Detox regularly and help prevent weight gain!

Vinny Gebhart - Sunday, May 01, 2011

For a healthy body and a healthier life, don’t wait to get rid of toxins... prevent their buildup with regular detox. Regular detox is a foundation for optimal health and wellness!  Removing toxins from the body with regular detox can help prevent the production of fat cells, resulting in weight gain prevention.


Why?

Toxins not eliminated from the body are stored in fat cells, in an effort by the body to prevent damage to our organs. By encasing the toxins in fat cells, they are isolated from the body’s more vulnerable parts. It’s a natural defense mechanism, but with an unwanted side effect – weight gain.  As the toxins accumulate, they fill up fat cells, and our body produces more fat cells to store the additional toxins. The end result is weight gain. This process does not get better as we age, and it certainly plays a large role in the difficulty of losing weight after passing age 30. After so many years of storing these toxins, it becomes very difficult to expel them from their fatty storage.

This natural phenomenon is the basis for a common misunderstanding: contrary to popular belief, detox alone does not result in weight loss - but there is a crucial link between toxins and weight gain. Rather than resulting in weight loss, detox can help prevent weight gain by preventing toxins from being stored in fat cells. Detox also provides the additional benefit of countering oxidative stress and its well known negative impact on health and speeding of the aging process.

What’s the best way to prevent toxins from causing weight gain and damage to your body?

Regular Intake of potent antioxidants and a diet that limits toxin production are the best solutions. Antioxidants are the scavengers of circulating toxins. A regular detox regimen with potent antioxidants eliminates toxins as they come and before they become harmful or encased in fat cells. The more toxins eliminated by antioxidants, before they become harmful or stored in fatty tissues, the less potential weight gain.

Rebootizer, taken in a 6 day-regimen each month, offers a great solution to protect you from toxins. Specifically designed to give your body the most potent natural blend of antioxidants, it will help you expel and neutralize toxins before they are stored in fat cells, preventing weight gain from normal toxin accumulation. Moreover, the powerful antioxidants in Rebootizer will counter oxidative stress.

Regular Detox is the Key

Once we recognize the process employed by the body to deal with the toxins we ingest and produce, it is easy to see why regular detox is so important. Toxins are everywhere, and no matter how clean a life we try to live, we ingest and produce more of them than we should. From the fruit we buy at the market to the water that comes from our taps, we are assailed with toxins. Add in air-pollution from small particulates (think busses and trucks zooming by), toxins from the well deserved drink after a stressful day, and second-hand cigarette smoke, and you begin to see that it is impossible to avoid the host of pollutants that are a part of our everyday lives. The modern-day world is a toxic environment. Pesticides, technology, environmental pollutants and urban living ensure this. With all these toxins surrounding us, it’s no surprise that the body must regularly produce fat to counter the toxins.

It is easy to see why Rebootizer can be so important to your health, and to your efforts to prevent weight gain.

Regular detox combats this daily inundation of toxins, serving as the foundation for optimal health and wellness.  By incorporating a Rebootizer regimen, with its powerful blend of natural antioxidants, into your daily life, you can prevent the buildup of toxins in your body. This helps to avoid your body producing fat cells to store the unwanted toxins, and helps you avoid weight gain – just one of the many health benefits associated with regular detox.

Rebootizer can help you keep the weight off, keep the toxins out, and be a healthier, happier you.

COMBAT OXIDATIVE STRESS THE RIGHT WAY: DETOX WITH REBOOTIZER

Vinny Gebhart - Friday, February 11, 2011

Oxidative stress is the cause of quickened aging, poor skin, cancer, and myriad other health issues affecting women.  This is why you see and hear so many celebrities touting the latest detox diets – they are trying to combat the harms of oxidative stress. You should be too.  But don’t chase the latest fad diet, combat oxidative stress the right way.

To start, we need to understand what oxidative stress is, where it comes from, and then, how to fight it.  Oxidative stress is the product of unchecked free radicals in the body.  Free radicals come from both external and internal sources, such as chemicals, drugs, tobacco smoke, radiation, air pollution, sunlight, and pollutants in and on our food, and even exercise and internal metabolic processes.  Free radicals are essentially negatively charged ions (unstable organic molecules).  When free radicals are left unchecked, a sort of free radical chain reaction occurs (an unstable molecule making other molecules unstable), and oxidative stress results.

Oxidative stress damages cells at a basic level, leading to systemic inflammation that is the root of a great many negative things. Oxidative stress is responsible for aging, a host of serious diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, and has been linked to liver and kidney problems. One leading medical authority on cellular nutrition and nutritional medicine describes the effect of oxidative stress on the body as similar to a piece of fruit exposed to air and browning, saying, “our body is no different. We age mostly because we ‘oxidize‘. Our bodies ‘rust’ on the inside due to oxidation.”

Obviously it is imperative to do something about the dangers of oxidative stress.

And this is why detox diets are all the rage right now. Celebrities tweeting left and right about this plan, that plan, about lemon juice and maple syrup, about not eating and only drinking green tea for days.  But doctors and dietitians agree that these diets are no healthier than any other fad diet, and in fact ultimately lead to unhealthy dietary habits and weight gain that outweigh any possible health benefit.

There is, however, a better way to detoxify your body, combat oxidative stress and conquer free radicals, all without a starvation diet. Rebootizer has been proven by a scientific study to repair oxidative stress. Rebootizer provides the benefits of detoxification, without the necessity of a grueling week long starvation diet. Thanks to its amazing blend of antioxidant rich superfoods, Rebootizer repairs oxidative stress, allowing the body to combat free radicals more effectively.  Rebootizer is a two-ounce shake, made from a blend of Acerola, Dandelion, Licorice, Angelica, Artichoke, and Lemon balm, all anti-oxidantrich, natural ingredients that have been recognized for millennia for their medicinal value.

Antioxidants have been scientifically proven to combat oxidative stress and protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. Antioxidants act to supply missing electrons for unstable molecules in order to prevent free radical damage from external and internal sources. In essence, antioxidants stop the free radical chain reaction from happening, and prevent oxidative stress from even occurring.

This is where Rebootizer excels, combining the most potent of antioxidant superfoods into an easy to drink shake, allowing you to incorporate the power of antioxidants into your daily life and truly detoxify. Rebootizer is easy to incorporate into your life – it is just a two-ounce shake that can be consumed at any time.  Taken regularly (at least for a 6-day wellness regimen each month) you will see the immediate results- feeling good and fresh, with improved skin and vitality, and just plain feeling, and looking much better every day! And this is just the immediate result, the long term benefits to incorporating antioxidants and detoxification into your life are profound

Rebootizer is only two ounces, tastes great, and is super convenient. Just “squeeze, shake and drink”… LOVE IT! And live the Reboot Style!

DETOX YOUR BODY - CLEAR SKIN DETOX

Vinny Gebhart - Friday, February 11, 2011

Beauty is more than skin deep.  So the old line goes.  But in truth, your skin is more than just the first thing a person notices about you – it is a map of your health, revealing when you are in fact healthy and happy and reflecting this with clear, glowing skin; betraying, with an unhealthy hue and blemishes, malnourishment, dehydration, and being filled with toxins from overindulgence.  So there is more than one reason to want impeccable, clear, radiant skin (not that we really need a reason beyond the surface). Wanting to look your best is enough motivation to find the healthiest, most natural and best way to address the underlying cause of our skin looking less than radiant. And if doing so has remarkable health benefits as well, all the better.

There are whole industries designed to help improve your skin complexion.  They involve everything from expensive creams, to facials, muds, seaweeds and other treatments at the spa, and even strong antibiotics like retin-A.  But there is a simpler, more natural and healthier way to improve the root cause of your skin’s appearance, and to improve your health at the same time. Whereas creams, facials and wraps address only the surface, and treat only symptoms, detoxifying can eliminate the very things that cause blemishes, oiliness, and breakouts.

Detoxification is the process of removing all of the toxins present in the body.  Toxins become present in the body through the consumption of alcohol, fatty and unhealthy foods, overindulgence, as well as environmental causes such as air pollution. Toxins are unavoidable with even the healthiest of lifestyles, and most of us don’t manage to live the healthy life we aspire too – whether it’s because we live in a big city, surrounded by cars and trucks filling the air with pollution, or because we over indulge with fatty foods and alcoholic drinks. So we can all benefit from removing toxins from our body. Especially if our goal is healthier, radiant looking skin.

Some of the most common detox methods involve diets, but these are less than ideal for a number of reasons. First, popular detox diets can be arduous five, seven, or even twenty-one day ordeals, in which the dieter is asked to forego nearly all foods.  It doesn’t take a doctor or scientist (though they certainly have) to see that this type of deprivation will have negative consequences that outweigh the promised benefits of detoxification.

Thankfully there is a better way to detoxify your body and improve your skin – one that doesn’t require extreme fasting or subsistence on a single vegetable or beverage.  Rebootizer, through its amazing blend of antioxidant rich superfoods and plants, provides effective detoxification with great benefits to the skin with no fasting required.  By utilizing an effective blend of natural fruits and herbs, all of which have been recognized for centuries as having medicinal value, Rebootizer can detoxify and purify your body when taken as part of your normal life, no extreme deprivations required.

Even better, Rebootizer is extremely affordable compared to expensive spa treatments, specialty creams, and prescription medications, and doesn’t require lots of time spent on your back.  Rebootizer’s effectiveness comes from its all natural ingredients, high not just in antioxidants, but also known through the ages for their benefits to the skin. Rebootizer combines Lemon Balm, Dandelion, Licorice, Angelica, Artichoke and Acerola for a potent detoxifying effect that benefits overall health, fights free-radical damage, and provides healthier skin.

Taken regularly (at least for a 6-day wellness regimen each month) and each time you feel that you’ve really indulged- you will see the immediate resultsfeeling good and fresh the morning after a party, and just plain feeling, and looking much better every day! No gruesome cleansing regimen with tons of pills or diets, creams or facials. Rebootizer is only two ounces, tastes great, and is super convenient. Just “squeeze, shake and drink”… LOVE IT! And live the Reboot Style!

ANGELICA - Best Natural Extracts for Healthy Detox

Vinny Gebhart - Tuesday, January 18, 2011

A family of herbs found in the northern reaches of the Northern Hemisphere, Angelica gets its heavenly name for its remarkable healthful qualities.  Angelica has long been sought-after by a great many cultures through a great many ages, some using it as a remedy for poison, some to cure infections, others to combat illness. What they have all known, and what its name suggests, is that Angelica is a powerful medicinal plant, with a variety of uses and multiple benefits for those wise enough to take advantage. 


Responsible for its amazing healing properties, Angelica contains vitamin B12, Zinc, Thiamin, Sucrose, Riboflavin, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Fructose, Glucose, and many other trace minerals. In addition, Angelica has been shown in medical studies to have strong antioxidant properties, which have been demonstrated to combat the damage done by free radicals. Free radicals cause aging, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, rheumatism and cancer.  It is no wonder then that this wonder of a plant, Angelica, has been used for thousands of years to promote health and to combat the onset of aging and disease

 Similarly, Rebootizer takes advantage of the amazing benefits of Angelica. While ancient cultures were wise to the benefits of this heavenly herb, Rebootizer builds upon that wisdom, adding Angelica to other amazing healing natural ingredients to combat the damage done from over indulgence.

Angelica is a key ingredient in the effectiveness of Rebootizer, imparting its many, and amazing health benefits and by working in conjunction with the other amazing natural ingredients of Rebootizer: Dandelion, Licorice, Acerola, Artichoke, and Lemon balm.

EATING, DRINKING AND DETOX. Too Much of a Good Thing Is Not So Good.

Vinny Gebhart - Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Eating and Drinking.  The cornerstones of a life well-lived.   But when done to excess, when the eating is of too many rich and fatty foods, when the drinking is not just a glass of wine at dinner, or a beer after work, there is a price to pay for this Indulgence. We all know the price: a nasty hangover, feeling bloated, slow, and unhealthy.

With the holidays just behind us, we have all undoubtedly done more than our share of eating and drinking.  Holiday parties, nights out on the town with friends, gatherings with the family, all these things that make the season bright: all of which involve eating way too much, and way too much of the good stuff, not to mention all those glasses of holiday cheer.  This has the inevitable effect of introducing unwanted toxins into our bodies, of subjecting our innards to the ravages of free-radicals.

It will come as no surprise that over consumption of alcohol has a deleterious effect on the body – one only has to wake up the morning after a good-time to know this.  The spinning head, the queasiness, the sensitivity to bright light, all signs of your body being overwhelmed by the toxins present in alcohol.  Foods high in fat and sugar, while they may not cause splitting-headache type hangovers, are equally bad for the body, as they too introduce more toxins than the body can handle.   This over indulgence causes both short-term pain and also a serious impact on your health over time.

And so the mind naturally turns to detoxification.  Detox, as it is popularly known, has become quite the recent trend.  You can barely turn around without someone promoting alemon juice diet, tea and berries for a week, or maple syrup and pepper concoctions.  While the intent behind these radical detox diets is laudable, they are not the best or even safest way to improving health, and combating the effects of too much eating and drinking.

This is where Rebootizer comes in.  This amazing new detoxifying product combines the incredible health benefits of nature’s greatest superfoods, for an unequaled result. Combining the antioxidant and medicinal properties of Acerola, Artichoke, Dandelion, Licorice, Angelica, and Lemon balm, Rebootizer draws upon the wisdom of ancient cultures, which have used these superfoods for centuries to promote health.  The amazing result is a little packet that offers incredible detoxification benefits, without the need to limit yourself to only lemon juice and tea for a week.

Taken regularly (for a 6-day detox and wellness regimen each month) and each time you feel that you’ve really indulged, you will see the immediate results- feeling good and fresh the morning after a party, and just plain feeling much better every day! No gruesome cleansing regimen with tons of pills or diets. Rebootizer is only two ounces, tastes great, and is super convenient. Just “squeeze, shake and drink”… LOVE IT!


Artichoke: Nature’s Artful Remedy

Vinny Gebhart - Tuesday, January 18, 2011

ARTICHOKE
Artichoke: Nature’s Artful Remedy

This funny looking, prickly thistle may not look like much, but it is packed with vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. Specifically, the artichoke is very high in vitamin C, fiber, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and contains more antioxidants than other touted foods such as red wine and chocolate. Modern science has “discovered” these amazing health benefits, but in reality people have been taking advantage of the artichoke’s health benefits for a very long time.

For centuries, the artichoke has been used for liver and gallbladder conditions, 'cleaning' the blood, as well as the bladder. Even millennia ago, the Egyptians coveted artichoke for its health benefits. The Romans too were in on the benefits of this amazing plant: Plinius called artichoke the 'food for the rich' because it was a balm to those that lived too rich a life (or what we know as the good life) - excessive consumption of rich foods, over indulgence in fats and alcohol that led to liver illnesses, gout and a general run down condition.

Rebootizer puts artichoke to the very same use that the Romans and Egyptians did – taking full advantage of its amazing health benefits to counteract the harms of today’s busy and indulgent life. Rebootizer goes a step further than the ancients, combining artichoke with other amazingly potent health-supporting and detoxifying ingredients, to create a product that truly offers what the Romans and Egyptians sought: a cure for overindulgence, drinking too much and eating too well.

Artichoke is proven to help liver function, thus helping to lower the blood cholesterol and remove toxins from alcohol.  Moreover, artichoke has been shown to be effective in combating arteriosclerosis, gout, and it supports the treatment of hepatitis and improves the gall secretions.  In addition, it can slightly lower the blood sugar, improve the appetite and digestion, acts as a diuretic and may help some migraine conditions. Studies have also shown thatartichoke has a beneficial effect on the skin, improving its appearance.

The Artichoke is a Vitamin C Laden, Antioxidant Superfood!

A study published in July 2006 measured the antioxidant content of 1,113 foods and beverages commonly consumed in the United States. The items were ranked by antioxidant concentration per serving size. The study was conducted independent of any industry sponsors and is the largest study of antioxidant content to date. The results: Artichokes ranked seventh in total antioxidant capacity per serving out of more than 1000 common foods, such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts, etc. Source: Adapted from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (2007) Study data.

Artichoke is a key ingredient in the effectiveness of Rebootizer, imparting its many, and amazing health benefits and by working in conjunction with the other amazing natural ingredients of Rebootizer: Dandelion, Licorice, Angelica, Acerola, and Lemon balm.


Dandelion - Pesky weed or GREAT detox?

Vinny Gebhart - Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Everybody hates that pesky weed called the dandelion. Every year when the weather gets warm sure enough some yard in your neighborhood will have a huge crop of dandelions. You cringe at the prospect of all those dandelions going to seed. Truly it will be an ill wind if any of those seedlings get blown into your carefully manicured lawn.

But most people don't realize that the dandelion is a very powerful detoxification agent. It has been used for generations to treat liver and kidney ailments of all sorts. Its detoxification power has also been used to treat respiratory problems, cure gastro-intestinal ailments and cleanse the circulatory system. It even is reputed to help dissolve some kidney stones. In fact, in northern China, the dandelion is considered to be one of the most useful medicinal herbs.



Dandelions are Rich in Vitamins and Nutrients

Dandelions are highly nutritious and contain several vitamins and minerals to promote well-being. Dandelion leaves contains more beta-carotene than carrots, which is important for improving a person’s ability to see in dim light. The leaves contain iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc, as well as vitamins B-1, B-2, B-5, B-6, B-12, C, D, E, and P.

Dandelions are edible and a rich source of vitamin A. It has also been used as a Chinese medicine to treat inflammation and infection. It is being studied for use in the treatment of liver disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease. Dandelions are regarded as one of the very best herbs known for gall bladder, spleen and liver complaints, and one of the safest and most active plant diuretics.

The root of the dandelion contains beneficial sources of vitamins A, C and D as well as B-complex. The root also contains the minerals zinc, iron and potassium. When eaten as a food, dandelion root offers a high antioxidant value to the diet which, according to the National Cancer Institute, studies show can be effective in preventing cancer and fighting tumors.

Medical Research Shows Dandelions to be Effective in Promoting Health

Preliminary research suggests that dandelion may show promise as an anti-cancer agent. In a 2008 study on breast and prostate cancer cells, researchers found that dandelion leaf extract slowed the growth of breast cancer cells and stopped the spread of prostate cancer cells.

According to the University of Maryland’s Medical Center in its online article, “Dandelion,” dandelion roots are used today mainly for liver and gallbladder function, as an appetite stimulant and a digestive aid. However, here are other healing benefits of dandelion.

Antioxidants in Dandelion

In a 2003 study, scientists found that dandelion flower extract may fight free radicals (chemical by-products known to damage DNA). Dandelion herb contains a generous store of antioxidants & so may help prevent cancers which require an oxidized environment.

There are certain fruits and vegetables that are good for the liver, many of which contain antioxidants that help protect cells and beta-carotene for vitamin A. Fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants and beta-carotene are red, yellow, and dark green vegetables and fruits, green peppers, carrots, orange vegetables, dandelion greens, and sea greens.

According to the USDA Bulletin #8, "Composition of Foods" (Haytowitz and Matthews 1984), dandelions rank in the top 4 green vegetables in overall nutritional value. Minnich, in "Gardening for Better Nutrition" ranks them, out of all vegetables, including grains, seeds and greens, as tied for 9th best. According to these data, dandelions are nature's richest green vegetable source of beta-carotene, from which Vitamin A is created, and the third richest source of Vitamin A of all foods, after cod-liver oil and beef liver! They also are particularly rich in fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and the B vitamins, thiamine and riboflavin, and are a good source of protein.

DANDELION is a key ingredient in the effectiveness of Rebootizer, imparting its many, and amazing health benefits.  Working in conjunction with the other amazing natural ingredients of Rebootizer: Licorice, Lemon Balm, Angelica, Artichoke and Acerola.  

Hangovers Cure with Right Nutrition

Vinny Gebhart - Wednesday, December 08, 2010

A hangover describes the sum of unpleasant physiological effects following heavy consumption of alcoholic beverages. ­The formal name for a hangov­er is veisalgia, from the Norwegian word for "uneasiness following debauchery" (kveis) and the Greek word for "pain" (algia) -- an appropriate title considering the uncomfortable symptoms experienced by the average drinker. The common hangover includes some or all of the following:

  • Headache
  • Poor sense of overall well-being
  • Sensitivity to light and sound
  • Diarrhea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Trembling
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Increased heart rate and blood pressure
  • Dehydration(dry mouth, extreme thirst, dry eyes)
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Anxiety
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Weakness


The scientific cause of a hangover:

Consuming alcoholic beverages, even in reasonable quantities, introduces ethanol (pure alcohol), and other toxins into the body.  The liver attempts to convert the ethanol and other toxins into less harmful substances and remove them from the body.  Specifically, in the liver, the enzyme alcohol-dehydrogenase oxidizes ethanol into acetaldehyde, which is then further oxidized into harmless acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.   This metabolic (degradation) process is inhibited by oxidative stress, and may not efficiently remove alcohol from the body because of too much consumption and oxidative stress.   

Rebootizer's ingredients, with their healthy anti-oxidants, can help the body counters oxidative stress* and can enable the liver to effectively convert alcohol and its hangover inducing derivatives, acetaldehydes, into harmless acetic acid. A scientific study has proven the effectiveness of Rebootizer’s ingredients on the rate of oxidization of acetaldehyde, speeding the body’s natural ability to prevent and avoid a hangover.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.


Why you Need to Understand Oxidative Stress - And How to Avoid It!

Vinny Gebhart - Tuesday, December 07, 2010

Oxidative stress, a disruption of the body’s natural generation of oxidants and the activity of anti-oxidant systems, interferes with a body’s ability to readily detoxify or easily repair the damage from exposure to Toxins.  Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the development of chronic diseases, speeds the aging process and has been proven to cause the inflammatory syndrome associated with chronic renal failure.  Oxidative stress is caused by the ingestion of toxins, as well as unhealthy living.

Thanks to its healthy antioxidants, Rebootizer can help the body to repair oxidative stress, allowing the body to combat toxins more effectively.
