Every person, regardless of genes and DNA, creates their own microbiome in the body through the food we eat. The microbiome is largely affected by our fiber consumption.
Fiber is one of the important parts that we don't get enough of when we eat ultra-processed foods, such as fried foods, sausages, bacon, chips, meatballs and many other ready-made dishes. The microbiome is crucial for communication between cells, from head to toe!

In addition, a small fiber intake every day can make a difference to our cognitive ability, shows another study from King's College, London. After just 12 weeks of fiber every day, participants performed better on cognitive tests.

MAYBE THE BEST!
One of the best types of fiber is our organic Psyllium Husk fiber, which we always come back to. Take a spoonful and mix in water 30 minutes before lunch, or dinner to start the body, and as a bonus ALSO less hunger. Do the same before you go to a party and have a glass of wine! It has a protective effect on the liver!

Fiber also has a balancing effect on blood sugar, super important to keep both brain and stomach on top! Fiber acts as candy for the good bacteria, and helps with the fermentation process in the body. Psyllium Husk acts as your own "health tool" to help the body come into balance! Getting into balance is precisely what all the body's cells strive for!

PSYLLIFORM - a proven fiber product, which helps keep the intestinal and digestive systems in top shape.
Mix in smoothies, on top of breakfast cereals or sprinkle over oatmeal! Mix in the pancake or meatball batter. If the recipe calls for breadcrumbs, replace some with psyllium husks. In other words, be creative and try to incorporate psyllium into your daily cooking and consumption.

Exercise and beetroot juice, which Cardicore contains, makes the brain younger, according to researchers at Wake Forest University!
"We knew when we started the study that exercise has positive effects on the brain. An intake of beetroot increases blood flow to the brain and increases exercise capacity," said W. Jack Rejeski, co-author. "However, what we showed in this study was that an intake of beetroot along with exercise resulted in brain plasticity closely resembling what you see in younger adults.” Brain plasticity slows already after the age of 25. Read the study here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28329785

No wonder that many feel that the so-called the lactic oxygen threshold is raised when you eat Cardicore. UCLA - University of California - has done tests on athletes to see if an increased production of nitric oxide can affect the milk acid and when it occurs. The result was outstanding - the average was a raised lactic acid threshold by 16.7%.

The elite athletes who use Cardicore have reported similar results. They feel that they can take in significantly more without the pre-edible lactic acid hitting as before.

Really exciting!

The health benefits of sleep and the importance of a good night’s sleep is a popular topic. As we move into longer and brighter days, many people experience fatigue - a lack of energy - and have problems sleeping well at night. Then you might think - Geez, I can take a catnap (English), høneblund (Norwegian) tupplur (Swedish) during the day. But, can a short rest during the day compensate for the lack of sleep during the night?

Here's what the experts say:

While taking a short nap during the day can help you stay awake and avoid mood swings, it should only be considered a quick fix to make it easier to get through the day. However, the body needs quality sleep to repair bones and muscles, strengthen the immune system, and process memories. When you want to balance your weight, a good night's sleep is essential, and also to avoid illness.

The body goes through 4-5 sleep cycles during the night, from the first one when the eyes and muscles need to relax, to the beneficial dream cycle when brain activity increases. The last one is believed to be important for learning, memory and mood.

Do you have trouble relaxing at night? For example, do you get muscle cramps or do you suffer from "restless legs"? Products that many Polargo friends use are CD Mag+ and Elite Sports Drink Perform.

Sleep Well!

Elisabet Lindgren, MD, PhD and Associate Professor in Sustainability Science, advises in Vetandets Värld, Sveriges Radio, how to plan for a heat wave.
Load up on your sports drink!

Salt deficiency is common when you start perspiring a lot and are used to living in a colder climate. It can take two weeks to readjust your body, well worth thinking about when you go abroad to hotter climates. The consequences of losing these salts, i.e. sodium, calcium, chloride, potassium and magnesium (so-called electrolytes) can be a reduced ability in controlling the fluid balance, which in turn can affect cell function, blood volume and blood pressure. Impaired muscle and nerve function can also result as a consequence of electrolyte deficiency, of utmost importance for anyone working out during the hot summer temperatures.

Elite Perform sports drink is a favorite classic that has been the first choice for a long time!
Effective, refreshing and gentle on the stomach.

Studies show that omega 3 from krill is superior to commercial fish oil. First of all, krill is based on phospholipids, not triglycerides. Also, krill contains choline! Krill is simply easier for the brain to absorb, i.e. it is bioavailable!

"The combination of improved bioavailability and membrane stabilization is important in promoting the anti-inflammatory and anti-degenerative properties of many of the (omega-3) active ingredients found in krill oil."

Dr. James Giordano, Pellegrino Center, Professor of Neurology and Biochemistry, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington D.C.

Not bad with anti-inflammatory and anti-degenerative properties in one and the same product!

Artificial blue light from mobile phones, computers and TVs has a dark side. We've all heard that blue light can be the cause of sleep problems and eye problems. But, blue light can also create skin problems!

It is especially the mitochondria of the skin cells that can be affected by blue light. All skin cells have mitochondria that are responsible for converting nutrients into energy, an important function for skin cells that have a high turnover rate. Blue light, and also pollution as well as the sun's UVA & UVB, can prevent the mitochondria's ability to regenerate, and thus accelerate skin aging.

The rays from blue light penetrate deeper than the sun's UVA and UVB rays! When the light reaches the skin's collagen and elastin – natural substances in the skin responsible for structure and facial shape – these important components can be broken down.

Continuous exposure to blue light can create inflammation in the skin, and also break down the skin's DNA - i.e. the instructions for the skin to continue to produce healthy skin cells.

It is not uncommon for us to spend up to 11 hours per day in front of blue light.

This exposure can lead to the following:
- Hyperpigmentation ≈ age spots
- Collagen breakdown ≈ wrinkles, sagging skin
- Inflammation ≈ problem skin

It is based on baking soda, a natural salt, to clean and gently polish your teeth, as well as neutralize plaque acids and reduce caries activity.

Based on baking soda, which is mildly polishing and helps the pH value in the mouth. When sodium bicarbonate is mixed with saliva, it acts as an alkaline pH buffer. It neutralizes plaque acids that can help minimize microbes, ie bacteria.

Baking soda, gentle silicates and organic aloe vera help maintain the appearance of white and healthy teeth.

Good oral health gives a fresh and healthy smile.
Eliminating bacteria is an important part of sustainable oral health. Today, most people are aware of how important the mouth-body connection is to overall health. When residues from food and coffee, and in particular sugar, remain on the tooth surface, plaque can build up. Plaque is like a bacterial film on the tooth surface and must be polished off.

”Let your smile change the world but don't let the world change your smile”

This is what you want a toothpaste to do!
GIVE FRESH BREATH - baking soda triggers enzymes in the mouth that balance the pH value to give a fresh breath
PROTECT AGAINST CAVITIES - contains 1450 ppm fluoride, an ingredient that science agrees can help prevent cavities; works in synergy with the functional ingredient xylitol.
