Healthy Weight Management
No products match your criteria
Excess body weight is associated with many health risks including diabetes, high cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, gallstones, sleep apnea, hormone disorders, and cancer. Weight gain predominantly around your midsection increases your chances of developing a serious health condition. Weight management involves treating your body respectfully so it can continue to serve you well. You must be willing to promise your body a lifestyle that gives it good nutrition, exercise, and rest after stress. Conquering food cravings and managing your portion sizes are essential parts of reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.
Do You Eat Smart? – 5 Questions
| 1. Am I truly hungry? 2. Am I eating out of habit or just seeking comfort? 3. Is this food going to nourish my body or is it empty calories? 4. Will I stop eating when I am full? 5. Is my body relaxed enough to digest the food I am eating? |
Food Cravings — The next time you "need" chocolate or automatically pick up chips, take a moment to tune in to your body. Notice your emotions. Food cravings are often related to mood, but can also alert you that your body wants to correct a nutrient imbalance. Cravings for sweet foods may be related to an overgrowth of yeast. Salt cravings may be indicative of adrenal fatigue. Sometimes food cravings are not cravings at all, just habits.
Here are some helpful hints to help curb your cravings. Eat colorful meals of fresh food and take a high-potency multivitamin and multimineral supplement. A mix of protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats helps balance blood sugar levels and provides lasting energy. Drink a full glass of water (only water) instead to see if your body was really craving hydration. Avoid highly sweet or artificial foods designed to trigger cravings. Food cravings tend to last 10-15 minutes, so wait before responding to them.
Portion Sizes — Eating at restaurants makes it easy to overeat, especially when they offer all you can eat buffets and serve overflowing plates of food. Managing the size of your portions is key to maintaining a healthy weight. When eating at restaurants, get into the habit of taking half of your meal home and, when eating at a buffet, use a smaller-size plate and skip that trip for seconds. Having handy examples of portion sizes is a helpful tool for controlling your portions. Here are some examples of reasonable portions:
PROTEIN — 3 servings/day
HEALTHY FATS / OILS — 2 servings/day
CALCIUM RICH FOODS — 3 servings/day
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES — 3 servings of starches and 4 servings of vegetables, plus 3 servings of fruits/day
One serving equals:
| Deck of cards = 3 ounces of lean meat, fish, poultry, or pork Rounded handful (only in palm) = ½ cup of rice, pasta, cut fruit Four dice = 1 ounce natural cheese Clenched fist = 1 cup skim milk, most vegetables Hockey puck = ½ bagel Baseball = apple, orange Thumb tip = 1 tsp butter Computer mouse = potato Golf ball = 2 tbsp nut butter |

Great Product, Love The Design!
I love, love, love this body butter. It is an amazing moisturizing and even the jar is beautiful. The scent is lovely, not overly “girly ” so a guy can benefit also.
B12, P5P, Folate
Gave me a boost and seems to supply what I was lacking. Also, improves sleep.
Best K2- D3
Excellent Vitamin, I have been taking for years, it improved my numbers faster than any other brand. I also LOVE VIllage Green Pharmacy and the entire staff, they are incredibly helpful. Love the sales too. Thank you & Happy Thanksgiving.
Solved my problem
My doctor prescribed a supplement blend with this in it, and then he closed his business to enjoy other pursuits. This was a great replacement as it calmed my nerves and helped my joint pain. I highly recommend it!
Great experience
Excellent
I am so grateful for this protection option. This added protection came in handy. I live in an apartment complex and my mail carrier often loses my packages. When given the option for the package protection I knew I would likely need it and wouldn’t you know, I would have lost my money if it weren’t for the protection. I will continue to order from you and use this protection in the future.
Probiotics Saviing my life!
As a colon cancer survivor of 26 years I have had quite a journey and the most important component for me like millions of people has been my digestive tract .
Probiotics have helped me tremendously after years of bowel instructions and not knowing how to help myself without medication and side effects .
I am a lifer for probiotics, and they can prevent illness as well , for those who have the opportunity to do so .
Papaya
Both me and my husband enjoy these papaya enzymes. Can’t get enough of them.
Oh So Grateful
A friend suggested your products for my father who has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Since my father has been on a regimen of suggested supplements to take, his symptoms have significantly lessened and he doesn’t have to take those harsh medications that will shorten his life span. This has truly been a miracle and a blessing. Hallelujah Thank you Jesus!
Love it
Slimprobio is really helping me to lose weight plus it has so many good probiotics. Really like it.
I am thrilled to have found this.
I have Fibromyalgia. The brain fog I was experiencing was debilitating. There were days that it was nearly impossible to think, speak, or remember what was said moments before. A friend mentioned taking Lion’s Mane. Not long after taking the Mushroom Science brand all those problems disappeared. Another thing that changed was my energy level, which was an added bonus. I am grateful.
Not received
I don't know why but, not recieved. I LOVE the product but, for some unknown reason the USPS said "incomplete address". I believe that email was a scam because they DIDN'T just ask for my address they asked for a credit card number!?!
great product
thytrophin PMG
Works great I feel much better
These Drops are Amazing!
These drops were recommended to me by a Holistic Doctor; they are very easily absorbed and do not cause any somach/gut issues. The combination of D3 and K2 are essential for maturing women and bone health. The drops do not taste like anything so there is no bad taste.
