Sweet Potatoes Are For More Than Holidays!

By Ultalife Health, NutritionNo Comments

I love sweet potatoes!! I know some people want a baked sweet potato drenched in butter…or a sweet potato casserole loaded with butter, brown sugar and marshmallows! And I agree—those are YUMMY!

Personally, I love a sweet potato baked—just like it is. It is full of nutrition and one food we should have in our diets more frequently. This edible tuberous root is long and tapered and the flesh can range in colors. The sweeter ones have red, pink or orange flesh.

Ultalife Colon Cleanse

Why Colon Cleanse?

As an endoscopist I see the inside of Colons weekly, many despite the Colon Prep that

we suggest are still coated with mucous, film or fecal material. The Colon’s main function

is to absorb water, so if it is coated with an oily mucous film, that makes it difficult for

water to permeate. A routine Colon Cleanse helps to clear the intestine of residual

undigested matter and improve it’s ability to absorb nutrients.

Nutrition and Supplements Work Together

By Ultalife Diet, NutritionNo Comments

My friend, Susie, and her husband, Bill, have been married just a few years and have busy lives with work, home and their two small children. Bill seems to get some problem every few weeks—a virus, a rash, a cold, lack of energy, etc. Susie is really into nutrition and plans to start him on a diet which she believes will make him better.

Hmmm….so I paid attention to the diet. I could use more energy!! It is simple—for 30 days–no sugar and no processed foods. Initially, I thought it sounded simple until I really started thinking about it. Even when I cook at home, I often use prepared foods in my recipes. Could I even use bottled tomato juice or chicken broth from a carton? How about canned soups, bread….I guess a cake mix is out of the question. And then my favorite condiment is ketchup—-full of sugar and processed!!

So even though I am sure we would be more healthy without ANY sugar and ANY processed foods, I am just not sure I could follow that regimen for 30 days—maybe 1 or 2 days.

And this is exactly why UltaLife offers quality supplements for whatever ails you!! The
