Ultra-D, Liquid Chlorophyll and Omega E-ssentials
Innerlight is having a 30 day promotion for the following products.
“Ultra D™” by InnerLight is a natural form of Vitamin D3 that provides overall support for bones, promotes a healthy immune system and may reduce both fatigue and inflammation. Studies have shown that Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is more effective in preventing disease and increasing bone health than vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol.
Omega E-ssentials is a blend of good fats called Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s). Although they are called “acids”, EFAs are not harmful; they are essential. The EFA’s in Omega Essentials are helpful in achieving ideal health as they contain all 3 key groupings of EFA’s: Omega-3’s, 6’s and 9’s.
Chlorophyll is identical to your hemoglobin except for the center atom (Magnesium as opposed to Iron). Research indicates as one increases their consumption of chlorophyll the quality and quantity of the red blood cells improve. This can be noted on a CBC medical test as the red blood count increases and the hemoglobin increases in the healthy ranges. Liquid Chlorophyll can be added to water or SuperGreens to improve the concentration of this powerful blood builder. A great way to transition a new person to the “green” lifestyle.

Water is the key to all body function
Everyone knows we cannot survive without water. According to studies, people who drink a sufficient amount of the right kinds of liquids (distilled water, fresh water, fresh fruits and vegetables and their juices) have better body functioning and circulation overall, which are most important to healthy and long life.
Are you drinking the right kind of water?
Water plays an important part in our body function. When we are born, we are 80% water. When we died, we are only 50% water. This study shows that most of us are dehydrated. Water helps to circulated our blood and purge toxins out of the body. We feel thirsty whenever our blood becomes thick. Water also helps to keep the cells healthy and make the skin looks better.
Water is abundant on earth but only 0.08% of all the water is clean water. So what water is beneficial to our body? We need water that are :
- Neutral to negative pH.
- Rich in bio available minerals.
- Nutritional delivery system.
- Nature’s cleaning solution
- Free of contaminants.
Is it safe to consume our tap water?
There are also many contaminant in our tap water such as chlorine, fluoride, trihalomethanes and many inorganic contaminants. Chlorine is used to kill the bacteria but it is also killing all organic minerals that are beneficial to our health. The long term health consequences in consuming these contaminant are stroke, cancer, liver and kidney failure, digestive disorder and many more! The problem is we have always thought that our government has taken care of our water and thus, it never come across our mind that we are actually consuming low dosage of poison regularly.
Below is a video about water
Bottled Water – Our Solution?
No doubt bottled water is a better choice but is it really safe? The bottled water industry is growing rapidly and can we still trust the water in the bottle? There are cases where bottles of tap water are sold as mineral water. In addition, it is more expensive to use bottled water in our daily life. Not to mentioned about the plastic bottles that we are throwing away, that adds to the burden to our Earth.
Filter Water – Best Solution

Intermittent Fasting
What is intermittent fasting (IF)?
Intermittent fasting (shortened as IF) is a pattern of eating for certain number of hours and then fast for certain number of hours. In short, IF is eat-stop-eat pattern.
Why IF works better than normal dieting?
We take our breakfast, lunch and dinner whether we are hungry or not. We tend to eat snacks and take soft drinks in between meals. Just before we go to bed, we would like a glass of milk or make ourselves a nice sandwich. We are eating all day long. No wonder it is difficult to fight off the weight.
When we talk about dieting, we expect LONG TERM hunger and suffering. When we plan to loose a few pounds, we expect a few months or even a year of hunger. Most of the time, we don’t know when we can stop dieting. It seems to be a life-long task. No wonder we resent dieting.
IF works better than dieting. The person only fast for a certain number of hours. He/she can look forward to the next time he/she can eat again. There is little or no resistance to this kind of plan. Another reason why IF works is that you can adjust your IF plan to suit your lifestyle.
Benefit of fasting
- Mentally more alert.
- Loose weight.
- Build muscle mass : If you do a internet search, you will find pictures of people claiming weight loss and muscle growth using IF.
- Age slower and live longer : Research suggests that animals age slower and live longer when they consume fewer calories in Wikipedia and New York Times.
- Cleanse the digestive system.
- Save the environment : Every piece of food we eat produce carbon footprint. The less we eat, the less carbon footprint we produce.
How to do intermittent fasting?
There are many ways to do IF. The way to start IF is to find a plan that suits your lifestyle. Below are some suggestions on how people do their IF. During the IF, you are allow to drink liquid intake like plain water and green tea as long as the liquid intake must not contain sugar. You can also drink Supergreens during the fasting.
- Longer IF
- Weekend fasting : You fast for 24 hours on your weekend. For example, you eat your dinner on Saturday night and start fasting until Sunday dinner time. Some people continue fasting till Monday breakfast time.
- Twice a week : You can do a 24 hour fasting twice a week.
- Use IF together with liquid diet
- Short IF
- Extend your usual fasting hours : You have been fasting everyday. You stop taking food after your dinner or supper and fast until the next day. That’s why your first meal of the day is is spelled as “break-fast“. You just have to lengthen this daily fasting period to maybe 18 hours before you starting eating normally.
- 1 meal a day : Some people fast for 18 hours and allow eating during the next 3 hours and then fast for another 18 hours.That is about 1 meal per day.
While there is so much benefit in doing IF, there is still a chance of overeating after your fast. Fasting may not be suitable for people that have health concerns like blood sugar problems.
There is no failure in IF. You can start IF anytime and stop whenever you want. No more weight loss dieting.
