Eating More Calcium at Breakfast May Lower Heart Risk
Not only does calcium play an essential role in bone health, but it plays a very important role in supporting your cardiovascular health. This essential mineral regulates your blood vessels, muscular contractions, hormone secretion, and nerve conduction. Plus, calcium helps to improve blood lipids, blood pressure, and body fat. Now researchers have found that the time of day you eat your calcium can make a difference in your cardiovascular health.
For a study published in BMC Public Health, researchers looked at data from 36,164 US adults (including 4,040 with cardiovascular disease) who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2003 to 2018. Participants share what they ate over a 24-hour period during two nonconsecutive days three to 10 days apart.
The researchers calculated the participants’ calcium intake at breakfast and dinner and divided them into five different quadrants. What they found is that those who ate calcium during both meals had a lower cardiovascular risk, and those who ate 5% more calcium at breakfast than at dinner had a 6% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
This study sheds light on the importance calcium plays in promoting heart health. Plus, it suggests eating more of your calcium at breakfast than dinner may be beneficial to your heart, although it’s important to consume calcium during both meals.
3 Daily Habits That Can Help You Maintain a Healthy Weight
When it comes to weight loss, losing it is only half the battle. Research suggests up to 80% of people who lose weight will eventually regain it, with many returning to their original weight or gaining more than they originally lost. So, what’s the secret to keeping it off?
For a study published in the journal Obesity, researchers looked at data from 74 overweight or obese adults who were participating in a three-month internet-based weight loss program. Participants were on average 50.7 years old with a body mass index (BMI) of 31.2 kg/m2.
The researchers followed the participants for nine months following the three-month weight loss program, having them track their food, activity, and how often they weighed themselves. What the researchers found is that those who tracked all three factors three times a week were most likely to maintain their weight loss.
They also found that those who monitored themselves five days a week or more were more likely to continue shedding pounds. Plus, those who tracked their progress just once or twice a week experienced weight gain.

Are You Suffering from Embarrassing Gas or Bloating?
If the answer is “yes,” chances are your intestines don’t have enough enzymes to properly break down the food you eat. Without enzymes, food can pile up in your intestine, leading to bloating, gas, lack of appetite, heartburn, pain, nausea, or vomiting.
That's where MassZymes from Biooptimizers comes in. This specialized supplement is formulated with essential enzymes like protease, lipase, amylase, and bromelain for smooth, comfortable digestion. Not only does it help to break down proteins effectively (key for building lean muscle mass and keeping hunger at bay), but it also tackles issues like constipation, gas, and pesky acid reflux.
Learn how to ease your digestive woes and save up to 30% right here.

Do You Talk in Your Sleep? Here’s Why
You might not be aware you’re doing it but sleep talking, known clinically as "somniloquy," is more common than you might think. Studies reveal that approximately two out of every three individuals experience episodes of sleep-talking at some stage in their lives, even if they are unaware of it. The top causes of sleep talking include a lack of sleep and jet lag. Plus, a family history, sleep apnea, stress, and anxiety can all play a role in this benign behavior. (More)
Ease Anxiety & Depression by Pooping?
Having regular bowel movements isn’t just important for your physical health, but your mental health as well. When you maintain regular bowel movements, you support the balance of good bacteria in your gut, which is linked to reduced anxiety, fatigue, depression, and irritability. Plus, regularity helps to eliminate toxins from your body, reduces discomfort and bloating, and even helps to improve your digestion so you more easily absorb nutrients from the foods you eat. (More)

Let’s Talk Enzymes: What You Need to Know!
Before you run out and buy a bottle of enzymes to improve your digestion, it’s important to know exactly what to look for. The truth is that not all enzyme formulas live up to their promises, especially when it comes to tackling protein.
Your body relies on proteolytic enzymes to break down protein effectively. However, those enzymes are most effective when they can withstand the varied PH levels in your gut, without getting wiped out by stomach acids. This is where many enzyme formulas fall short.
Fortunately, the folks at Biooptimizers solved this issue with their game-changing formula: MassZymes. This formula not only stabilizes protein-digesting proteases but combines the five strongest ones out there! Plus, it includes other important enzymes like lipase, amylase, bromelain, and more to help you efficiently and comfortably digest all of the foods you eat.
Experience the difference these potent natural enzymes can make right here.
