How Much Should You Exercise and When?
Today, the one thing that everyone agrees on is that exercise improves health and can help reverse many medical conditions. Even people who cannot exercise for long periods due to being out of shape or busy lifestyles can now benefit from recent research regarding exercise.
Recent studies show that several, short periods of exercise after eating is more effective than continuous exercise for lowering fat and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream. This new research supports multiple 10-minute periods of exercise that add up to at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week, as a way to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Additionally, if you also want to lose excess weight and/or lower blood sugar levels, the best time to do your exercise time is before breakfast, before lunch and before dinner.
A good type of exercise to start with if you have not been exercising or are out of shape is to begin by just walking. Then as you get accustomed to the walking you can increase your pace, or if you wish, begin a more vigorous exercise regimen.
Take those walks and in one week you will start to feel the difference! In two weeks you’ll be amazed!

Heartburn* - A Simple Fix!
*Heartburn
(sometimes called acid indigestion or acid reflux) is a burning
sensation, usually centered in the middle of the chest near or above the
breastbone (the bone in the center of the chest).
If you find you are experiencing heartburn, there may be a remedy
that is as simple as changing what foods you eat together at the same
meal.
Another
Way to Lower Cholesterol*
*Cholesterol
is a vital material produced daily by your liver and is part of every
cell wall in your body. It is also found in various foods.
Just
to give an example of the disease mongering, the “problem” of
elevated cholesterol levels has been blown way out of proportion by the
drug companies, in an attempt to scare the public into buying a
pharmaceutical drug “solution”. The drugs being pushed on the
American public as the solution to lowering cholesterol levels are a
group of man-made chemicals called “statin drugs,” that do not
belong in the body, and have really bad side effects.
Ronald
Rosedale, M.D. is one of the most highly regarded diabetic specialists
in the
“Patient
B is a 42-year-old man who was referred by patient A. He had a
triglyceride level of 2200, a cholesterol level of 950 and was on
maximum doses of all his medications. He was not fat at all; he was
fairly thin.”
“This
man was told that he had ‘familial hyperlipidema’[Definition: very
high cholesterol levels that run in the family, from one generation to
the next.], and that he had better get his personal and business
matters in order, because if that was what his lipids [Definition: blood
fat levels.] were despite the best medications with the highest
doses, he was in trouble.”
“Whenever
I see a patient on any of those medications, they're off the very first
visit. They have no place in medicine. He was taken off the
medications and in six weeks his lipid levels, both his triglycerides
and his cholesterol, were hovering around 220. After six more weeks,
they were both under 200, off of the medications. As I said earlier,
they have no place in medicine.”
Some
doctors see through the false solutions created by the pharmaceutical
companies and are not afraid to speak out about them.
“The
Journal of the American Academy of Family Physicians, which
usually takes a very cautious approach regarding natural supplements,
did not hesitate to publish a study of red yeast rice for reducing
cholesterol.”
“Red
yeast rice has been used in
“Red
yeast rice does not seem to cause the typical side effects – muscle
pain, abdominal discomfort, liver irritation – that commonly occur
with statins.”

Vitamin C - The Missing Vitamin
Did you know that there are only 3 mammals on planet earth that have bodies that do not manufacture their own vitamin C? These are the guinea pig, the rhesus monkey, and humans.
The way all three must get the vitamin C they need is through their diets and/or supplementation.
Your Eyes and Nerves:
Sorbitol (a form of sugar) travels to certain parts of the body where it builds up. These parts of the body are the lens of the eye where it forms a white milky film called cataracts, and the siatic nerve (the big nerve that runs down your leg) where it causes nerve damage (nerve pain).
Studies have shown that taking 2,000 mg a day of vitamin C reduces the production of sorbitol and strips sorbitol out of the body.
Cataracts:
Another study presented at the Nuffield College of Ophthalmology [Definition: the branch of medicine concerned with the eye and its diseases] of Oxford University, England, showed that vitamin C actually slowed and stopped the development of cataracts, and how real vitamin C was more effective than synthetic ascorbic acid.
High Blood Pressure:
Regarding high blood pressure, taking vitamin C is a must! A study done by scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine and the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, showed that people with high blood pressure had their blood pressure levels fall by an average of 9.1 percent by taking 500 mg of vitamin C each day for a month.
Life Span:
A 10-year study from UCLA showed that in a population of more than 11,000 US adults aged 25-74, men who took 800 mg of vitamin C daily lived about six years longer than men who took only 60 mg of vitamin C daily. The larger vitamin C intake was likewise associated with greater longevity in women. Higher vitamin C intake reduced cardiovascular deaths by 42 percent in men and 25 percent in women.
Ascorbic Acid (which is NOT vitamin C):
There is a huge difference between WSN Vitamin C and ascorbic acid.
The more ascorbic acid you take the less your body absorbs. An intake of less than 20 mg has a 98 percent absorption rate. By the time you take 1000 mg to 1500 mg, the absorption has dropped to 50 percent. In amounts over 12 grams, the absorption of ascorbic acid drops to only 16 percent.
WSN Vitamin C:
WSN Vitamin C is 100 percent Vitamin C which has no ascorbic acid and the body knows how to absorb and use it.
In fact, comparison studies showed that after 12 hours there remained 25 times more
Food form Vitamin C in the blood stream than ascorbic acid.
Three WSN Vitamin C tablets contain almost as much vitamin C as a half-gallon of fresh squeezed orange juice! The problem for people who want real vitamin C is that glass for glass, orange juice contains more sugar than Coca-Cola!
A 90-tablet bottle (30 day supply) is 24.70. Order two or three bottles and save on the shipping.
