[What is 5-HTP]

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia 5-HTP is used for sleep disorders such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine and tension-type headaches, fibromyalgia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizure disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

 [How does it work?]

5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.

[Function]

Depression. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth improve symptoms of depression in some people. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth might be as beneficial as certain prescription antidepressant drugs for improving depression symptoms. In most studies, 150-800 mg daily of 5-HTP was taken. In some cases, higher doses have been used.

Down syndrome. Some research shows that giving 5-HTP to infants with Down syndrome might improve muscle and activity. Other research shows that it does not improve muscle or development when taken from infancy until 3-4 years of age. Research also shows that taking 5-HTP along with conventional prescription drugs does improve development, social skills, or language skills.

Anxiety 5-HTP was found to be protective against carbon dioxide-induced panic attacks. One study compared 5-HTP and the prescription medication clomipramine for anxiety. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. 5-HTP was found to be somewhat effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, but not as effective as clomipramine.

Sleep 5-HTP supplements fared a little better for insomnia.5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and decreased the number of nighttime awakenings. Taking 5-HTP along with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduced the time it took to fall asleep and increased the duration and quality of sleep. One study found that children with night terrors benefited from 5-HTP.

Hello Fitlifers!

Welcome to another Saturday Strategy!

Fall is here! This is a great time to change what you juice. Add some more flavor to your Fall juices. Right now is the best time to juice vegetables and herbs that will strengthen your immune system.

Firstly, the reason why you probably want to use pumpkin is because it’s loaded with vitamin A, which is good for the eyes, right? It actually has more vitamin A than carrots. Pumpkins have this great distinct orange color that just like carrots, are packed with beta-carotene.

It also contains a lot of Vitamin C which helps in controling cortisol levels. And the seeds actually help with LDL cholesterol because of its high traces of niacin and pantothenic acid. Pumpkins are rich as well in folate, thiamin, protein, essential minerals, copper, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.

Pumpkins also contain a carotenoid called beta-cryptoxanthin. Beta-cryptoxanthin has been shown to decrease the risk of lung cancer in smokers.

Pumpkin is an amazing carb loaded with potassium. A lot of people say that banana is the super-fuel of potassium but pumpkin, in my own opinion, actually has more potassium.

So let’s talk about the ingredients that you’re going to need to make this amazing pumpkin milk recipe.

So here’s the pumpkin, medium sized pumpkin for the milk. We have one coconut, half of cinnamon stick, some vanilla beans and milk. So now that you have the ingredients, let’s get started with the recipe, shall we?

Step # 1 : Cut the pumpkin open and abstract the meaty juicy goodness that we will be juicing so that we can get the pumpkin juice.

Step # 2: Cut open the coconut abstracting the meat from the coconut. Put in it a little bit of water and make the actual coconut milk. Dump it into the blender real quick.

Step # 3: Add your seasoning to the pumpkin milk. Combine the two together in the blender with the juice and it’s going to be so delicious. I’m excited for you to try this, let’s get to it.

Alright Fitlifers, so let’s try this very seasonal juice. I love the taste of pumpkin. The coconut milk adds a little bit more fat to it as well. If we wanted to, we can add a little bit more pumpkin seed to it. By putting aside the seeds in the dehydrator, you can still utilize the seeds

So there’s a lot you can do this time here with the pumpkin, start to utilize this seasonal food. Check out the juice recipes here.

We are hoping that you are enjoying the recipes that we are bringing to you. These juice recipes can definitely give your health a boost. We want you to be healthy and live an active lifestyle Fitlifer!

I know many of you know this.

Maybe you’ve heard me talk about this before….

I want to share this with you….

This is embarrassing and you may have heard me talk about this before… BUT… )

I used to be 25 pounds over weight and have a ton of belly fat. And everywhere I would go I feel like everyone was staring at my belly. I was embarrassed to take my shirt off at the beach. I tried every diet plan known to man and nothing worked until one day a man told me how this “one simple thing” saved his life. I figured if this solution saved his life, what would it do for someone that was already healthy?

When I applied this to my life I was able lose 25 pounds and finally get the body I always wanted.

Get your hands on the thing that I used to transform myself and over 500,000 others.
