Yoga Quickies and Healing Supplements Take the Stress Out of Last-Minute Shopping.
Fed up fighting traffic and facing crowded malls for holiday shopping? Internet sales are up—approaching $20 billion this shopping season—for good reason.
For starters, you can shop—anytime of day or night—right in the comfort of your own home. And while some online shoppers say they’re willing to pay $200 to $300 more to avoid the chaos of shopping malls, people also view the Internet as the place to get really good deals.
Online shopping is certainly much less stressful! With all the stress going around this time of year, it’s smart to relax, keep it simple, and check out “deals” on this website, making more time to enjoy all your favorite holiday traditions with family and friends.
De-Stress to Stay Slim and Healthy
Cortisol, the stress hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, creates tummy fat. When you’re under any type of stress, your body reacts to “danger ahead” signals, and cortisol triggers enzymes to store more fat. In fact, deep abdominal fat contains four times more cortisol receptors than other fatty tissues.
Besides belly fat, stress causes adrenal burnout and fatigue, digestive disorders, headaches, and high blood pressure. Holiday stress can depress your immune system and your body can become a breeding ground for illness, ranging from cancer and cardiovascular disease to infections of all kinds and skin problems.
My latest book, Fat Flush for Life, the Year-Round Super Detox Plan to Boost Your Metabolism and Keep Weight Off Permanently, not only highlights how stress hormones can derail weight control and overall health but also offers easy ways to combat stress. For each season of the year, this book details short, 5- to 10-minute Yoga-Quickies to help you combat the stress in your life.
Even if you don’t have time to get to the gym, brief yoga poses like Lymph Bridge can support your lymph and thyroid, which can keep you energized and healthy all winter long. If you’re not familiar with yoga, Fat Flush for Life has detailed descriptions and illustrations for all the different Yoga-Quickies I recommend for each season of the year.
Breathing techniques described in Fat Flush for Life also help you de-stress anytime, anywhere. By belly breathing, for instance, simply contracting the diaphragm—which places pressure on the abdominals while expanding the lungs—helps flatten your tummy.
Another sure-fire way to combat stress is Adrenal Formula. The adrenal glands produce cortisol and DHEA, which regulate the body’s minerals and work with the thyroid gland to fight fatigue. Particularly this time of year when your body slows down, you need to support adrenal function, as Fat Flush for Life explains.
Last-Minute Stocking Stuffers
The folks at UNI KEY tell me there’s still time to ship stress-relieving Adrenal Formula—and more healing stocking stuffers—in time for holiday giving. Just click on “Store” on the pull-down menu on this website to head to www.unikeyhealth.com or call toll-free 800-888-4353.
Getting enough sleep is another stress-relieving secret. One study that tracked the effect of sleep on nearly 70,000 middle-aged women shows that too few Zzz’s can make you fat. Those who slept, on average, about five hours a night weighed more than women who slept at least seven hours a night.
Two-thirds of Americans have trouble sleeping—and if that includes people on your gift list—tuck Magnesium 400 mg in their Christmas stocking. This calming, anti-stress mineral also supports strong bones, relieves constipation and helps keep skin fresh and moist. If that’s not reason enough, this important mineral is good for your heart and blood pressure.
Both stress and insufficient sleep create cravings. And if you’re giving in to “visions of sugar plums,” candida (yeast) overgrowth may also be a factor. Y-C Cleanse is a homeopathic remedy that relieves cravings, as well as bloating and gas, food sensitivities and allergies, heartburn, mental fog, and nasal congestion—all commonly due to yeast overgrowth.
As I recommend in Fat Flush for Life, Flora-Key is one sweetener that won’t promote yeast. Instead, this naturally sweet prebiotic boosts the growth of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) that both combat yeast infections and help ensure weight loss. Take 2 to 3 teaspoons a day in no-heat beverages, desserts, and frappes over the holidays and for every season of the year.
The perfect last-minute holiday gift? Fat Flush for Life has just what you need for winter wellness—whether that means a safe one-day cleanse or just the right Yoga-Quickies to relieve stress.

Visionary, health guru, diet/detox expert, author, spokesperson, role model, and natural foods icon, Ann Louise Gittleman has always been a trendsetter. 
I have always taken note of all the different supplements that are recommended. I’m just wondering, out of pure curiosity, how many supplements a day our Ms. Ann Louise takes? I always thought more pills to be a bad thing? I’m currently just taking two supplements, but can relate to most of the recommendations. Wondering how much is too much?
Thanks!
Dr. Ann Louise takes about 40 – 60 supplements a day. This is in addition to topical ProgestaKey.
