Stop Sitting So Much!
Sedentary lifestyles are a recipe for health problems.
You’ve likely heard the expression, “Sitting is the new smoking.” Studies have time and again concluded a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of developing osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Here’s a snapshot of what happens when you sit too much:
Your metabolic rate plummets. You burn fewer calories when you sit, which frequently leads to weight gain over time. Exercise helps, but considering the average person with a desk job sits for at least 10 hours a day (including time for meals and commuting) and sleeps 8 hours, it’s hard to rev the metabolism with just 6 hours remaining in the day.
Your triglyceride levels go up. Triglycerides supply energy for your body. If your body doesn’t have an immediate need for energy, the triglycerides are stored as fat for a future energy reserve. Elevated triglyceride level is a risk factor for
coronary artery disease.
Circulation to your legs slows. Prolonged sitting can lead to pooled blood in your lower extremities, leading to varicose veins and swollen ankles. In serious cases it can lead to blood clots deep in your leg veins, a dangerous condition called deep vein thrombosis.
Your bones get soft.
Weight-bearing exercises like running and walking are needed to stimulate your hip and lower body bones to grow thicker and stronger. Some scientists say a recent surge in osteoporosis is linked to sedentary lifestyle.
You trigger your body’s inflammatory process. – Several different studies have shown that increased sitting time correlates with increased levels of C-reactive protein, a blood marker for inflammation.

RenewU is a win for this championship driver on and off the track.
Dennis Hanratty, 60, of Carlisle, Pa., caught the racing bug when he was just a young kid. “I remember watching a movie about race cars, and I was hooked,” he recalls. Once he was old enough to get behind the wheel, he discovered he had a natural talent for it, and this led him to race car driving school. After that, he entered the racing circuit. Fast forward decades later, and you’ll find Hanratty in the same spot – behind the wheel of his race car. Topping speeds of 170 miles per hour, he has zoomed along tracks from coast to coast, racing historic Formula One cars. “These are multi-million dollar cars, so you can’t afford to bend them. Concentration is key,” he says.
Interestingly, this is what led Hanratty to Res-Q RenewU. “When you are driving a race car, concentration is paramount,” he says. “I heard a doctor talking about RenewU on the radio, and she said it helped with concentration, focus and energy, so I decided to give it a try. I thought maybe it would give me a competitive advantage.”
That was a few months ago –and he’s become a big fan of the anti-aging drink. “For me, Res-Q RenewU absolutely works. I noticed results after a couple months,” he says. “I have better focus behind the wheel and I definitely have more energy.”
That’s important, because races last about 45 minutes from green to checkered flags – a long time to maintain intense focus on the track.

When you are driving a race car, concentration is paramount. With RenewU, I have better focus behind the wheel and I definitely have more energy.
Plus, preparation for races is physically demanding, and it’s something Hanratty fits into his job schedule as a fulltime quality assurance manager for a manufacturing firm. “I’m on my feet all day, not behind a desk,” he says. “With RenewU, I don’t feel as weary.”
Slowed reaction time is a common reason to get out of racing, but Hanratty’s not worried about that happening anytime in the near future. He hopes to race well into his 80s.
While Hanratty has spent much of his life racing and garnering trophies for various regional championships, he cites his best accomplishment as his son, who races professionally in the Pirelli World Challenge. “Our lives really center around motorsports. There’s lots of racing ahead!”

Spring Clean Your Health: TOXINS
Let’s face it, toxins are everywhere and we are exposed on a daily basis. The air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink are some of the main sources, but toxins are also found in medications, personal care products, food storage containers, air fresheners and other common materials we are exposed to daily.
Sadly, we live in a toxic world and must make efforts to reduce our daily exposure and help our body to safely eliminate these toxins.
Toxins have been linked to a myriad of health concerns and diseases including cancer, endocrine disorders, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, neurological disorders, heart disease, chronic fatigue, arthritis and skin disorders. Toxins also damage our DNA, which accelerates aging and degeneration.
Symptoms of toxicity include:
• Headaches
• Lethargy
• Digestive disorders
• Skin rashes
• Weight gain
• Asthma/allergies
• Immune weaknesses
• Joint pain
• Chemical sensitivity
• Brain fog/poor concentration
Now that you are aware of the impact toxins can have on your health, let’s discuss how to reduce your daily exposure and help to safely remove toxins from your body.
Diet ‘Detox’
Reduce your intake of pesticides by choosing organic produce, especially if that fruit or vegetable is on the “dirty dozen” list, which comes out yearly by the Environmental Working Group. These are the 12 most heavily contaminated fruits and vegetables. You should also choose wild fish over farmed fish and limit highmercury fish such as tuna and swordfish. When it comes to meat and poultry, choose hormone-free, antibiotic-free. Also, stay hydrated as this helps to flush toxins from your body.

Ditch the Plastic
Did you know indoor air tends to be more toxic than outdoor air? Identify and remove the main sources of toxins in your home. Avoid plastic when possible, including plastic storage containers, microwaving or cooking with plastic (including plastic wrap or microwaving frozen food in the bags they came in), air fresheners, most candles and personal care products (deodorant, lotion, etc.).
Sweat!
Sweat releases toxins from your body, including heavy metals, bisphenol-A (BPA) and phthalates. Whether you exercise or use an infrared-sauna, sweating is an effective way to help your body detoxify.

Use Supplements
When it comes to detoxification, there are three Res-Q supplements I recommend:
Cardio DETOX 365 is a daily detoxification supplement that contains modified citrus pectin and sodium alginate. These ingredients help to trap and eliminate toxins safely from your body, which ultimately can help to reduce your risk of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases.
Cardio GUARD is another gentle option for helping your body to naturally detoxify. The main ingredients include chlorella, royal jelly and Serrazimes®, a patented proteolytic enzyme. This supplement helps to safely trap and eliminate toxins from your body and also promotes gentle cleansing of the blood and supports your liver, one of your body’s main detoxification organs. In addition, it supports a healthy heart, by breaking down excess fibrin in your blood, which can potentially lead to blood clots.
Finally, CurcuminULTRA contains turmeric. This powerful ingredient stimulates our detoxification pathway and protects your liver from toxic compounds.
