Living Essense ~ Meal Replacement Shake Overview

Living Essense is a complete, balanced meal replacement with a full supply of Digestive Enzymes, Vitamins, Minerals, Superfoods and Antioxidants.

First, let’s looks at what food is composed of; water, macronutrients and micronutrients. Water is the main substance of most everything followed by the macronutrients protein, carbohydrates and fat. These are the only things that provide the body with ‘real’ energy which is measured in calories.

The micronutrients are all of the vitamins, minerals and other trace elements which mostly help us utilize the macronutrients more efficiently. We need all of these three components in order to live a long and healthy life. Now, it’s really just a matter of balancing them.

The average person requires about 80 grams of protein and approximately 6 grams of fat per day. Did you know that we do not require any carbohydrate intake on a daily basis? Does this mean that we can get everything we need from eating just protein and fat? Yes, it does.

Eskimos eat little to no carbohydrates especially during the long winter months and yet they have been documented to be the healthiest race that has ever lived on this planet. Eskimos have no heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or any other disease commonly associated with our modern, civilized world.

What most writers forget to tell people is that they ate almost everything raw. As we discussed earlier, when we eat raw food the enzymes contained in those foods will digest themselves without putting any additional stress on the body.

Not that we can or would even recommend that we eat our meat raw today because of the incredible ‘pollution’ of our animals. The point here is that we can survive quite nicely without eating carbohydrates. But do we as a nation practice this? No.

Most of us are familiar with insulin which is the main regulator of blood sugars, but beyond that is can be referred to as the master hormone of metabolism. It is involved in the regulation of blood pressure, the storage of fat as well as the production of triglycerides and cholesterol. When insulin levels are to high we experience high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, diabetes and obesity.

How do insulin levels get so high?

 Most people have inherited a tendency for the insulin sensors on the cells to malfunction with age, illness, stress or by years of eating a high sugar and starch diet. As these sensors become more sluggish, the body becomes more ‘insulin resistant’.

 Because the cells need sugar, the pancreas will continue to pump out more and more insulin to force the sensors to respond. In the end, the body will become so resistant to insulin that the amount required to clear the sugars from the blood will be more than the pancreas can produce, so that person becomes an adult diabetic.

Excessive insulin also causes other damage in the body like; retention of water and salt by the kidneys, thickens the walls of the arteries, stimulates the liver to produce cholesterol and sends a message to the body to store all incoming sugar and fat.

Wow, that sounds pretty serious. Is there anything we can do to change this? The good news is that this vicious cycle can be reversed by changing our eating habits through limiting the amount of carbohydrate intake.

Living Essense ~ Meal Replacement Shake Recommendations

“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.”

Kahlil Gibran

All of the following ingredients are found in the Living Essense product.

Protein blend

Whey Protein concentrate - 7 grams. The most “usable” arrangement of amino acids available. Whey provides the building blocks of glutathione, the body’s most important antioxidant. It will also increase immunity, suppress hunger, encourage fat burning and act as a anti-bacterial and anti-microbial agent. This is a “fast” burning that must be blended with “slower” proteins such as milk.
Egg Protein concentrate - 4 grams. A complete protein that contains the eight essential amino acids as well as 13 vitamins and minerals.
Rice Protein concentrate - 2.5 grams. An excellent source of vegan, hypo-allergenic protein and is also contains the eight essential amino acids.
Milk Protein concentrate - 2 grams. A complete protein that slows the release of amino acids into the bloodstream and also prevents a large percentage of the whey protein from going to waste.
