Products: Ultra Diet

A Very Big Issue

It's no secret that obesity is a huge problem facing most Western countries today.

Some sobering statistics from the 2006/2007 New Zealand Health Survey showed that:

• One in four adults were obese (26.5%)
• 41.7% of Māori adults were obese
• 63.7% of Pacific adults were obese
• 11% of Asian adults were obese

...scary stuff.

Which is why New Image have developed the Ultra Diet.


Products available as part of this diet plan include:


Ultra Diet 2

A carbohydrate controlled programme, based on research from the Harvard Medical School and developed in association with Dr. Peter Vash, a leading Los Angeles specialist in eating disorders and obesity.


The Ultra Diet contains all of the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids required for proper nutrition, together with high quality protein and natural fibre.

More information on the diet is available by email. Please contact me on colostrumforme@gmail.com for more info.

RRP: $69.75/420gm can + P&P














Fibre Max

Fibre not only helps keep your bowels regular, it also helps detoxify the body and improve intestinal health - which leads to better overall health.

This is a blend of chicory root extract, psyllium, soy fibre, oat bran, and pectin, and is tasteless and odorless meaning you can add it to drinks or to foods in baking.


RRP: $64.40/420gm can + P&P




Gymnema

Gymnema sylvestre is a well-respected ancient Indian plant used in Ayurvedic medicine (the traditional, ancient medicine system of India), which contains a substance that blocks the absorption of sugar in the digestive tract. This results in less sugar entering the blood stream and less calories being ingested which leads to controlled weight loss. Also contains 50mg fenugreek and 50mg psyllium powder.

RRP: $57.45 for 90 capsules + P&P


Lite Seasoner

Too much Sodium in our diet can cause a myriad of health problems, yet it adds flavour... Lite Seasoner is a potassium-based mineral seasoner with only a fraction of the sodium content of ordinary salt.


RRP: $9.20/100gm jar + P&P



Ketone sticks

An essential part of the Ultra Diet programme, Ketone Sticks enable you to monitor weight loss.

More product profiles

Time for some more product profiles.

Whilst New Image has a big focus on colostrum and colostrum products, there are also a range of other products available to aid your health and keep our bodies as healthy and strong as possible. These are some of what's available in the rest of the range....

....as well as the skincare and household products available to provide a total package of health!!

For ease of use I'll post them all in separate entries.

Early November Update

Just a quick update today, since it's a new month. Firstly, I'd like to apologise for being more quiet in recent weeks - I'm in the middle of exams and assignments at uni, which means everything else gets put aside momentarily in the frantic scramble to meet deadlines and finish the year. But there are only four weeks to go, which is great! Terrifying, but great. So things might get a bit quiet around here for a while... and now you know why.

I hope everybody is happy and well - have a great November!

To your health,
Erin

How To Order

I figured I should probably give a better run-down of how to order from this site... so here goes!!

1 - Email me colostrumforme@blogspot.com with your name, address, what you would you like, and absolutely any questions you might have - I'm more than happy to help, and if I don't know the answer, I'll find out!!

2 - I'll answer your questions, we can arrange payment [usually by bank deposit in NZ] and shipping, and once the payment is received I'll send it off. This usually means it will arrive within 1-3 working days within NZ, or if I don't have the product in stock, 3-5 working days after payment. Shipping times and prices vary with overseas payments, depending on destination.

3 - I'll usually send a follow-up email after a couple of weeks to see how it's going and make sure everything is ok.

4 - I can also combine shipping on orders.

I'd love to hear your testimonials too! One of my favourite parts of being a student naturopath is hearing how people's health is improving. So please feel free to email them to colostrumforme@gmail.com.

Happy ordering!!

Products: Beautiful skin - 30,000 years in the making

Summer is here at last! I'm sure we can all feel the magic in the air as we wake up to these beautiful sunny mornings; the birds are singing, the flowers are in bloom, and the air seems that much warmer by the day.

So who wouldn't want beautiful skin to show off in the season of Christmas, parties, and frivolity?

Allow me to introduce another aspect of the New Image colostrum range: Bio-Rejuv.

What is it?

Bio-Rejuv is a range of skincare products, incorporating the wonderful healing properties of pure New Zealand Alpha Lipid colostrum, with Austrian Moor essence from the Neydharting Moor.

Moor essence?

The foothills of Austria are home to an area known as the Neydharting Moor, a beautiful area with a lake of black water, renowned since ancient times for its powerful healing properties. A spa has been located here for around 5,000; amongst its more illustrious users have been Napolean and Louis XIV, and the famed 16th Century physician and alchemist Paracelsus based his theory of the Quinta Essentia on what he found in the ecology of this area!

Moor essence is a thick, black organic peat collected from the area under the auspices of the Insitute of Hygiene of the University of Vienna, formed over 30,000 years from the unique botanicals found in this special place. Essence from this Moor is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant hormones, fatty acids, and trace elements, all predigested as a result of the microbial action that occured during the last ice age and highly assimilable by the skin. Over 700 herbs, flowers and plants, sealed in by the last ice age, have gone into this legendary substance, making it a true example of nature's magic.

...and Colostrum.

Colostrum is a powerful substance, straight from nature. The colostrum used in these products is especially high in components beneficial to your skin.

With your powers combined....

This is beautiful skin! Holistic, synergistic, and all-round fabulous. With 70% active ingredient and a soap-free formulation that encourages detoxification, deep cleansing, and calming of skin, this is a power-packed colostrum-and-Moor-filled punch of a skincare product.

And my seal of approval!

A note for those concerned about chemical sensitivity: I've suffered from sensitive skin for years - everything seems to irritate it. And over the past few years, I've developed a kind of chemical sensitivity. If I'm around most cleaning products, I get dizzy, weak, ill, and extremely 'brain-fogged'. Most skincare products make my skin break out, go flaky, itch, burn, and generally make its disagreement known pretty loud and clear. There are very few ranges I can use without a reaction, and this is one of them. So while I can only speak for myself, and I make no guarantees, I will happily vouch for this.


Keep an eye out for more individual product info on this lovely range coming soon to this blog.

Spotlight on... New Image group

So, you might have noticed the words 'New Image' preceding 'Alpha Lipid' throughout this blog. And you've probably picked up that it's the company behind these fantastic products.

Recipe: Alpha Lipid LifeLine & Banana Smoothie

Erin demonstrates how to make a fantastic Alpha Lipid LifeLine, Banana and Honey Smoothie. Use this as the basis of many variations of smoothie. This tastes amazing, has all the goodness of Alpha Lipid LifeLine, the antibacterial properties of NZ Manuka Honey, the potassium and fibre content of bananas, and the calcium, vitamin D, and fat content of milk.

Ingredients:

2 Bananas
1-2 cups milk
Dessertspoon of Manuka Honey (or other dark bush honey)
2 scoops Alpha Lipid LifeLine colostrum powder

Serves: 2-3

Notes...

• Add ground Flaxseeds/Linseeds for added Omega 3 fatty acid content; something most people are greatly lacking in today's diet, and to add mucilage
  
  
• Add psyllium husks to bulk it out and add fibre for those with digestive troubles
  
  
• Add avocado for a dose of good fats, and to add even more to the creamy texture
  
  
• Add ice in summer for cooling and crunch-factor
  

In this video I used raw milk. I love raw milk - i.e. unpasteurised, whole milk - as it's super creamy, full of fat - which makes you feel fuller for longer - contains enzymes to help digestion, and often other good bacteria to boost immunity and gut health. As I've said previously, my personal philosophy on health is that the closer something is to nature, the better it's going to be for you.

If you can't get hold of raw milk - and if you do use it, I recommend you visit the farm and ensure the cows are healthy and raised organically, to make sure you don't end up sick from it! - then whole pasteurised milk is the next best thing.

For those who are lactose intolerant, I've used both rice milk and almond milk before with this recipe and they taste great too.

The honey I've used here is organic manuka honey. Manuka honey is made from the flowers of the NZ Manuka (Tea) Tree, and is renowned globally for its high levels of antibacterial properties. It's one of nature's greatest healers for wounds and burns, and is used in hospitals to fight MRSA infections. If you can't get hold of this, then any other dark bush honey will be fine.
NB - Never heat honey as it destroys the beneficial enzymes.

• To fight against hayfever, use honey as local to you as you can find. It will contain local pollen and help you build an immunity to the allergens, so you don't suffer all summer long

And one final note; this actually made enough for 2-3 servings, not one as I originally intended to make in the video!!
