Beaufort Health and Fitness: Magnesium
Beaufort Health and Fitness: Magnesium
“Hey guys! Ben here, Precision Nutrition Coach. And, today again I’ll be talking about supplements. The supplement I’d like to speak about today is actually it’s a mineral. And it’s actually deemed to be “miracle mineral”, that is how beneficial it is for you. This mineral in particular is used for over 300 different cellular processes in the body; so that’s just how important it is. It is used for everything in the body. The problem however is almost everybody is deficient. You can go out and buy a magnesium supplement. However, the probability that it all gets absorbed in the body is very low because most magnesium supplements are the wrong and they also have a poor absorption rate. Go out and look at just a regular product like a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral. Look down the label the mineral, look at the magnesium. I am almost a hundred percent sure it’s going to say magnesium oxide and what magnesium oxide is go back to your days when you’re in high school or college. Remember when your professor gave you that strip of magnesium, the metal strip. They told you why they don’t fire, you lit it on fire because it’s very fun it burned up. What was left over? it was a bunch of cinders, little bits and pieces. That is magnesium oxide.It’s the waste product of a burned magnesium. So that’s actually what is in those mineral supplements and a lot of magnesium supplements.
However, here at EarthFIT we have Pico-Ionized Magnesium supplement. What happens is it’s actually the highly beneficial magnesiums that your body requires and the pico-ionization, it makes the magnesium particles very very tiny. This is beneficial for you because what’s going to happen is there’s tiny particles as soon as you take in the magnesium they get sent right into a digestion and assimilation. So they go right into the body, right into the bloodstream and the Pico-Ionization is also very important because as soon as it gets assimilated into the bloodstream wherever you’re deficient in the body, any part of the body. Your body is able to recognize that and send that particular magnesium right to those areas. So, let’s say your arm muscles or your leg muscles it gets sent right to those areas or even your organs as well.
Now, you may be asking why do I need magnesium? Magnesium because like I said earlier, it is used for so many processes in the body. When you’re deficient almost everything in the body is running sub-optimum. So, when you could be running at 100% if you don’t deficient in magnesium, you might be running at 80% or 70% or even less. Think of this in terms of an analogy of a car without the oil in it or without an update on the car. It’s running suboptimally when it could be running much better. This is your body without magnesium.
So by taking a magnesium, you’re going to increase your protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is the building of muscles. So you’re coming in doing your EarthFIT workouts and your building muscles so you can burn more fat and get stronger. By taking a magnesium, you can increase your protein synthesis, it also increases the assimilation, digestion and absorption of your different nutrients so it breaks down fat in the body; so, it breaks down your carbs, fats and proteins. Your goal in here a lot of you is burn fat so it’s helping you burn more fat. It also helps detoxify the body as well so this will help cleanse everything out, give you regular bowel movements. A lot of people when they are not having magnesium they have irregular bowel movements, it is because everything is tensed up. A
magnesium is known as the calming herb. So by calming everything, it helps relax away things in the body so it helps the muscles relax and you can have a regular bowel movements. So that is one of the benefits as well.
Another benefit of it being the calming mineral is that being very calming it decreases the stress in the body, it is a natural relaxant so it can promote better sleep. And then also because you are coming and doing the hard training sessions here at EarthFIT, every time your muscle contracts it uses calcium but when it needs to relax it requires magnesium to relax so you might get cramps, this is an imbalance of the calcium and magnesium ratios. But also because during the workouts you are using calcium, magnesium, calcium, magnesium every time you contracts and relax the muscle it depletes the minerals in the body. So after a workout your minerals have been depleted along with your proteins and other nutrients in the body. This is why after your workout you need proteins and other things like that but because you depleted the minerals that stores you now depleted it, you need to replenish them after the workout. So again, this is Ben, a Precision Nutrition Coach talking about the magnesium supplements.”
Beaufort health and fitness: Omega 3
Beaufort health and fitness: Omega 3
“Hey guys! Ben here, Precision Nutrition Coach. I’m going to be talking to you again about supplements today. The supplement I’d like to speak with you about today is going to be highly beneficial for you because what happens is a lot of people they have a lot of joint inflammation; their shoulder hurts; their back hurts; there are people walking around their knees hurt. Essentially, you can almost ask any different person they’re going to say this hurts and you ask them why they’re like it’s inflamed. So with this supplements going to help you do is decrease the amount of inflammation in your body while also helping you burn more fat.
The reason people aren’t getting enough of this is because we are eating too much of the wrong foods. The supplement I am specifically talking about is an Omega 3 which comes from fish oils – that’s the one we’re going to be talking about today. The reason people aren’t getting enough omega 3s is they’re eating too many omega 6, it skews with the balance of the omega 6 and omega 3 ratio. Way, way back in our ancestors past and everything, we used to eat a lot more fish and things that had omega 3s in it. Now we eat a lot of meat products and things like oils and all the processed foods so that pushes the omega 6 ratio. So the ratio you want to have is about 4:1. Right now most people are eating a 20:1 or 40:1. So, not getting nearly enough omega 3s and getting way to omega 6’s.
The reason this causes the problem is the omega 6 is causing the inflammation in the body, they cause restriction of the blood vessels, they cause coagulation in the blood, they cause restriction in the airways and they cause the pain in the joints where the omega 3s do the complete opposite. They are anti-inflammatory, they are anti coagulants, they increase the airway pathways in the body and they eliminate pain. So you want to get that ratio closer to the normal level and you may say to yourself “Hey, I eat fish you know I eat fish all the time.” Ask yourself this question:
- Have you eaten fish today?
- Did you eat fish yesterday, or last week, or anytime in this past month, and how much?
Because the amount of fish that you actually have to consume to get that proper amount of omega 3s is about 3lbs. Each serving of fish is about 250-500mg of omega 3s. You need several grams of omega 3s a day to get the benefits.
So the benefits of consuming omega 3 supplements are going to be like I spoke earlier:
- A decrease in joint pain and joint inflammation
- Increase in fat burning and your metabolism
How does it occurs is omega 3s cause a turn on a particular part in the body called peroxisomes within your cells. The peroxisomes, they digest the fat and they break down the fat differently from other different parts of the body, different cells in the body. So the omega 3s activate the peroxisomes. This increases the amount of heat that is release in the body by 30-40%. More heat being released means the metabolism is working even harder and also reduces the amount of energy that is actually produced by fat breakdown. This is actually beneficial for you because if less energy is being produced for each gram of fat that is being broken down. Your body has to actually break down more fat to get the required energy for the activity you’re trying to do so it actually burns more fat with the activation from the omega 3s.
The supplement that we have here at EarthFIT is the AdvoCare OmegaPlex. This product, it has a maintenance dosage of 2 soft gels and this is going to give you a maintenance just for optimum health. However, if you want the fat burning benefits and the anti-inflammation benefits that will help decrease the pain in the shoulders you are currently having, decrease the pain in your back, your hips, your knees, eliminate all types of inflammation in the body and increase the fat burning, you want a minimum of 3 grams of omega 3s. The OmegaPlex that I have here it has per serving which is the 2 soft gels 1 gram of omega 3 so you need 6 softgels to get the optimum benefits, the anti-inflammatory and the fat burning benefits. So 6 soft gels is going to give you 3 grams and that’s the minimum dosage required to get all the benefits from omega 3s.”
Beaufort health and fitness: Probiotics
Beaufort health and fitness: Probiotics
“Hey guys! Ben here, Precision Nutrition Coach. Again I’ll be talking about more supplements with you. The supplement I’ll be speaking about today is going to help you improve your gut function, your digestion and then also it’s going to help boost your immune system. Thus, some questions I’d like to ask you right now are:
- Are you currently feeling things like bloating? gassiness?
- When you eat a meal, does it not seem to sit well? Or immediately after again you get bloated and gassy?
- Are you currently getting acid reflux where you know again, you eat something and it just doesn’t seem to sit right.
- Are your bowel movements irregular?
- Are you getting sick very frequently? It seems like you’re always sick and no matter what you do you can’t get better.
This supplement is definitely for you then.
The supplement I’m specifically talking now is probiotics and here at EarthFIT we have probiotic supplement in particular by the Qivana company that we sell and this is going to help you replenish the probiotic storage within your body. You may ask yourself why do I even need a probiotic? Shouldn’t my body be getting the beneficial bacteria from things like yogurt, and other things like that. Those foods aren’t very beneficial, they don’t give you enough probiotics, and what happens is those yogurts that you’re consuming actually have more harmful ingredients like the sugar and artificial sweeteners that are killing off the probiotics within them. Other things that destroy the probiotics in the body that are going to cause all those symptoms that I spoke about earlier – the gassiness, bloating, poor digestion, sickness – are actually antibiotics.
So when you go to the doctors what do they recommend? They write you prescription and then they hand you an antibiotic and you’ll go pick it up and take it without any thinking about it. The term probiotic means for life, it promotes life. Antibiotics is against life so when the doctor writes you prescription and hands it to you it’s actually giving you something that is against life, it kills life, whereas the probiotic is beneficial for life. So, antibiotics kill off the probiotics in your gut. Other things that kill off the probiotics in your gut are artificial sweeteners. It’s a toxins to the body so again, it’s a toxin, it’s a poison, it kills things in your body. So artificial sweeteners, artificial food colorings, same thing as sweeteners, it’s toxic to the body, it kills off…
Gluten: Gluten is very inflammatory and it destroys the gut itself it destroys the microvilli which are the little particles in your gut that help assimilate and digest food and help absorb. It destroys that and really inflames the intestines so again, you’re killing off more probiotics that way. So, those are several things that you are eating without any thinking about it and then companies like the packaged food companies, they put in other chemicals and toxins that you’re not even currently aware of, they’re killing off the probiotics in the body.
So, what are the benefits of taking a probiotic? The benefits that you’re going to receive is going to be:
- An increase in your gut function, your digestion so you’re going to have better digestion
- Your assimilation of nutrients so you’re now digesting better. What’s going to happen is you will assimilate all the nutrients better. You may have heard of the saying “You are what you eat.” the saying should actually be you are what you digest and assimilate so the nutrients that actually get absorbed within the body are going to be the nutrients that are beneficial.
- Other things that you’re going to benefit from taking probiotics is a boost in your immune function. I can’t even remember the last time I was sick because I currently take a probiotics daily and my sickness just stays at the minimum. I never feel down, I never have to call off work or call off when I was at school because of I was sick. I always felt well. Whereas my friends they’re always sick, they seem to come out with just a cold that everybody at the school was getting… things like that.
- You’re going to have a decrease in the bloating, decrease in the gassiness from taking the probiotics and just you will have an overall better well being from taking the probiotics.
- You will feel much better just throughout the day.
- Your clothes will fit better, you will have a better self image of yourself.
So again, this is Ben, a Precision Nutrition Coach and talking about probiotics.”

Beaufort Health and Fitness: Exercise and Progression
Regular exercise to maintain good health and fitness is vital to live a healthy, happy, and stress free life. There are many benefits of daily exercise (like staving off disease) and there are various ways to do exercise. You can get signed up at one of the many health and fitness centers in Beaufort SC or perform workout at home. Decide yourself about attending the gym or going it alone at home, but most of the experts will suggest you to join a good gym. The gym or Beaufort health and fitness center brings some sort of regularity in your exercise. If you decide to workout at home then you may not have a routine despite the fact that the tools are right under your roof. Or the routine might be just that – routine… without progress. Beaufort SC has quite a few health and fitness centers.
A Beaufort health and fitness center is supposed to be designed to provide you all that you need for a workout. Some Beaufort health and fitness centers in SC are preferred because they provide you with the option of a personal trainer. This trainer can help you in numerous ways, e.g. if you are not familiar with different exercises, then he or she will help demonstrate the movements. If you are not sure about selecting some exercise to start with, the Beaufort health and fitness trainer will assist you after mapping out the best possible exercise routine for you. Also, this is truly the best way to push you toward your Beaufort health and fitness goals since a great trainer should have the ability to push you to your limit in the safest, healthiest way. In Beaufort SC, you can join a great health and fitness class to develop your interest in exercise. Moreover, daily workout with a group of people can motivate you a lot. Meeting different people and having a chat with them will make you socially active. In this way, the exercise will become a lot of fun for you, and you will automatically become regular. Beaufort Health and fitness centers also provide a variety of equipment-related exercises that a health and fitness trainer can help you with. Therefore, you will be assured that exercise equipment is well managed.
If you are shy or self-conscious, you can get the personal attention of one-on-one training from a Beaufort health and fitness expert. But it is key to choose the right trainer to assist you in your health and fitness goals. Someone that knows how the body works. If you have a busy schedule a good health and fitness center should have a flexible schedule to offer you morning or nighttime workout schedules so you can easily manage your time. There is another option to workout – you can buy certain health and fitness DVD’s instead of going to a health club in Beaufort SC. But that can be at your own risk, since you will not have the real true guidance of a fitness trainer. In short, you have many options to workout, but the first thing needed the stimulus to start. The next step is finding the right health and fitness club with the best trainers. That place is EarthFIT.

Beaufort Fitness: 6 Best Exercises For Your Booty
“Here are the 6 Beaufort Fitness Best Exercises for Your Booty:
BEST Booty Exercise #1: LUNGE
An amazing exercise that targets the muscles of your butt, thighs, and hips is the lunge. Putting one foot out in front of the other, lower your body toward the ground, keeping your abdominals tight and your torso straight. Lower until the front knee is bent at 90 degrees and not extended past your toes. Stand back up and then extend the opposite leg and bend. Perform 10 repetitions. For an increased Beaufort fitness workout, hold dumbbells in each hand.
BEST Booty Exercise #2: HIP LIFT
A great exercise to work your glute muscles is the hip lift. To do this exercise, lie on the floor with your back flat, knees bent, and feet resting on the ground. While keeping your arms at your sides on the floor, lift your bottom and lower back off of the floor. Hold for a few seconds, and then slowly lower yourself. Repeat. To work your muscles even more, lift a leg in the air when you raise your bottom off the ground. Lower yourself and then repeat, lifting the other leg.
BEST Booty Exercise #3: BANDED SHUFFLE
This is a great exercise to get your heart pumping and work your buns. To do this exercise, you’ll need an elastic sports band. Stand up straight with your legs hip-width apart and tie the band around your lower legs. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, your back is straight, and your abdominals are tight. While in this squatting position, take several steps to the left, then several to the right. You may need to use your arms for balance, but your butt muscles should feel a workout.
BEST Booty Exercise #4: LEG LIFT
To do a leg lift, lie on your side and prop yourself up on your elbow. Raise your top leg slowly into the air, as high as you can, so your legs make a “V” shape. Hold for a few seconds, and then slowly lower your leg. Repeat 10 times, turn onto the other side, and lift the other leg.
BEST Booty Exercise #5: RUN OR WALK
Running or walking outside or on the treadmill are other great exercises that work your butt while giving you a cardio workout to burn fat at the same time. Make it your goal to exercise 30 to 45 minutes at least three times a week, including walking or running each time.
BEST Booty Exercise #6: PLIE SQUAT
Another form of squat is the plie squat. This is the exercise to add definition and shape to your butt. Start by standing with your legs slightly more than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed out to the sides. This is what ballerinas call the plie position. For balance, hold your arms in front of you. While keeping your back straight, slowly squat to the ground until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Hold this for five seconds and stand back up. Repeat 10 times.
Burn, Baby, Burn! These 6 exercises are excellent ways to burn extra fat off your booty while adding the definition you desire. Not used to working your gluteal muscles? You’ll definitely feel the burn the first few days, but the end result will be worth the effort!
Please resist the urge to let past failures get you down. I don’t care how many times you’ve tried and failed to transform your body – and you shouldn’t either. What matters is that you’re motivated NOW, so let’s grab that momentum and get moving!
The one and only way to reshape your body (and your booty) is with a combination of cardio exercises, a healthy diet, and the right resistance Beaufort fitness workouts targeted for the butt and thighs. This is the winning combination that will see you through to your goal.

Win in 2014 (Winstreak)
Happy New Year EF Fam!
Being coached is one of the best ways to ensure continued self awarenss and growth, which is vital to reaching new heights in life.
So congrats on allowing yourself be coached, just that in itself is an accomplishment.
The truth is, we are all playing a game… the game of life. We are either winning (being happy and in control of our current situation) or we feel like we are losing (unhappy and not in control of our current situation).
Feeling like a loser sucks, believe me, I know. I have spent too many years feeling like a loser; but the truth is I wasn’t a loser.
It was my thinking that was backwards – and that made me feel like a loser. The reality was that I was a winner but I was living in “The Gap”.
It is like that famous qoute “When you change how you look at things, the things that you look at change.”
There is a simple formula that can make you feel like you are winning instantly!
But before I get in to that, let me explain what “The Gap” is. It’s something that I learned from world renowned coach, Dan Sullivan. One of the coaching programs that I am currently in was created by Dan Sullivan. Over the past 5 years I have consistently had a coach and have had the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches in the world to help me help EF trainers and clients progress to new levels. My hope is that this concept and the recommendation at the end of the email assists you towards your goals in 2014.
OK… So, “The Gap”…
“The Gap” is the place between where you are currently and your ideal self. Your ideal self being an image that is held in your mind and is never obtainable becasue when a goal is reached, the ideal self shifts again to something different, therefore the “ideal” is never truly reached. You are always left with the feeling of losing which never helps self-esteem. Essentially you want to stay out of this place because happiness and fullfillment can never be achieved when you live in “The Gap”.
On the filp side, when you compare yourself: where you started vs. where you are today, you can ONLY see the success and the progress you have made. This always leads to happiness and fullfillment because there is a sense of accomplishment and forward progress. It is also focusing on the positive, creating postive feelings of success and accomplishment giving motivation of wanting to do more and more.
If you do even 1 thing a day that helps you towards your goal, you are successful.
Nobody is perfect so small success leads to major success over time. As coaches we know this as it relates directly to fitness.
Every workout translates to calories lost/strength gained/cardio increase or what ever your goal may be and every meal can be postives to your physiological function and goals, or destructive and sabatoging.
Every decision counts. Every decision you make is either taking you further from or closer to your goals. But we want to focus on the positive.
I will share pieces of how you can do that becasue my goal in 2014 is to help you win.
Winning is accomplishing the desired result. And it all begins with how you look at things.
Let’s walk through 2014 with winning confidence instead of feeling like a loser.
And if you already feel like your winning, then lets win bigger!
The app WinStreak created by Dan Sullivan has help me stay in a positive focus.
I highly recommend it to assist you on reaching your goals for 2014.

It is free and very simple to use. Check it out and see if this simple app helps you focus to create simple successes leading to goals and dreams.
Committed to helping you win in 2014,

The Miracle Mineral
Hey EF Fam,
Part of our profession as coaches and health professionals consists of constant research and study, searching for any advantage, any method that will increase results safely, effectively and efficiently to help you maximize health and performance. It is a never ending process and evolution, which is why we are constantly tweaking and testing methods at EarthFIT.
Through all my research, there is one vital piece that I believe many people are missing these day.
In fact, more than 80% of Americans are deficient in this mineral.
The truth is, you are most likely deficient right now!
This mineral is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body and if you don’t have enough, it could be slowly wreaking havoc on your entire system and drastically restricting your results inside and outside the gym.
So my goal in this article is to convey the importance of this mineral.
It could be argued that is the most important mineral in the entire body.
That mineral being MAGNESIUM!
- It activates the muscles and the nerves
- It attaches to ATP to create energy in the body (with out magnesium you don’t have energy in the body)
- It helps to digest proteins, carbs and fats
- It is a building block for DNA
- It is a precursor for neurotransmitters (The chemicals like seratonin which make us feel good 🙂
And you are not getting enough of it. Many people tend to get the laxative effect of magnesium before they get the therapeutic affect because your body can only absorb a certain amount at one time depending on the type of magnesium supplement you might take. Many people think that they are getting enough magnesium in food but the truth is that many foods are devoid of the nutrients because the soil is as well these days. With that being said, the foods with the highest concentration of magnesium that can assist in more absorption are.
as per (http://www.whfoods.com/
Signs and Symptoms of magnesium deficiency as list by http://drsircus.com.
Suggestive early warning signs of magnesium insufficiency:
- Physical and mental fatigue

In a recent article by Dr. Sidney Baker. “Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body. With regard to skeletal muscle, one may experience twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction. Also, one may experience chest tightness or a peculiar sensation that he can’t take a deep breath. Sometimes a person may sigh a lot.”
The highest amount of magnesium is in the heart and if your ratio of calcium to magnesium is off, this can cause major issue. Too much calcium build up causes the muscles to contract and can lead to intense muscles spasms and cramps. This can lead to a heart attack. People who die from a sudden heart attack after an athletic event could be magnesium deficient.
Anyway, I think you get the point on how important magnesium.
THE BIG ISSUE:
Since everyone is deficient and our food these days are devoid of this valuable mineral and supplements can’t always do the trick, then what do we do?
In another upcoming email I will provide you with ways you can combat losing more of the miracle mineral and point you in the right direction as to the fastest and easiest way to absorb the mineral. I don’t want to overwhelm you with too much info all at one time and when it comes to magnesium, the research is astounding.
Committed to your success,
