    Loss of Collagen Got You Down? – Heliocare can Help!

    Collagen is a powerful protein. It’s credited with giving skin a plump, soft appearance, and it’s naturally occurring within our bodies. A loss of collagen contributes to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and an overall less youthful, vibrant look. Unfortunately, collagen starts to decrease in one’s 20s and that loss is expedited by free radical damage, and free radicals seem to be everywhere! In fact, even exercise can cause free radical production!

    Fortunately, there are simple steps that can aid in combating free radicals. Polypodium leucotomos (PLE), the antioxidant in the Heliocare Daily Antioxidant Formula aids in eliminating free radicals and the harsh effects they can have on your body; and reducing free radicals can help to maintain younger-looking, more resilient skin.* Only the PLE extract in Heliocare, which has been studied for over 25 years, has been extensively tested by leading American and international dermatologists.

    “Healing and nourishing our skin from the inside out is just as important as the topical products we place on the surface of our skin. I have dedicated a decade of my life to studying the link between nutrition and our skin.  The nutrients and supplements that we put into our bodies have a very profound impact upon the health of our skin. As I tell my patients, for lasting, sustainable skin health, it’s important to support your body every single day. I recommend taking Heliocare Antioxidant Formula daily.  It’s a simple and effective way to fortify your skin, and to help protect yourself from damaging free radicals, which strongly contribute to aging. Free radical sources can include infrared rays, blue light, and pollution.” advises NYC dermatologist, Whitney Bowe, MD.

    Heliocare Daily Use Antioxidant Formula is a clinically proven, dermatologist-recommended for 20+ years, natural dietary supplement with antioxidant effects on the skin; daily use promotes younger-looking skin

    Retail Price / Availability: $29.99 (60 capsules) Walgreens locations nationwide

    • Heliocare contains Fernblock® PLE Technology, an exclusive antioxidant extract
    • Fernblock® PLE Technology, the powerful antioxidant formula, is naturally derived from the extract of Polypodium leucotomos (PLE), a tropical fern native to Central and South America that has been used for centuries as a remedy for skin related conditions
    • Only the PLE extract in Heliocare has been extensively tested by leading American and international dermatologists; this proprietary extract has been studied for over 25 years
    • PLE, the antioxidant in this oral dietary supplement, aids in eliminating free radicals; a reduction of these free radicals helps to maintain younger-looking, more resilient skin
    • Free radicals are a part of our everyday life and can be generated by the environment, sun exposure, certain foods, excessive alcohol and even exercise
    • These improved Capsules are Vegan, Gluten-free, Free of artificial dyes

    In addition to adding Heliocare Daily Antioxidant Formula into your daily routine, consider these few tips to help decrease the production of free radicals:

    –        Dial down your stress level, take some time to meditate or practice gentle yoga

    –        Limit refined sugar, opt for antioxidant-rich foods like berries

    –        Choose fresh food over fried or processed options

    –        Cut back on excessive alcohol

    –        Don’t smoke!

    –        Prioritize quality sleep

    Hot Summer Beauty Trends: Anti-Aging Products and the Key to Producing More Collagen

    Everyone knows that collagen is the key to youthful, beautiful, glowing skin. But the question is how can we continually produce more as we age?

    Thankfully, consumers everywhere can now enjoy the benefits of skincare lasers to stimulate collagen in a safe, affordable, easy to use, at-home version! As you are working on the latest beauty trends for the summer, I wanted to introduce about the NIRA Skincare Laser.

    Holding 6 patents and FDA Cleared, the NIRA Skincare Laser (https://www.niraskin.com/) uses cutting-edge semiconductor technology and is the most advanced at-home skincare laser on the market. At less than half the price of other at-home lasers, the NIRA Skincare Laser has been clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and produce anti-aging results in just 2 minutes a day.

    The technology works by reversing the loss of collagen using a non-fractional and non-linear laser fluence to gently heat the dermis above the point of heat-shock protein (HSP) formation, and just below the pain threshold. This provides as much or more collagen production as the older fractional approach, while avoiding pain and erythema.

    Using it for only 2 minutes daily can produce dramatic results – NIRA Skincare Laser has plenty of case studies on their website from an independent clinical study if you’d like to learn more. The laser was recently featured in ABC’s Windy City Live segment as one of the hottest new Spring beauty trends if you want to check it out in more detail here!

    About NIRA
    NIRA is committed to improve the health and beauty of your skin. We believe everyone should have access to professional-level skincare at home and at an affordable price. NIRA brings you the same technology used by dermatologists, with an easy-to-use program that is enjoyable to use and guarantees results.  NIRA uses the science of light interacting with your skin biology to deliver natural and lasting results.

    Huel, the fastest growing nutrition brand in the world, announces massive sales/huge projected valuation

    Huel, Europe’s number one complete nutrition brand and the fastest growing nutrition brand in the world, today announced that the brand has sold over 50 million meals since its launch in 2015.  Huel, which is now available in the United States, is available in over 80 countries and is seeing a surge in popularity around the globe.

    Huel also announced that the company expects its valuation to top $1.25B within three years, demonstrating the booming interest in the company’s line of complete nutrition offerings. Huel sells a wide variety of Ready-to-drink meals and powders (including gluten-free options), making nutrition fast, easy and affordable.

    With year-over-year customer growth of over 150%, Huel has become one of the hottest and fastest-growing food products available anywhere in the world.  The company is selling over 50,000 meals per day and over 1.5 million meals per month.  Huel has been on an aggressive growth path in recent years and has introduced a variety of new products to meet increased consumer demand and changing consumer tastes.

    “We are proud that Huel is meeting the needs of health-conscious consumers around the globe and surpassing the 50 million meal milestone in only four years is a clear sign that we are tapping into a marketplace that was hungry for a product such as Huel,” said Julian Hearn, founder of Huel.  “We are committed to providing the most complete nutrition options to our customers, while keeping the products’ costs low and delivering meals that can be made fast, so that anyone can take Huel wherever they may go.”


    Huel has also recently expanded its staffs in the United States with offices in New York and LA, the UK and across Europe, as consumers increasingly recognize the need for healthy meal choices that fit their lifestyle.

    Key features of Huel include:

    –       It’s Easy: Huel is a perfectly balanced and nutritionally complete meal that you can prepare in under one minute
    –       Nutritionally Complete: Huel Powder is a nutritionally complete food that is high in protein and fiber, low in sugar and salt, rich in phytonutrients and contains all 27 essential vitamins and minerals
    –       Plant-based and Lactose/Soy/GMO-Free: It contains no lactose or any animal products, no soy and no GMO
    –       Affordable: Huel starts at just $2.35 for a 400-calorie nutritionally complete meal and bulk and subscription discounts can be enjoyed by anyone for as low as $1.95 per meal
    –       Huel is Food: Huel can replace any meal, such as when you need a fast breakfast on the go or want a nutritionally complete lunch while at work.  Huel can  even be a between-meal snack or a great meal if you are running late to a meeting. In this way it can be an add-on improvement to your diet to ensure you’re giving your body what it needs.
    –       Zero Food Waste: Because you only use the Huel that you need to consume, and because Huel powder has a 1-year shelf life, Huel produces zero food waste
    –       Vegan/environmentally Friendly: Being vegan and producing zero food waste means Huel has much less of an environmental impact on the planet than many other food products

    Huel will be introducing numerous new products in the coming months, as the company continues to evolve to meet the demands of it growing customer base.


    ABOUT HUEL
    Huel, which is created from a combination of the words Human and Fuel, is what we believe to be the future of food. The world faces serious challenges over its food production. The meat industry produces more greenhouse gases than all the planes and cars in the world combined. 30% of all food in the USA is wasted. And despite having enough to feed the world 1.5 times over, 800 million people don’t have enough food to eat.


    This is where Huel comes in. We help solve all these problems by offering an ethical, 100% vegan, nutritionally complete product with no waste and a year long shelf life. Huel also has a low GI and very low sugar content, with no added sugar, no genetically modified ingredients, soy, eggs, dairy meat and animal products at all. Yet despite all this, it still remains high in protein and fiber, with at least 100% of the Daily Values (DV) for all 27 essential vitamins and minerals.  More information is available at Huel.com

    Belli products were on my list of must-haves during my pregnancy. My Facebook memories popped up a photo of my first trimester today. I remember the throwing up and the acne! But Belli products were so helpful in reducing redness, and clearing pimples fast. The thing is, your body goes through so much and you are not allowed to use a lot of products when you are pregnant. So I didn’t know this could hurt the baby – all I knew was no sushi. I later found out that beauty products were on the list too! Along with soft-serve ice cream and soft drink machines for the fear of mold. By the way, each time I take a napkin and wipe the nozzle of those soda dispensers… 10/10 times there is mold.

     

    So even though I am postpartum now, I still drink from bottles.  BELLI is something I will continue using as I am nursing Niko now at 6 months post partum!
