Tropical Magnesium—It’s Essential!May 07, 2012
Filed under: Supplements - greenacres @ 3:29 PM
“Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”–Hippocrates (Father of Modern Medicine 2,500 years ago.)
With the current state of the standard diet, the fact that our food supply travels hundreds of miles from its source, and with busy, working families stressed to the max, it’s no wonder we see a proliferation of junk, processed and refined foods. Combining healthy food choices with dietary supplements makes sense in this day and age. That’s where GreenAcres Market comes in. We make helping you choose the right dietary plan and necessary supplements painless--and we cut straight to the essentials. Magnesium, is a biggie where glucose metabolism is concerned. There’s a huge rise in diabetes in our country, so keeping blood sugars within range helps keep chronic disease at bay. You might be surprised there are several ways to absorb this vital mineral.
- Intravenous drips
- Foot soaks
- Bathtub soak
- Topical applications (on the skin)
- Oral intake (this method takes one-three years to raise Magnesium levels in the cells, and it unfortunately has laxative properties which might result in a life-long dependency on laxatives. We don’t want that.)
Topical Magnesium may seem odd, but it’s actually based on age-old principles, with a little bit of new age science thrown in. Stop by GreenAcres Market and ask our knowledgeable staff about this essential mineral. You might discover it’s as easy as soaking in a hot bath

Vitamin D, the New Vitamin C…?March 08, 2012
Filed under: Natural Living, Supplements - greenacres @ 2:20 PM
You may have heard about Vitamin D in the news recently. Maybe you watch Dr. Oz, or Oprah, or subscribe to a health news blog. Lots of folks are talking about it, and they all seem to be saying more or less the same thing: the U.S. has a major problem with Vitamin D deficiency. Research shows that 40% of the U.S. population is Vitamin D deficient. But what does that mean for our health? This is where some research differs, but the jury has weighed in, and it’s not good.
“Vitamin D3 deficiency can result in Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Depression, Psoriasis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Kidney Stones, Osteoporosis, & Neuro-degenerative disease including Alzheimer’s Disease. Eventually, Vitamin D deficiency may even lead to Cancer (especially breast, prostate, and colon cancers),” says Nurse Practitioner and Diabetes Educator Pamela Egan. ‘Vitamin D3 is believed to play a role in controlling the immune system (possibly reducing one’s risk of cancer and autoimmune diseases), increasing neuro-muscular function and decreasing falls, improving mood, protecting the brain against toxic chemicals, and potentially reducing pain. Vitamin D3 is both a vitamin and a hormone. It acts as a vitamin when it binds with calcium for proper absorption. Humans cannot digest calcium without adequate amounts of Vitamin D3.”
You’re probably starting to see all the important roles that Vitamin D3 plays in our bodies. Proper levels can help us to stave off infections, prevent certain types of cancer, keep dangerous chronic conditions at bay, and more.
Studies from the Vitamin D Council suggest that there is no easy way to tell who is Vitamin D deficient and who is not: “Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency could be described as chronic pain, weak bones, frequent infections, depression, etc., but the same will not be true for everyone who is deficient. Because the possible effects of vitamin D deficiency are wide-ranging and can manifest in the body in any number of ways, there are no specific associated symptoms.”
So how do you know if you are Vitamin D deficient? There are some correlations between certain variables and an individual’s likelihood for deficiency. For instance, seniors and those with darker colored skin are more likely to be Vitamin D deficient due to the skin’s lack of responsiveness to sunlight. Of course, if you’re not seeing enough sun (you work indoors all day, and stay indoors in your evenings) you’re likely not getting enough sunlight for your body to keep up with manufacturing proper levels of Vitamin D.
Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should also be mindful of their Vitamin D intake. Studies show that up to 76% of 
pregnant mothers are severely vitamin D deficient. Deficiency can be passed onto the child if the mother is not producing or in-taking proper levels of Vitamin D. This can cause widespread vitamin D deficiencies in their unborn children, which predisposes them to type 1 diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia later in life. 81% of the children born to these mothers were deficient.
So what can you do? Getting more sunlight and spending more time outdoors is an option for some, but not all. A high-quality Vitamin D supplement is recommended to ensure the body’s absorption, and that proper levels are maintained in the body. We have many Vitamin D options available at GreenAcres.

Get Your Omega-3’s…Your Heart Will Thank You!February 16, 2012
Filed under: Supplements - greenacres @ 5:41 PM
You may have heard about the recent hype surrounding fish oil. It’s not just a supplement for athletes or health nuts anymore. Even Wal-Mart, Target, and Walgreen’s are carrying their own brands of fish oil. But what is for? Who should take it? How do you choose which brand to buy? Doesn’t it taste like fish? We want to answer some of these questions for you, and help you on your way to wellness.
Consuming fish oil has been used in many folkloric scenarios. Some people take it for depression, dyslexia, menstrual pain, diabetes, or arthritis. It seems there is no condition that people aren’t treating with fish oil. But though it may not be effective for all of these conditions, there are many conditions with which fish oil has a proven track record of aiding. They may have been on to something!
What is it? Omega-3 Fatty acids are found in 3 main types: EPA, DHA, and ALA. Consuming a balance of these components has been found to improve overall health benefits dramatically! The World Health Organization recommends at least 2 grams of Omega-3 oils per day. Because the body does not produce these beneficial fats, the only way to get them is through diet or supplementation.
What does it do? Omega-3 fatty acids(found in fatty fish like salmon) and alpha-linolenic fatty acids [ALA] (found in plant foods like walnuts) help boost the immune system, reduce blood clots, and protect against heart attacks. They increase good [HDL] cholesterol levels. They can lower trygliceride levels [when you think of fat developing and being stored in your hips or belly, you're thinking of triglycerides]. They protect arteries from plaque buildup, are anti-inflammatories, and lower blood pressure. That’s great news for your heart whether you’re 25 or 95! And it’s never too early to begin a heart healthy regimen that incorporates Omega-3’s into a balanced, fruit-and-veggie based diet to help your heart help you live a better, longer life.
But doesn’t it taste like fish? Sometimes…but it shouldn’t! If it does, you know it has gone bad, or worse it wasn’t good in the first place. It is absolutely critical that you buy a high-quality fish oil, independently tested for purity. You don’t want to skimp here! If you’re buying a cheap, box-store-variety fish oil, you may be getting a low quality product that gives you fewer benefits, and may even have unpleasant side effects…like fish burps! Yuck! And it’s not just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous. Environmental advocates in California recently filed a lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court against Omega-3 supplement manufacturers following the release of test results showing that several products tested did not meet California PCB and Dioxin standards. 
We carry many types of Omega-3’s and fish oils at GreenAcres, and we hand-pick them to ensure that the companies creating these products are using only the highest quality goods with the highest safety standards in the industry. Here are just a few brands that we recommend:
- Nordic Naturals
- ReNew Life
- Enzymatic Therapy
- New Chapter
- and more!
Are You Healthy Enough for the New Year?January 16, 2012
Filed under: Classes & Events, Supplements - greenacres @ 11:52 AM
.jpg)
Wednesday, January 18th at 7:00pm
The low-down on this week's seminar:
The new year is a time to begin anew and “clean up your act.” You are constantly exposed to toxins from your diet, your environment and from your own metabolism. There are a multitude of symptoms that can indicate a toxic overload within your body. Unlike your automobile, there are no warning lights like on your dashboard to tell you to stop and fix something, but there are warning signs that you might be carrying a toxic overload. If you’re feeling increasingly tired or sluggish, regularly fatigued during the day, anxious, stressed, or struggle with your weight, your body may be crying for a cleanse; consider these your “warning lights” telling you to stop and perform some much-needed body maintenance.
Cleansing and detoxification can be just the way to manage these pesky, often chronic symptoms. If you’re like many people, though, the thought of “cleansing” brings up connotations of maple syrup with cayenne pepper, starvation, and bathroom breaks. But you may not know that the body naturally detoxifies every day. Detoxification is a normal bodily process. The liver and colon, to name two big players in your body’s cleansing world, work to eliminate or neutralize toxins day in and day out.
But sometimes your body needs a little push when the toxic load gets to be too much for your body to control on its own. Healthy and balanced whole-body detox uses your body’s natural cleansers to their fullest potential, and aids them in their detox efforts. A whole body cleansing regimen adds fresh, healthy, home-made foods to your diet, cuts out the offenders we know we shouldn’t be eating—and that make us feel sluggish in the first place—and gives us a sense of mental clarity and body wellness, without the crutches of caffeine and sugar.
So how can you get started? There’s a lot to learn about this purification process, and each person should choose the cleanse that is right for their body. Thankfully, you don’t have to go it alone. Dr. Gaetano Morello will be holding a free seminar, Wednesday, January 18th at GreenAcres Market on healthy whole-body cleansing. Dr. Gaetano Morello is a naturopathic physician practicing in West Vancouver, Canada. For the past 17 years, Dr. Morello has been training and educating physicians, pharmacists and health experts on the scientific use of natural medicines in the fields of cardiology, immunology, gastroenterology, anti-aging and detoxification. He is lecturer and regular contributor to a number of magazines, journals and publications, and has hosted and appeared on numerous television and radio shows discussing the power of natural medicine. This is your chance to hear one of the nation’s leading experts!
All attendees will receive a free copy of Morello’s book, Whole Body Cleansing: Transform Your Health Through Gentle Purification and Effective Detoxification. Dr. Morello will walk us through where toxins come from, what they do to our bodies, and what we can do to eliminate them from our bodies. In addition to highlighting intensive detox, he will also teach us how we can incorporate detox into our daily lives through a natural and healthy lifestyle. You won’t want to miss this informative evening. This is your chance to make a significant impact on your health!

PGX—Meet the Guinea Pigs!January 12, 2012
Filed under: Natural Living, Supplements - greenacres @ 3:29 PM
This month we are featuring PGX as one of our most popular and most effective weight loss aids. In order to make this a little more fun for all of us, and give you a real-time sense of what PGX can do for you, we've chosen a guinea pig at each location that is trying the PGX diet and letting us know how it works for them. But first, a bit about what PGX is, and how it works:
PGX is a proprietary blend of water-soluble plant fibers. That doesn't sound too complex, right? So how could it possibly work? Well, it is the simplicity of PGX that makes it most powerful. The key to using PGX for weight loss or weight management is what it does to regulate blood sugar levels in your body. Becuase of its slow viscosity rate, the fiber, mixed with your food intake, and digestive acids and enzymes, stay in your digestive tract longer, giving your body the impression of a greater volume of food, and limiting your drop in blood sugar as well as pesky cravings. If you take PGX before a meal, you'll feel more satiated, and want to eat less; and your meal will last longer and make you less prone to hunger pangs and food cravings.
PGX comes in a softgel that you take 20-40 minutes before meals, or in granules that you simply mix in with your food.
That's it, in a nutshell. To learn more about PGX straight from the horse's mouth, visit their webpage.
Or view a short video of GreenAcres Wichita manager Matt Murray on Facebook!
So let's get to our guinea pigs. Kansas City's guinea pig is Annie. Read her first couple of journal entries on how PGX is treating her so far:
Day 1—Okay, the holidays are officially over and today I am starting on PGX. Had it mixed in with yogurt this morning with berries and granola. Don’t really notice it. Tried it in a drink around noon, but is too grainy. Really much better over
food. Does seem to make me feel fuller. My emphasis with this is definitely weight loss. But am faced with a really big challenge of taking it while on a cruise in a week. We’ll see how that goes.
Day 4—Weighed myself this morning and am 2 lbs down!!!! Woo-hoo. Do feel much fuller throughout the day, but not uncomfortable. If I start to feel a bit bloated, I know that I need to drink more water. But I normally drink water throughout the day, so no big deal. Leaving tomorrow for my week-long cruise. Hope my experience doesn’t give PGX a “bad name!!!!” J
Thanks, Annie! Good luck! We can't wait to see what the next chapter will be in your weight loss story!
New BioSil Bone Support from Natural FactorsSeptember 19, 2011
Filed under: Supplements - greenacres @ 3:09 PM
“Bones are not inert structures, like the beams or pillars of your house. They are dynamic living tissue that requires a wide range of nutrients for optimal health—and not just minerals like calcium.” —Dr. Michael Murray of doctormurray.com.
Intro BioSil from Natural Factors. BioSil provides a unique blend of vitamins and minerals designed to support bone health and assist in regenerating bone, naturally and safely. The folks at Natural Factors have come out with 2 new products in the BioSil line designed to work together to build bone strength and health. BioSil Bone Mineralizer provides 3 forms of calcium to increase bone mineral density. These 3 type are specially formulated to be easier to digest than many leading calcium supplements, so your doses may be taken between meals with little likelihood of an upset stomach. Because less than half of dietary calcium (calcium consumed through food and drink) is absorbed into our bones, the calcium source in BioSil is paired with other materials like Magnesium, MK-7, and Lysine. These ensure that the calcium is transported to the bones, giving it a greater likelihood of absorption.
While this alone can do tremendous good for bone strength, to reap the full effects of the BioSil system it is best to pair the Bone Mineralizer with the Bone Collagenizer. New bone growth is made possible by the work of collagen—the key building block of bone tissue, comprising nearly a third of all bone matter. Collagen provides the "binding sites" for calcium and other bone minerals. When bone collagen diminishes, bone mineral density decreases. The collagen, calcium, and Vitamin D (to name a few) in BioSil all work together to build the strong chemical bonds that make for super-strong bones. In addition, collagen gives bones the vital flexibility they need. New bone research reveals that collagen, in conjunction with deposited calcium, gives bones their ability to withstand physical stress, as with sudden impact.
All this in combination with a good, alkaline-based diet—fruits, veggies, nuts & legumes—and regular physical exercise can go a long way toward preventing problems with osteoporosis in the future. Don’t wait! Start your bone health regimen today! BioSil’s new Mineralizer and Collagenizer are also available in a combined value pack…and they’re all on sale thru the month of September! Come in and see if BioSil’s bone support pack could be right for you.
Are Your Hormones in Balance?September 15, 2011
Filed under: Classes & Events, Natural Living, Supplements - greenacres @ 4:07 PM
Join us Thursday, September 22nd at 7:00pm at the store for an in-depth class on women’s hormone health. Do you suffer from pre-menstrual symptoms like mood swings or cramps, are you having menopause-related symptoms like hot flashes or fatigue, or maybe you’re just feeling sluggish, un-interested in sex, or you’ve been experiencing weight gain. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you could be suffering from hormone imbalance. Join Dr. Holly Lucille for a look at natural remedies and safe solutions to combat a lack of hormone support.
Hormones are a vital part of everyone’s bodily functions. And men’s and women’s hormones function differently in each sex’s body. Everyone’s hormonal balance is affected by their diet. It is astounding the extent to which the foods we eat can dictate our hormonal balance. A high-carbohydrate diet of junk foods, processed vegetable oils, trans fats, stimulants, and soy products can instigate such an imbalance. Foods from animals that have been treated with hormones and antibiotics can also be prime candidates for throwing women’s hormones out of equilibrium. Many foods, including all kinds of meat products, and dairy products like milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, and more can all contain these offenders. It’s important to look out for hormone, antibiotic, and chemical-free products, and especially organic products, that will not be harmful to that delicate balance.
But what can you do to not just prevent, but fight your negative symptoms associated with hormone imbalance? Dr. Holly will address this very question using integrative medical techniques and training that focuses on naturopathic solutions.
To be a part of the conversation, simply attend this informative seminar. Call the store to save your spot, or click “Attending” on our Facebook page here. Registration is required, but there is no fee for attending. Hope to see you there!
