RESET: Nutritional Support The Power of Nutritional Supplementation in Combating Oxidative Stress
Roy Blocher • Healthy for Life Team Leader – Certified by Dr. Ray Strand, MD • University of MD: Masters in Exercise Physiology (all courses but thesis) • Former ACE Certified Fitness Instructor • Former ACE Certification Trainer • Usana Ruby Director
What is the Glycemic Index? • The final form of ALL food delivered to the cells for energy is: Glucose • The glycemic index (G.I.) is a rating (1-100) of how rapidly a food will raise blood sugar (Dr. Jenkins) • Why important – Speed Kills: • Rapid increases in blood sugar cause an insulin response • Abuse of insulin causes damage over time • Glucose is the standard; it rapidly raises your blood sugar, and has a high index score of 100. • All foods can be rated relative to glucose.
The Basic Approach – Lifestyle • Supplementation • High Quality Multi-Vitamin • Essential Fatty Acids • Low Glycemic Foods • Focus on foods under 50 • Some allowed 50-70 • Exercise • 5x’s per week, 30-60 minutes, moderate or intense • FUN! • All Three in The Usana RESET: • RESET Your Body: 5-day jumpstart • Phase I for Continued Weight Loss • Phase II for Maintenance Does it work?....
Healthy for Life Research Results* • Weight loss of 13 pounds of body weight. • BMI and waist circumference reduced. • Systolic & diastolic blood pressure dropped. • Total cholesterol levels dropped 15 percent. • LDL cholesterol levels dropped 17 percent. • Insulin sensitivity significantly increased by 14 percent. • Fasting blood glucose levels declined slightly Disclaimer: This is one group of 25 people. We cannot promise identical results for you, and Usana does not promise a “cure” but the protocol of the indicated lifestyle change involving diet, supplementation and exercise appears validated by these results. *See http://www.releasingfat.com
What’s The Problem? • Oxidative Stress – the Glycemic cycle • Caused by what we eat – High glycemic foods kick off the cycle • No protection – antioxidants • (The glycemic cycle is not the only cause of oxidative stress – sun, pollutants, etc just add to the problem)
The Damage is Progressive • Damage to arterial wall • Elevated triglycerides and cholesterol • Thickening of the arterial wall • Damage to cholesterol alters it’s function (Oxidized Cholesterol) creates “foam cells” • High blood pressure and cardio-vascular disease • Closing of capillary bed • KEY: Increased resistance to insulin: insulin levels become elevated • If we don’t make changes we are headed for: • Metabolic Syndrome: which develops over time as insulin levels continue to rise creating an increase in the problems listed here. • Type II Diabetes: which has increased 500% during the past generation with 90% of the cases due to insulin resistance
What do we need to do? • Low glycemic eating to stop the glycemic stress • Nutritional supplementation to heal the oxidative damage • Exercise to open the capillary bed and increase blood flow to muscles
Why Supplements? • Provides key source of nutrition for the cells to heal themselves • Allows cholesterol to do it’s healing work on the arterial wall • The creation of this healing environment allows the cells to reverse the damage caused by oxidative stress • Protection from further damage • One of the three components of lifestyle change: result of all three superior to one or two alone • Supplements provide what our foods do not, the full balance of nutrition required by the cell These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The components of the RESET program are foods and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. As with any health or fitness program, a sensible eating plan and regular exercise are required in order to achieve long-term results. Results will vary.
Need for Supplements • Not getting it from food: The USDA surveyed 16,000 Americans and found that not one person obtained 100 percent of essential nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin E, and zinc.1 Similarly, children and adolescents did not obtain enough essential nutrients such as folate, vitamin C, and calcium.2 1. Nutrition Today 2. USDA Nutrition Assistance Program Report Series CN-01-CD1
Problems with Supplements • It’s NOT getting to you… In a recent study, researchers discovered that more than half (54 percent) of the nutritional supplements tested did not disintegrate properly. This study illustrates that disintegration, one basic indicator of product quality, is still a concern for dietary supplements.1 1. J. Pharm Pharmaceut Sci (www.cspsCanada.org) 9(1):40 - 49
Problems with Supplements • Not Balanced A study conducted at Yale New Haven Hospital tested 257 vitamin products. Only 49 were judged as having adequate ratios of nutrients. 1. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 1987, Volume 87, p.341
