Lazy, Lacking Willpower, Failure…?
If you have failed to stick to a diet or exercise routine, perhaps you have been telling yourself that you are lazy, or that you lack willpower. You may even be thinking you are a failure, or don’t care enough about your body to do something to change your current health situation.
If you are in this mindset, I want to hug you and say, “Stop beating yourself up!” Chances are you are simply putting the cart before the horse.
Couch Potato Syndrome
Consider this… will your car start without gasoline? No, of course not. Your body is a magnificent machine – and just like an automobile, it needs fuel to start, and keep running.
You know those days where you just feel incredible? Where your hear and feel you body telling you to get up and dance to a song on the radio, or you suddenly crave going a walk or run? Those are the days your body is fueled up! If you keep fuel in your body, it will want to exercise, rather than sit on the couch like a lump. To try to force the engine to start without fuel, is really quite futile! So you see – you aren’t lazy!
Diet Sabotage
Listen, I am not going to preach you out of enjoying some of the crazy foods on today’s market because it is a fact of life that we are always on the go. The truth is, there is some nutrition in everything we consume… even a Big Mac has some nutrition within it.
The important factor is to ensure your body is able to absorb and assimilate those nutrients as fuel. Without fuel, you not only will not start, but you will begin fade away. Your body depends on minerals, vitamins, and nutrients to survive.
If you aren’t absorbing them, you will typically find yourself with cravings, and unfortunately we crave what we give our body. If the mass amount of what you consume is lacking nutrients and is full of empty calories, full of bad fats or high in carbs – well, guess what it will crave? If you can’t stick to a diet, it is any wonder why? It isn’t your fault!! Your body is simply trying to tell you something and you just aren’t sure how to interpret the message.
Baby Steps, My Friend!!!
You don’t have to run out and join a gym and start eating salads 3 times a day to begin losing weight and feeling great. You simply need to make sure that your body is absorbing and assimilating the key nutrients it needs.
Taking vitamins is NOT the answer!
If your body is incapable of absorbing nutrients – you are simply wasting your money. Not only that, but the amount of energy it takes your body to breakdown typical vitamin supplements is more than you are going to receive from them. If you take vitamins and find yourself still tired – or more tired, this is why!
The “Missing Link” in Your Nutrition
There is something very critical to your body that you need in order to assimilate nutrition… bacteria. And not just any bacteria, it must be healthy bacteria that resides in your gut. These helpful little fellers get in there and fight off bad bacteria while setting up house. They start little families and assist your digestive tract to absorb and assimilate the nutrients you consume.
Typically these helpful bacterial families should be coming into your body naturally from all fruits, veggies and whole grains you consume because they come from soil. However, with today’s over-tilled, irradiated, chemically sprayed and genetically modified whole foods, we are not getting the healthy bacteria we need to survive!
Further, there are many things that kill the healthy bacteria that you are able to absorb. First and foremost antibiotics. Anti means “against.” Biotics means “living organisms.” When you take antibiotics you are not only killing the bad bacteria in your body that may be wreaking havoc, but you are also killing the good guys – those little fellers that keep you alive and help you stave off the bad ones!
A couple prime examples of this that I am sure you can relate to is a child with an ear infection. After a treatment of antibiotics, the ear infections return with a vengeance! Naturally this is because the good bacteria that were there to prevent recurrence were all killed off. Or when women are put on antibiotics, the first thing that happens is a horrid yeast infection. Again, the all the healthy bacteria that naturally fight yeast were eradicated.
Don’t think you don’t take antibiotics!!
If you eat any meat whatsoever that is not organic, or drink dairy products that are not organic – or even drink tap water, you are getting antibiotics into your system!

Antibiotics - Don't Think You Don't Take Them!
I read an article the other day about how many medications are found in our water supply. One of the key medications found was antibiotics.
This is one of those, "Ah-ha!" moments for me when it comes to marketing the In-Liven. We always tell people if they have taken antibiotics, they obviously need to reflourish their healthy bacteria. So - if someone says, "I have never taken antibiotics," I suppose the next question we should ask is, "Do you drink your tap water?"
How can it be that we are so careless as human beings to dump our drugs into the aquifers? I suppose the thought is that the filtering systems and chemicals will take care of it. But this article mentions that many of the drugs CANNOT be filtered and thus - we drink them.
Now, personally, I don't drink our tap water. It is well water - and I am a city girl who is afraid of the unknown. However, because we use a community well, they add chlorine and who knows what else. I am still not sure where exactly the water supply is coming from... I have yet to see a well on this property.
I have hooked up my trusty "dechlorinator" to the shower. (Which incidentally has come in quite handy in my new hobby with aquariums and fish) Marty won't even use the tap water to make the coffee in the mornings. I used to think that was a bit over-precautious, but after reading this article, I am feeling pretty grateful for his decision.
Maybe this is why my new fish, Sacha, is thriving on the In-Liven? I was hesitant to give it to her, but after researching fishy diets, I learned that fancy goldfish love spirulina. The first ingredient listed in the In-Liven is spirulina - so I went for it. She loves it! And unless Marty and I are imagining things, she is looking more shiny and vibrant in her colors than ever! She literally is "glistening" in the tank.
And speaking of the tank... it is amazingly clear! In fact, it is so clear that you cannot even tell there is water in there unless you look at the air bubbles going through the filter. Now, goldfish are the messiest fishies to keep because they poop more than any other fish. But her tank water is more clear than the water from our spigot! I am not sure if the In-Liven has anything to do with this... but I am not going to stop her daily regimine of it, that is for sure!
I tried to find articles on fish and probiotics. I found a lot of scientific studies, that were hard to follow, where fish farms are trying certain strains of probiotics to keep the fish healthy. Fish disease spreads fast - and I can imagine that with a lot of fish, they have severe issues when a fish does contract an illness. They pump the water full of... you guessed it... antibiotics! But, I think it is hopeful that they are at least jumping on the probiotic/prebiotic bandwagon. Especially when you consider bio-accumulation and our food chain.
Okay, I went off topic for a moment, but I can bring it back around. Because you see, another thing we can say to people who don't take antibiotics besides, "Do you drink tap water?" Is... "Do you eat fish?" :P
Lest we forget the carnivorous humans that consume factory farm meat! Holy cow do they eat up the antiobiotics!! (ar, ar) So another question to those who don't take antibiotics is, "Do you eat meat?" or "Do you drink milk?"
BTW... my dogs take the In-Liven twice a day with each meal. Don't forget their are people out there who care more about their pets than their own health! (If you want some incredible testimonials about the In-Liven and doggies - let me know and I will share those with you!)
So, let's recap... In-Liven is great for animals, fish, and any human that consumes meat, fish, dairy, and drinks tap water.
Hmmmm.... Can you think of ANYONE that would benefit from the In-Liven? :-)

Markets for superfoods, exotic fruits to double by 2011
(NewsTarget) The market in "super" foods and drinks is anticipated to nearly double from its 2001 levels by the year 2011, according to a report written by market analysis firm Datamonitor.
According to "Super Food and Drinks: Consumer Attitudes to Nutrient Rich Products," demand for superfoods has surged as consumers have become more concerned about nutrition. More than 50 percent of the 5413 U.S. and European consumers surveyed for the report said that they took more active steps to improve their diets in 2006 compared with previous years. The steps include eschewing foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar, as well as actively seeking out those perceived to be high in nutritive value. These include foods that are fresh, organic and nutrient enriched.
In particular, demand for products containing certain "super" ingredients, such as acai or goji berries, has skyrocketed. From January 2005 to May 2007, the number of products incorporating pomegranate as an ingredient increased by 500 percent compared with the period between 1999 and 2004.
This is part of a wider market trend, which has seen sales of soy products almost double in the United States while more than tripling in Western Europe between 2001 and 2006, and sales of green tea increased by more than 30 percent in the United States in the same eriod.
Datamonitor projects that the super foods market will grow from its 2001 levels of €5,872m ($8,013m) to €7,448m ($10,163m) by 2011.
The report also raises concerns with the growing market and offers suggestions for producers. Among the concerns cited are the ecological costs associated with shipping exotic ingredients from distant places to U.S. or European markets. The report also warns producers against marketing their products as a "magic bullet," and instead encourages them to emphasize the products' role in a healthy, balanced diet.
