ANTI-AGING: How to maintain vitality and vibrancy with SUPERFOODS!

By Bonnie Pockley

We all age, whether we like it or not! It is certainly a natural process and part of being human. When we discuss anti-aging here we are talking about the idea of promoting vitality through our cellular health. Wonderfully, this often corresponds to a better external appearance. ‘Anti-aging’ is all about preventing or slowing down degeneration, which is a process you do in ADVANCE. 

So listen up all you young things! Anti-aging affects you and is a process that starts now!

As with weight loss, detoxification is an important part of maintaining health and vitality. Toxins are acidic in our blood and literally eat away at our cells as well as overloading our digestive, lymphatic and eliminatory system and causing them to function poorly. A toxic body results in bad breath, bad skin, early signs of aging, pain and inflammation. It is important to eliminate toxins from our diets but we must prepare our body first by building up its immunity and defence systems. When toxins are expelled from the body they are first dumped into our blood stream and are a higher stress to the body.

Building up nutrition and preparing the body for detoxification:

The nutritional component of age prevention is of incredible importance. In the initial stages of rebalancing your body, extra nutrition is required to build up your immunity in preparation for detoxification. As toxins impair cellular function and diminish cellular integrity, it is a process that is well worth undertaking. The good news is that this can be FUN when you have prepared for it properly.

Histamine response:

Believe it or not, Bee Pollen is not only extremely high in nutrition but it has an anti-histamine response. This means than taking Bee Pollen for a period of weeks before detoxing with increase your resistance to the negative side effects of detoxification and allergy reaction from toxins being released into your blood stream from your fat stores. Bee Pollen is also high in protein, which provides the amino acids basis for tissue repair and regeneration. The mineral content of Bee Pollen is also extensive and coupled with the consumption of ORAC rich Cacao (Raw Cacao has the highest anti-oxidant value of consumable foodstuff), building up nutrition can actually be a delicious and easy way too boost your health. Cacao, is also very rich in Zinc: a powerful tonic for skin suppleness, vitality and glow.

Stay hydrated:

Any beauty therapist will tell you to drink lots of water. Hydration is important for alkalising the blood and maintaining adequate fluid for cellular function. Megahydrate not only allows the body to absorb and utilize the water you drink more quickly but it delivers a high level of negatively charged hydrogen ions to your cells. What does this mean? The body is constantly exposed to large levels of free radicals that damage cells through oxidization. Negatively charged hydrogen ions stabilise the molecular structure of the cells themselves and make them less vulnerable to oxidization, thus ensuring their integrity and vitality. The process of aging is accelerated or prohibited by the health of your cells and their ability to function at as greater level as your body’s systems.

MSM and detoxification:

MSM is a MUST for detoxification and an important part of improving your body’s vitality and youthfulness. MSM is a naturally occurring form of sulphur that has both a supportive effect on the boy’s tissue membranes as well as a ‘drawing’ effect on toxins. MSM synthesises collagen that makes cell membrane’s stronger but also more permeable allowing nutrition to enter body tissue and toxin laden fat to flow out. MSM also clears stagnant bile from your liver: the organ responsible for the metabolism of fats and the filtration of what you ingest. As sulphur is required for collagen synthesis and the development of the connective tissue fibres of bones, hair, teeth and skin it plays a significant role in promoting and maintaining their health. With more MSM in our diet our cells stay buoyant, clean of toxins and youthful! MSM is a powerful beauty tonic.

Maca and balancing your hormones: 

After detoxification it is very important to balance out your hormone levels. Different types of elevated hormonal levels create problems in the body that range from weight gain to extra facial hair in women. The older we get, the more of an impact poor eating habits and lifestyle have on our hormonal balance. Hormonal levels can be ‘put out’ by environmental factors such as consuming highly processes foods as well as eating ‘healthy’ food such as soy. Maca is a product that works directly on the endocrine system to balance out wayward hormone imbalance. The good news is that it doesn’t matter what hormone imbalance you have because it works effectively and harmlessly on rebalancing the entire endocrine system. Maca is an adaptogenic root vegetable making it something that elevates inadequate hormonal levels and diminishes elevated hormonal levels; working directly with your body’s individual needs. As hormone levels are responsible the health of our skin, for metabolism and for our energy levels, balancing our hormones is the last but one of the most important components of staying young and vital.

TONIC SUPERFOODS has made it their priority to find and present you with the best quality form of Bee Pollen, Maca, Cacao and MSM. It has also been of the utmost importance to promote only the best product to redress dehydration: Megahydrate. All the products mentioned above are available through www.tonicsuperfoods.com.au/store

The core of your nutrition plan!

To ensure your body is healthy, it requires healthy fuel.  We at Tonic believe that by incorporating the right fuel, the rest will fall into balance.
Tonic was recently lucky enough to have the opportunity to collaborate with Nutritional Coach & Superfoods Enthusiast, Christian Petersen, to create a superfood formulation packed with bio-available (highly digestible) nutrition that will cleanse and rebuild the body.


The Tonic Core has been carefully crafted, with hand picked ingredients to help re-mineralise nutrient deficient bodies.  By consuming mineral rich foods, such as whole-foods, the body is able to make nutrients bio-available through our enzyme systems, and therefore utalise, breakdown and absorb only the minerals it requires.  By giving the body what it needs, cravings for less savory nutrient dense foods will decrease, the body will be better equipped to deal with stress & you will notice increased mental function.


The detox concept has been developed and marketed as a way for people to remediate their grocery sins.  This need for detox arises when people at foods that have been displaced from nature - processed foods.  Processed foods are not compatible with our bodies.  Looking around at civilized people, we can see people surviving on processed foods, however very few are thriving!  The Tonic Core is about thriving! Conventional detox programs cause rapid unsustainable, uncomfortable detox reactions in many people; causing stress to our vital organs.  The Tonic Core is a dietary upgrade, that naturally assists the body in cleansing the way it should be, minimizing organ stress.


With this nutritional philosophy in mind Tonic worked with Christian & chose three ingredients for the Tonic Core, creating a superfood formulation, that can be utalised on its own, incorporated into your current nutrition plan or used as a delivery system incorporated with other nutrient dense superfoods.  The ingredients chosen carefully for the Tonic Core are Raw Cacao, Maca & Mesquite.

Raw Cacao

Cacao is a great source of phytonutrients including aminos, protein, omega-3, calcium, zinc, sulphur, copper, potassium, beta-carotene, chromium and magnesium.

Magnesium is critical for muscle relaxation, circulation, and heart health.  It is the most abundant mineral found in the heart. Magnesium helps us to relax, and prevents us from getting overly stressed. Chromium is a mineral that is critical for helping us to regulate our blood sugar. It helps our cells to become more sensitive to insulin.  Insulin resistance also known as pre-diabetes is a condition that affects many people living in western countries, whilst Chromium helps us bring insulin levels back into balance, re-sensitizing  our cells to insulin. Our bodies can then utilise glucose (blood sugar) as fuel.  Without balanced blood sugar, our brain function, muscle function and overall well being is affected. Iron is assists with mineral oxygenation of the blood, coupled with the magnesium and therobromine it acts as a vasodilator (vein relaxant). When veins are relaxed, the body better absorbs nutrients and transports oxygen throughout the body.   Raw Cacao is a crucial ingredient of Tonic Core - as it acts as the delivery system & assists in nutrient absorption - assisting with energy production & recovery after training.

Maca

Maca is a key component of Tonic Core.  It comes from the Peruvian Andes, and has been eaten as a staple food in this region for thousands of years.  Maca is a rich source of protein, minerals, plant sterols and di-indol methane.  The adaptogenic properties of Maca are one of the reasons it makes such a great addition to our diet. The various phyto nutrients and alkaloids present are said to help balance our master glands.  It is through this balance that we are able to normalise our hormonal function. Having balanced hormones is critical to optimal health because it will help us to build lean muscle mass, maintain our mood, and feel our best.  For more information about the individual benefits of Maca please read our earlier post on the benefits of Maca.

Mesquite

Mesquite is dense in Zinc, Calcium, Lystine & is also a source of fibre.  By combining the calcium in mesquite with the magnesium in cacao, we are fuelling the body to create strong bones.  The calcium is easily utalised by the body, as it is in wholefood form.  The combination of calcium & magnesium will also give you a competative edge with strength training as the muscles ability to relax & contract is heightened.  Zinc & Lystine assist with immune system function, ensuring the immune system is able to endure the stress placed upon it during strenuous cardiovascular or strength training.  Zinc & Lystine also fuel enzymes/muscle building proteins within the body.  Lystine also assists with calcium absorption.

The Tonic Core program has been designed to work as a foundation for any lifestyle, allowing you to easily incorporate nutrient dense wholefoods in an exciting and fun way.  Start to feel great, increase your energy, mental & physical well-being with Tonic Core.

Protein: The Facts

Over 10,000 different proteins make us who we are; our muscles, hair, bones, skin & tissues are all made up of protein.  Hormones & the enzymes that power many chemical reactions in the body are also made up of proteins.  Our bodies are constantly using up proteins to build and grow, with this in mind, it is imperative that we continually replace this protein.
Amino acids provide the raw materials or building blocks for protein development and growth.  By following genetic instructions the body strings together amino acids.  The body doesn't store amino acids, as it does with carbohydrates & fats, and subsequently needs a regular supply of amino acids to create new proteins.  Unfortunately, not all amino acid chains can be manufactured by the body, so it is important to turn to sources of protein to be able to include these amino acids in our diet.
A lack of protein in the body can lead to growth failure, loss of muscle mass, decreased immunity as well as weakening of the heart and respiratory system.


All Protein Isn't The Same
Some of the protein we eat contains all the amino acids needed to build new proteins. This kind is called complete protein. Animal sources of protein tend to be complete. Bee Pollen is a great source of complete protein. Other protein sources lack one or more "essential" amino acids—that is, amino acids that the body can't make from scratch or create by modifying another amino acid. Called incomplete proteins, these usually come from fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts. To get all the amino acids needed to make new protein—and thus to keep the body's systems in good shape—people who don't eat meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products should eat a variety of protein-containing foods each day.

What Are You Consuming With Your Protein? - The Protein Package

It's important to pay attention to what comes along with the protein in your food choices. Vegetable sources of protein, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains offer healthy fiber, vitamins, and minerals.  Whilst nuts, oily fish & organic grass fed meats are a great source of fats.  

One of our readers, Natalia posted the following question - "I was wondering, how good for you is whey protein? It's very processed and being an animal protein, is it not acid forming in the body? Let me know your thoughts"
"According to Dr. Jonny Bowden who is a certified nutritionist and author of the best selling “Living The Low Carb Life"

"Whey protein is my favorite kind of protein powder. Not only is it extremely high quality, bioavailable protein, but also it supports the immune system by providing the body with the building blocks for glutathione, arguably the body’s most important antioxidant. And studies indicate that whey protein may boost weight-loss efforts. According to one French study, consuming whey before exercise supports fat burning and may help with gaining or maintaining lean body mass."

Tonic Superfoods Whey Protein Isolate is of the highest quality proteins on the market, it is sourced from New Zealand from cows that feed on chemical free grass pasture and is carefully processed at low temperature to avoid denaturing it. By consuming Tonic SUPERFOODS Organic Whey Protein Isolate you are consuming both amino & branch chain amino acids, which will aid in nitrogen retention, whilst the glutathoine in our Whey Protein helps to boost the immune system, contains antioxidant properties, whilst promoting muscle restoration & growth. Lots of the trainers and health professionals that Tonic work with rave about how good they find our whey protein!

In the Book "The Metabolic Typing Diet " by William Wolcott, the author points out how we all differ biochemically and while one food can be acid forming for one person it can have the opposite affect (alkaline) on another person.
Our suggestion to you, Natalia, would be to try it out and listen carefully to how your body feels a couple of hours after consuming the whey protein. We also would advice you to rotate your proteins around as any food if consumed too often may lead to an allergy or sensitivity.

Tonic has been doing lots of research into plant based proteins for those who don't like to consume animal protein or for those who would like to rotate their protein sources and we have found a brand that comes highly recommended by some of the leading health and wellbeing experts in the world and it is " Sun Warrior Protein".

Why has Tonic chosen Sun Warrior Protein?

Sun Warrior Protein is made with 80% protein, and is the highest non soy, raw, whole grain, vegan protein available.  Compared to many vegetable proteins, Sun Warrior possesses a smooth texture and is not chalky in taste.  Sun Warrior protein is hypo allergenic, with a perfectly balanced amino acid profile, possessing 9 essential amino acids, as well as other non-essential amino acids.  What makes Sun Warrior even more versatile is its digestibility, possessing 98.2% digestion efficiency, making it easily assimilated by infants, the elderly and adults, as well it is naturally rich in Vitamins and Minerals and contains high amounts of Antioxidants, Tocopherols, Tocotrienols and other essential nutrients — such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorous, iron and potassium.

Try Sun Warrior Protein - Recommended by Tonic Superfoods!

Simple Rules for Protein Consumption:

• Ensure you are getting a good mixture of different proteins & rotate your protein sources
• Balance your carbohydrate & protein consumption
• Pay attention to what you are consuming with your protein (The protein package)
• Eat soy in moderation - Avoid it if possible!

DON’T STRESS: SUPERFOODS’ RESCUE REMEDY!

By Bonnie Pockley

Stress is one of the broad reaching ailments of society today. While everyday stress affects most of us, we often pass it off as ‘normal’ and march on with the overload of activity and strain in our lives. Stress comes from many different areas of our lives. Emotional stress, environmental stress and physical stress all impact the way we function and overtime, have a negative impact on our physical and mental condition. Stress contributes to disease and illness so much so that its dangers has become of more and more concern to health practitioners.

Cortisol is a hormone released when the body is stressed. It is often simply known as the ‘stress hormone’. Small levels of cortisol are released into the bloodstream before the body relaxes and resets to its normal state of homeostasis. While cortisol is a normal and healthy part of the body’s stress response, chronic stress produces high and unhealthy levels of the cortisol hormone.

Effects of high and prolonged levels of cortisol in the body:

· Elevates blood sugar levels

· Increases abdominal fat

· Decreases bone density

· Suppresses thyroid function

· Impairs cognitive function

· Lowers immunity

How to manage Cortisol levels:

In order to truly manage cortisol levels you need to reduce stress. This is not the easiest thing to do once we enter the vicious cycle of stress compounding and promoting more stress and high cortisol levels compounding and promoting higher cortisol levels! There are, however, ways of supporting the sympathetic nervous system and our adrenals to balance out raised hormonal levels and redress the negative symptoms associated with elevated stress-released cortisol. TONICSUPERFOODS Maca is one such product. Maca, as regular readers would know, is not only an adaptogenic root vegetable but an easily absorbed bioavailable product that works specifically on the endocrine and central nervous systems. Its adaptogenic properties mean that Maca increases cortisol levels if they are underactive and decreases cortisol levels when they are overactive. As most of us live a modern fast paced lifestyle of high stress, most of us have elevated cortisol levels that need to be addressed.

Vitamin B and stress management:

A Vitamin B complex is also extremely important in stress management. Stress affects most functions of the body including metabolism and detoxification. When we ‘stress’ our body leeches high levels of mineral and uses up vitamin stores to manage excess hormone levels that need to be balanced, metabolised and excreted. The more prolonged stress is, the more impaired these processes are. As Vitamin B is a water-soluble vitamin that isn’t produced by the body and isn’t stored, it must be continuously replenished. Furthermore, Vitamin B is deficient in most diets.

B-Vitamins are commonly associated with and commonly used to treat:

· Stress

· Nervousness

· Anxiety

· Cardiovascular system health

· Poor energy levels

· Skin, Hair and Nails

· Our immune system

Not all vitamin B supplements are the same. The beauty of TONICSUPEFOODS BEE POLLEN is that unlike supplements, Bee Pollen is a food substance that is easily absorbed, high in protein and contains high levels of B vitamins as well as essential amino acids!

Stress and dehydration:

Dehydration is caused by stress as well as causing stress in and of itself. When we are stressed our body filter systems work over-time to process excess levels of hormones. The body requires a larger amount of fluid to do this and insufficient levels of water means the body leeches water from our cells. As our cells become dehydrated, our bodily systems are taxed and rendered less effective.

Staying hydrated is imperative for health as well as for lowering and managing stress.  Megahydrate is one of the best products we could find on the market. Not only does it allow your body to absorb and utilize fluid faster and more effectively but it also alkalises your blood. Megahydrate also gives you a much needed dose of hydrogen ions that protect cell integrity and prevent early and avoidable signs of aging.

Have you had your hydrogen today?

Today's post comes from Vitality Plus, where they share with us the benefits of MegaHydrate®.

Free radicals are unstable molecules created by poor diet, stress, pesticides, pollution, electronic devices and, even naturally, by the normal biological processes of the body. Free radicals attach themselves to a stable molecule within the body and steal its electron. After the stable molecule loses its electron, it becomes a free radical. This continuous chain reaction results in cellular damage to the body, allowing disease and premature degeneration to take place.

The proliferation of free radicals has been linked to an absolute multitude of ill health conditions. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals by donating one of their own electrons. Of course, once the antioxidant donates its electron, it becomes a weaker free radical itself, in search of another electron.

What your body needs is a Super Antioxidant. Now, a major scientific break discovery has made just such an antioxidant available, providing a quantum leap in health protection.

What is Zeta Potential?

MegaHydrate contains the active ingredient Silica Hydride, a compound known to positively affect the "zeta potential" of blood cells. Zeta potential (x) is the electric potential, or charge, that exists in a hydrated particle and the surrounding solution. Zeta potential is an important and useful indicator that this charge can be used to predict and control the stability of colloidal suspensions. The greater the zeta potential, the more likely the suspension will be stable because the charged particles repel one another and thus overcome the natural tendency to aggregate. Zeta potential is an electrical charge that describes how far apart cells are. Greater zeta potential indicates more space between cells.

Increased zeta potential has many positive health benefits. More zeta potential means more surface area for cells. Toxins, viral matter, fungi, and bacteria trapped between cells can be expunged more readily. More importantly, water enters cells more easily. Water is arguably the most vital component of anti-aging, life extension, and the removal of free radicals and waste.†

The Water We Drink

The water we drink differs substantially from the water that surrounds our cells and tissue. Tap water has a surface tension of approx. 73 dynes. The water around our cells has a surface tension of approx. 45 dynes. It is necessary, therefore, that the body reduce the surface tension of water we consume in order for nutrients to pass through cell walls, and for toxins to pass out of the cells. To do this the body requires continually replenished levels of negatively-charged hydrogen ions.

As was mentioned earlier, in addition to hydration, MegaHydrate is the most powerful known antioxidant food. Since it is an "pure" antioxidant that does not turn into a free radical itself. Taken daily, MegaHydrate delivers far more Hydrogen ions than by eating kilograms of raw fruits and vegetables or drinking gallons of "healing waters", also known as "glacial milk."

What is Glacial Milk?

It was reported in Hunza, West Pakistan, that Hunzukuts enjoyed outstandingly excellent health and amazing longevity. Although some have questioned the details and accuracy of the records of Hunza longevity, others have tended to support the claims that individuals had exceptional health and were indeed long-lived.

A team of cardiologists observed and reported that the heart health of the centenarians in this area was exceptionally good and may have been a factor of delayed aging. The good health and longevity was attributed in significant part to the use of glacial milk for irrigation of crops and for drinking. Glacial streams throughout the world are abundant in amorphous silicate minerals, many of which are in the nanoparticle (<1 µ) size range.

For over three decades, Dr. Patrick Flanagan studied the remote regions of the world where these people live healthy active lives past the age of 100 years. While the diets in these regions differed dramatically, Dr. Flanagan discovered the amazing fact that the drinking water in these regions was almost identical and came from frozen glaciers that had melted. This water, known in some circles as "glacial milk," displays some very distinct physical differences from the water that most of the civilized world is drinking.

The surface tension of glacial milk is much lower. This means that the water can be absorbed directly into the cells of the body with much greater ease facilitating hydration and nutrient uptake. It also means that waste materials can be removed from the cells more easily by the same life-giving water. Dr. Flanagan also discovered that glacial milk, or "life water", had very distinct physical properties of viscosity, heat, and energy potential.

After decades of laboratory and field research and study, Dr. Flanagan uncovered what may be the most important discovery about the true nature of hydration. He discovered why the waters are so different and can hydrate the human cell so effectively where people of these remote regions live well past 100 years of age.

How does this discovery help you?

In an effort to develop a concentrated and powerful antioxidant, Dr Patrick Flanagan, looked at all the chemical elements and realised that the smallest, but most abundant, element in the universe, hydrogen, would provide the most concentrated source of antioxidant power.

If you're supplementing antioxidants to your diet, you probably consume Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, Selenium and OPC's from grape seed or pine park. These antioxidant compounds consist of large complex molecules, but no matter how large they are, they each give up only one electron.

Each capsule of MegaHydrate contains hydrogen-enhanced silicate mineral, a compound of silica and hydrogen atoms modified to contain a loosely-bound extra electron. The extra electron is freely given to neutralise free radicals. Because hydrogen is the smallest known element, MegaHydrate can provide thousands of these electrons in each calsule. It is the only known form of antioxidant that does not become a free radical in the process of losing an electron.

Benefits to your body

MegaHydrate® raises the alkalinity of the extracellular fluid which surrounds your cells. An alkaline, versus acidic, environment is believed to be one of the major dererrents to tissue damage, aging and the growth of disease organisms. MegaHydrate® challenges the symptoms of dehydration and minimizes the process of aging.

Humans need Hydrogen to survive. Hydrogen is the key to long life and anti-aging. However, due to mass food production, mineral deficient soil, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processing of foods, chemical preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, people do not get enough Hydrogen ions daily.Body cells become damaged, hydration levels decrease and cells age.

In a state of dehydration, body cells cannot assimilate nutrients, remove waste and relieve pain. This is no more apparent than can be seen with conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. Dehydration also occurs as a side effect of caffeine, alchohol and stimulants. MegaHydrate also helps fight the negative effects of alcohol, stress, and free radicals as part of aging.

How Do We Normally Get Hydrogen in Our Diet?

When plants absorb sunlight, they store negatively-charged Hydrogen ions through the process of photosynthesis. When you eat unprocessed plants (RAW FRUITS AND VEGETABLES), your body's cells utilise the nutrients in those plants and, perhaps more importantly, the electrical charge of the Hydrogen ions in those plants. When your body burns Hydrogen and Oxygen, it generates the energy you need for every single process of life.

MegaHydrate® is a dietary supplement that is considered a food grade supplement rich in antioxidants by the FDA. Antioxidant foods like MegaHydrate help defy the aging process. It is safe, having been tested and shown to have no known side effects.
