DID YOU KNOW?

Spray nutrition works 10 times as fast with 1/10 the amount!  Because spray nutrition is absorbed immediately in the back or side of your mouth, it doesn’t depend on getting through the digestive processes. The active ingredients are ingested (absorbed) into the body within seconds – versus tablets, capsules and even liquid vitamins or supplements.  This is the key benefit to spray nutrition, which can be in the form of multi-vitamins, immune support for colds, weight loss, even anti-aging and energy formulas.

 

BENEFITS OF SPRAY NUTRITION

 

CONVENIENCE:

They are easy to use anytime, anywhere because no water is needed! The dispensers fit neatly in your purse or pocket.

 

HYGENIC:

Spray nutrition comes in an anti-microbial container to deliver clean, sanitary and germ-free ingredients directly from the container to your mouth.

 

PURITY:

They contain no fillers or binders, no artificial coloring or flavors, no coatings or capsules – only pure nutritional ingredients!  They are excellent for individuals with chemical or digestive sensitivities, or for anyone who wants to avoid “extra” ingredients.

 

POTENCY:

Opening a bottle of pills causes oxidation and the loss of nutritional value, which means you are not getting the amount of nutrition you anticipated. With Spray Nutrition, you get the potency you expect.

 

EASY TO TAKE:

No pills to swallow! Great for those unable to swallow pills: infants, children, elderly, physically impaired, those with digestive problems, and the sick.

 

FAST ACTING:

Nothing beats the absorption or speed of spray nutrition!  It works 10 times as fast with 1/10 the amount. 

 

Spray nutrition is perfect to simplify your life, to make packing for trips easier, and to keep on hand for emergencies or natural disasters.   Heartland offers exceptional value in spray nutrition.  To review our different formulas, click on http://www.heartlandnatural.com/sprynut.htm.

IN THE NEWS

From the University of California, Irvine:

High-fat diet protects newborn brain from seizure damage, study suggests

Irvine, Calif., February 28, 2003
Medical advice rarely supports a high-fat diet, but a team of UC Irvine researchers has found that such a diet protects newborn brain cells from damage caused by prolonged seizures.

New findings from a study on infant rats suggest that the high-fat diet of newborns, and the related increased production of a specific protein, protects their brain cells from damage that otherwise may accompany prolonged seizures. The finding may lead to new strategies to prevent brain injury in adults.

Seizures affect one in every 25 infants and children and over one percent of all adults, where they may be associated with progressive loss of brain volume. Therefore, understanding how the immature brain prevents seizure-induced cell injury or death could point the way for researchers to develop new strategies aimed at preventing such damage in the mature brain.

Feed your brain!  Get your “GOOD FAT” from Heartland’s Golden Omega Flaxseed.  Besides super nutrition for yourself and your family, breastfeeding babies can benefit too.  Nursing mothers can provide newborns with more high-quality essential fatty acids by consuming flax as part of their regular diet.  For more information, call Heartland’s helpline at 1-888-772-2345 today.

 

 

ALKALIZING YOUR BODY

One of the best ways to make a food alkaline is to sprout it!  This is especially true with beans. 

You may not eat garbanzo “sprouts” per se, but by sprouting them before cooking, they become more alkaline and cook faster.  Humus recipes can also be made with raw garbanzo beans by sprouting the garbanzos first.  Many different kinds of seeds can be sprouted and eaten as sprouts with a much wider variety of flavors than just alfalfa sprouts.  Try radish sprouts or broccoli sprouts for a nice kick to your salad, and a powerhouse of alkalinity.  Also, almonds become more alkaline by hydrating them (soak RAW almonds in water for 12 hours, throw away the water, and enjoy an easier to digest, more alkaline nut!)

 

ALKALINE HIGHLIGHT:  Dried Beans*: aduki, black, broadbean, garbanzo, kidney, mung, navy, pinto, red and white beans all rate a 3.5.  Lentils rate a 3.0.

 

ACID HIGHLIGHT: Sprouted Dried Beans.  Sprout your dried beans and they become alkaline-forming at a 5.0!  Mung beans and lentils make great sprouts for eating as sprouts.  Other dried beans cook faster and are easier to digest by sprouting prior to cooking.

 

*Note: Dried soybeans and other soybean products rate slightly alkaline-forming at a 4.5!  Dried soybeans become a 6.5 after sprouting.
