Ingredients In Advocare's Spark....

 

If you are considering trying Spark, or already use it and want to know more about the key ingredients, then you need to read this. 

B-Vitamin Complex

  • The complex used in Spark is composed of a mixture of thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and pantothenic acid. B vitamins are necessary for the healthy function of almost all of the body's major processes. They are considered "essential" nutrients because they are necessary and cannot be made by the body, thus they must be supplemented either through vitamins or food.
    B vitamins play an important role in the body's metabolic cycle and direct energy production. This is why most nutritional energy drinks, including AdvoCare Spark contain a B-vitamin complex.
    B vitamins are also used by the body to help maintain healthy blood vessels, aid in the digestion of carbohydrates and in the normal functioning of the nervous system, muscles and heart. Most B vitamins work together and, in many cases, provide the greatest benefit when supplemented together.

Taurine

  • Taurine is a nonessential, sulfur-containing amino acid. It is found naturally in animal and fish proteins and is highly concentrated in organ meats. Taurine supports neurological development and is thought to have antioxidant properties. Many studies have shown that athletes who supplemented with taurine experienced improved athletic performance. These findings have encouraged many energy-drink manufacturers, including AdvoCare, to include taurine in their product formulations.

L-Tyrosine

  • L-tyrosine is another amino acid, and it's involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters in the brain. It is a precursor for thyroid hormones and catecholamines, the body's "fight-or-flight" hormones, which are released by the adrenal glands. These two groups of hormones are very important for energy production, thyroid function and the body's ability to deal with stress.

Choline

  • Similar to B-vitamins, choline serves many functions in our bodies. It helps maintain the structure of cell membranes, is a precursor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and protects our livers from accumulating excess fat. There appears to be a large need for choline during early fetus and infant development to support the rapid rate of growth and brain development that occurs during these stages.
    Research published in a 2004 Journal of the American College of Nutrition article by Dr. Steven Zeisel, director of the University of North Carolina's Nutrition Research Institute, suggests that choline might be essential throughout life to help prevent memory loss, lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Caffeine

  • Caffeine is well known for its stimulatory powers. Consuming caffeine does not eliminate the need for sleep; it temporarily reduces the feeling of being tired. Caffeine also increases the amount of physical or mental labor a person can handle. According to a study by Robert Motl in the April 7 issue of ScienceDaily, subjects were able to exercise longer and harder when supplementing with caffeine before a workout.

GABA

  • GABA is another amino acid and an inhibitory neurotransmitter. It has a tendency to act as a "balancer" in the brain, balancing the excitation of neurons with their inhibition. This helps produce a calming effect and also can assist in mental focus. The ingredient then acts as a balance in an energy drink like AdvoCare Spark.

New Adventures

I have started a new adventure. As if I needed another one, but I say "Why Not?" I have become an Independent Distributor for Advocare.  My sister has used it for years and loves the product and got Adam and I hooked on their products. We decided that since we buy it then why not sell it since we believe in this product.

My favorite is their Spark drink. I drink it every morning, and before I run. Since I've been using it I have noticed how much I get done during the day. I feel energized and not sluggish like I normally felt! It does not give you the shakes or make your heart race. Just an all around great drink. It even taste great too! It comes in several flavors for you to choose from.

Great Place to Buy Children's Gift

BLUE MANATEE BOOK BOXES
If you are like me, your children are at the age where you have a birthday party to attend almost every weekend! My problem is I can never make a decision on what to buy for a gift, but I have found the solution.......Blue Manatee Book Boxes. I ordered one of Ross' friends a box for his birthday, and anticipated its arrival because I wasn't sure if it was going to be a flop. But his mom said it was awesome, and she would definitely use them for gifts too!! I did not chose the books, but just selected a theme and his age range and they did the rest.  They even packaged information on how to play with the peanuts and box the books came in!!!! Check them out if you are desperate for gift ideas!

Do You Have a Milky Film on your Dishes? Here is some help!

For years I have searched and searched for a dishwasher detergent that didn't leave a milky film on my dishes and glasses.  I've tried every detergent you can imagine, and finally came across one that works.  I know I have talked to other people that have had the same problem, so thought I would share my find. I use the All in 1 Finish GELPACS. Since I've been using my dishes have been as clean as the picture advertised. I've also left some hard to remove spots on plates to see if it would get it clean, and it did!!

Hope this helps!

Until Next Time,

The Worst Word in the English Language

If you are a mom you know that children leave us with marks. These marks go unnoticed at times, but when you least expect it they resurface reminding you of the miraculous way that they got here!

The worst word in the English language is 'hemorrhoid.' What person sat down and said "This is what I'm going to call this problem..." ? Hemorrhoid fits in the same category as pimple, zits, and corns. Anytime you hear that word 'hemorrhoid' and it is associated with a certain person, you tend to look at that person differently from that point on.  :O) or at least I do!

NO matter what your mark, I'll say that our children and babies are worth every one of them!!



PS. There is no connection between my mark and the worst word in the English language! :O)

Until Next Time,

Out on A Limb

I decided to go out on a limb, and I am hoping my friends will join me. I am so tired of looking and looking for great recipes. I know, I know they are already rated on their particular pages, but come on who wants to search the entire web for that perfect recipe then put your trust in some strangers opinion(their review). I always read the reviews on recipes but never know who is reviewing them. It could be some strange person who might believe that goose pate "Is out of this world!" and who wants to trust their taste. haha just kidding...Don't take offense if you happen to be the one person in this world that likes goose pate! :O)

So here is the deal. Just go to my Facebook page Rate a Recipe, and post your recipes and give them a rating. It's not hard, just a standard rating of 1 to 10, 10 being "Too Die For!" I hope this helps you as much as I am hoping it will help me. Share with your friends so that we can get tons of ideas.


On a side note, my youngest is 4 months old today. Boy, oh boy how time flies..Wait that statement reminds me of an article that almost every mother on Facebook read about 'Carpe Diem' !!

 
"Everybody was Kung Fu ...

Fighting!"

"Enough of the pictures and song, Mom!"

What are we not thankful for?

As I was sweating through the process of blow drying and chiing(sp)  my hair, I remembered that the Bible says God knows every hair on my head. Let me tell you that is a lot of hairs (haha).  That brings me to this thought "What am I thankful for?" I know, I know. Everybody has been thinking the same thing over the past 22 days, because I've read them all on facebook. So what does being thankful have to do with God knowing every hair on my head? It means I am ever so thankful that he KNOWS ME!!


My list is made up of serious and not so serious things so bare with me.........

A- Adam and Adam (Bible and Husband)
B- Bible and Babies
C- Christ and Cream Cheese
D- Dad, Dishwasher, and disposable diapers :O)
E- Elvis and Education
F- Family, Friends and Fiber
G- God and Grace
H- Holidays, Hands, AND Heaven
I- Immanuel and Ice
J- Jesus and Jeans
K- Kinfolk and King size bed
L- Life and Legs
M-Marriage and Meringue
N- Nativity and Naps
O- Oven and Oceans
P- Pinterest and Paul
Q- Guacamole and Quilts
R-Rahab(of the Bible) and RICE
S-Salvation and Steaks
T- Teeth and Toilet paper
U- Underwear and the U.S.A.
V- Vacations and Vanilla Ice Cream
W-Washer, Waffles, and Worship
X- Zrays
Y- Youth and Yams
Z-Zippers

But in all honesty, what are we NOT thankful for? We should always be thankful for everything in our lives, so my list should not consists of two to three words. It should not fit on this page! So as we all get together with family and enjoy a roof over our head, LET'S GIVE THANKS to the One who deserves it the most!

From Our Family to Yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
