Water Away - Natural Diuretic Water Pills

Today i'm talking about a supplement that has multiple health benefits.Today i'm talking about water pills and the ones i'm talking about today are Water Away from Zhou Nutrition.First let's take a look at what the benefits of water pills.


Bloating
Bloating can be caused by several factors, including too much sodium and water retention. Water pills help bloating when several glasses of water are consumed along with one or two pills. This will help eliminate excess body water.
Glaucoma
In order to prevent blindness, water pills may be prescribed to glaucoma patients. Water pills work by relieving pressure from the eyes and alleviating some of the painful symptoms of glaucoma.
Weight Loss
Many individuals use water pills as a means for weight loss. Although water pills will help in shedding a few pounds, they are not diet pills and should not be treated as such. As the name implies, water pills help reduce water from the system. Therefore, the weight lost is simply water weight.
Premenstrual Syndrome
Water pills are an effective way to relieve pain and symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome. Muscle pain, swollen breasts, cramps, muscle aches and even headaches can be relieved by the judicious use of water pills.
Energy
Since most water pills contain caffeine, many people use them as a means of a quick energy booster. Although water pills can give a much-needed energy boost, they can also cause shakes and jitters in individuals who are not used to caffeine.
Tissue Swelling
Tissue swelling, also known as edema, can be helped with water pills. Many doctors may recommend water pills over other traditional medication to help alleviate edema symptoms.
Hypertension
Water pills can help with hypertension by lowering systolic blood pressure. They are also are devoid of the negative side effects that many prescription pills for hypertension have. Another benefit is that not only are water pills less expensive than prescription medication, but they may also decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke.

And now to look at the supplements themselves and what the company's claims about these supplements are.

Patella Tendon Strap

In this blog we are gonna discuss knee pains.Wether it's from a sports injury or just everyday wear and tear on your knees the majority of us battle with knee pain in our life time.Today i'm gonna discuss the Patella Tendon Strap and the effectiveness of this one by the company StrapSnake.First though let's take a look at why you would need one of these patella tendon straps.


This write up is from physioroom.com

What are they?

Patella tendon straps provide compression around the knee that is focused on the Patella tendon (located just below the knee cap - patella). The tendon is where the quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh converge and attach to the shin bone. The level of compression can be customised by the user, in order to provide a comfortable level of support to the Patella tendon.
The compression provided by the Patella tendon strap effectively reduces the cross sectional area of the Patella tendon. This means that less force can be transmitted from the Quadriceps muscles to the Patella tendon. This has the effect of reducing the stress placed on the Patella tendon, while allowing the user to continue with their activity.

Who uses them?

Many elite athletes such as tennis pros, volleyball players and professional and college basketball players use this product, to relieve the symptoms of Patella Tendinopathy and Patella Tendonitis.
Recreational athletes who suffer from Patella tendon problems can also benefit from using a Patella tendon strap.

When to use them

For the painful symptoms of Patella Tendinopathy or Patella Tendonitis. A Patella tendon strap allows the user to continue activities that had previously been painful due to Patella Tendinopathy or Patella Tendinitis. This symptomatic relief should be backed up by a supervised rehabilitation programme that consists of 'eccentric' Quadriceps muscle strengthening.
Whatever your skill level, the approach used by Rafael Nadal is certainly effective. Whether you play tennis, basketball, badminton, volleyball, netball or are involved in cheerleading or dance, a Patella Tendon strap is appropriate to aid treatment of a Patella Tendon problem and keep you in your game.

What Conditions are they Commonly used for?

Patella Tendinopathy (also referred to as Patella Tendonitis).

So as you can see by that explanation this is used to ease pain in your knee while doing physical activities.So lets take a look at this product in depth.

The strap itself is made of a high quality material and fits a wide variety of sizes of legs.It felt good on my knee and I could feel some relief from knee pain I have had for meany years now as I went up and down stairs during the day.Felt very supportive and sturdy and like it would last the long haul of using it.Much less bothersome than typical knee braces and held onto my knee well without fears of it slipping off.

I did get this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and I stand behind every product I blog about.If you suffer from knee pain and want to purchase one of these for yourself I suggest going to thins link and buy one http://superurl7.com/49548bdff0ec3d0

Syono Full Length Orthotic Inserts and Insoles

This blog is for those of you who suffer from tired achy feet.When you're on your feet all day it can wear on your feet and leave them achy and sore and just ready to get your shoes off and feet propped up.There are a lot of shoe inserts on the market that claim to be good for your feet and allow you to have less tired and sore feet.The one i'm talking about today is the Syono Orthotic Inserts. First what the company has to say about their product in their own words below.



 INTRODUCING the ALL NEW Syono Full Length Orthotic Inserts and Insoles. A full length pair of ORTHOTIC Insoles and Inserts developed specifically for those suffering from a various degree of foot ailments as well as those seeking something with additional arch support and comfort. Helps those suffering from the following: -General ARCH, HEEL, and FOOT PAIN -OVERPRONATION, excessive inward rolling of the foot after landing. -FLAT FEET and FALLEN ARCHES by distributing and minimizing pressure in the foot by providing additional ARCH SUPPORT.

SIZE GUIDE XS - 6-7 S - 7-8 M - 8-9 L - 9-11 XL - 11-12 ALL SIZES ARE UNISEX AND TRIM TO FIT DOWN 2 SIZES





 So now that we see the companies explanation of the product let's take a look at the inserts in the pictures I took of the pair I got.I received a pair of size S 7-8 insoles in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and I only blog positively about products I have used and believe in them.

As you can see they are a good quality material and thin enough to fit in shoes but enough thickness that it's a good support for your feet.For me I trimmed it down of the two optional trim down sizes and it fit perfectly into my tennis shoes.In the shoe it doesn't feel odd at all and actually is an added comfort for me.I could instantly tell it felt a lot more comfortable as I stood and I walked around.I had a injury to my foot that has made my right foot horribly painful to be on for long but with these I felt a lot more relief like I could be on my feet with less pain and more relief cause it contours to that foot so its completely covered with support from the insole.

I've tried other insoles and they've been good but I haven't felt like they've really been fit for my specific needs as in fitting my foot just right.But with these I can say I am completely satisfied with these insoles and how well they have worked for my feet.This is just my review and my opinion on these insoles.To judge them for yourself go on their amazon page and buy a pair for yourself http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b00pv3cu18

What I also loved was the instruction manual was easy to follow and made set up very easy.Also it included the numbers for each measurement so you can compare your numbers to what they should be.Before I go on with my review here's a few words from the company explaining their product.

100 % Pure Whey Protein Isolate

Time to talk about health and fitness.In this blog I am reviewing Whey protein.This one is made by Summit Nutritions and I am trying out the vanilla flavored protein powder today.First let's take a look at the common question of what exactly is whey protein?

Whey protein is the protein contained in whey, the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese.

Whey protein is used for improving athletic performance, as a food supplement, as an alternative to milk for people with lactose intolerance, for replacing or supplementing milk-based infant formulas, and for reversing weight loss and increasing glutathione (GSH) in people with HIV disease.

Whey protein is also used for protein allergy, asthma, high cholesterol, obesity and weight loss, preventing allergies in infants, late-stage cancer, and colon cancer.

How does it work?

Whey protein is a source of protein that might improve the nutrient content of the diet. Whey protein might also have effects on the immune system.


Ok now that we know what it is let's take a look at the product itself shall we?
  • 100% BIO PURE WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE - Summit Nutritions whey protein is isolated from Whey Protein concentrate by using patented ultra-microfiltration process which preserves Natural Profile of Amino Acid unlike other whey protein isolates that denature the Protein profile by using Ion Exchange method or others. Our PROTEIN is FREE FROM PROTEIN SPIKING OR AMINO ACID SPIKING and it gives you 90% Protein per Scoop (25/27.7g)
  • HIGHEST BIOPURITY PROFILE - Summit Nutrition's Whey Protein Isolate gives 90% of protein per scoop (25/27.7g) and maximum amount (5.6 GM) of BCCAs and (4.8 GM) of Glutamines per serving size and it's ALL COMING FROM THE PROTEIN NOT EXTERNALLY ADDED. Also our protein has all 26 Full Spectrum Amino Acid Profiles including essential, semi essential and non-essential Amino Acids with 159 Biological Value and Perfect 1.0 PDCAAs Score.
  • ZERO FAT, VERY LOW CARB AND CHOLESTEROL - Summit Nutritions Whey Protein isolate has zero fat and very less, in fact less than 1% Daily Value of Cholesterol and Carbohydrate which is much better than other proteins. In addition to this, there is ZERO FILLERS OR EXCEPIENTS.
  • NON-GMO, LACTOSE FREE, SOY FREE & NATURALLY FLAVORED INSTANIZED - Summit Nutritions Whey Protein Isolate is free of Lactose, Soy Gluten, BSE/TSE, NON-GMO and naturally flavored with Stevia. The protein is gently spray dried and lecithinated into granular free flowing powder which readily dispersible in water.
  • WHAT IS PROTEIN OR AMINO ACID SPIKING??? - Many National Brands has added extra cheap Amino Acids like Taurine, Glycine, Glutamines and Creatine to the protein powders even though they are not Food Based Protein, but added to be calculated as protein to lower the cost since they are much cheaper to manufacture. There are class action lawsuits cases against those companies (Mostly National Brands). We don't MAKE PROTEIN COMPLEX Whey Protein Isolate with Whey concentrate to bring cost down. So look at your Protein supplement fact and find out what is with Protein and make your choice.

The pictures are my own and the description of the product comes from the company itself.So to test out this product myself I added it into my own morning shake.


The taste was great and it filled me up really well.Was great protein powder and not at all chalky like other protein shakes can be.Smooth and tasty you can't ask for much better in a protein powder than this.If you want to add a tasty boost to your drinks than you gotta get this protein powder.You can find it at their amazon page here http://www.amazon.com/non-protein-spiking-protein-isolate-instanized/dp/b00sqihkew/ref=sr_1_6?s=hpc&ie=utf8&qid=1423093991&sr=1-6

I got this in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and I wouldn't promote anything I didn't believe was really good.
