Microbiome Plus+ Heart Probiotic-Review + Giveaway

*Microbiome Plus+ Heart Probiotic-Review

I am constantly looking for new supplements to try that can assist with heart health and maintain my cholesterol levels.  Unfortunately, a range of heart issues and high cholesterol levels runs in my family and those issues are being treated with prescription medication.  At 41, I am at risk for those hereditary issues and I am trying to avoid taking prescription medications so that is why look to taking supplements as a more natural alternative.

This Microbiome Plus+ Heart Probiotic supplements is a perfect choice since it provides the full American Heart Association daily dietary recommendation of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.  Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have also been shown to maintain healthy triglyceride levels.

This supplement may reduce coronary heart disease risk, it helps support healthy cholesterol and triglycerides, supports normal inflammatory response, supports healthy blood pressure and also helps support healthy bile metabolism.

As someone who has concerns with heart & high cholesterol issues I am impressed with the quality of this supplement and will continue to take it.  I have had success in lowering my cholesterol levels with diet and other supplements so I am really interested to see what my test results will be in the future!

Microbiome Plus+ is nice enough to sponsor a giveaway for my readers so I will be giving away a 4 box supply of their Heart Probiotic.  The giveaway starts 03/23/15 @ 1:00 p.m. PST and ends 03/30/15 @ 1:00 p.m. PST.  If you do have a need for these enter for a loved one that does!

Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics-Review

*Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics

I am a huge fan of Matcha Green Tea because of all the health benefits it provides.  Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics helps reduce stress levels, helps focus the mind, and provides all-day energy and it also helps boost metabolism.  The Organic Matcha Green Tea provides antioxidants that are essential as you age to boost your body's natural defenses against oxidation.  Scientists have also discovered that Matcha Green Tea helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays, while improving blood flow and oxygen levels lifting the overall quality of the skin.  This is seriously great stuff!

This Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder by Kiss Me Organics is very high quality and although this tea is ideally taken with just water because of its sweeter, and smoother taste.  Not only do I like to enjoy the a nice cup of warm Organic Matcha Green Tea I also like to add it to my morning smoothies, especially my green smoothies!

Fractionated Coconut Oil by Pure Body Naturals-Review

*Fractionated Coconut Oil by Pure Body Naturals

Up until a few months ago I had never even heard of Fractionated Coconut Oil and now I've become slightly obsessed with the stuff!  Thankfully, Pure Body Naturals sent me some of their Fractionated Coconut Oil to feed my obsession.

Fractionated Coconut Oil has so many different uses.  If you love using regular Coconut Oil then you definitely need to get your hands on some Fractionated Coconut Oil.  It has all the great benefits of regular Coconut Oil but is stays in liquid form so it's perfect for when you want to add some essential oils to it.  I love using my Fractionated Coconut Oil as an all-over body moisturizer and in the mornings I like to add a little Jasmine essential oil to it.  I love the smell of Jasmine and this way I get to smell the lovely scent of it throughout the day while my skin stays super moisturized and feels super soft.  In the evenings, after I take a shower or bath I mix some Lavender essential oil in with the Coconut Oil so I stay nice and hydrated all night long and then Lavender scent helps me relax.

The Fractionated Coconut Oil also works really well as a massage oil and it's nice to mix in a little Lavender or any other essential oil with a relaxing or calming effect.

Check out purebodynaturals.com and you can purchase the Fractionated Coconut Oil on Amazon.com or use the link below...

Triphala Cleanse by Healthnex Supplements-Review

*Triphala Cleanse by Healthnex Supplements

Here is a cleanse that I had never heard of before and was curious to try.  Healthnex Supplements sent me their Triphala Cleanse a few weeks ago to test out and since I had never heard of Triphala before I was interested to see how it compared to other cleanses that I have tried.

Naturally, I had to do a little research about Triphala and found out that it has been used in Ayurcedic Medicine for hundreds of years to treat all kinds of digestive problems.  In addition, Triphala is actually a blend of the 3 Indian Ayurvedic herbs, Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki.  The Amalaki is an anti oxidant which helps get rid of any inflammation in your body, especially in the digestive tract and increasing lean body mass as well as helping you control your blood sugar.  Bibhitaki gets rid of all the extra fat and water in your cells.  Finally, Haritaki helps get rid of any toxins in your colon.

I liked that this cleanse was really easy to do since you just take 2 of the capsules before bed and there are no uncomfortable side effects.  Since I do cleanses on a regular basis I didn't notice any significant weight loss but I did feel like it helped with my cravings so that's a bonus!

Fitness Friday-Using Pinterest to Stay in Shape!

I must say I am a bit of a Pinterest addict!  It has got to be one of the best inventions ever, next to the Internet, email and Post-It notes!

I use Pinterest to save recipes, skin care/makeup articles & products, blog ideas, home decor and a handful of other things but one of my favorite ways to utilize Pinterest is to save fitness & workout articles, videos and challenges.  

Any workout or challenge that I want to try I simply save to my "Fitness" Pinterest board.  It is such a great way to keep my workouts fresh and new.  I add new workouts almost daily so if you are looking for ways to stay in shape and stay motivated make sure you follow GlamRiver on Pinterest or you can also just follow my Fitness Board!  (I also pin a lot of healthy recipes to my Food board so that would be another good one to follow!)
