Women’s Rush Relief Joint Health Formula by Dr. Benjamin Rush

· 6 Comments

Inflammation is an enemy. It is a component of several health issues and discomfort. Many factors cause excess inflammation in women. Research shows specific ingredients reduce inflammation. Women’s Rush Relief is a formulation of effective, natural anti-inflammatories. It‘s designed to stop the damaging impact of inflammation and relieve pain.

Many chronic health issues and acute injuries have a common factor: inflammation exists. Inflammation can damage and deteriorate the body, weaken cartilage, impair productivity and function as well as cause discomfort. But inflammation can be greatly reduced.

The Ginger in this formulation benefits menstrual discomfort and other inflammatory responses

The formulation contains Ginger and other anti-inflammatories to naturally reduce inflammation and pain.

Who Benefits from Women’s Rush Relief?

This Joint Health Formula is designed for women who have joint pain. But these ingredients also benefit a host of other health issues that have an inflammatory response.

Injury, Illness & Aging

If you’ve experienced an injury, especially to a joint, there’s typically inflammatory discomfort. Anti-inflammatories reduce the inflammation response and associated pain and allow healing and restore better function.

Even without injury or illness, several factors increase inflammation over time for women including age, weight, hormones, menstrual discomfort and metabolism.[1]

If back or knee pain is limiting your function or activity level, you’re not alone. Dr. Rush’s Formula is designed for women who need support to sustain optimal function.

migraine headaches

Many women experience hormonal migraines or headaches. The inflammatory component of headaches and migraines is painful and severely debilitating. But the right combinations and dosages of specific natural anti-inflammatories can relieve migraine pain.

Research shows turmeric as effective as one prescription migraine medication (beta-blocker class). It curtailed the inflammation response in 2 out of 3 migraine stages. [2] Women’s Rush Relief contains turmeric and several other supporting anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Post Workout Recovery

Are you sore a day or two AFTER a workout? This is called Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This includes the soreness after a strenuous “leg day”, pilates, barre, and yoga. Ease the pain of inflammation naturally. Faster recuperation means less discomfort and less down-time between workouts.

Two soft capsules daily reduces inflammation and optimizes function

Skin

Here is a lovely bonus. These ingredients also address skin inflammation and therefore offer anti-aging skin benefits. Removing skin inflammation keeps skin younger and fresher with less sagging, dullness, and fewer wrinkles. Don’t age before your time – stop inflammation in its’ tracks!

Turmeric for headaches

Turmeric helps ease headaches

 Women’s Rush Relief contains a research-backed turmeric dosage to stop the painful inflammation stage of a headache. 

Getting Your Daily Anti-Inflammatory Dose

A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods is a wonderful first step to feeling better. But the most effective anti-inflammatories are often lacking or completely missing from our dietary intake. Women’s Rush Relief contains effective, research-backed, natural anti-inflammatories.

Let’s examine this formulation’s contents and see independent supporting research behind the efficacy of each ingredient.

INGREDIENTS

Turmeric Root

Turmeric root

Turmeric Root is an amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It is flavorful and tangy, but an acquired taste. Consuming larger quantities is necessary for true anti-inflammatory benefits. This golden root addresses inflammation pathways to reduce pain and inflammation.

Curcumin is the primary active in Turmeric. Curcumin has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and analgesic effects.

 

Glucosamine Sulfate

Glucosamine is a shellfish* product. It maintains healthy cartilage by rebuilding cartilage lost due to age or injury. It increases type II collagen and proteoglycan synthesis while reducing pro-inflammatory factors.  It improves the anabolic/catabolic balance of the extracellular cartilage matrix (ECM). [3]

 

Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin stimulates healthy cartilage and aids in post-workout recovery. It is paired with Glucosamine to support injured or aging joints. Clinical trials report chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate offer pain control and increased function. [4]

 

Ginger Extract

Ginger root 

Ginger root is available fresh or in ground powder form. Ginger reduces inflammation. Studies show two components of ginger, gingerol and zingerone reduce the inflammation to a number of common diseases and ailments. Ginger eases menstrual pain.

Do you experience soreness after a good workout? Studies show daily ginger consumption “resulted in moderate-to-large reductions in muscle pain following exercise-induced muscle injury.” [5] Ginger is also an effective pain reliever in osteoarthritis patients. [6]

 

Boswellia Extract

Boswellia is an herbal extract from the Boswellia serrata tree. It has long been used in folk medicine. It’s believed to treat chronic inflammatory illnesses and certain health conditions because it demonstrates potent anti-inflammatory actions. It even demonstrates certain anti-cancer activities. [7]

A research study showed Boswellia helps osteoarthritis. In the said study, OA knee pain decreased after 90 days use of the Boswellia product. It also reduced the levels of a cartilage-degrading enzyme. [8]

 

MSM

MSM is Methylsulfonylmethane. MSM is a natural sulfur found in some plants, nuts and cruciferous vegetables. It supports healthy tissue development including skin, joint, and lumbar tissue. Some studies show MSM reduces breast cancer inflammation. [9] Another study of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee took MSM for 12 weeks and showed an improvement in pain and physical function. [10]

 

Bioperine

Bioperine is another name for piperine. Piperine is a compound that comes from black pepper. It increases absorption.  Its role in this formulation is Turmeric support. The Curcumin in Turmeric is poorly absorbed when taken alone. Bioperine boosts absorption up to 2000%. [11] Bioperine is key to maximum turmeric benefit.

Black peppercorns contain piperine AKA Bioperine, which naturally enhances absorption for maximum benefit

Quercetin

Quercetin is a “polyphenolic antioxidant” or flavonoid antioxidant [12] found in plant foods, including leafy greens, tomatoes, berries, broccoli. red wine, green tea, and kale. [13] It is an exceptionally powerful antioxidant to fight oxidative damage and free radicals. [13, 14]

 

Methionine

Methionine is an amino acid involved in body functions such as the synthesis of important vitamins like Vitamin B12.  Methionine is naturally found in spinach, zucchini, meat, fish, mushrooms, and asparagus.

 

Bromelain is found in the pineapple core

Bromelain

Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from the flesh and stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain reduces inflammation and swelling by breaking down the inflammation-causing molecules within the body. [15] It promotes wound healing, easing digestion, reducing muscular or joint pain, skin injuries and reduces allergies or asthma. [16]

WHAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN

  • No Glyphosate
  • No Sugar
  • NO PCB’s
  • NO Soy
  • NO Harmful pesticides
  • NO Gluten
  • NO Steriods
  • NO GMO’s

aftertaste

I didn’t experience any aftertaste. There is the slightest of light spicy aroma, which makes sense considering some of the ingredients are often used as spices.

Our Experience

We find this formulation particularly helpful with post-workout soreness. Instead of taking Advil after regular workouts, we find this formulation a particularly helpful and safe remedy to DOMS.

Women’s Rush Relief is an easy way to get daily Turmeric benefits without the fuss of powders or smoothie preparations.

It is easy to use. We try to regularly incorporate ginger and turmeric into smoothies. But even when fresh turmeric is available, it is time-consuming to grate it. Women’s Rush Relief gives all the benefits without the work.

Headaches are painful and disruptive. This formula reduces the frequency, duration, and intensity of hormonally influenced headaches. Most prescription migraine medications have undesirable side effects. Finding a natural remedy that is as effective as some prescription migraine medicines is an exciting find for headache sufferers.

I am also pleased to reduce my Advil or ibuprofen intake in favor of an equally effective natural treatment for general aches and pains.

Aside from feeling generally better and gaining a faster recuperation from my post-workout soreness, my skin has a lovely glow!

 

Research shows the combination of bromelain, turmeric, and quercetin work synergistically for maximum efficacy & optimal results

A Supplement to Function Optimally

Why live with discomfort? Don’t let an old injury, a headache or other health problems keep you from being as active as possible. Natural anti-inflammatories are a safe way to cope with a range of issues without the side effect profile of over-the-counter NSAIDS or prescription medications.

Athleisure Must-Haves for Every Wardrobe

· 1 Comment

The athleisure craze shows no signs of slowing down. What began as a tongue-in-cheek trend has since turned into a global fashion phenomenon, especially as more brands continue to offer their own take on the trend.

While it hasn’t always been referred to as such, athleisure is by no means a recent invention. Think back to the times when you had to dress up in ’80s outfits you were probably decked out in workout tights and spandex suits, with your hair up in a ponytail. These styles were already present, but the recent growth of the fitness industry means that more and more people are relying on these clothes to take them from the gym to a brunch date and back.

Read on below for five must-have items to rock an athleisure look:

A flattering tank top

Tank tops are an exercise godsend, as they manage to keep you covered up while not being too revealing. Some like a more compressed fit to aid their workouts, while others prefer a looser fit. Athleta’s Foothill tank suits both camps, as it can be tied at the back and adjusted to suit your own needs. Athleta also offers breezy crop tops for those who want a no-nonsense option.

A hooded jacket

Speaking of covering up, a jacket is your best bet for running straight to your errands. Woman Within’s light hooded jackets come in neutral hues, allowing you to go a little brighter with the rest of your clothes. The best part is that these jackets are light enough to stuff in your bag at a moment’s notice. When you’re not wearing your jacket, however, consider draping it around your shoulders for a chic look.

Reliable leggings

Leggings are usually the first thing that people think of when it comes to athleisure, with every other brand offering their take on supportive and well-fitting leggings. Durability is also an important factor, which is where Fantasfit’s High Waist Yoga Leggings take the cake.Their black leggings are a classic option, and the color is dark enough to be completely squat-proof.

A comfy sweater

There are few things more comforting than your favorite sweater, especially if you’re someone who lives in a colder climate. The North Face offers pullover hoodies decked out in fleece (also known as this fall season’s newest trend), with its looser style ensuring a good fit across all body types. Throw a sweater over a pair of leggings for a casual cool look that works even if you’re meeting friends for lunch.

Functional sneakers

Last but not least, it’s not a full athleisure look without a solid pair of sneakers. A good pair is worth investing in, especially as cross-training shoes provide the necessary support to get you through your day. Reebok™s CrossFit sneakers are a perfect example,and they come complete with orthopedic support. They’re pretty easy on the eyes, too.

One of athleisure’s biggest benefits is its emphasis on comfort. It’s the marriage of style, function, and wearability. That’s why its no surprise that some fashionistas have made the switch to wearing athleisure on a daily basis.

Health: Yunmai Premium Smart Scale for Meeting Health & Fitness Goals

· Leave a Comment

I’ve had the same scale in my bathroom for most of my life, and it has long lost its’ precision. So when I get weighed at the doctor or weigh myself at the gym, on occasion, I’m in for a bit of a shock. And an overall weight isn’t indicative of several factors, such as muscle mass, my percentage of fat, or percentage of visceral fat. So I’m thrilled to have found the Yunmai Premium Smart Scale which not only measures these important weight-related statistics, but pairs with its’ own Yunmai APP to sync with Apple health, Fitbit, and Google Fit to help track and achieve the overall fitness goals of the entire family.

FEATURE OVERVIEW

The Yunmai Premium Smart Scale measures ten important statistics of weight and overall health. These statistics can upload via Bluetooth to the Yunami app to monitor progress, track goals, or get an advisory report. The ten important statistics include:

  1. Weight
  2. Body Mass Index (BMI)
  3. Body fat ratio
  4. Water weight
  5. Muscle weight
  6. Bone weight percentage
  7. Visceral Fat
  8. Protein
  9. Body Age
  10. Basal Metabolic Rate
Not just a regular scale, it weighs and calculates multiple weight factors

The Yunmai APP is available for iOS (Apple) and Android smartphones. There is also a version for the iPad. The app is free to download and syncs itself up to the scale and can also be used with Apple health, Fitbit, and Google Fit.

The app is available for Android and Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad tablets.

ABOUT THE SCALE

PACKAGING

The packaging is understated and elegant. It is suitable for gift giving. The outer box contains the scale in a good looking inner box, and it is packed quite securely. The scale is secured even in the inner box with a foam wrap envelope. The batteries are included.

ABOUT THE YUNAMI APP FEATURES

The Yunmai Premium Smart Scale is a Bluetooth-enabled scale that gives precise measurements of a number of body composition factors. Since it is a scale, it does indeed measure weight, but it gives the reasons behind that weight.

The Bluetooth feature allows you to connect up to the Yunmai App, which is available for both Android and iOS. The Bluetooth pairs effortlessly and automatically shows detailed results of your weigh-in. It keeps a history of your stats so you can track your progress over time. This doesn’t just apply to weight, but all stats that are calculated with each weigh-in. For instance, it tracked that I lost nearly a pound of fat in a week’s time. Considering that a standard weight in pounds (or kilograms, the app gives both options) can be affected by the loss of muscle, water weight, etc., I was glad to know that the lost was fat.

Follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quick Start guide to connect the scale and app.

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE Yunmai Premium Smart SCALE & APP

The app’s comprehensive analysis feature allows you to see both an overview and individual statistics. For instance, my general health report showed that I lost 1.2 lbs over the course of seven days. It gives the option to share this information on Facebook and/or Twitter. This is a helpful option if you and your friends are supporting each other in a quest to get healthier.

The app then gives specifics of Body Components and how they factor into overall weight and health. Here’s an overview of the Body Components:

  • The first component is BMI. The app explains that BMI (Body Mass Index) is a value derived from the weight and height of a person. It shows where your figure falls on the spectrum of health to unhealthy numbers. I have a BMI of 18.6, which is pretty good.

  • The second component is your Body Fat percentage. The percentage comes from the total mass of your fat divided by your overall body mass, so it shows what percentage of your body is fat. This is an excellent percentage to know in order to ascertain what lifestyle changes you might need to make.

  • The third component is Muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than Fat, it is good to know the two percentages. If you have been doing a lot of muscle-building exercises, your weight can go up, even though you are losing fat. So knowing both your fat percentage and your Muscle Mass can give a better understanding of how your efforts affect your overall health, not just your weight.

  • I never gave Body Water much thought, but it is an interesting statistic to know. It is the total amount of fluid in the body. This is important to know when you may under or over attribute a weight gain or loss to high-sodium foods, or even if you are dehydrated.

  • Protein Percentage is a good statistic to have as it is the most abundant kind of molecule in the body aside from water. It assists in the growth, repair, and maintenance of the body, so it is essential to have a proper amount of protein in your system.
  • A component that is very good to know is the amount of Visceral fat in your system. Visceral fat is the fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity and surrounds many internal organs. Since a high level of Visceral Fat can be a predictor of metabolic disease, this is a very important statistic to track over time. I was glad to see that my figure was low but healthy.

Yunmai app screenshot

  • Bone Mass is the estimated weight of bone mineral in the body. Many women have lower than expected bone mass, but this can be reversed with dietary modifications if it is caught early enough. This feature is very helpful.
  • BMR is a very interesting statistic. Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of energy expended while at rest. Basically, it is the number of calories per day that you burn if you are sedentary. My BMR is 1222, which motivates me to get in a little bit of extra exercise since I can burn off weight fairly quickly if I eat a healthy diet.
  • Body Age is the last component and is a rather motivating one. It shows the age of your body based on health and fitness based on all of the Body Components combined. My Body Age is two years younger than my chronological age, but it does motivate me to work harder to keep my body and health at its’ optimal!

NOTABLE FEATURES

This is a great scale for families. The app can track the stats of up to 16 individual users and can be used on separate devices.

The app allows for adding up to sixteen family members to monitor and track progress

The extra large display is very useful: my vision isn’t terribly bad, but some scales are hard to see. The digital display is quite clear on this scale.

Another feature of this scale is that it still works even if the floor surface is not entirely flat, such as an older house, or on wide wood beams, tiles, or carpeting. This assures consistent results.

This scale is quite beautiful and works with a variety of decors, and it gives very helpful information to help you better manage your health. Of course, you should always work with your doctor if you are making any major lifestyle change, especially if you have a pre-existing condition.

Sponsored Post: Beauty Wellness with the Eucerin “Prepare to Repair” Video Series

· 34 Comments

Here at Style Chicks, we love the concept of Beauty Wellness: the things you do for your wellbeing that have an added beauty benefit, whether it is better posture, better sleep, or simply doing something that puts a glowing smile on your face. There is also no denying that we are huge skincare enthusiasts here, and we know you are too. The folks at Eucerin have combined Skincare and Beauty Wellness into a fantastic video series called “Prepare to Repair!

The Eucerin “Prepare to Repair” video series has simple, effective tips from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman to help repair skin’s moisture and from Fitness Instructor Kirsten Trued to help repair muscles. These tips will help optimize your total wellness efforts! In this series, Kirsten teaches a series of exercises that use a small ball for gentle firm pressure, emulating a known therapeutic sports massage technique.

HANDS AND FOREARMS

Our hands endure plenty of wear and tear during the day, ranging from using computer technology gear to washing dishes. The repetitive motion can be grueling to the tendons and muscles of the hand, which makes regular, gentle stretches so beneficial.

Fitness Instructor Kirsten Trued recommends two effective stretches to ease achiness and repair both hands and forearms, while moisturizing skin.

ECZEMA CAUSES

Winter wreaks skin havoc, causing dryness and redness, including Eczema flare-ups. To help pre-empt a flare-up, Eucerin Eczema Relief Body Creme contains colloidal oatmeal that soothes while Ceramide-3 acts a barrier to lock in moisture. I especially like to use this in dry environments such as those with indoor forced air heat, like my office building.

POST WORKOUT ECZEMA RELIEF

Sweating during a workout can provoke eczema breakouts, which means regular workouts can begin a vicious cycle. Eucerin Eczema Relief Flare-Up Treatment Creme is intended for use during an active flare-up. It contains Licochalcone A, a licorice extract which is clinically proven to significantly improve the skin’s appearance during flare-up phases.

The rich-feeling creme is fragrance-, steroid- and dye-free.

BACK AND CHEST

Keeping the muscles in your back, chest, and neck strong and toned is vital for proper posture. Good posture makes you look slimmer and taller, and feel younger and healthier. Have you noticed how people round their shoulders and extendedly bend their necks forward while using their phone, tablets, and laptops? These simple exercises not only will help undo some of the stress we put our neck each day but impart a smoother, more elegant neckline and collarbone.

I’ve been remiss over the years about upper body skin care. While I carefully slather my face and throat with skincare topicals and sunscreen, I’ve been haphazard with my shoulders, decolletage, and upper arms. But these areas all belie age with sun damage, dryness, lack of firmness and wrinkles.

What can be done to compensate for upper body skin neglect? Two Eucerin products that help reverse time are Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion and Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion.

AHA TO PROMOTE FIRMNESS, COLLAGEN, AND SMOOTHER SKIN

Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion contains one of my go-to favorite ingredients: Alpha Hydroxy Acid, also known as AHA. AHA, a natural acid found in foods, is a superstar of the skincare realm. AHA’s are often used in anti-aging products and treatments due to their ability to gently but effectively remove dead skin layers without the unsightly peeling or redness that manual exfoliation can cause.

For those with sensitive skin, AHAs can be drying, but Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion and Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion contain several buffering ingredients that keep skin hydrated enough to stay soft and supple while benefiting from AHA. What a great duo these two make to treat, protect and hydrate!

As a side note, I find the AHA in Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion quite helpful with Keratosis Pilaris (KP), better known as those “chicken bumps” that appear on upper arms. For optimal skin health, KP treatment requires both exfoliation and hydration which makes Eucerin Intensive Repair Lotion and Eucerin Advanced Repair perfect for the job. And I like that they are fragrance-free and absorb quickly without leaving residue on skin or clothes, which is highly preferable to any medicated KP treatment. Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion keeps you hydrated for 48 hours.

QUADS AND HAMSTRINGS

Are your legs sore at the end of the day? Whether from wearing high heels or chasing toddlers the leg muscles often need attention. These exercises work the entire quad and hamstring inch by inch and add in a stretching component for a deep muscle massage. Doing these exercises daily makes legs far more comfortable, even after a busy day on your feet.

And because even skin that is not exposed to the elements can still become very dry, this Eucerin series pairs Eucerin Original Healing Lotion uses simple, safe ingredients to help repair skin. It is paired with the Eucerin Skin Calming Creme for a total beauty wellness leg care plan. The Eucerin Skin Calming Creme is formulated with natural oatmeal to calm skin and keep it moisturized.

CONCLUSION

The Eucerin “Prepare to Repair” video series makes the most of easy to implement, reparative stretching exercise techniques paired with effective skin products targeted to specific skincare needs. The Eucerin Repair line provides dry, itchy, rough skin with long-lasting hydration, using safe, effective ingredients that are non-irritating. Skin instantly looks and feels so much better. Eucerin replaces the dull, dry look of winter skin with a hydrated and smooth glow that quickly dries down to a non-greasy finish. Warmer weather is just around the corner, and it’s time to get skin ready to be seen. You put time and effort into your beach body workouts, don’t forget your skin!
