Prairie Naturals Morning Rise And Shine - 252g

What is Morning Rise and Shine?
It is a product that Rosemary Pierce put together. It's an alkalizer. It's one of those products that taste great, but it also has some aloe vera in it, which actually helps as an anti-inflammatory agent to limit the inflammation that leads to tissue acidity. The product also contains a blend of mineral citrates that actually help the body to create its own buffering system, so that it can cope with its acid load.

Manganese

Manganese is a trace mineral , which means that it is only needed in very small amounts by the body. It is used to speed up chemical reactions in the body that involve energy production, fat metabolism and protein metabolism. Because it breaks down fats and proteins, it is useful for the treatment of diabetes, when fat and protein is often called upon as an energy source for the cells.

It is also part of the synthesis of bone, cartilage and joint fluid. Manganese helps to calm the nervous system, in conjunction with the vitamins of the B complex. Manganese supports red blood cells by being a component of their antioxidant defences, through the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). Manganese is used by natural health practitioners for a variety of conditions including epilepsy, diabetes, iron-deficiency anemia, and osteoporosis.

Magnesium

Without Magnesium the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses is compromised. This can lead to nervous system disorders, muscle weakness or contraction, cramps and spasms. As an example, magnesium has been shown to decrease menstrual pain by relaxing the uterine muscles. In pregnancy, magnesium acts as a uterine relaxant and can prevent premature labour.

Given its vital role in nerve and muscle function, magnesium is also an especially important mineral for heart health. Deficiency can cause abnormal heart rhythms, coronary spasms and calcification of the arteries. Studies have also shown that women, in particular, low in magnesium are at a higher risk of developing hypertension.

Magnesium deficiency has also been strongly associated with depression, as well as migraines, ADD, PMS, fibromyalgia, asthma, allergies and type II diabetes. Studies show supplemental magnesium in pregnancy also decreases the risk of birth defects such as cerebral palsy. It has been researched for its ability to protect against osteoporosis and as well support optimal cell growth.

Energy

The energy is used to power all cell processes and is the ultimate source of your body's energy. Another body system that impacts on energy is the glandular system. Picture it as the fuel injector of your body. It regulates what fuel gets into the body, which cells get the fuel and in what amounts. The blood cells are also a critical component of the body's energy system. They carry oxygen, a catalyst for many cell activities, around the body.

Lack of energy can be attributed to many causes. All of these causes must negatively impact on our body's ability to get fuel into the body, inhibit the mitochondria's ability to turn it into energy or alter the functioning of the hormonal and blood system.

Poor nutrition impacts on energy in obvious ways. If your body does not have enough raw materials to provide for it's functioning than you will feel fatigued. The standard North American diet is deficient in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It is high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and chemical additives and preservatives. These substances not only do not give your body usable energy, but they also inhibit the use of good quality food by depleting enzymes and hormones necessary for energy conversion. The body must also deal with the toxic by-products of foods like bleached flour and sugar, artificial sweeteners and flavours and trans-fatty acids. Energy expenditure is funnelled towards detoxification of these substances instead of growth, cell replication and metabolism.

The type of food that you eat also affects energy by providing short, intense bursts of fuel for the cells or sustained, steady fuel release. Simple sugars or carbohydrates are quickly absorbed by the body and go into the bloodstream for immediate use for cells. This accounts for the energy burst you feel after eating a sugary snack. It also accounts for the fatigue that comes on a few minutes after the sugar is used up. These fluctuations in blood sugar are hard on the body because it stresses the system. Hormones are rapidly used up when sugar saturates the bloodstream but when it comes time to replenish the supply the body has low amounts of energy to use for this purpose. Its like making the body do multiple sprints instead of letting it lope along at a comfortable rate. The brain uses only the sugar, glucose, for energy. At some time or another everyone has felt the foggy feeling in the head caused by low blood sugar. This is proof that fluctuating blood sugar is not conducive to optimal brain functioning.
