MGM Supplement: Healthy Eating

Healthy Eating … Breaking the Sugar Habit
One of the biggest challenges of eating healthy is removing simple carbohydrates and sugars and empty-calorie snacks from our diet . Sweets and snacks , chips and pasta, crackers and pretzels, potatoes and rice, and soda pop and juices… are everywhere…
These foods are high-glycemic . That means they spike your blood sugar ..only to see it plummet an hour or so later thus creating fluctuating blood sugars that lead to cravings and bingeing and no room for healthy choices . Such cravings are not about will power . They are about metabolic imbalance that creates cravings for fast sugar and carbohydrate snacks.
The following are ways many people have successfully kicked that sugar habit and enjoyed good healthy food again.

Ideal Diet
The ideal diet emphasizes fresh raw vegetables, some fresh fruit and fish and poultry.
· Breakfast –Include high protein foods ..
o eggs, turkey sausages, Swiss oatmeal ( rolled oats softened overnight in milk or plain yogurt and fresh fruit.. blueberries, strawberries, etc and almonds)
o or one of the MGM's Protein shakes - Soy Protein, Simple shakes, Mealshakes

Info on Hashimoto Thyroidosis

Hashimoto's Thyroidosis is an inflammation (itis) of the Thyroid gland caused by a virus. It is my theory (others agree) that there is only one disease that is caused by malfunctioning cells.

Malfunctioning cells usually show up first where there may be genetic weaknesses within the body. There are two causes of disease: 1) malnutrition-- and 2) exposure to toxins. Hashimoto's attacks the thyroid gland (and other parts of the body as well)--the damage done to the function of the gland is temporary--unless the gland does not get the super nutrition the body needs to suppress the virus.

Doctors tend to quickly respond to blood tests that are abnormal by putting someone on synthroidor one of the other brands of thyroid medication. The problem with that is that the gland cannot recover on its own--if the Pituitary gland does not need to make Thyroid stimulating hormone anymore because the bloodstream has plenty of Thyroid Hormone T4, it stops making it almost completely. T4 is what is in Synthroid--the the body must break down T4 into T3 (triiodothyronine), theactive thyroid hormone.

Viruses do their damage and may simply lie dormant in the body until the immune system weakens again--and come back even some where else in the body to attack. MGM products, including bifda, Premium Garlic, interferon, B, C, Zinc,Vit* Le* and Protein and others, can help the immune system work optimally so that they body has plenty of food to feed the cells of the thyroid gland, and so that the immune system can always suppress a further attack on the body(possibly in the form of fibromyalgia) later. If there is a chance that the gland can become normal again, why not let it--give it a month or two with the supplements and see if the gland can recover.

Ask the doctor for his/her help in trying another tactic. Some times drugs are not the answer--but they sure are easy to prescribe.

MGM Supplement: Understanding Digestive Enzymes

Is Gas & Bloating a Problem for YOU?

First of all, one must understand that Gas & Bloating can be caused by several different problems, the four most common being ……

1. A Sluggish Bowel – Bowels should operate by the "Bulk-in = Bulk-out" principle. If this is not happening, fecal matter is sitting in the bowel and fermenting, which causes gas & bloating ….. If this is the case, make sure your diet contains lots of water and fibre. MGM Herbal Laxitive is recommended

2. Lack of Intestinal Microflora – From the bottom of the stomach through to the rectum (which is a 26 foot muscular tube) we need 3 to 5 pounds of intestinal microflora. If there
is a deficiency of microflora, you WILL have gas and bloating …. If this is the case, use MGM Bifda
3. Food Allergies – if you are allergic to foods, a common symptom of food allergies, is gas and bloating.….. If this is the case, avoid eating those foods.

4. Lack of Digestive Enzymes – As the body ages, many people lose the ability to produce enough of the needed enzymes to digest fats, sugars, proteins or complex carbohydrates. This causes uncomfortable gastrointestinal distress. including gas & bloating ….. If this is the case, use MGM EZ-Gest. EZ-Gest is a comprehensive digestive enzyme product that contains five different digestive enzymes:

a. Lactase Enzyme: Breaks down lactose, or milk sugar, found in dairy products
b. Alpha d-galactosidase: Breaks down complex sugars in gas-producing vegetables such as beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.
c. Protease: breaks down protein in meats and legumes
d. Amylase: breaks down starchy carbohydrates in foods such as bread, pasta, potatoes
e. Lipase: breaks down fats in food

Just ONE little EZ-Gest capsule offers relief after meals that cause digestive discomfort. It is plant-based and acid-resistant, to survive breakdown by stomach acid.
