What is Sxinney Mist?




SXinney Mist is a powerful spray that not only freshens your breath,
but cuts the taste of sugar! Made of proprietary herbs and adaptogens, SXinney Mist is flavored with natural peppermint oil. But the power of this product is in the ingredients.

The main ingredient is Gymnema. It is a plant that grows in the tropical forests of
central and southern India and in parts of Africa. Herbalists in India have used the
leaves of this long, slender plant as a treatment for diabetes for more than 2,000 years. Gymnema is an Ayurvedic herb, and it came to be known as "destroyer of sugar" because, in ancient times, Ayurvedic physicians observed that chewing a few leaves of Gymnema sylvestre suppressed the taste of sugar. It not only destroys the taste of sugar in the mouth, the unique shape of gymnemic acid molecules are similar to that of glucose, allowing it to fill cell receptors in the lining the intestines, thereby reducing uptake of sugar molecules.

Benefits:
• Cuts the taste of sugar in your mouth
• Supports healthy blood sugar levels
• Supports healthy weight management
• Boosts your energy and stamina
• Supports your immune system
• Increases mental clarity
• Enhances physical performance

SXinney Mist also contains several powerful adaptogens. The term adaptogens refers to an herb that may increase the body's resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety and fatigue. All adaptogens contain antioxidants, but antioxidants are not necessarily
adaptogens and that is not their primary mode of action. The adaptogenic herbs in SXinney Mist were carefully selected because of their properties which have been shown to support the immune system, balance blood sugar, increase memory, speed physical recovery,and help adapt to physical, emotional, and environmental stress.

SXinney Mist can be used in several different ways during the day,depending upon your personal cravings and health goals. To help you avoid eating sweet foods, including diet sodas, just spray three times in your mouth, fully coating the tongue. Wait a few moments, and you will find that even if you ate something sweet, it would not be appealing!If you wanted to have a few bites of dessert, you can enjoy a small portion, and then spray SXinney Mist in your mouth to remove your
desire to eat any more dessert.

SXinney Mist can also be sprayed throughout the day to help reduce cravings, maintain balance, and help your body adjust to the stresses of life in the 21st century. However you choose to use it, SXinney Mist is a great addition to your health supplementation program.

Instructions: Spray in the mouth three times, thoroughly coating the tongue. Wait at least a minute before eating.

Ingredients: Gymnema herb (Gymnema sylvestre), Rhodiola root (Rhodiola rosea), Magnolia bark (Magnolia officinalis),

Fat Trouble Zones




Where you store fat says a lot about your health. Find out what your fat deposits reveal about you.

Ever since the World Health Organization (WHO) first identified obesity as an epidemic of mass proportions in the 1990s, scientists have done a great deal of research on the health risks associated with being overweight. The United States Center for Disease Control estimates that 300,000 Americans die annually from obesity-related illnesses, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and some types of cancer. And the weight of the world is growing globally – according to the WHO, waistlines have expanded well beyond industrialized countries, with 300 million adults suffering from obesity worldwide and more than 115 million of those from developing countries. However, recent studies show that weight distributed more locally could have even greater health implications than general obesity alone.

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Minnesota tracked 30,000 women for 12 years and discovered that those who carried excess weight around their middles were more likely to die or develop heart disease than generally overweight women. The study was reviewed in 2000 by Tufts University Nutrition Commentator, which noted that the findings supported existing views “that it is not just total fatness, but where the fat sits on the body that makes being overweight such a health hazard.”

Site Specific Fat Storage

Where people store fat can be attributed to everything from genetics to hormonal imbalances. In an article entitled “Obesity Begets Obesity” the U.S. Bariatric’s Director of Research, Cynthia Buffington, Ph.D., writes: “Various studies, including our own, have shown changes in the production (or clearance) of certain hormones in association with increasing body mass and regional fat distribution. Such hormonal changes may promote further weight gain and influence where the fat is distributed on the body.” Some of these hormonal imbalances include high levels of blood insulin, increased cortisol, low growth hormone levels and high testosterone for women or low testosterone for men. In his Biosignature Modulation program, strength coach Charles Poliquin in Tempe Arizona explains what fat deposits reveal about a person’soverall health and prescribes treatment relative to the characteristics of each site. He has identified 10 different fat storage sites on the body, which include the subscapular, or shoulder blade area, the triceps, the umbilical, or abdominal region, the front of the thighs, the gluteal fold and the mid-axillary and supra-iliac areas, located on the sides of the waist. In addition to exercise and diet, he recommends a variety of supplements to target each trouble spot.

TRICEPS


“Lean triceps are a function of higher androgen levels in the bloodstream,” Poliquin says. “Stress levels tend to lower androgen levels by ‘stealing’ pregnenolone to make cortisol instead of making the androgen DHEA. Herbal preparations, called adaptogens, help the body handle stress better and thus reduce cortisol levels.” In a report on nutritional stress management, Dr. Richard L. Shames from Florida Atlantic University writes that adaptogens are herbs that have been clinically proven to support a healthy response to stress. “Herbal adaptogens provide the benefit of balancing and normalizing the physiology,” Shames says.
