Three Steps to Healthy Weight Gain
At Isagenix we have lots of information to support people in their weight loss goals – but for some customers, their goal is to gain weight. Gaining weight might sound easy and as though it needs little guidance, but actually it can be just as difficult as losing weight. People might look to gain weight following a period of poor health, or if they’re looking to improve body composition for athletic performance. Either way it’s important to focus on muscle gain rather than just generally gaining weight. This requires careful planning and preparation of meals and snacks to make sure they’re packed full of all the right nutrients. When a person is looking to lose weight, their programme will include [...]
Tips on Portion Control
If your eyes are sometimes larger than your stomach, then you’ve probably discovered how difficult it is to navigate restaurant menus and supermarket aisles.

Acid-Base Balance and Bone Health
Many people consider calcium as the only nutrient of importance for bone health, and whilst calcium is important, bone health is much more complex than simply one nutrient. There’s research to support other nutrients such as protein, and other micronutrients including potassium and vitamin K are also important for bone health. For several years, there has been discussion about the influence foods can have on the acid-base balance (or pH level) of blood in the body and on health, especially bone health.
