Help for the Holidays

Tonix Gives Help for the Holidays
It may be the season to be merry, but if you’re anything like the Tonix crew, it’s also the season to overindulge in comfort foods. Between the cold weather, the anxiety of family get togethers and the parties and events, it seems like there is always something to eat. Luckily, Tonix can help.

As a kefir, Tonix is filled with good-for-you stuff. You’ve probably heard of probiotics, the helpful bacteria that live in your digestive system. Tonix gives the probiotics a boost by acting as a catalyst. They work by transforming sugar into more good bacteria, to scrub you out and get the intestines nice and clean. As a bonus, they also have the power to increase your metabolism, digestion and eliminate excess fats before the body can absorb them. And because Tonix is coconut water, it is also significantly lower in calories than a traditional kefir.

So when do you take Tonix? There isn’t any prescription, so you can monkey around with what works best for you and your body. As far as general guidelines go, typically people begin by taking 2-4 ounces of Tonix in the evening. After that, take it whenever you feel you need some: as a precursor to heavy foods, after a filling meal, first thing in the morning or just as a pick me up. While some have been known to drink the entire 16 ounce bottle in one sitting, Chris, from the Tonix crew, feels that 8 ounces is just about all a person needs in a day. Desiree and Gary make sure to get their 4 ounces before bed every night.
While you may not be able to stop yourself from enjoying all the bounty of this time of year, Tonix can help you when over-doing it too much.

Laugh, sing, drink your Kefir and take your herbs!

Stretching into new year

2009 is fully upon us, a month of changes and resolutions. Most everyone resolves in one way or another to be more healthy. Whether its eating healthy, being financially or physically fit.
So where do we start? For me it's been about stretching, creating a regular habit of gently pushing and pulling my body to be more relaxed and pliable. Jumping into a heavy workout program can be difficult on the body, getting loose and limber is important.
Maybe your gym offers a yoga or stretch class. They probably have trainers that can help you design the work out that is best for lifestyle and physical challenges. Be specific. Do you want strength, weight loss, heart health? Too many times people jump into a workout that may injure more than heal. Spending time doing light but gradually challenging stretches creates a dialogue and first hand understanding of your bodies needs.
Their are numerous videos, books and classes available. Please feel free to share with us your favorite yoga, tai chi or Pilate's classes and forms. Desiree and Garry(founder and co-founder) are looking into classes with an 80 year old tai chi master.
