Got a sweet tooth? Some tips to curb your sugar cravings

Image Credit mirror.co.uk


Most people couldn’t afford to recoil at the sight of their favourite red velvet cake, ice cream, or gelato. With the holidays coming around, it’s highly likely that people will fill this season with lots of cheat days in which they’d give in to the desires of their sweet tooth. Unfortunately, the effects of indulging excessively on sugary food aren’t something to be jolly about. Excess sugar is said to weaken one’s immunity, alter people’s mood, lead to obesity, and increase risk for serious health conditions.

Here are some of the ways to help people curb their sweet cravings:


• Limiting sugar intake to 12 teaspoons or less everyday.

• Resorting to healthy sweet substitutes, which include fruits and nutrient-infused smoothies like Youth Juice.

• Doing at least 30 minutes of physical activity on a daily basis.

• Drinking lots of water.

• Avoiding ‘fat-free’ or ‘low-fat’ food as these contain more sugar to compensate for the loss of flavour from fat.

• Staying happy and trying to discover the sweetness of life.

The health and wellness experts behind the breakthrough supplement Youth Juice would say that reversing the damage caused by excessive intake of sugar starts with proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle. Usually, nutritionists recommend a diet high in antioxidants to cleanse and detoxify the body of harmful substances. They may advise people to eat vegetables like artichokes, beans, and asparagus, and fruits such as berries, lemon, and apples and to stay focused on reaching their health goals.

Pro-health microorganisms: YJ Sciences' guide to probiotics

YJ Sciences’ Reshape Whole Food Smoothie contains, among others, the healthy goodness of yogurt which is essential for maintaining and restoring healthful intestinal flora.

A useful nutritional adjunct in one’s diet, this beverage contains one billion probiotics per serving. The probiotic properties of Lactobacillus fermentum, known as the friendly bacteria, help achieve healthy gut flora balance. In addition to creating passable stools, the gut bacteria provides a myriad of benefits to promote overall health and longevity, which is why re-balancing the intestinal flora has never been more significant. The gut flora synthesizes biotin or vitamin B-7, vitamin B-12, and vitamin K to prevent diabetes, ulcer, stroke, autoimmune and degenerative disorders, and other conditions.

The Lactobacillus fermentum contained in YJ Sciences’ Reshape Whole Food Smoothie has also been found to significantly attenuate the risk of gastrointestinal and upper respiratory tract infections by controlling the commensal microflora. A well-maintained intestinal flora is essential for preventing constipation, colon cancer, and yeast infection inside the vagina and the mouth.

It’s good to know that each serving of the dairy- and soy-free Reshape Whole Food Smoothie provides 20 percent of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of fiber, which also plays a role in good digestive health. Some types of fiber are called prebiotic, which means they feed the healthy intestinal bacteria all the while helping them to reproduce. In case the intestinal flora is killed by antibiotics, medical procedures, and laxatives, fiber can be recommended as a good replacement for the bacteria to form passable stools.

Beating cancer in children: Bob Edwards and YJ 4 Kidz

Bob Edwards is a successful entrepreneur specializing in health products. He and his co-founder Lynda Perry started YJ 4 Kidz, an initiative that directs 50 percent of annual corporate profits derived from the sales of YouthJuice products to chosen charitable institutions. One of the initiative’s projects is the Lynda Perry Oncology Fund.

Cancer is seemingly an unstoppable force. It chooses no one and does not discriminate against gender, race, or age. Even children are vulnerable to this deadly disease that takes almost 1,500 lives every day in the United States alone. Leukemia, a type of cancer of the blood, is among the most common forms of cancer that strikes children.

Bob Edwards had these children in mind when he and Lynda Perry, his co-founder for YJ Sciences, established YJ 4 Kidz. Perry began the Lynda Perry Oncology Fund as part of the initiative with a view of assisting young children with leukemia and lymphoma. LPOF is being coordinated through over 35 member health institutions all over the United States.

Leukemia is just one of the cancers plaguing children. Another type of cancer found among children is neuroblastoma, a malignant tumor that develops from nerve tissue. It can occur in several areas of the body, though most begin in the adrenal gland, which is close to the spinal cord.

The causes are unknown, though most neuroblastomas are diagnosed in children before the age of five. It affects one in every 100,000 children, with males only slightly outnumbering females. Surgery is sometimes enough to eliminate the cancer, and chemotherapy and radiation therapy are more commonly needed after. Autologous stem cell transplantation is being studied as an option for high-risk conditions among children.

Always wired: Bob Edwards on health and work-related stress

Your job, no matter how interesting it is, tends to set your body in a unique trance – that state where it is compelled to perform beyond its limits. Bob Edwards, the man behind Youth Juice, a powerful nutraceutical beverage, would likely agree with the fact that taking work too far could lead to serious health conditions.

Being a workaholic is believed to stem from a variety of reasons --- the need for money and recognition or the pursuit of a dream or passion. Generally, the effects of hustling toward a goal are fine for the health. When the body is in work mode, the sympathetic nervous system and stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol become activated, setting off ‘fight or flight’ response to physical and mental threats.

YJ Sciences, founded by Bob Edwards, is a health and wellness company focused on providing quality dietary supplements and creating business opportunities for a more secure financial future.

Meanwhile, the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for resting and digesting. It functions to turn the stress dial down and shift the body back to balance. Things like listening to music, taking warm baths or a massage, and breathing deeply help the body return to its parasympathetic mode. But workaholics hardly find the time to do these and are always under constant stress, making them vulnerable to fatigue and long-term illnesses that could affect their memory and immune system.

A great way to conquer work-related stress is finding balance between career and doing things one loves. Breaking the work cycle can go a long way. After all, people work to live, not the other way around.

Emphasis on nutritional stress: Bob Edwards and the wisdom of whole foods

Bob Edwards heads YJ Sciences, a whole foods company focusing on specially formulated dietary supplements based on berries and sea vegetables.

Nutritional stress is defined as the inadequacy of essential nutrients in a person’s overall nutrition. It comprises about 40 percent of the body’s overall stress, and could lead to certain health hazards, including chronic fatigue and an inability to control one’s weight. Nutritional stress may be caused by a variety of triggers, mainly the things a person eats. Overly processed food, for instance, is a typical cause.

While vegetables and fruits are good, those grown doused in chemical pesticides and herbicides pose a great threat to a person’s general well-being. Bob Edwards might recommend his line of whole food dietary supplements, all made to relieve nutritional stress.

Low supplies of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber, as well as fatty acids and probiotics may exacerbate nutritional stress. Dietary supplements are helpful in providing for these, or making up for their absence, while controlling any unfavorable effects of eating acid-forming foods.

Although it makes up a good part of a person’s overall stress levels, nutritional stress is largely unaccounted for. Psychological, emotional, and financial stressors are given more attention, although they reportedly amplify nutritional stress instead of being on top of the hierarchy of stressors.

Considering that nutritional stress forms a significant part of a person’s stress levels, relieving this stress is also significantly beneficial. A reduced biological age, longer life expectancy, and increased levels of energy, strength and endurance are among these benefits. Even in the state of rest, a person with low nutritional stress levels can achieve higher quality deep sleep than one with high stress levels.

Always tired? YJ Sciences explains chronic fatigue syndrome and the key to lasting energy

Bob Edwards Image credit: fibroself-help.com


Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating epidemic triggered by a wide range of causes which include medical conditions, lifestyle choices, and stress and emotional concerns. YJ Sciences, a health and wellness company, offers a glimpse of silver lining in the prevention of a syndrome that has plagued the world for many years.



Bob Edwards Image credit: blog.medbroadcast.com


In the 1980s, fatigue was referred to as the ‘yuppie flu,’ a term describing a flu-like condition endemic among young professionals aged 25 to 45 years old. In an effort to give clarity to the nature of what was known as ‘mental bruise,’ the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has defined CFS as a “debilitating and complex disorder characterized by profound fatigue that is not improved by bed rest and that may be worsened by physical or mental activity.” With work hours getting longer, commitments getting tougher, and stress getting more unmanageable, will people ever be able to lead a healthier life?



Bob Edwards Image credit: zaksztor.files.wordpress.com


 For YJ Sciences, the answer is yes. Among the secrets to a healthier life include good nutrition and exercise which fight fatigue more than stimulants can. Simple exercises such as stretching and brisk walking contribute to good blood circulation, while a good diet prevents nutritional stress and deficiency. To ensure optimum health and vitality, it’s important to make all-natural food supplements, such as YJ Sciences’ breakthrough product YouthJuice™, a part of one’s diet.

Through a million-dollar grant from Bob Edwards and Lynda Perry, YJ 4 Kidz started with the Lynda Perry Oncology Fund and later, the TACL Program in Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia & Lymphoma. The latter -- which is being coordinated through the BC Children’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and 33 member institutions throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil -- was designed to advance the lives of young people suffering from leukemia and lymphoma through the development of technologies that are capable of preventing the reoccurrence of these diseases later in life.
