			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/wellness057-20/detail/B0009MUOEQ" target="_blank">RxOmega-3 FactorsTM</a> is a pharmaceutical grade liquid fish oil concentrate providing one of the highest potency of EPA and DHA available. Stringent quality control standards ensure this highly purified fish oil concentrate is free from toxic environmental contaminants and heavy metals like mercury. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease*.</p>
<p>One serving (1 tsp) of RxOmega-3 FactorsTM provides 1500 mg of EPA and 750 mg of DHA Omega-3 fatty acids. RxOmega-3 FactorsTM liquid oil has a pleasant orange flavor and is also available in <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/wellness057-20/detail/B000OQ9SBM" target="_blank">softgel capsules</a>.</p>
<p>Take the liquid over the softgel because it goes directly into your blood stream and you get the benefits much quicker then through a softgel.</p>
<div>RxOmega-3 Factors contains 750 mg long-chain fatty acids (500 mg EPA/250 mg DHA). The 2:1 ratio of EPA and DHA in RxOmega-3 Factors liquid has been the dominant ratio used and proven in scientific studies to produce clinical benefits.</p>
<p>While most North Americans eat too much of the omega-6 oils found in meats and most vegetable oils, they suffer a relative deficiency of the omega-3 oils, a situation that is associated with an increase risk for heart disease and about 60 other conditions, including cancer, arthritis, stroke, high blood pressure, skin diseases, and diabetes. Particularly important to good health are the longer chain omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) found in fish, especially cold-water fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and halibut. Although the body can convert alpha-linolenic acid, a short-chain omega-3 fatty acid, from flaxseed oil it is much more efficient to get them from fish oils. Furthermore, there is evidence that many people have a difficult time converting alpha-linolenic acid to EPA and DHA.</p>
<p>Why are the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids so important? The answer has to do with the function of these fatty substances in cellular membranes. A diet that is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, results in altered cell membranes. Without a healthy membrane, cells lose their ability to hold water, vital nutrients, and electrolytes. They also lose their ability to communicate with other cells and be controlled by regulating hormones. They simply do not function properly. Cell membrane dysfunction is a critical factor in the development of virtually every chronic disease, especially cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. Not surprisingly, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids have shown tremendous protective effects against all of these diseases. This delicious orange flavoured liquid provides 1,470 mg of fish oil in only one-third of a teaspoon.</p></div>

<p><em>Hunger Free Forever</em> is the new book that is hungry for answers to the roller coaster of weight gain, weight loss, weight gain&#8230;. you know the routine. What can another book tell us that hasn’t already been said?</p>
<p>Dr. Michael Lyon and Dr. Michael Murray have joined forces to bring recent scientific discoveries to light &#8211; discoveries that can help anyone with weight and diet concerns. The message of <em>Hunger Free Forever</em> may sound impossible, but these experts in natural health solutions show that it CAN be done.</p>
<p>“We are driven by concern for people’s health,” explains naturopathic physician and co-author of <em>Hunger Free Forever</em>, Dr. Michael Murray. “Stopping the obesity epidemic is key to preventing so many major health problems —cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, dementia, depression, even liver disease, impotence and arthritis. Obesity needs to be addressed, and fast, if we are going to improve people’s health. Individuals CAN do something about their weight. With this book we want to give them more than hope; we can help them get real results.”</p>
<p><strong>Part of the Solution</strong><br />
The authors of <em>Hunger Free Forever </em>advise that there are many natural methods and products that can make it easier to reach, and maintain, a healthy weight. One key aspect of weight management is the use of fibre. In this book you will find out about the extensive scientific research behind a remarkable soluble fibre blend called PGX<sup>®</sup>, PolyGlycoPlex<sup>®</sup>. PGX can help re-train an overweight body so that hunger and cravings are reduced and the process of eating is, once again, under the individual’s control.</p>
<p>Written in an easy-to-read style, <em>Hunger Free Forever</em> offers many key weight loss and life style tips that can “terminate” bad relationships with food. The reader will find assistance from these health professionals for reducing stress and learning how to alter destructive habits and transform them into good habits. Using this book, you can come to understand, and control, the relationships between eating, appetite, metabolism, hormones, stress, muscle mass, attitude and glycemic index — to name a few! It just might change your life and health for the better, forever!</p>

<h2 id="divAnswerHead">What are the 7 Keys to Hunger Free Weight Loss?</h2>
<p style="display: block" id="divAnswerBody" class="bd">          “Read the book!”</p>
<ul>
<li>Restore Blood Sugar Stability</li>
<li>Eating Strategies for High Satiety</li>
<li>Transform Your Habits, Transform Your Life</li>
<li>Reduce the Effects of Stress and Cortisol</li>
<li>Tone Your Muscles, Train Your Heart</li>
<li>Rev Up Your Metabolism</li>
<li>Program Yourself for Success</li>
</ul>

<p id="ctl00_cphMainContent_divAnswer" class="tanBox roundBox">&nbsp;</p>

<h2 id="divAnswerHead">What is PGX?</h2>
<p style="display: block" id="divAnswerBody" class="bd"> PGX is a newly discovered blend of highly viscous soluble fiber known as PolyGlycoPlex. Used with or before each meal it promotes satiety, improves blood sugar control and supports healthy action of insulin.</p>
<p>The key aid to lose weight safely, effectively, and permanently is to greatly increase the consumption of dietary fiber. Unfortunately, to achieve appetite stabilizing effects very large quantities of fiber must be consumed – more than most people would ever eat. However a small, five gram serving of PGX produces a volume and viscosity that would equal as much as 4 bowls of oat bran!</p>
<p>The effectiveness of fiber on reducing appetite, blood sugar, and cholesterol is directly proportionate to the amount of water the fiber can absorb &#8211; its water holding capacity &#8211; and the degree of thickness or viscosity it provides in the stomach and intestine. Although there are many varieties of soluble fiber, PGX is the most viscous and soluble fiber ever discovered.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found it has helped me tremendously controlling my blood sugar issues.</p>
<p>I personal found just one scoop of the <a href="http://www.slimstyles.com/us_products.htm#appetite" title="PGX Slim Style" target="_blank">PGX Slim Style</a> was all I need.  Once a day.<br />
I combined it with a full glass of 1% organic milk.  Then immediately poured myself a glass of  water so I wouldn&#8217;t forget to drink the 12 oz of water with in an hour of taking the PGX.  Drinking the water is EXTREMELY important so you don&#8217;t get constipated.</p>
<p>I found that I was not hungry and during the times of day that I normally would nose dive and feel my sugar drop  I was not having that issue <img src='http://www.virtualbiz4u.com/wellness/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>When I am on the go I will take the PGX tablets which are very convenient.  Again make sure you take plenty of water during swallowing the tablets so they don&#8217;t expand in your throat, and then a 12 oz glass of water immediately afterwards.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Murray this fiber is like no other fiber as it is 600 times more beneficial in helping control blood sugar.</p>
<p>My son also takes the SlimStyle after working out as it also contains 25 g of protein.  This is much better for you then those body building drinks on the market.</p>
<p>My Dad takes it for his diabetes, and is finding great results.</p>
<p>My girlfriend doesn&#8217;t need to lose weight but is taking it for her hypoglycemia and is finding great results also.</p>
<p>Read below to more detail about PGX and also listen to the Audio File.</p>
<p>Here is a <strong>audio file </strong>to learn more about PBX and how it has a great effect on glucose stabilization.<br />
Dr. Michael Lyon, M.D. discusses diabetes, weight loss and his research using PGX.<br />

</a></p>
<h1>             How it Works</h1>
<p>PGX is not a diet. It helps with weight management by helping control appetite and             calorie intake. It comes in new PGX Daily softgel capsules, in delicious powdered             meal replacement mixes and in no-flavour granules that can be added to moist foods.</p>
<ul>
<li>Mix up a delicious PGX shake and have it for breakfast, and/or lunch each day.</li>
<li>Take PGX Daily or single serving packets of PGX granules with you to the office,                 school or any time you’re eating out.</li>
<li>Sprinkle PGX granules on any moist food (soups, sauces, even salads or pizza!) and                 eat as you normally would &#8211; you’ll feel full after eating less. Remember to drink                 PLENTY of water to ensure the PGX has enough moisture to expand.</li>
<li>• PGX can even be baked into muffins and breads or made into a tasty pudding.</li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever form of PGX you choose, you can incorporate this health supporting supplement             into your lifestyle easily and quickly. So start NOW to stop the cravings and reduce             the hunger that are making you fat.</p>
<p>(PGX) PolyGlycoplex is a proprietary blend of natural viscous, non-starch polysaccharides             that act synergistically to develop a higher level of viscosity than other dietary             viscous fibres known. This blend forms a unique gel matrix that moves slowly through             the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike many fibre-containing natural health products,             PGX does not lose its gel-like viscosity in the acidic environment of the stomach             or the alkaline intestinal environment.</p>
<p>The effectiveness of fibre on reducing appetite, blood sugar, and cholesterol is             well known and is directly proportionate to the amount of water the fibre is able             to absorb (water holding capacity) and the degree of thickness or viscosity it develops             in the stomach and intestine. For instance, oat bran lowers cholesterol and controls             blood sugar better gram for gram than wheat bran because it absorbs more water.             PGX combines several fibres that work synergistically to multiply each others’ effects             and exert health effects equivalent to much larger quantities of any other fibres.</p>
<p>PGX is the most viscous and soluble fibre ever discovered. With its higher level             of viscosity and extraordinary gel-forming properties, PGX is able to absorb hundreds             of times its weight in water, resulting in a volume and viscosity three to five             times greater than other highly soluble fibres like psyllium or oat beta glucan.             A five gram serving of PGX in a meal replacement formula, or on its own, produces             a volume and viscosity equal to as much as 20 grams of some other fibres , or 4             bowls of oat bran! Small quantities of PGX can be added to foods or taken before             meals to have an impact on appetite and blood sugar.</p>
<h1>             The Mechanical Benefits</h1>
<p>Viscous foods move slowly through the digestive system, delaying absorption of nutrients             and sugars into the blood, thereby moderating blood sugar levels. With PGX added             to your meal, glucose levels rise more slowly as nutrients are absorbed more slowly.             This means that when PGX is taken before meals, it slows the rate at which the food             is broken down into glucose. This eliminates the blood sugar roller-coaster effect             and improves the body’s use of insulin.</p>
<h1>             Pre-Biotic Effects</h1>
<p>In the colon, PGX is highly &#8220;prebiotic&#8221; &#8211; that means it promotes the growth of healthy             bacteria and the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA); substances that are             vitally important to colon health. In the intestines PGX helps increase production             of bifidobacteria, while suppressing the growth of undesirable microbes, such as             <em>Candida albicans</em>, and lowering stool pH. It may also help decrease production             of cholesterol and free fatty acids. As a viscous polysaccharide, PGX also increases             excretion of bile acids, an action that helps lower blood cholesterol levels.</p>
