If you’ve ever suffered from intense pain in the neck, shoulder or upper back
you know that it can make getting through the day extremely difficult because
there are so many things we do that require our arms and head.

I know exactly what it’s like as I’ve had my fair share of injuries, including
shoulder problems brought on by weight lifting as well as a month long stiff
neck caused by a nasty mountain bike accident.

So I know a thing or two about how to deal with and eliminate these aches
and pains. Plus, over the past 5 years, here at the Healthy Back Institute
we’ve helped thousands of people overcome neck, shoulder and upper
back pain.

Here’s what we’ve found to work the best:

1. If brought on by an accident, as quickly as possible take Arnica.

Arnica is a homeopathic remedy that works very well when taken right after
injury and they even make small viles of pellets you can keep on you. I now
keep some in my car and also in my mountain biking pack.

2. Reduce the inflammation as quickly as possible.

There are many things you can do to reduce the inflammation. You can use
ice for the first 24-48 hours. Elevate the limb or injured part of the body.

You can also use a natural anti-inflammatory like Lifezyme Plus.
Provided there’s no open wound you can also use a topical pain relieving cream
like Rub on Relief.

3. Eliminate muscle spasms and relieve tight, stiff muscles

Muscles in spasms can wreak havoc on your body and what many people
don’t realize is your muscles can be a in a state of “semi” spasms.. meaning
the spasm isn’t intense enough for you to notice but while mild it can still pull
your body out alignment and cause other problems.

One way to address this is trigger point therapy which can be administered
by a trained therapist and much of it you can even do yourself.

4. Ensure your mindset is programmed for recovery

Believe it or not, your mind… how you think, what you feel, etc all plays a
MAJOR role in your ability to heal and recover. And if you don’t believe it,
I challenge you to do some research and see what you discover. Start by
reading this special report on the subject.

But in the meantime, just remember that you must tell yourself that you
WILL overcome this and you must believe it.

5. Identify and address your muscle imbalances

Whether your pain was caused by an accident or not, you have imbalances…
we all do and the worse they are the more likely they are to create conditions
and cause pain.

If you haven’t already identified your imbalances using our best-selling
Lose The Back Pain system you really need to. You can’ expect to get lasting
relief if you don’t uncover and address the underlying cause.

And before you try to say “my condition was caused by ______” let me remind
you that regardless of what you may have been diagnosed with and what you
have been told, or what you believe caused it, I can promise you that muscle
imbalances ARE a factor…

In fact, I’m willing to bet that they are a BIGGER factor than you may think and
that once you start to address them you WILL start to see improvements…

And often times people see improvements in so many other areas in addition
to the “condition or pain” that got them started in the first place.

Well, I wish you the best and hope that you will take action and continue to
learn and experiment.

If you ever have questions please post them in our discussion forum.

Talk to you again soon…

How To Work Some Magic on Your Metabolism

So many people are talking about how slow their metabolism is and why they need to start taking the latest diet supplement yet they don’t even understand how the human metabolism, their own body works.

So before I even go into how to speed yours up, I want to first go over some of the basics.

What is metabolism?

There are many scientific ways for me to put to you and I could make it seem really confusing like most of the so-called experts do, but I won’t. I’m going to give you my extremely simple and easy to understand definition… metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories to sustain life.

I should also note that your body, yes yours, burns calories 24 hours a day, everyday - regardless of whether or not you workout or not.

Remember that, your body needs energy all the time, even while you’re a sleep and that is why skipping meals is the absolute worst thing you can do if your goal is to lose weight (body fat).

Before we go any further let’s talk about what affects metabolism…

What affects metabolism?

What do you think has the biggest impact on your metabolism? Activity levels? Your Thyroid? Age?

WRONG! WRONG! and WRONG!

Activity levels, Thyroid function, and age do affect metabolism but not nearly as much as…any idea?

It’s muscle tissue! The more muscle you have the more calories you burn regardless of how active you are, how old you are, etc. It’s live tissue and it’s there working for you and burning calories 24 hours a day – each and every day!

Here’s a list of some of the factors affecting metabolism:

Why does it slow down?

How many times have you heard someone say, “as soon as you hit 30 your metabolism slows down”?

Maybe you’ve said it. I know I hear it all the time and I got tired of hearing it so I did a little research and found that the metabolism does NOT slow down significantly due to aging but DOES due to a lack of muscle. And, you don’t lose muscle quickly due to aging either but due to a decrease or lack of physical stress.

So, the major cause of a slowing metabolism is three fold…

1. you lose muscle due to the lack of physical stress

2. your body cannibalizes muscle when it needs energy but you won’t supply any because you are “dieting” and skipping meals

3. your activity levels tend to decrease as you get older.

So now we know the problem… what’s the solution?

Address those 3 issues! I’ve found with years of experience in helping hundreds of people, that increasing your metabolism and getting rid of that excess body fat can often times be quite easy!

Yet you’ll hear of all these experts telling you how hard it is and why you need to buy their new diet program, supplement, or fitness contraption.

It’s not that hard, it doesn’t have to be confusing, and you don’t need any of that crap! All you need is an understanding of how your body works and the willingness to make some small changes.

Here’s my basic formula for jump starting your metabolism:

Step 1 - Stop the storage of new fat

It doesn’t make any sense to start an exercise program if you just end up adding new fat later that day. This is a problem that is very common among people who start an exercise in an attempt to lose weight.

See the problem is this…We don’t get fat due to a lack of exercise – we get fat because we supply the body with more calories than it needs at a given time.

So the solution has nothing to do with exercise – it’s all about your eating! And I’m not saying you have to eat low-fat, super clean and healthy diet consisting of salad and tofu only. You can still eat the foods you like IF you can give the body just the amount it needs.

The key is to give the body the energy it needs, but just that amount not a bunch extra because extra is extra is extra, it doesn’t matter what it’s from. Salad can be stored as fat, celery can be stored as fat – if it results in extra it can be stored as fat. I should also note that not all extra energy is stored in the fat cells and I will touch on that later.

So forget about trying to burn off any fat unless you can first stop storing new fat! Again, you do that by matching your eating to your activity level. This means small, balanced meals or snacks every 2-3 hours and the amount of calories in each feeding should depend on how active you are at that time of day.

Step 2 – Attack the existing fat

This requires a combination approach consisting of stable blood sugar/energy levels, and progressive cardiovascular/aerobic exercise and strength training.

We already talked about how important stable blood sugar and energy levels are and how to match you eating to your activity level so now I’d like to cover the exercise part of the equation.

In order for the exercise to even be worth your time you must be sure it’s progressive. Just because you run on the treadmill for 30 minutes three times a week, that doesn’t mean your body has to burn off that unwanted body fat!

You have to force the body makes changes and improvements and the ONLY way to do that is to consistently provide a stimulus or stress that is greater than what the body is used to.

Here are some general guidelines on how you can make your exercise progressive and productive:

Strength training

Cardiovascular training

Best wishes,
Jesse

while back I emailed you about Lifezyme Plus, an all-nat-ural formula we developed that contains 11 powerful enzymes, herbs and vitamins. And this combination has allowed thousands of people to finally get relief… even when prescription drugs weren’t working.

It looks like you haven’t tried it yet so I wanted to send you a free bottle so you can see for yourself just how well it works.

If you’re skeptical, you should be. There’s tons of people promising you relief and yet it seems almost everything you try gives only temporary relief if you’re lucky.

That’s why I’d like to send you a bottle to try so you can be the judge. If it works for you like it has for thousands of others, great… and if not, at least you tried it.

Don’t be like the people who write in to tell us how great it worked for them but they wish they wouldn’t have waited so long to try it.

And if you still have doubts about whether you should try it or not, read these emails we’ve received from customers:

To: jesse@gethealthyandfit.com

I was trying to locate a spot on your web to tell you how wonderful your product is and how it has changed my life.Here’s my story:

In 1991 I was diagnosised with a Chordoma tumor in L3. I had several experimental surgeries to excise the tumor. I was left with a bone strut that collasped into my spinal canal and left me with spinal stenosis and a weak right leg and drop foot.

Because of all this trauma to my back, spine, and left leg, I now have bulging disk L4 and L5. As a result of this, I developed scaitica. I was in pain for 1 and 1/2 years.

I tried everything; chiropractor, epidural injections, physical therapy, pain medicines, massages, ect. I was desperate and thats when I found your website. I decided to try your product Lifezyme Plus and after 3 weeks that pain was gone. I continue to take LP and my life is so much sweeter.

Since the scaitic pain has left my life I am a different person. Thank you for your product. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever feel good again but I do!

Hi Jesse
I started taking the Lifezyme a week ago and have seen a slow but steady improvement in pain and movement. The mornings are the worst for me, even though I have a tempurpedic bed. But the recovery in the mornings is coming quicker each day, to where I can bend over wth little discomfort fairly early in the day, whereas before, the stiffness and pain would last throughout the day with little improvement. I have prayed to God for help, and I believe He directed me to you guys. God bless you, and I will check in periodically.

By the way, I forgot to mention… Lifezyme Plus helps with dozens of other conditions like:

- Fibromyalgia
- Arthritis
- Carpal Tunnel
- High blood pressure
- Knee pain
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- And a bunch more

Here’s another story we received from a customer:

No More PMS Pain

“I was stuck in a 3 day meeting out of town and started my period unexpectedly.  There I was miles from home with no easy way to get my usual pain relief medicine.  I quietly asked around and a friend gave me some of her Lifezyme Plus.  “Something is better than nothing I thought” But boy was I wrong… This something was FANTASTIC.

Usually it hurts so much I find myself totally distracted or I’m at least very uncomfortable the whole 5 days even with traditional over the counter pain relief supposedly designed for that unpleasant week every month.  But with this I felt great… no pain and I can’t believe how fast it worked!  I now have two bottles on stand by…one for the office and one for the house.”

Christa Trantham, Dallas Texas

And you can tons of other stories from people of all ages who had suffered from all sorts of aches, pains and conditions but now feel better than ever because of Lifezyme Plus.
