By Michelle Graham on September 12, 2018Nutritional Pharmacist Ben Fuchs spoke on our recent webinar about Lectins, the hidden danger present in common “healthy” plant foods. If you think you’ve been doing everything right for your health, taking the essential nutrients every day, but still experiencing chronic health issues, then this webinar with world renowned Nutritional Pharmacist Ben Fuchs may give you some long awaited answers to turn your health around. Ben discusses how plants have an inbuilt protection system against predators (including humans) and how these protection systems can cause serious harm to the intestinal wall causing leaky gut, which in turn then triggers an immune response and inflammation in the body. Some of the health challenges linked with Lectin consumption are: Leaky Gut, Arterial damage, Weight Gain, Crohn’s disease, Hashimoto’s disease, Celiac disease, Lupus, IBS, and many more. Ben states that Leaky Gut Syndrome is the root cause for every Autoimmune disease. We also hear how Youngevity Gluco-Gel rebuilds connective tissue which is vital for repairing damaged intestinal walls. Ben also mentions that this ability of Gluco-Gel to repair/grow connective tissue in the body can assist with reducing wrinkles on the skin, help repair ruptured discs, hernias, prolapses and many other issues in the body. We also learn what Youngevity products can deter or repair Lectin damage in the body: FucoidZ Gluco-Gel Nightly Essense Ultimate Enzymes Ben gives us a protocol for repairing Leaky Gut Syndrome: 1.

pintadachica on 23 Jul 23Beauty-what does it mean? Taking a walk down your memory lane is something that will always yield forth-beautiful things to recall and more often than not, people tend to cherish the maiden memories of their childhood even at old age. To say the least, something beautiful is what everyone wants to have and if it happens that you already own one, it becomes a treasure you don't want to let go of no matter what come may. Well, some say beauty is an expensive problem while others say it is skin deep. However, what is perhaps known to all who adore beauty is the saying that goes, 'beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.' Many times, people strive to achieve what they refer to as beautiful dreams. However, this is not what this post aims at exploring. Fast forward to the world of beauty that borders on the use of cosmetics and skin care.
