Stress is the enemy. Stress, in all its forms. Today’s top killer diseases are heart attack, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. They all include severe stress components as both cause and effect. Pollution, infections, and the pressures of modern life also stress us. It’s ironic that the health and performance issues we fear most are mitigated by simple (but not easy) choices we make. Simple choices about dealing with stress turn out to be critical decisions about health and vitality.
There is a certain choice one can make about stress that creates advantages for all health and performance. More on that ahead. To understand it, let’s start with some ancient wisdom that provides a basic key to the vitality we all want.
“Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.”
-- Hippocrates, Greek Physician (460 BC to 377 BC)
Never before in history have we been so empowered to choose -- not only wellness, but also to thrive. Daily living, especially in urban areas, has never been more stressful. Yet momentum is building in
For example, ‘natural and organic’ has become the hot new growth focus for grocery retailers. No wonder, shoppers are sending them clear messages. Doctors like Andrew Weil and Dean Ornish, and Nutritionist/Authors like Daniella Chace enjoy growing popularity as the baby boom continues to age, and folks in their prime drive for achievement, seeking an edge that will help them compete and excel.
Ancient insights are finally sinking in. We are a
If The Father of Medicine were alive today, he’d agree with these trends, though he might wonder why it took us so long to get it together.
Within this larger awareness trend, some recent key developments in nutrition are significant. In one particular approach, not only can diseases be attacked, people can gain performance advantages that bring out their personal best.
Recent developments center on neurotransmitters, the messenger molecules that carry information throughout the body’s complex, interacting systems. These have strange names like dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine. Some are surprisingly simple molecules, like nitric oxide.
These messenger substances operate every body process, from thought, to muscular exertion, to sleep. Stress and disease cause depletion of various neurotransmitters in the body. We experience this shortage as a component of fatigue and part of every disease process.
Specific nutrition has been developed that replenishes depleted neurotransmitters through the same natural processes that produce them. This form of enhanced nutrition is one of the simplest and most effective strategies for naturally strengthening against all our stressors and reaching top performance.
A revolutionary approach was developed by Robert Fogli at the California-based laboratory, Total Health. The proprietary trade name is ‘NPS,’ which stands for Neurotransmitter Pathway Support. Their distribution partner, the company Vivo Naturals, is the source for the NPS line of special foods.
Earlier, this article mentioned a simple choice concerning stress, one that creates advantages for all health and performance. Neurotransmitter replenishment is this simple choice. The breakthrough NPS approach works with neurotransmitters that are critical in a number of diseases and conditions.
NPS is also a powerful agent for generally enhanced living through higher physical and mental performance. Many people are now using this ‘natural technology’ to enrich their lives, and protect themselves against ageing and the numerous stresses that wear us down, rob our vitality, and even make us sick.
The NPS nutritionals work by providing the molecular components of neurotransmitters, while directing the body to manufacture replenishments to restore a natural balance. The foods that assist the nitric oxide pathway achieve increased blood flow in targeted body systems.
In addition to health maintenance and performance enhancement, there are various formulations for many health concerns, including wound healing, sexual function, ulcers, pulmonary problems, joint health, fertility, influenza, even alcohol and sugar cravings -- and more are being developed.
Many people already experience the benefits of NPS-powered supplements available through Vivo Naturals. Some folks who use these special foods were interviewed for this article. They are reporting numerous benefits. This is a partial list:
- greater energy and strength
- increased muscle mass
- easier control of body weight
- improved alertness, concentration, problem-solving, and creativity
- better resistance to infection, colds, flu, etc.
- a
cc elerated recovery from injuries, and some serious conditions - elimination of male erectile dysfunction
- improvement of sexual function and enjoyment in both genders
The NPS supplemental foods from Vivo Naturals achieve Hippocrates’ ancient vision by taking us beyond medicine. Users are telling us they are a key to thriving. Believers say when you make this critical decision about your health, you can gain enhanced vitality for a lifetime.
