This superior product is the result of years of intensive
research by Life Plus scientists. It supplies an
unprecedented blend of superior protein sources, each of
high biological value, with dairy calcium, soluble
magnesium and potassium, and approximately a third of
the Daily Value (DV) of all essential vitamins and
minerals. BodySMART Triple Protein Shake helps support
muscle and lean body mass. This popular product provides
a special blend of proteins from three different sources
known for their biologically favorable ratio of amino acids:
GMO-free soya, milk protein isolate and whey protein.
Our whey protein is manufactured with a unique process
that incorporates low-pressure, low temperature ultra and
microfiltration, and advanced spray drying technology. This
ensures minimum protein denaturation and produces a very
high protein whey product that is virtually lactose and fat
free, fully soluble and has a neutral flavor. Unlike ion
exchange purified whey proteins, it is rich in biologically
active fractions. These three protein sources provide
a complete and balanced spectrum of all the amino acids.
Whey protein is a particularly rich source of the essential
and branch chained amino acids, which are crucial to
muscle function and development. Soy protein is also
known to have specific health benefits, including support
of heart health. Each serving of BodySMART Triple Protein Shake
provides 20 grams of high quality protein, just one-half to
one gram of fat, and one to two grams of carbohydrates (one
gram in the vanilla, and two in the chocolate). Combined
with the BodySMART Cellular Nutrition Supplement, it
also provides 100% or more of the DV of all the essential
vitamins and minerals that may be missing in one’s diet
during weight management programs. The BodySMART
Cellular Nutrition Supplement provides a wide spectrum of
health supporting compounds, matched to the needs of your
sex and age group.
Other than water, protein is the largest element
contained in the human body. Water makes up about 65% of our form
and proteins follow at about 28%. All cells in your bones, muscles,
hair, skin, nails, brain, heart, and organs contain proteins. The
enzymes that your body produces to facilitate your metabolic processes
are made of protein. Proteins, called immunoglobulins, are an important
component of your immune defense system and are needed to support
a healthy immune system. Your body maintains itself with the amino
acids from protein; therefore, it is important that you consume adequate
amounts on a daily basis. Unfortunately, as with so many people fighting
the “battle of the bulge” and losing weight, a significant portion
of the pounds they shed is lean body mass, which is primarily protein.
In order to support your overall health during weight loss, the health
of your organs, and metabolic processes, you must consume adequate
amounts of protein. .
Just as proteins contain amino acids, fats contain fatty acids.
Several fatty acids have been classified “essential”, especially linoleic acid and omega-3’s (at least for optimum health). In recent years, dietary fat has been generally targeted as the “enemy”, but it is necessary for many biological functions.
The brain and other organs require
large amounts of the best quality essential fats, including
cholesterol, DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid), phosphatidyl choline
and phosphatidyl serine. Each of these fats has a specific
function in maintaining the shape, fluidity, structure, and
function of the cell membranes of the trillions of cells in
your body. Virtually all of your body’s
hormones are also made from dietary fats! Severe dietary restrictions of fats
often coincide with the restriction of protein, as well.
Many people eat more fat than is considered healthy, particularly oxidized fat
(contained in foods that are fried in vegetable oils at high temperature) and
dangerous trans-fatty acids (contained in partially hydrogenated oils that are
used in most processed foods). |
The trans-fatty acids are oils, such as
vegetable oils, that have been chemically altered. Partially hydrogenated
vegetable oils were introduced after World War II and because they
dramatically increase the shelf life of fat containing packaged food,
their consumption skyrocketed. Virtually all packaged, ready-to-eat
foods now contain these trans-fatty acids. Until 50 years ago, these
trans-fatty acids had never been “seen” by the human
physiology. Now, because they are contained in so many foods, they
have become incorporated into important structures in the body, such
as cell membranes.
We are now in the third generation of “trans-fatty
acid humans” and at this time can only guess what effects the
ingestion of so much trans fatty acids will have on our bodies. Carbohydrates,
however, are not essential in the human diet. They are useful as
a fuel source, but must be carefully matched to your type of metabolism
and activity level. More importantly, fiber is classified as a carbohydrate.
Fiber is utilized in the digestive tract and is important in many
ways, but cannot be digested or used for energy. Many of the natural
foods rich in carbohydrates contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and
phytonutrients, but most of them are lost or drastically reduced
by refining and processing. Super Shake contains high-quality protein
from whey and soy, with little carbohydrate or fat, and a representative
amount of essential vitamins and minerals to help provide these important
nutrients, especially important to those limiting their caloric intake.
The statistics for our overweight society are concerning to say the very least. More than 56% of the U.S. population is overweight. These national statistics are concerning to health professionals, to say the least, and the phenomenon of increase in overweight people in our societies since the late 1970’s is just recently being addressed.
For overweight women, studies have shown that weight loss can significantly improve physical health. Nearly 40,000 overweight women, studied over a four-year period, revealed that improved vitality and physical function were associated with their weight loss. Maintaining proper body weight helps us retain an active lifestyle, which in turn helps promote fitness and health. Unfortunately, losing weight—and keeping it off—has been very difficult for most people. By now, we know that both “low fat” and “high complex carbohydrate” diets do not guarantee a maintained, normal, body weight. Generally, the closer that men and women of all ages are to their proper weight, the more likely they are to enjoy good health.
In order to help maintain a healthy weight, people who are carbohydrate sensitive should avoid diets high in carbohydrates. According to estimates, over half of overweight people are carbohydrate sensitive. By excluding foods made with white flour and white sugar, they are more likely to reduce abdominal fat, maintain already healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as retain already healthy blood pressure and fluid retention.
For women, the circumference of the waist being over 80%
the circumference at the widest part of the hips, and for men the waist being
as large or larger than the hips (as in a “beer belly”), are strong indications that they are carbohydrate sensitive and have been consuming diets high in carbohydrates for long time.
People who go on and off diets frequently complain that fewer calories result in weight gain, with each successive round of dieting. Now, clearly demonstrated evidence substantiates that the body gets “stingier” in its use of calories, after each dieting period. This means it becomes easier to gain weight and harder to lose it, with “yo-yo” dieting. So, as time goes on, the situation actually gets worse.
Moderate daily walking of as little as 30 minutes has been shown to condition the cardiovascular system. Resistance training, either with machines and/or free weights, is of particular value when combined with carbohydrate-restricted diets. Moreover, a study found that overweight women engaging in an exercise program were more likely to adhere to a lower-calorie diet.
Higher protein, low-carbohydrate weight management programs make sense. Supplementing with Super Shake, which carries a GMO-Free Certification for its soya protein, enriches your diet with protein and compliments limited carbohydrate diets, as well as with a limited intake of fat. Diets that are low in total calories may not contain adequate amounts of various vitamins and minerals.
BodySMART Triple Protein Shake provides the essential vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, and E, as well as the essential minerals copper, zinc, iodine, manganese, selenium, magnesium, calcium, molybdenum and chromium. Maintaining or replenishing healthy levels of chromium, along with daily replenishment of B vitamins can help to decrease cravings for sweets, and generally improve the ability to think clearly and handle stress more effectively. Nearly everyone is aware of the need for adequate dietary intake of essential nutrients from calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D for healthy nerves and bones, and vitamins A, C, E, and selenium for antioxidant protection. Selenium and iodine are necessary for healthy thyroid function, molybdenum is an essential trace element necessary for proper metabolism of iron and sulfur compounds, and copper, zinc, and manganese activate crucial antioxidant enzyme systems, among their many other functions.
BodySMART Triple Protein Shake is sweetened with “Sucralose”, which is
the newest technology in non-caloric sweeteners. Sucralose is almost
600 times sweeter than table sugar; therefore, it is possible to achieve
the same natural sweet flavor, with fewer calories. The FDA approved
Sucralose in the late 1990’s after receiving over 110 studies that had
been done over a period of 20 years. It is actually derived from table
sugar, and is a chemically stable molecule that is not digested or appreciably
absorbed from the intestines. Sucralose is not to be confused with other
sweeteners, which may act as excitotoxins in the brain. By incorporating
Sucralose into this popular protein supplement, a pleasant naturally-sweet
taste can be achieved without the carbohydrate calories from fructose
or other simple carbohydrates. †
