9 Acerola Berry Benefits for your Skin

acerola berry skin benefits

Acerola Cherries offers a ton of health benefits – we all know this. But did you know that there are also acerola cherry benefits for the skin?

Yes, you read that right

This pretty little berry is packed with vitamin C and can work wonders for your skin. Here are 9 acerola berry skin benefits.

Boosts Collagen Production

Due to the acerola cherry’s very high vitamin C content, this little cherry definitely gives your body a big boost in the production of collagen. Collagen is actually a protein that keeps the skin together. Thus, it makes the skin look younger and makes sure it retains its firmness and elasticity.

One study in the American Journal of Nutrition shows that women who are over 40 and have high amounts of vitamin C in their daily diets are less likely to develop wrinkles as compared to those who consume this vitamin in lesser amounts.

Acts as an Astringent

Just like hazel, acerola berries are an astringent. This means that acerola treats skin blemishes, promotes skin elasticity and even aids with digestive issues.

Skin Protector

If you consume acerola cherry powder regularly, it will help protect your skin from chemical stressors like cigarette smoke, pollutants and allergens.

But that’s not all. Acerola cherry can help speed up repairs of wounds, burns, scar tissues and even fractures.

Fights against Skin Ageing

Bioflavonoids play a key part in delaying the signs of skin ageing like wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, laugh lines, dark spots, blemishes and so on.

Antioxidant Power

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidants that neutralizes free radicals, so your skin is less likely to get damaged.

Repairs Damaged Skin Cells

Acerola cherries also contain a healthy amount of Vitamin A, niacin, thiamin and riboflavin. These all promote beautiful and glowing skin.

Protects from Harmful UV Rays

UV rays can be very harsh to your skin. Acerola cherry protects your skin from these rays and thus protects you from damaging your skin.

Moisturizes Skin

Plenty of nutrients in the acerola cherry work together to hydrate the skin and improve its ability to retain moisture. And this works for all skin types.

Clears Up Acne and Other Skin Problems

Here’s the last of the list for acerola cherry benefits for skin. Skin problems like acne, psoriasis, and eczema are generally because of the lack of vitamin C in the skin.

Since the acerola cherry naturally has a high vitamin C content, regular consumption of this superfood will help you out with those skin issues.

Lecithin: What Is It and How Does Sunflower Lecithin Help Your Body Stay Healthy

Mr Ros Sunflower Lecithin Powder

Yesterday we talked about making your very own Lecithin Vitamin C. Today, we talk about what Lecithin actually is and how it benefits your body.

Lecithin… this is the term that defines a variety of brown or yellowish fatty substances that are naturally found in plants and animals. In the past, the only way to attain lecithin was through isolating egg yolk.

However, today, it’s a popular supplement as it helps the body in various ways – improvement in cholesterol levels, circulatory system and nervous system.

The two most popular kinds of lecithin are sunflower and soy, but they do differ from one another.

A Look At Lecithin and Why It’s So Important In The Body

Lecithin is extremely important to all cells in the body. It helps keep the cell membranes from hardening up – keeping them healthy. Simply put, a healthy cell means a healthy body.

Most of the major organs in the body – heart, kidneys and liver – produce lecithin and other similar phospholipids. However, if you want to increase your levels of lecithin, you’ll need to take a supplement.

Lecithin’s benefit extended to liver repair, from years of damage due to alcohol abuse. It also appears to help with bettering one’s memory and learning faculties.

8 Benefits Sunflower Lecithin Has On The Body

Improvement In Cholesterol Levels and Heart Health

Lecithin is extremely beneficial to your heart, inhibiting the development and reversing the damage of coronary disease. It’s a fat emulsifier the body uses to eliminate the excess fat built up in the bloodstream.

The extra fat consists of triglycerides and cholesterol that help with controlling and decreasing your cholesterol levels. How so? It’s because of the copious amounts of linoleic acid in the sunflower lecithin. Olive oil is the only other product that can mimic the linoleic acid levels. Soy lecithin has a minute amount.

A supplement of sunflower lecithin can improve the circulation of blood to inhibit blood clots from forming.

Improvement In Brain Health

If you want to improve your cognitive and neurological health, adding sunflower lecithin is one way to do this. Why? It’s loaded with essential phospholipids with nearly unpronounceable chemical names.
The body uses phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine to mend, support and generate brain and nerve cells. Various reports show that sunflower lecithin helps in better cognitive functions such as focus, memory and studying. When you can recall things – have a good memory – it means your brain is strong. There’s a possibility that sunflower lecithin can stave off various brain disorder such as:

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Parkinson’s disease
• Dementia

Improvement In Liver Health

Studies have shown that phospholipids play a role in your liver’s health. The liver is susceptible to excessive fats, which build up within the organ rather than be excreted from the body. Doctors are finding more and more people suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which can cause various conditions like liver cancer, cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes.

However, sunflower lecithin has the power to stop the buildup of these fats, so the liver stays in working order.

Offers Powerful Antioxidants

You know how important antioxidants are to the human body. Well, by adding sunflower lecithin to your diet, you’ll get a powerful dose of antioxidants by way of phosphatidylcholine. Antioxidants are important to stop the cellular damage that occurs from oxidative stress. When your cells are damaged, it can lead to cancer, heart disease and premature aging… both externally and internally.

Lowers Your Blood Pressure

As previously noted, sunflower lecithin contains linoleic acid, which can bring excess fats down such as triglycerides and cholesterol. When the body has an excessive amount of this, they attach themselves to the walls, resulting in arteriosclerosis or a thickening of the arteries. This condition leads to a higher blood pressure and, if not treated, a stroke or heart attack.

More Effective Nervous System

Your nervous system can work more efficiently because of the plethora of fatty acids, which increase nerve tissue strength and better the neurotransmitter activity. Keep in mind that your nerve fibers are a complicated network of sheaths that enable the nerve impulses to travel from location to location. If there’s a disruption in that system, your nervous system becomes affected. However, sunflower lecithin can ensure healthier nerve functions.

Aids In Wound Healing

Sunflower lecithin because of the fatty acids it contains like linoleic acid rapidly releases inflammatory transmitters to the injured parts of your body. For a more effective and quicker treatment, you can place sunflower lecithin right on minor wounds.

Arthritis Relief

Are you an arthritis sufferer? Do you suffer from some type of joint pain? If so, adding sunflower lecithin to your diet can benefit your joints, giving them the lubrication they need to relieve the aching.

In fact, a lecithin deficiency can result in stiffened joints and lead to rheumatism. By using a lecithin supplement, you can keep joint disease at bay and ease your already-existing symptoms.

Sunflower Lecithin Contains No Estrogen

Sunflower lecithin, unlike soy lecithin, has no estrogen in it. Phytoestrogen causes an overabundance of estrogen to be produced, and this can cause a multitude of metabolic problems including but not limited to:

• Weight gain
• Early menopause
• Sexual dysfunction
• Breast growth
• Autoimmune problems with the thyroid and adrenal glands

How To Safely Use Lecithin

In order to benefit from sunflower lecithin, men should take at least 600mg a day and women should take at least 500mg a day. It’s not thought that consuming more than this amount could be harmful and may actually benefit the body and mind in the short and long-term. To get the most benefits from using sunflower lecithin, males and female can take 1,200mg a day. There are a plethora of possible benefits to adding sunflower lecithin to your diet and even making your very own Sunflower Lecithin Vitamin C. Why don’t you benefit from them today?

Making Your Very Own Liposomal Vitamin C

Liposomal Vitamin C

Are you interested in making your own Liposomal Vitamin C, but are you not sure how to go about it? Below is a stellar recipe to make your very own Liposomal Vitamin C!

Liposomal Vitamin C is very effective if you want to support your health, boost your immune system and treat e.g. leaky gut. Vitamin C is one of the most widely recognized and used anti-oxidants in the world and plays an important role in the health and function of the immune cells.

Vitamin C also plays an important role in the production of collagen which is the major constituent in ligaments, bones, discs, tendons and skin. High dose vitamin C has been shown to improve the healing process of burns, cuts, wounds, sprains/strains and broken bones. It is also extremely important for the health of the eyes and many experts believe that as little as 1,000 mg of liposomal vitamin C daily may stop cataracts all together.

7 Reasons To Put Fat Into Your Protein Shake

Mr Ros MCT Oil Powder

Protein… for anybody that exercises, it’s an important nutrient for the body to recover from the workout it was given. It’s so important that many people will drink protein in the form of a shake. However, did you know that you need another important nutrient in your shake to make it even healthier? That’s right! You’re still missing a vital nutrient that makes that protein shake even healthier. That nutrient is fat!

Yes, fat! Why should you be adding fat to your low-carb, protein-laden shake?

7 Reasons Fat Is Your Friend

Energy

There’s a misnomer floating around the health community that carbohydrates are what give your body the energy it needs. Sorry to burst your bubble, but they don’t. Carbs release insulin in the body. When your blood sugar levels rise from eating carbs, the body releases insulin to address the sugar. This causes your blood sugar levels to drop… quick.

Fats, however, don’t lead to insulin release and will slow the insulin’s response to carbs and protein. Fat is what keeps you energetic. On top of that, the MCTs found in both MCT oil powder and coconut oil are rapidly absorbed into the blood, giving you an ample and steady stream of energy all day or allow you to get through a workout without a problem.

If you need to, use oil powders, as they have a fiber known substrate.

Hormones

The majority of people have no clue that the body’s hormones comprise of saturated fats. One of the most important hormones for bodybuilders is testosterone. If you consume saturated fats such as grass-fed butter, it can increase your level of testosterone and keep the hormones in check.

Better Working Supplements

Add that fat to your protein shake so that your body can better and more effectively absorb the micronutrients you consume. There are many fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D. In order to get as much nutrient absorption as you can from your protein, add coconut oil, MCT powder or butter to it.

Improvement In Gut Health

The great thing about grass-fed butter is the acid known as butyrate that it contains. Butyrate consists of healing properties that enable the inner linings of intestines to heal, ensuring that nutrients you consume are easily absorbed and decreases the chance for gut inflammation.

Burns Fat

If you consume MCTs fats, you’re giving your body a plethora of energy to use. This will cause the body to burn fat instead of storing it. Yes, fat will burn fat.

Mental Clarity and Performance

Another reason to add fat into your protein shake is the increased mental clarity and performance it adds. MCTs will travel right to your bloodstream, not the liver.

This means your body has an ample supply of energy that causes the liver to release ketones, which stimulate the brain. Add MCT oil to your coffee, hot chocolate or shake to think much clearer. Add it to a pre-workout shake so you can concentrate heavily on the workout.

Liver Health

A fatty liver comes with a host of problems to boost such as diabetes. However, fat consumption will cause the liver to release fat to reduce the chance of fatty liver syndrome. Yes, fat is a win for you and your overall health.

As you see, fat is not the bane of your existence. Your body needs it to feel and look better – to stay healthy. And, your brain needs to think a little clear. Go ahead and add a little fat to your diet today.

6 Reasons Your Dog Needs Sunflower Lecithin

Mr Ros Sunflower Deoiled Lecithin Powder

Sunflower lecithin offers us humans a plethora of benefits for the body, like improved healing and physical performance, better sleep, improvement of memory and cardiovascular function. But did you know that it also offers your pet – be it your cat or dog – health benefits?

But first, let’s talk about what lecithin is

Lecithin is a term given to describe a variety of yellowish or brown fatty substances that naturally occur in a variety of animals and plants. It was originally isolated from egg yolk. These days, lecithin is a popular supplement, especially with regard to improving cholesterol levels and improving the functions of the nervous and circulatory systems.

Lecithin is available in two variations: soy and sunflower. Both are very popular formulations, but they differ slightly from one another.

Sunflower lecithin is the more expensive option due to the differences in production costs and yield. But sunflower lecithin offers many advantages over soy lecithin:

• Sunflower lecithin is extracted without the need for potentially damaging chemical solvents such as acetone and hexane.
• Sunflower lecithin is also processed through a cold press system like the one used to derive olive oil and similar products.
• Sunflower lecithin is the only lecithin which is obtainable both chemical-free and raw.
• Sunflower lecithin is rich in choline and other essential fatty acids such as phosphatidylinositol.
• Some people may develop soy allergies.
• Soy is often genetically engineered.
• There are concerns of elevated estrogen levels by consuming soy and soy lecithin.

So, let’s talk sunflower lecithin for your pet

Sunflower lecithin acts as the body’s emulsifier by helping to dissolve fats and cholesterol. It allows oil and water to interact, and has therefore the ability to keep cholesterol particles in solution while journeying through the arteries. This stops cholesterol from forming hazardous deposits on the walls of blood vessels, which can lead to narrowing or total blockage of the vessel. Furthermore, sunflower lecithin aids in liquefying the deposits that may have already formed.

Sunflower lecithin also helps to metabolize fat in the liver and decreases the risk of liver degeneration. Sunflower lecithin is a vital component of every cell in the body, and found in high concentration in the vital organs such as the brain, heart, liver, and the kidneys. Additionally, it supports the skin, hair, and nervous system.

In the brain, lecithin choline is transformed into acetycholine, which is a vital compound for the transmission of messages from one nerve ending to another. Upon ingestion, the choline derived from sunflower lecithin is absorbed by the brain and aids in memory, thinking ability and muscle control. It also helps with absorption of vitamins A and D in the intestinal tract.

So, in short: soy-free, non-GMO organic Sunflower Lecithin is known to:

• Emulsify cholesterol
• Have a positive effect on memory, clarity and muscle control
• Assist vitamin absorption
• Be oil free
• Support the immune system and healing capabilities
• Coat health

When Should You Use Sunflower Lecithin For Your Pet?

Lecithin is already present in your pet’s body and is essential for the well being of all cells, preventing health problems.

Lecithin may also be found in a number of ingredients such as:

• Egg yolk
• Cabbage
• Split peas
• Cauliflower
• Seeds and nuts
• Fish eggs
• Organic meat
• Animal brain (i.e. chicken and sheep)
• Animal liver and kidneys

But if not consumed in sufficient amounts, your pet may easily be affected by viruses and diseases. Lecithin provides immune system support and can help when your pet is recuperating after a disease or a surgery. Lecithin also supports a healthy, shiny coat.

For dogs specifically, lecithin may be administered as a supplement for dogs that are preparing to start a training course or are on a training course. Studies have shown that lecithin improves memory and orientation and should be beneficial when your pet is learning commands and other tricks.

Acerola Fruit Offers An Array Of Health Benefits

Mr Ros Acerola

Acerola, the edible Latin American-native tropical fruit is a sour red berry that’s loaded with a plethora of vitamin C. The acerola cherry (known as Malpigha emarginata) has emerged as a powerful superfood because of the host of benefits it offers. 

This tropical superfood is considered to be one of the world’s best sources of vitamin C. For example, 100 grams equates to 1,365 milligrams of vitamin C in fresh acerola. Think of it this way: oranges have around 50 milligrams of vitamin C in every 100 grams.

Vitamin C is an extremely important nutrient, responsible for keeping your bones, skin, teeth and immune system healthy and strong. Studies have shown that it has anti-histamine properties that can help stave off or ease various kinds of allergies.

A Natural Antioxidant

The fruit’s vitamin C means it’s a natural antioxidant, which is necessary to fight against free radicals that can lead to premature aging and the chance of suffering from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and heart disease. Free radicals can occur because of normal metabolic processes, but most of them are produced because of:

〈 Air pollution

〈 Cigarette smoke

〈 Drugs

〈 Pesticides

〈 Radiation

It’s not that big of a surprise that the acerola fruit, with its copious amounts of vitamin C, that it surpasses many other fruits and berries for its antioxidant amount.  This has resulted in the development of many anti-aging products with acerola extract.

Acerola Fruit Powder Helps Better Your Eye Health

A study found in the European Food Research and Technology journal shows that acerola, whether consumed raw or in powder form, has a plethora of carotenoids like lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin and beta-carotene with levels similar to guava fruit, papaya and tomatoes.

Foods loaded with carotenoids offer an array of health benefits, but are especially known for bettering eye health. According to scientific research, the lutein and beta-carotene help stave off age-related macular degeneration, better night vision, stave off cataract development and decrease the chance for retinitis pigmentosa.

6 Reasons Phytoplankton Needs To Be In Your Diet

Mr Ros Marine Phytoplankton Powder

Phytoplankton, which is a Greek word (phyto meaning plant and plankton meaning wandering), is often mistaken as ocean plants. However, they are actually single-celled aquatic organisms that are seen in both fresh and salt water.

Phytoplankton are highly nutritious and offer an array of health benefits similar to what you see with other sea vegetables. This ocean plant is loaded with tiny bits of nutrient particles that the body can easily absorb and use on a cellular level.

The great thing about sea phytoplankton is that vegans can safely consume them with a nutritional balance that’s similar to chlorella and spirulina. In fact, it may be even more powerful than them. What are some of the benefits of consuming phytoplankton?

6 Reasons To Include Phytoplankton Into Your Diet

1. Mood Improvement

If you suffer from depression or any other mood disorder, a phytoplankton supplement can better your mood. According to a University of Utah study, patients who suffer from depression and used a phytoplankton supplement saw major improvements in their symptoms.

2. Powerful Anti-Cancer Effects

John Henkel wrote a very informative article “Drugs of the Deep: Treasures of the Sea Yield Some Medical Answers and Hint at Others.” According to the article, plankton showed some promise in the field of cancer research.

In fact, University of Rhode Island Professor Yuzuru Shumizu conducted a study that looked at sea-based organisms that showed to have anti-tumor properties. The research looked primarily at dinoflagellates, which are one-celled plankton, that has the potential to kill cancer.

3, Detoxification Abilities

Research has shown that marine phytoplankton appears to have similar detoxification effects the ocean does. Remember, the human body is comprised mainly of water. However, plasma, which is the watery part of the blood, has salt and ion levels that are close to what the sea has. It’s one of the reasons scientists and researchers have included it to the superfoods list.

4. Boosts Both The Immune System and Liver

The body absorbs phytoplankton on a cellular level, which means it doesn’t need the liver or digestive system to process it. This allows the body to attain the important nutrients even when the liver isn’t working properly. It can also boost the liver’s health without damaging the detoxification process.

5. Strengthens and Regenerates The Cells

When you use a phytoplankton supplement, it can boost the cell membrane and cause the body to produce new cells and aid in cell regeneration. Several European microbiologists, doctors and botanists found that a particularly powerful strain of marine phytoplankton, known as Nannochloropsis gaditana held a plethora of nutritional value.

This phytoplankton strain has over 65 compounds – amino acids, vitamins, essential fats, rare antioxidants, electrolytes, enzymes, nucleic acids, etc.

6. Improves Heart Function

Phytoplankton are loaded with amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals and antioxidants. These are important to maintaining a healthy heart, which is why they should be included in your daily diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are extremely important to a healthy heart, but the body is unable to produce them on its own. Therefore, you need to eat as much food or take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement to make up for it.

5 Reasons You Should Add Acai Berries To Your Diet

Mr Ros Acai Berry Juice Powder

If you’re a health food enthusiast, you may have heard of a new kind of berry to enter the market – acai berry.

Acai berries are similar to blueberries in their nutritional value. They can help stave diseases off and make your skin look its best.

However, that’s not all these little “blue” berries can do for your body, especially when consumed on a daily basis. 

What are some of the other ways in which acai berries help the human body?

5 Additional Reasons You Should Include The Acai Berry Fruit In Your Diet

1. They Can Protect You Against Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease

Acai berries are loaded with vitamin C and phenolic compounds, which are helpful in protecting the body against cancer and cardiovascular disease. Researchers carried out a 30-day study on overweight patients. The patients consumed 100 grams of acai pulp two times a day for the 30 days. The study revealed a decrease in certain metabolic disease markers levels. These markers are linked to cardiovascular disease.

2. They Give The Body More Energy.

The acai berry has many important compounds the body needs besides vitamin C including but not limited to:

  • Anthocyanins
  • Antioxidants
  • Calcium
  • Fiber
  • Iron
  • Monounsaturated fats
  • Vitamin A

Each compound provides the body with the energy it needs to face the day. They also help in overcoming overtiredness.

3. They Help With The Detoxification Process

A 2012 Sao Paulo State University study using mice found that 10 weeks of using the pulp of the acai berry could help in treating urothelial bladder cancer, DNA damage and transitional cell carcinoma. The study’s authors felt the positive treatment was the result of the acai berry’s antioxidants.

While there’s been no conclusive test that the treatment will work in humans, it may be something to consider down the line. Antioxidants are important in the detoxification process, as it cleanses the body of harmful toxins.

4. They Can Improve Your Complexion

The acai berry has proven itself to help improve complexion – skin, nails and hair. According to Dr. Lindsey Duncan, the fruit’s polyphenol antioxidants protect and fight the oxidative stress and free radicals that can speed the aging process up.

5. They Help To Boost Blood Flow

In order to stave off serious health problems, the body needs a good flow of blood circulating. Acai berries help in the regulation of blood flow, even boosting how much blood circulates in the body. With daily consumption of the acai berry, you’ll feel far more energetic and alive because the blood is moving as it should.

Acai berries are loaded with nutrients your body needs. They can be eaten fresh, frozen or in powder form – used in smoothies or other recipes. You can also get it in extract form. It’s harder to find fresh acai berries, which is why you should consider the acai berry juice powder if you plan to add the fruit to smoothies.
