Got 10mins to be "Wishy Washy"?

I wanted to share with you today a few things. Yesterday I took 10mins from a 75min coaching call with Stuart Tomc who is Nordic Naturals Educator!

The information he presented in this interview was MIND BLOWING, it's not very often I get "blown away" from people who teach health.

Stuart Tomc is one of those people who has "connected the dots" in health and looks far bigger then JUST Omega 3/fish oil or "his way" and this is what "blows my mind"..... (often guru's tell you their way from a egocentric point of view or it's with a agenda of some kind that is about them!!)

Stuart see's the bigger picture of TOTALITY and I have believed totality forever, it's actually part of our Maori culture here in NZ so this is where my "belief" of totality/holistic thinking comes from!!

Our conversation touched on History, Science, Research, Quantum Physics, Culture, Functional Medicine, Chemistry, Nutrition - (currently & in the past), belief systems plus much more.... was and is still a "goose bump" experience!

In this 10min clip Stuart talks about where he starts with Omega 3 regardless if you are a expert or a novice!

I hope you are open minded enough to listen to this 10min clip, there's nothing to buy, it's just me providing you with some Health and Fitness I.Q.

------>>>> 10mins with Start Tomc <<<<--------

If you do choose to listen in, put the ear phone in or turn up the speakers and put the TV on for the kids to baby sit the kids ;-)

Thanks for being part of EHP's Tribal News-letter, with all the online guru's out there these days, it means a lot that you are part of our whanau/tribe!

P.S. There are a lot of awesome people out their teaching health and fitness, however there are only a couple in my mind that can connect the dots on so many different levels other then just sets, reps, nutrition, quantum physics, science, the 'no mind', mature ego, life plus much more and LIVING IT!!

Sure it maybe a bit "wishy washy" for you this whole holisty/totality thing and that's ok, when you are ready to see a totality or holistic view, I or someone else will help you "see it"!!

Go on I dare you to be "wishy washy" for 10mins :-)

How to Increase Your Childs I.Q!!

The message rings out all over town on the TV, billboards, flyers and the radio, ‘back to school.’ It heralds the end of summer and the need to get our kids’ brains back into gear after the holidays.

As bags are packed, uniforms pressed, books collected and lunches made, how can we further support the learning process for our kids throughout the long school year?

Look No further then "turbo-boosting brain food’" is in order!

Essential fatty acids or EFA’s are the best way to "turbo boost" your child’s brain!!

EFA’s are amongst the most crucial nutrients for children, as most are deficient. EFA’s are considered ‘essential fats’ because they are required for good health but cannot be produced by our bodies. The body requires these beneficial fats to support all bodily systems. According to research the most beneficial EFA’s are the omega-3’s eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

It was once believed that the brain was fully developed at birth. While it is true that most of the brain cells are formed by this time, advances in research have enabled us to see that the brain continues to form after birth.

EFA’s have been shown to play a key role in the health of the brain. Did you know that the brain is made up of 60% fat? And up to half of that fat being omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.

So what does that all mean? Children’s brains need a steady supply of EFA’s to perform at their best. DHA is extremely important to the nerve and brain cells and has shown tin research to improve learning, memory and cognition in children.

Infants require DHA for proper brain, eye, immune and central nervous system development.

The omega 3’s found in cold water fish such as sardines, anchovies, and cod are a great food source of the EFA’s they need, but due to concerns about environmental toxins (such as mercury), experts recommend a purified fish oil supplement as the ideal source of EPA and DHA.

Here are a few examples of what fish oil can do:

• Fish oil linked to improved learning, memory & spelling ability
  South African researchers followed 355 children aged 6-9 to see what effect fish oil supplements had. The results showed children’s verbal, learning and spelling ability improved, they retained information better and were less likely to take sick days.
  
  
• Fish oil improves attention span, learning and behaviour
  The University of South Australia conducted a 15 week study on 132 children aged 7-12 who had ADHD. The children given fish oil capsules were calmer and less impulsive and their behaviour, attention and vocabulary all improved.
  

One way to make sure your children get the omega-3s they need is to use fish oil supplements designed specifically for their developing brains.
Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA is made entirely from Arctic cod liver oil, rich in the omega-3 DHA.

This formula is essential for the proper development of the brain, eyes, nervous and immune systems. Supplementing with Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA is a safe, pure and effective way to improve your children’s health, and give them a nutritional head start in their mental, physical, and social well-being.

Even better, children love the fresh strawberry taste of Nordic Naturals Children’s DHA, which make them easy to chew or swallow. It is available in small chewable soft gels or in liquid form.

How much is enough?
Generally fish oil liquid can be given to a child 8 months and up and capsules from 3 years and up. Recommended dose is included on the label

FREE Bottle of Fish Oil.....

Everyone seems to understand the benefits of fish oil on our health, and if you don't then let me introduce it to you!! Quite simply, if you live in the western world you NEED to supplement with Omega 3's or fish oil as it's commonly known as!!

Some facts;

Did you know that according to Charles Poliquin strength coach out of USA originally Canada, says that "fish oil has treated every disease known to man, at some stage"!!

Don't believe me, google it and find a disease that it has not treated at some stage.... I gave up after 2 pages and took his word for it!!

Now, let's just imagine for a moment that it is NOT true, let's just say it is 70% true....that's a lot of % in your favor to AT LEAST consider the benefit of it don't you think ?

If you are already a I.Q person to understanding the benefits of fish oil to you and your family's health then you need to raise that I.Q to new heights....

Here's what I'm finding in the "fish oil I.Q. community"...

Group A) Know about the benefits of Fish Oil/Omega 3's and take it but generally take the "cheap" and often "toxic" fish oils because it's "cheap" and you get a crap load of tablets for $19.95 or something like that......

Group B) This group knows very little to nothing about the benefits of fish oil and as a result do nothing..... I'm not being disrespectful when I say this, however if you don't know, you don't do!

Now, regardless of the "box" you belong too, I'm offering you an opportunity to get a FR_EE bottle of one of the Best Brands in the WORLD!! That's right not NZ or Aussie but the world!

To get this bottle of Omega 3's and to learn more of the benefits of Omega 3's all you have to do is go here. FREE bottle of Cod Liver Oil

On this page, you will have a short video of what you need to do to claim your free bottle!

Here is 7 Ways Fish Oil will improve your Health Today!

1. Increase your I.Q
2. Increase your "happy" gene
3. Decrease "fat" making gene
   
4. Increase cardiovascular health i.e. "good" cholesterol
   
5. Decrease "bad" cholesterol
   
6. Decrease joint inflammation
7. Increase eye vision

That's 7 ways Omega 3's can impact your health and the crazy thing is, they are all "different", I mean how different can you get from eye vision to joint inflammation or decreases the "bad" fats vs increases your I.Q.... I mean how many supplements effect such a broad spectrum of health issues?

Now, if you still don't believe me then I suggest you go and "research" Omega 3's NOW!! If you do believe me and or you already take some, you are required to raise your threshold of what you know i.e. Are you taking fish oils that are safe?

Go here now to see the best we have to offer in NZ and AU hands down & I don't say this to "sell" to you, I do this because that's in my heart!!

Something fishy in Steelers' diet!?

Something fishy in Steelers' diet aids cardiovascular health

The Pittsburgh Steelers, a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are the reigning National Football League champions, having won the Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009.

One big advantage the Steelers have held over their opponents this year has involved a secret supplement - the Steelers have been taking fish oil.

Thirty-six Steelers, ages 23 to 41, participated in a two-year study to determine the cardiovascular advantages of moderately high doses of fish oil. Results conclude that the omega-3 oil raised their high-density lipoproteins (good cholesterol) and lowered very low-density lipoproteins (a form of bad cholesterol) and triglycerides.

The study appears in the new journal, Sports Health: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach. Randomly selected Steelers were placed on fish oil while others used a placebo as the control group.Highly purified fish oil supplements with mixed levels of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) - the two healthful polyunsaturated fats in fish oil - were used for 60 days.

Good cholesterol, or HDL levels, rose on average by 26 percent in the treatment group compared with 14 percent in the control group. The treatment group also experienced an 8 percent decline in triglycerides, while the control group had a 44 percent increase. High triglyceride levels are a good predictor of coronary heart disease. Declines in the damaging particles in LDL or bad cholesterol - including very low-density and intermediate-density lipoproteins - were also noted in those using fish oil.

Fish oil also is an anti-inflammatory agent, which allows athletes to heal faster from injury while improving attention span, reaction time and cognitive processing.

"This is very simple and safe therapy that's inexpensive," said Dr. James Ehrlich, chief medical officer for Atherotech that developed the Vertical Auto Profile test used to analyze cholesterol levels. "Their numbers look very good."

Dr. Ehrlich noted that many retired National Football League players are obese and have the precursor to diabetes known as metabolic syndrome, along with high blood pressure and cholesterol. 82 percent of 233 retired National Football League players under age 50 were found to have abnormal narrowing and blockages of arteries. About 40 percent also suffer from sleep apnea. Football injuries often render them unable to exercise after retirement. Together, the factors are a formula for heart disease.

"The NFL athlete statistically is at higher risk for future cardiovascular disease and sudden heart attack," Dr. Ehrlich said. "The study demonstrated effectively and dramatically that fish oil improved good cholesterol and lowered damaging particles and triglycerides. It went in the right direction for all of them."

Despite the small number of participants, "rather dramatic improvements in blood lipid profiles were achieved using moderately high doses of omega-3 fish oil supplementation," the study states.

The results suggest that "the professional NFL player should consider continued use of omega-3 supplementation throughout his active years and in retirement."

5 Reasons fish oils for your Body Composition by Charles Poliquin & Dr Mark Houston MD

1. Fish oils turn on the lipolytic genes (fat burning genes)

2. Fish oils turn off the lipogenic genes (fat storage genes)

3. Preferential utilization for energy production once stored in t

4. Adipocytes.Reduced inflammation from physical training.

5. Fish oils are a great stress fighter. Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids inhibits the adrenal activation of steroids, aldosterone, epinephrine and norepinephrine (catecholamines) elicited by a mental stress, apparently through effects exerted at the level of the central nervous system. Therefore, for the same amount of stress, one will produce fewer stress hormones if consuming fish oils on a regular basis.
   

Flaxseed oil or Fish Oil?
Without getting all 'geeky' on you, basically flaxseed oil goes through 4 stages before the body can utilize it and then there is research upon how much you can actually use anyway once it's in a place to be used by the body. Whether you can use it or not is person specific i.e. diabetes, ethnicity, alchol consumption etc...

Please don't mistaken that for Flaxseed is not valuable because it is, however fish oil will ensure you get to utilize all of the EPA/DHA consumed without any debate about if you can utilize it or not!

How much do you take?
I have only seen "Results" from taking 9-15grams per day towards lean body mass, pain relief from the stress of training/life, mood, sugar cravings (however I will be getting my hands on research of quantity in the future).

Also to note that the QUALITY of the fish oil at this consumption or any consumption is VITAL!!! Consumer mag has just done some tests on who/what companies in NZ are living the 'truth' behind what they say on the bottles for quality and quantity!

Nordic Naturals is by far the best company who do fish oils and I'm fortunate enough to be a supplier of theirs! If their was a better company that made fish oils and supplied NZ, without a doubt I would supply their product!!

Start today taking a GREAT QUALITY fish oil I don't care if it's 1 capsule the most important thing is you start by taking 1 step! Most health shops supply Nordic Naturals it's a higher price then other brands, but you pay for what you get and it's quality GUARANTEED!
