New Meal Replacement Shakes

November 24th, 2009

Nikken has launched a new meal replacement shake. The previous shakes have either been based on whey or soy protein and one used sucralose as a sweetener. These all have problems for different people. Some people can’t take whey because it is derived from milk and they have allergies to that.  Research is finding that soy isn’t everything that it was supposedly cracked up to be.  If you search www.mercola.com for articles about soy, you will find that soy has a lot of potential health risks. These risks include hormone imbalance, memory loss, and increased cancer risk. You can also find several stories about the risks of using sucralose, which you may know by the brand name Splenda, at mercola.com as well.

The new shakes are based on vegetable protein, not soy or whey, and use an organic sweetener, so they don’t have any of the problems that the old shakes had. Like before, the are available in both vanilla and chocolate flavors. A real plus for the new shakes is that, keeping inline with Nikken’s push to go more organic, more of the ingredients come from organic sources. They also qualify as a nutritional supplement because they contain prebiotics and probiotics to help with gastrointestinal health.

All that is great, but the important question is how do they taste?  I personally don’t know yet (my shake mix is supposed to ship to me tomorrow). I have heard that they taste great, even better than the previous shakes. If you are someone who has an allergy to any of the ingredients in the previous shakes, then you now should have a viable option for meal replacement.

Even better than anything I can say about them, try them for yourself and let me know what you think.

People Who Couldn’t Sleep are Now Sleeping

November 15th, 2009

Do you have difficulty sleeping more than a few hours at a time? Nikken has just launched a new magnetic mattress topper and will discontinue the current Ultra Kenko Pad once they run out. They are calling the new magnetic pad the Kenko Naturest Mattress Topper. There is also a new Naturest pillow as well that will replace the existing pillow.

The technology advances are cool but the most important thing is how people are sleeping. I used to have trouble getting to sleep at night until I started using Nikken’s current magnetic mattress pad, the Ultra Kenko Pad. Once that was on my bed I could fall asleep within seconds of laying down, and still do. The only down side to that magnetic pad is that it is very firm. If you like a soft bed then it probably took a little adapting to, and it did for me.

There are a few people who still had trouble sleeping with that one. Two people in my upline told me that before the Ultra Kenko Pad they would sleep very little. With that pad they could sleep 4 hours or so at a time and feel great. That was a significant improvement for them and they were happy with that.

Now comes the new Naturest mattress topper. These same people are saying that this new pad is helping them to sleep 8 or 9 hours a night. They might not get that every night, but even just 2 or 3 nights a week of sleeping completely through the night is a huge breakthrough for them.

The new magnetic mattress pad, or mattress topper as they are calling them now, is made using a natural latex rubber and a new magnet technology. Latex provides many benefits. It is a renewable resource, so it is good for the environment. The latex is much softer than the foam from the current magnetic pad, so it is more comfortable and easier to adjust to. Natural latex is also resistant to microbes and such, so it is cleaner and better for the body.

I don’t know much about the science behind the new magnets in the Naturest pad other than that they have figured out how to incorporate 3 magnets, offset from each other to some degree, into each node. They are calling this Radial-Axis Magnetism or RAM and it somehow creates a 3-dimensional magnetic cocoon effect that wraps the body and is able to pull you deeper into sleep.

While all of the new technologies are great, the important thing is that people who had trouble sleeping are now able to sleep through the night. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will experience the same results that they have. The cool thing about magnets is that they don’t have any negative side-effects, so it doesn’t hurt to try it out.

The Kenko Naturest Mattress Topper and pillow is currently in a pre-order phase. Leave me a comment here or use my contact page to reach me to find out more about it and order your own.
