Hydration/ Water/ Coconut Water

It is currently believed that the brain is made up of 77-78% of water. The brain also uses electrical current and water is a conductor of electricity. Therefore it is essential for good brain and body function to consume ample amounts of  clean water daily.

Summertime weather and sports can use up our water resources even faster (not to mention if you run a fever). To replenish our body of the electrolytes lost, instead of turning to products that are artificially flavored, contain food dyes (which can be neurotoxic), sugar or high fructose corn syrup (which ironically sugar can contribute to further dehydration) we use Coconut water. Coconut water is the best natural source for electrolytes and rehydrates faster than water.

Here are a few brands/flavors that we like as well as some additional information on each one that I pulled from their website:


ZICO

http://zico.com/products/benefits
For more than 4,000 years, coconut water has been revered as a natural source of nutrition, wellness, beauty and hydration. In times of famine and war, coconut water has been used as an intravenous fluid and saved many lives. It’s the only natural substance that can be safely injected into the human blood stream. Now modern science has validated its effectiveness, especially as a natural sports drink.
ZICO contains the five essential electrolytes that gives your body everything it needs to stay hydrated and perform at your best. One ZICO has more potassium than a banana – 15 times more than most sports drinks – to prevent cramping. Drink ZICO before or during a workout for the natural energy you need for optimal performance. After a workout, ZICO replenishes and re-hydrates you to speed recovery.

O.N.E.

http://www.onedrinks.com/one-coconut-water-benefits/

O.N.E. Coconut Water is 100% natural and has five essential electrolytes (calcium, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and sodium), more potassium than a banana, no added sugars and no preservatives. O.N.E. Coconut Water is a naturally sweet, low-calorie, hydrating beverage.

O.N.E. Coconut Water comes right from the tree, not from concentrate, and we filter it naturally through the coconuts’ own dense fibers. A gentle flash pasteurization removes any harmful microorganisms, while preserving that fresh, on-the-beach taste. O.N.E. Coconut Water has no fat, no cholesterol and much less sugar than most fruit juices.

O.N.E. Coconut Water is a refreshing drink for any time of the day. It is also a fantastic ingredient for healthy smoothies and can be used as an alternative to water or juice for mixing with protein powders.

O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash…of fruit juice

Just as the name suggests, O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash starts with our pure coconut water and we add a splash of fruit juice to offer tropical flavors like Mango, Pineapple and Pink Guava. Containing more than 85 percent coconut water, Splash offers tasty selections that still provide all the health benefits of drinking plain coconut water. Splash is packaged at the source to ensure the highest quality and freshness.

O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash

• Is the water from inside of a young green coconut with a splash of natural fruit juice
• Excellent for replacing lost electrolytes due to exercise, illness and/or excessive dehydration
• 15 times more potassium than traditional sports drinks, as well as lower acidity

The O.N.E. For Total Performance ™
Coconut water is already nature’s best hydrator, and we’ve made it better! We’ve added herbs and minerals to improve energy and mental focus. O.N.E. Active’s main ingredient, fresh coconut water (not from concentrate) contains the essential electrolytes that athletes need to perform better. Our healthy alternative to traditional sports drinks is available in three fruity flavors: Grape/Berry, Lemon/Lime and Cranberry/Grapefruit. O.N.E. Active is perfect for anyone with an active lifestyle who needs both physical and mental endurance to perform at peak levels on the playing field, in the workplace or in the classroom.

Nature’s Sports Drink

O.N.E. Active starts with the pure water from inside a young green coconut – nature’s original sport drink – then we add ginkgo biloba, panax ginseng, catuaba bark and antioxidants. Because O.N.E. Active contains essential minerals – potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and sodium – in the form of electrolytes, it is absorbed efficiently into the bloodstream, speeding fluid to your cells to rehydrate, refuel and replenish your body. Quick absorption is essential for warding off fatigue, cooling the body and achieving peak performance.
Of course, we avoid those undesirable ingredients found in most sports drinks (think high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, artificial flavors and day-glo colors ). Naturally sweetened with stevia, O.N.E. Active has no fat and no cholesterol and, at just 40 calories, it provides nearly 400 milligrams of potassium per 16.9-oz serving.  Like other O.N.E. Drinks, we package in eco-friendly Tetra Pak cartons.

So after I am done with the training, I will have certification for Brain Gym 101 and will have additional skills to offer my clients.

QRI Testimony--Daniel's Story

This is an amazing testimony of someone whose life was changed by the Quantum Reflex Integration. (QRI)

LG volunteered to take her brother in, thinking a new environment would help him change his behavior. She returned home from a visit to the US to find him in jail and a bill from the furniture and dishes he broke during a fight in a restaurant. LG then purchased the QRI home program and gave it to their chiropractor to use on her brother. This chiropractor does not speak any English, but followed the protocols in the program for 30 minute sessions twice a week. He used the laser he uses in his office. After only a few sessions the family began to notice dramatic changes in their brother's behavior. This is her success story:

"(My brother) 19 year old boy from Europe has been struggling and misunderstood his whole life. Growing up, other parents have said that he played fine with my child and for no apperant reason he would get really mad and angry and want to leave. He also struggled in school. He couldn't focus. He came home and try to do homework but just could not do it. He would sit in his room and pretend he was doing it.

As he got into high school his handwriting was still looking like a 6th graders and writing papers was really hard. He would sit in class and hear what was said but, had à hard time remembering it. He would try to write à paper when he came home but the thoughts dissapeared in his head before they could form à sentance. Or they would form à sentance and before he could write it down it was lost. I would sit with him through the evenings and nights and help him with homework. He would be so frustrated that he would have panic attacks. In the middle of trying to build à sentance he would have to lay down on The floor and breath. À two page paper could take 5 hours- and thats with à LOT of help. He always felt stressed, had tence neck and shoulders. Often had headaches and had sleeping problems.

His body felt so tense and stressed that he often said that it felt like his skin was crawling. He felt like à bomb. He could also often act like à bomb. For small things he could blow up. He could scream, hit, yell, hit his head against the wall, bash his hand threw à glass window, hit his fist on the table until it broke, bang chairs against the floor until they where firewood. He could be trying to do dishes but get overloaded and stressed over it and throw à knife instead. He wanted to do so much but he couldn't focus on anything. Things piled up and it was à bad, bad circle. He was failing most classes in high school. Had broken more things than he could pay for, and had ticked off most people around him because of his outbursts. He was restless had anger issues and major concentration problems. ADHD? Anger problem or much more? Well I can say one thing. He had reflex problems.

How do I know that? Because we tried Bonnie Brandes QRI, reflex integration program. After à few sessions the same 19 year old man has now: completed high school, and à class in college (all by himself) now has his drivers license and is able to work full time in à grocery store with lots to remember and à lot of stress. He has been given à life. Thank you Bonnie!"
