It's mango season, and I must admit mangos are my favorite
fruit. In North America, mangos are in season from May
through July. Most people don't know this, but an organic
Haden mango can be eaten skin and all, just like an apple!
Other varieties can also be eaten with the skin, but Haden
mangos are the best because they have thinner skins and less
stringy flesh. In fact, if you grew up on the islands, you
would probably have picked mangos from the trees and eaten
them right on the spot. They are delicious, juicy, and high
in fiber. For use in the shake below, peel the mango and
slice off the juicy, orange flesh with a sharp knife, being
careful of the large, white pit in the middle.
