Think back a couple of decades (or more)….going outside to play…for hours?! Did you quickly get tired or did someone yell to get you inside after it turned dark?!!  Right – they had to yell or ring the bell !! Could this be part of the secret to feeling better today?? Could it be we were getting naturally energized just by being outside?

  The New Normal

Now many children spend more time indoors on devices or watching TV away from the healing energy of the Earth…Yes, I said Healing Energy of the Earth! Children are experiencing now more degenerative diseases than 20 years ago. Is there a correlation? We as adults carry device(s) with us all day.  Many of us go from house to car to office and reverse the order at the end of the day…feeling tired and stressed — and will “relax” with a device on our lap as we watch a show or two.

Got Energy?!

Are you Dog Tired??!

Do you feel like this everyday??! Energy is defined as the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity. In other words, energy is integral to what sustains us and gives us vitality. Everyone needs energy but many of us lack it!!!

Every time something gets warm, cools down, moves, grows, makes a sound or changes in any way, it uses energy. Science classifies energy into two categories –kinetic (moving) and potential (stored) energy.

For example, the food a person eats contains chemical energy, and a person’s body stores this energy until he or she uses it as kinetic energy during work or play.2

Energy can change between potential and kineticSuzanne's Solutions

Water at the top of a waterfall has stored potential energy but as the water begins to fall, it changes from potential to kinetic energy. When we create energy from hydro power, we harness the kinetic energy of the water for our own use. 1

Radiant energy is another type of kinetic energy that includes visible light, X-rays, electromagnetic energy and radio waves.

Nikken helps you boost your kinetic energy with advanced magnetic and ceramic reflective fiber technologies. The Energy Pack is composed of Kenko (Japanese for “health”) and KenkoTherm products that incorporate these technologies. The Energy Pack is essential to an Active Wellness lifestyle and is designed to support your maximum mobility and overall physical well-being.

Healthy Summer Hair Care: Get the Chlorine Out!

Got Healthy Summer Hair?

healthy summer hair

Is healthy summer hair important to you?? Summertime is here….does your hair look like this??!! Most of us spend more time outdoors during the summer months, and hair takes a beating from being exposed to sun, wind and chlorine.  Effective hair care requires a good shampoo and conditioner, but what about the water used to wash our hair?

healthy summer hair healthy water shower

Unfiltered water generally contains sediment, minerals and chemicals (such as chlorine) purported to clean the water system. None of these things is helpful in maintaining clean hair and a healthy scalp.

Solution for Healthy Hair – Part 1:

healthy summer hair chlorine free shower healthy water

Enter the PiMag MicroJet® Shower System. We normally think of water filters only in terms of clean drinking water, but the PiMag MicroJet Shower System effectively reduces chlorine exposure and makes shower water comparable in quality to filtered drinking water.

Swimming Pool side affects:

bad hair chlorine damage healthy summer hair

Year-round swimmers know what chlorine can do to hair. Depending on your natural hair color, ongoing chlorine exposure may transform it to various shades of yellow, green or blue while drying it out to the consistency of hay. Chlorine also tends to fade hair dye and highlights, increasing the cost of color maintenance. In a nutshell, the damage chlorine does to hair costs a lot of money to fix, and too much time if you decide to use the “grow it out and cut it off” method.

Save money!

save money

It’s so much more cost-effective and practical to install the PiMag MicroJet® Shower System, which is far superior to other chlorine-reduction systems.

For you technical wizards – here’s how:

  • Most other chlorine-reduction shower filters trap part of the chlorine or add other chemicals to counteract it (fighting poison with poison, so to speak). The PiMag MicroJet uses a reduction/oxidation process to convert free-radical chlorine ions to neutral chlorides. In addition, Nikken Magnetic Technology helps condition water without salt or other chemical additives. The magnetic field assists in reducing clumping to reduce mineral buildup.
  • Even more effective filtration is achieved by patent-pending Air-Induction Technology, which injects air into the shower stream to create a higher air-to-water ratio. The result is a water stream that is less viscous and has less surface tension so it passes through the nozzle with decreased resistance, which helps maintain water pressure without requiring a higher flow rate.
    • The PiMag MicroJet® nozzle releases streams of microbubbles within the water flow, producing an effective cleansing action that penetrates surface buildup of dirt and helps moisturize skin and scalp so they feel fresh and soft.

Here’s a short video for you visual learners!

Good tips for Healthy Hair:

  • Once you have washed your hair, try rinsing it out with cold water. The cold temperature constricts hair cuticles and makes the strands smoother and more reflective. It also prevents dirt from accumulating on the scalp and helps strength hair. The cold water rinse may leave your hair looking glossier and shinier.
  • Before swimming, wet your hair with cold water so that it has already absorbed clean water and will then soak up less of the salt or chlorinated water. (Chlorine and salt water make hair frizzy.)
  • After swimming, if you stay out in the sun or delay going to the shower, coat your hair with True Elements® Conditioner, as it will help prevent damage.
  • Use True Elements® Shampoo and Conditioner regularly all year round and wash more frequently during summer months. They won’t strip hair of its natural oils or hurt the scalp’s protective barrier. Non-irritating to sensitive skin, True Elements® Hair Care does NOT contain commonly used chemical ingredients found in many name brands.
  • Bring True Elements® Shampoo and Conditioner with you to the gym, the pool, and the beach.
  • Drink lots of water. Dehydration has a direct impact on hair growth, and lack of hydration produces dry and brittle hair. It also may decrease the rate of growth.

Hydration – save on Shipping 3 days only!

Drinking plenty of water is extremely important and highly underrated even though dehydration is common and may have frightening consequences. Since 50 to 70 percent of our body mass is composed of water, including skin, tissues, cells and organs1, water is essential for Active Wellness. When dehydration occurs, the body does not have enough water for its basic vital functions.

Watch out for these symptoms of mild to moderate dehydration2:

  • Increased thirst with dry mouth
  • Unusual feelings of fatigue or sleepiness
  • Decrease or lack in urine output
  • Headache
  • Dry skin
  • Dizziness
  • Tearlessness
  • Constipation
  • Leg cramps

Symptoms of severe dehydration include2:

  • Lightheadedness that stops you from standing or walking normally
  • Drop in blood pressure (can lead to shock)
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Fever
  • Poor skin elasticity
  • Lethargy and/or confusion
  • Actually passing out or blacking out
  • Swollen hands, feet and legs

Our bodies lose water daily through perspiration, breathing and the entire digestive/excretion process. We naturally replenish these losses through the consumption of food and beverages, but depending on individual diets, may not hydrate enough. The Institute of Medicine advises men to drink three liters (101 fluid ounces) of water per day and for women, 2.2 liters 74 fluid ounces).

During the summer months, we tend to perspire more and lose even more water throughout the day. That means the skin is working harder, and we need to replenish the body’s largest organ by drinking more water. Water not only keeps the skin hydrated but also helps skin stay soft and supple, which decreases the appearance of wrinkles by plumping up the cells. Dry skin has less resilience and is more prone to wrinkling.

Drinking enough water helps increase our metabolic rate and improves the digestive system’s ability to flush toxins out of the body. This in turn helps produce healthy and glowing skin by reducing breakouts and acne. Unfortunately, water will reach all the other organs before it reaches the skin3, so it’s important to hydrate the skin on the outside as well. That’s where a great moisturizer like True Elements® Nourishing Face Cream with hyaluronic acid helps skin hold water in. Hyaluronic acid is believed to hold 1,000 times its own weight in water, thus attracting water to the skin and holding it there.4

Staying hydrated is good for the health and helps us maintain our youthful looks! And the PiMag® Sport Bottle lessens the amount of plastic we add to our overflowing landfills.

Nature’s Secret Keys to Youthful Skin

organic, marine, seaweed

The Fountain of Youth??

Can nature provide the keys to youthful skin?  If it could, more importantly would you make those small changes?

ready for change, youth

Great…read on!

Our skin is more than just an outer covering; it is the main defense against external injury. It is a living, breathing organ, the largest of our body!  Much of what we put on our skin is absorbed and can ultimately affect our health – positively or negatively.

What You Choose Makes A Difference!

Choosing certified organic skincare can help give reassurance that the product is rich in ‘natural’ ingredients without the synthetic chemicals. The body cannot easily recognize and process synthetic chemicals.  These ‘foreign’ substances, can sometimes accumulate in the tissues, potentially over time causing an allergic skin reaction – such as contact dermatitis, eczema or breakouts.

pimples, skin issues, dermatitis, eczema

It’s as important to decrease the toxic load on the skin as choosing a healthy (and organic) diet! And using organic products also means that you are helping to support the sustainability of our environment.

The Nikken Difference

Nikken’s TRUE elements® Marine Organic Skincare range has been certified organic by ECOCERT1, a distinction very few organic products can claim. It has met strict standards set for its specified category, beyond the rest of organic skin care products.

ecocert organic

What is ECOCERT? 

ECOCERT was the first certification body to develop standards for natural and organic cosmetics. They look at the use of ingredients derived from renewable sources and the environmentally friendly manufacturing process, as well as requiring 95% of the total ingredients to come from natural origin.

organic skin serum velvet milk gel mask scrub

More facts about the TRUE elements…

  • The ECOCERT certified TRUE elements® Marine Organic Skincare is also vegan

Vegan products are free from animal derived compounds (including milk, honey and beeswax) –  the TRUE elements® range does not contain any ingredients from animals at all so is suitable for use by vegans.

  • We use sustainably sourced seaweed

In France, where our skincare is manufactured, the French government and various other organizations manage the seaweed industry. They commit each year on quantities to harvest, the geographical place to harvest, sizes to cut and number of licenses for harvesters.

Everything is managed by satellite through the different Research Centers such as IFREMER2, controlling the water quality and all other resources.

  • We use sustainably sourced Palm Oil

Our suppliers are certified with Green Palm Sustainability”3 certificates.

  • We advise a ‘period after opening’ time so you know when your product is still in its optimum state.

In Europe, cosmetic products with a lifespan of more than 30 months must show a ‘period after opening’ (POA) time. That is the time when the product will remain in optimum performance after the consumer has used the product for the first time. See the jar symbol with the ‘time’ in months shown inside.

  • No Bunny logo needed

In Europe it’s forbidden by law to test products on animals and that’s why we do not need to apply the ‘Bunny logo’ anymore.

  • Recycle your jars and tubes…

You can recycle your empty packaging at home in the suitable recyclable container!

Ready to unlock the key?

The choice is now up to YOU! Is it time to protect your skin with a safe, healthy solution that has the ECOCERT advantage? For the last 21 years that’s what I’ve used. I can tell you from my own experience that I notice the difference with my skin compared to others my age.

p.s.  Hydration is also as important for your skin and body….and your choice of water is critical!

The Brain-Gut Connection

What affects our gut?

Is there a brain-gut connection? There are many contributing factors that affect our gut health such as diet, food in tolerances, lifestyle, etc. Taking care of your digestive system has instant, positive effects on your overall well being.

prebiotic probiotic bacteria healthy gut stress management sleep exercise

A balanced diet and stress management for example, play a vital role in how well we sleep, stay active and live a happy, productive life.

It all starts in the gut…

prebiotic probiotic bacteria healthy gut healthy floraIn 2008, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) formed the Human Microbiome Project (HMP). Microbiome is defined as “the collection of microbes or microorganisms that inhabit an environment, creating a ‘mini-ecosystem.’”1

The human microbiome, located in the gut, is made up of trillions of bacteria that send messages to the brain. This communication is known as the “brain-gut connection.” Because approximately 70 to 80 percent of the body’s immune tissue is located within the digestive system, boosting your immune system really requires a healthy gut.2

How you can help

You can help manage your microbiome and influence the brain-gut connection as well as strengthen your immune system. You can also increase the good gut bacteria that sends the brain positive messages and decrease the bad bacteria that causes bad food cravings. In this way, “you are what you eat.”

good fuel for your body healthy nutrition

Since good bacteria thrives on fiber and nutrient-dense food, eating that type of food consistently is the key to a healthy brain-gut connection. Good bacteria feeds on fibrous food, digests it and releases a gas up to the brain, telling it that the body is well nourished. When the brain is told that the body is well nourished, it doesn’t think there’s a need to fill in the gaps created by a lack of nutrition. It’s a healthy cycle where nutrient-dense food that is fibrous creates more good bacteria.

fiber happy baby happy adult

Fiber has multiple benefits

Fiber does more than curb cravings. It also helps your mood. The Human Microbiome Project has shown that serotonin, the “feel-good” chemical the body generates, is actually created in the gut, not the brain. More fiber and nutrient-dense food in the gut could influence our emotional health as well as our physical well being.

prebiotic probiotic bacteria healthy gut

When will you see a change?

You may be surprised how quickly a healthy gut helps the brain minimize unhealthy cravings and also helps improve your overall health. If you currently don’t eat lots of fibrous foods, integrate them into your daily regimen slowly, so that your body has time to adjust. Incorporate it into each meal or snack. The fiber will give a sense of fullness to help you cut back on sugar and processed food.

brain-gut connection

First step towards a positive brain-gut connection

The happier your microbiome, the fewer bad food cravings there’ll be. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but the important thing is to get started in helping your gut converse positively with your brain! Best of all, you will discover how delicious these nutrient-dense and fibrous foods are!

start with good fiber healthy gut

To help jump start your microbiome, we are introducing the new Kenzen Digestion Complex 4-20 to assist in processing the additional fiber you eat. Containing a combination of ingredients that tackles fats, proteins, carbohydrates and fiber, Kenzen Digestion Complex 4-20 could support the assimilation of all types of nutrients.

No More Bad Hair Days!

Are You  Having a Bad Hair Day?

Bad Hair Days…I have them too…but do you have more bad hair days than good ones?  If so and you want to do something about it, read on!

Good Hair Starts with a Healthy Scalp

A healthy hair care regimen requires us to keep our scalps clean and sufficiently moisturized. How often we wash our hair and what we use can go a long way toward maintaining smooth, shiny hair. Depending on our personal skin and hair type, here is our guide to help maintain healthy hair:

  1. Frequency depends on you. If your scalp is oily, you may need to wash it every day; however,  be careful not to over wash and disturb the natural balance of oil. If you have chemically treated hair, your hair may be drier, so less frequently washing may be needed to maintain its natural moisture. As we age, our scalp makes less oil, requiring less frequent washing.
  2. Concentrate shampoo on the scalp. Washing only your hair can create flyaway hair that is dull and coarse. After massaging gently into the scalp, be sure to rinse thoroughly.
  3. Use conditioner after every shampoo. Using a conditioner can significantly improve the look of damaged or weathered hair by increasing shine, decreasing static electricity, improving strength and offering some protection from harmful UV rays.
  4. Concentrate conditioner on the hair, not the scalp. Conditioners can make fine hair look limp, for oily hair concentrate on the lengths rather than the roots. Again, be sure to rinse thoroughly. You may also consider improving the water in your shower as well. The PiMag showerhead has made a huge difference for us!
  5. Let your hair air dry whenever you can. Hair dryers, curling irons, flat irons anything that produces artificial heat can damage hair and lead it to becoming too dry.
  6. Choose a range that is Sulfates, Paraben and PEGS free. True ElementsShampoo and separate Conditioner contain quality, natural ingredients, such as Aloe Leaf Extract, Bentonite, Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Copper Gluconate, Peppermint Oil and Germanium Sesquioxide that work together to clean, moisturise and condition the scalp. Formulated for all hair types (dry, normal, oily, chemically-treated, colour-enhanced, male, female) to help maintain healthy scalp and hair.

P.S. it is also safe for pets!!!!
