XOOMA WORLDWIDE·WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 2017

What IS Xooma’s new Probiotix?

Probiotix supports ideal levels of good gut bacteria for a healthy digestive system and strong immune system.
Xooma’s Probiotix is a multiple strain probiotic formula for digestive and immune support.
This exclusive formula contains 8 key clinically researched strains.

30 Billion What?

Probiotix contains 30 billion CFUs.
CFUs are Colony Forming Units - what you want for good or ‘friendly’ bacteria.

Probiotix contains probiotic AND prebiotic fiber.

Probiotics help move food through your gut, and they even help with problems in other parts of the body.
Prebiotics are important because they increase the growth of beneficial bacteria in our intestinal tract, and not the bad bacteria.

Xooma’s commitment to using quality and clinically researched ingredients.

This formula contains a premier trademarked prebiotic fiber complex to increase the amount of ‘friendly flora’ within your digestive tract.
Probiotix contains the right dosage amount of each probiotic strain to produce the kind of results you can really feel.

Why do I need to take one more supplement?

Did you know that 70-80% of your immune system is located in your gut?

The importance of probiotics is tied to your digestive health and immune support systems.

Did you know that 70-80% of your immune system is located in your gut?
Here are some interesting statistics:

70-80% of your immune system is located in your gut.
90% of your serotonin (responsible for appetite, mood, sleep and relaxation) is synthesized in your gut.
You have more bacteria (approximately 100 trillion microorganisms) in your gut than you have cells in your body!

About the suggested dosage.

You only need to take ONE capsule of Probiotix each day, and even better news is Probiotix doesn’t need to be refrigerated, making it even more convenient.

A wide variety of adverse health issues can be linked to an unhealthy balance of gut balance.

There are approximately 40 diseases that have been linked to bacterial imbalance in the body, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
An imbalance of good bacteria can affect the following areas: gastrointestinal, nutritional deficiencies, skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, hormonal problems and more.

In Search of the Optimal Liquid Solution

We all know that today’s world is an unhealthy one. Our diets are poor, we stress too much, and we don’t get sufficient exercise. But there’s another huge problem that’s compromising our health. We don’t drink enough water, which leads to a dehydrated, acidic state in the body and ultimately to a deteriorating state of health. That’s right. We’re constantly dehydrated, and the water we do drink is full of contaminants and pollutants.
Of course, bottled water is very popular. And it’s certainly better than standard tap water. But it’s still just plain water—or what many people refer to as “dead” water.

Dehydration, Acidic State Contribute to Major Health Concerns

Plain tap water is often referred to as "dead" water.

There’s good news. Hydration is now being revolutionized with a superior-quality, mineral-rich alkaline water. With such a product, you’re receiving so much more than just plain water or a few nutrients. This product addresses the core problem of most of today’s health woes. Because of our poor diets, chronically high stress levels and the fact that we are dehydrated, our bodies are in an acidic state most of the time. Science has clearly shown that our bodies must maintain an alkaline state to be healthy. If our cells are acidic in their pH, then our tissues, organs and entire body will also be in poor health. Sick, acidic cells lead to increase in inflammation, sluggishness, low energy and depleted vibrancy. An acidic, imbalanced pH is also the foundation for many of today’s top health concerns from obesity to heart disease to diabetes. It’s also important to point out that the other beverages that we commonly consume contribute to the problem. Coffee, diet sodas, energy drinks, and so-called “sports” drinks are hugely popular in today’s society. Unfortunately, they are major contributors to the problems linked to dehydration and acidity in the body. Instead of rehydrating the body and replenishing the cells with essential nutrients, they’re simply overloading the body with harsh stimulants, sugars and other chemicals that only make our cells sicker.

Before you drink another soda...

XOOMA WORLDWIDE·MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2016

The human body is designed to consist of at least 70% water. Unfortunately, many of today's popular drinks such as coffee and sodas are a major factor that contribute to dehydration and unhealthy acidic conditions within the body. Do you know how much water it takes to neutralize the acid in just one soda?

It can take up to 30 glasses of purified water to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. soda. Each time you choose to drink an acidic beverage, your body uses its own mineral buffers to protect you from these dangerous acids and maintain your healthy blood pH level of 7.35-7.45.

It's clear that while consuming water is important, consuming purified water is vital. And while bottled water does provide more purity, most brands of bottled water are still “acidic” to the body (because their pH readings fall below 7) and don't offer optimal hydration due to the lack of minerals and electrolytes. As a result, many health experts often refer to today's bottled waters as “dead water.” For example, reports are now surfacing about health problems from long-time consumers of distilled water – directly attributable to the lack of minerals in their water and in their body.

So the right answer is combining purified water with an X2O sachet, to create all the benefits of more energized, alkalized and mineralized water...which means more health benefits for you!

Ten Tips for Success for Xooma's 2016 Get Fit Weight Loss Challenge

12/24/2015

0 Comments

These "Ten Tips for Success" are a smart accompaniment to the Xooma's 2016 Get Fit Weight Loss Challenge. Focus on these tips and watch your life - and your body - transform!

Tip One: Stay Hydrated!
Drink more water. How many times have you heard this one? Consuming a sufficient amount of water is one of the most important things you can do for your body. Well, the amazing thing about X2O is that it makes it even easier for you to stay hydrated. So not only drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, but consuming a glass of water approximately 30 minutes before each meal can also make a huge difference.

Tip Two: Organic Foods
More than ever, it has become important to consume organic foods as much of the time as possible. Organic foods are free from unnecessary chemicals, preservatives, contaminants and other harmful substances (i.e. pesticides, herbicides and fungicides). Moreover, organic foods offer much more nutritional value for our bodies. When you can, choose organic. And look for opportunities to support your local organic farmers, and you may also have greater cost savings.

Tip Three: More Protein
Protein plays an important role in our diet, especially in combination with weight management programs where your desire is to increase muscle mass and reduce fat. Protein consumed with every meal - and after workouts - increases your level of alertness and helps to elevate your resting metabolic rate. Protein can also help reduce premature aging in the body - also increasing your metabolic rate. And a higher metabolic rate means you burn more calories not just during the day but around the clock! The MetaboWize Shake is an excellent choice for getting high quality protein into your body.

Tip Four: Stress Reduction
Whether you experience stress from mental and emotional causes or from physical causes, the impact on the body is the same. If you're trying to lose weight and get in shape, stress can actually cause the body to store more fat. So whether stress is actual or perceived, the impact is the same. That means you will aid your progress by engaging in stress reducing activities, including meditation, yoga, or regularly-scheduled relaxation every day. Take time for yourself - and your body and your health will benefit.

Tip Five: Restorative Sleep
Did you know. adequate amounts of sleep actually encourage weight loss. So in effect, regular sleep loss can prevent weight loss. Loss of sleep affects hormone levels, especially two that regulate hunger - increasing the appetite-regulating hormone while reducing the appetite-curbing hormone. So with a slower metabolism, you are actually burning calories at a slower rate. Ultimately it can lead to increased eating, that even includes cravings for sugary and starchy foods. Seems as though that full amount of sleep could actually work for you in your weight loss efforts! The MetaboWize PM Formula is designed to help you get this restorative sleep.

Tip Six: Regular Exercise
Exercise, movement, dance - pick one! Regular exercise, with a targeted approach while you're on the MetaboWize program, will increase your energy, increase your metabolism, and reduce your waistline. It's no surprise that studies show reductions in activity levels are strongly correlated with body fat increases, even when your caloric intake is significantly reduced. So incorporate a regular exercise routine into your life. And refer to the "Complete Fitness Workout" on page 15 of: MetaboWize: Turn Your Body into a 24-hour a day Fat Burning Machine.

Tip Seven: Increasing Fiber Intake
Eat more fiber! There are lots of benefits to increased fiber intake, creating a happy and healthy digestive system - all aiding your efforts in encouraging weight loss and healthier bodies. Dietary fiber contributes to the reduction of excess body fat, high blood sugar, high cholesterol as well as eliminating excess toxins and waste from the body. Based on the FDA, 25 grams per day is a minimum requirement of fiber for adult women and up to 38 grams for adult men. However, most people may not consume even half this amount. So add some good sources of fiber to your diet. The MetaboWize shake is an excellent source of high quality fiber.

Tip Eight: Powerful Benefits of Berries
Berries contain powerful antioxidants that help fight free radicals in our body. What does that mean? Antioxidants have innumerable benefits, including protecting our genetic structures as well as helping to keep our blood vessels flexible, reducing inflammation, helping stop cancer from forming and helping the body burn more fat. Raspberries contain a group of phytonutrients called ketones that can enhance your metabolism. All berries are beneficial: blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. So add some healthy variety to your life by throwing berries into the mix!

Tip Nine: Manage Your Blood Sugar
MetaboWize has another unique benefit in that it plays a significant role in helping to balance blood sugar levels. Excess sugar - known as insulin in the body - can block the body from using fat for energy. Even after removing processed sugars from your diet, there are many other foods that can still greatly affect insulin levels. Grains and sugars, some fruits, fruit juices and even starchy foods like potatoes and pasta can cause wild fluctuations in insulin. Look for recommended food choices in this program, including those found in: MetaboWize: Turn Your Body into a 24-hour a day Fat Burning Machine.

Tip Ten: Believe and Succeed
First and foremost, choose to see this program as creating a healthier and long-term lifestyle, rather than a short-term diet regimen. The key to success on any program is to remember that you can and do have the ability - and the power - to create new, healthier habits. After several weeks, new habits become a way of being. And that new way of being is a healthier, more energized and transformed you! The MetaboWize™ System has worked for thousands of people and it will work for you, too!

Mineralization: What once was, is no longer.

Dr. Linus Pauling, the late, two-time Noble Prize winner, said, “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” Yet most people think about vitamins, amino acids, and essential fats before even giving a second thought to the essentiality of minerals.

Xtreme X2O contains calcium, magnesium, and over 70 trace minerals. These essential minerals become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and easily by your body.

Minerals play almost innumerable roles within your body. Aside from being a part of nearly every enzymatic process in the body, minerals are required for the manufacture of and are part of cellular membranes and connective tissue, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, and soft tissues such as veins, arteries, and brain tissue.

Some minerals also function as electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulfate, and phosphate), acting as buffering agents that protect the body’s tissue from excess acidity, which more often comes from our own poor lifestyle choices.

The problem is that too many of us may actually be deficient in numerous minerals due to the fact that these minerals just aren’t found in high enough quantities in the foods that we consume. Researchers from the University of Texas published a study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition that showed that the nutrients in fruits and vegetables (including minerals calcium, potassium, and iron) have diminished quite extensively since 1950.

We live in a time were technology has allowed us to tinker with the genetic components of fruits and vegetables and in the process create huge strawberries that deliver very little in taste to broccoli that contains half the calcium and magnesium of its older cousins. The following are just a few examples of how important the minerals found in Xtreme X2O really are.

Calcium: is considered the king of minerals because calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body (teeth and bones contain 99% of the body’s calcium). When one thinks of calcium they think of bone health; however, calcium is also essential to proper muscle contraction-especially where you heart is concerned, cellular communication through nerve transmission, and the release of hormones. Research shows that proper calcium intake (supplementation) can make a modest improvement in lowering your risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Magnesium: Research published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition shows that more than half (68%) of Americans are deficient in magnesium, because they don’t consume the government’s recommended daily intake of 420 mg. Aside from the fact that magnesium is required for calcium absorption and bone integrity, this mineral also helps maintain proper blood sugar levels and is required in more than 300 biochemical reactions-involved in every step the body uses to produce energy.
