Camel Milk for Health

Camelicious is 100% pure, premium camel milk powder made from whole camel milk.

This milk comes from grass fed camels and is 100% natural containing no hormones or antibiotics and is non-GMO and gluten-free.

Camelicious is flash pasteurized, a state-of-the-art technology which heats the milk enough to destroy the harmful bacteria while maintaining the nutritional properties. Flash pasteurized milk is comparable to raw milk but without the concerns of illness.

The milk is gently dried without heat or freezing to maintain the natural color, flavor, and consistency of fresh milk.

The powder is immediately packed into single serve foil packets which maintain its fresh, nutritious quality so you receive the maximum benefit from each glass of milk.

Simply mix Camelicious with water or a favorite cool or room temperature beverage in a glass, or in a shaker cup with a metal ball (not plastic ball). Some people drink Camelicious as a glass of milk and some add the powder to a smoothie. For kids, or adults, adding some cacao powder makes a healthy chocolate milk drink.

Camelicious USA is one of the most economical sources of camel milk powder in the US.

March is National Nutrition Month – Why Nutrition?

During this month, everyone is invited to learn about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating habits and physical activity habits.

What is Nutrition? Nutrition is the sum of the processes by which a body takes in and uses food to support its life.

Nutritious diets play a key role in helping individuals stay healthy throughout their lives.

But what is a nutritious diet? I’m sure you’ve heard someone say “eat a balanced diet”. But what does that mean?

A balanced diet is getting the essential nutrients that your body needs. This means eating whole foods.

Why is it So Hard to Stop Eating Sugar?

In her article “13 Ways to Fight Sugar Cravings”, Wendy C. Fries asks, “Does that morning Danish pastry leave you craving another treat 2 hours later? Do you grab a candy bar to cope with your afternoon slump -- and then reach for a cola to get out of your post-slump slump?

“If you’ve found that munching sugary snacks just makes you crave more of them, you’re not alone. Eating lots of simple carbohydrates -- without the backup of proteins or fats -- can quickly satisfy hunger and give your body a short-term energy boost. But they almost as quickly leave you famished again and wanting more."

Why Do We Crave Sugar?

“There are many reasons why we go for sweet things.

“That appetite may be hardwired. "Sweet is the first taste humans prefer from birth," says Christine Gerbstadt, MD. Carbohydrates stimulate the release of the feel-good brain chemical serotonin. Sugar is a carbohydrate, but carbohydrates come in other forms, too, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which have fiber and nutrients your body needs.

“Sweets just taste good, too. And that preference gets reinforced when you reward yourself with sweet treats, which can make you crave it even more. With all that going for it, why wouldn’t we crave sugar?

“The problem comes not when we indulge in a sweet treat now and then, but when we overdo it. That’s easy to do when sugar is added to many processed foods, including breads, yogurt, juices, and sauces. And Americans do overeat it, averaging 17 teaspoons of added sugars per day, according to the American Heart Association, which recommends limiting added sugars to about 6 teaspoons per day for women and 9 for men.”

All that excess sugar has hidden repercussions.

What happens to all that excess sugar?

As food is eaten, digestion breaks food down into simple glucose molecules which circulate in the blood to the cells where it can be utilized.

Glucose, or “blood sugar,” is a simple sugar which functions as the body’s fuel in order to produce energy and heat.

Glucose cannot penetrate the cell wall unless it is attached to molecules of insulin.

This is where insulin “unlocks” your cell walls so the glucose can enter.

Insulin is secreted by the pancreas. Insulin’s job then, is to deliver the blood sugar into the cells.

As we eat more sugar and carbohydrates, our body works harder and harder and eventually may not be able to keep up with the overload of sugar.

Continual excessive sugar intake means insulin is being pumped into the blood continually.

Over time, the cells become resistant to the normal amount of insulin and don’t utilize the sugar.

The body’s response to this is to create even more insulin.

So, over time there’s more sugar and more insulin in the blood while the cells continue being resistant to utilizing the substance they need to produce energy.

The excessive sugar in the bloodstream then turns into fat, cholesterol and triglycerides.

The occasional indulgence may be okay, but a constant carbohydrate and sugar laden diet is not.

The health repercussions of this insulin resistance can be hidden but devastating. Insulin resistance can develop into Type 2 Diabetes and result in cardiovascular problems.

What can you do?

Camel milk is packed with vitamins and minerals. One of the many nutritional benefits of camel milk is that it contains an insulin-like protein that can help better manage the sugar in the body.
