 Disclosure- I received the products mentioned below to facilitate my review.  I received no other compensation and all opinions are 100% my own.  The nutritional information is all provided by Tosi and is in no way meant to substitute advice from your doctor.
tosi-logo-final-wSince the new year I have really tried to focus on healthier eating and weight loss.  I recently discovered Tosi nutritional products and they fit perfectly in my new healthier lifestyle.  They have several great products- Tosi Super Bites, Tosi Complete Greens, Tosi Complete Meal, Tosi Digestive Enzymes, and Tosi Probiotics.

tosi-complete-kitSo what is Tosi?

The Tosi Health System is the result of 12 years of research, development and perfecting, by Doctors, Industry Experts, Athletes, Fussy Eaters and Skeptics.

The reward for all of this effort is a system that helps to provide a nutrient and anti-oxidant rich combination that helps to eliminate cravings and balance your body. Not only that, it’s delicious, it’s faster than ‘Fast Food’, very affordable, convenient and portable.

Team Tosi has found that the human body does not crave calories, but nutrients, in the same way that holding your breath results in an undeniable oxygen craving. Once you deliver the proper, ultra low-glycemic nutrients, the cravings go away and your body is able to run optimally.

The Tosi Health System delivers nutrients in a way that is very efficient for the body to breakdown and absorb. Those nutrients are also Organic & Gluten-Free. Tosi Health is diabetic safe and does not cause blood sugar spikes, gas or bloating.

tosi reviewI received Tosi Super Bites in almond and cashew flavors, Tosi Complete Greens, and Tosi Complete Meal vanilla.  I love that the products are organic.  Tosi Complete Meal is the first meal replacement shake that I have found that is organic and that is important to me.  It is ultra low on the glycemic index which is also important to me as I was diagnosed as a diabetic last year.  It is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.  It is whole-food nutrition with fast-food convenience.  It has 20 grams of bio-available protein, helps control hunger and cravings, and has less than a gram of sugar.  It is great for athletes, moms on the go, students between classes, and even for people like me who are trying to lose weight.  I love that I can just add 2 scoops to 8-12 ounces of water, shake, and enjoy.  I choose the vanilla flavor as I like to add other flavors to it with things like essential oils (lime, orange, cinnamon, and other favors), powdered peanut butter, fat free pudding mix, etc. to change up the flavor so I’m not drinking a vanilla shake every day.  To me vanilla is more versatile but that is just personal preference.  They also sell a chocolate version.  The Tosi Complete Meal fills me up for hours.  It says to make it with water but I like making it with almond milk as well.  Either way it is very creamy, thick, filling and delicious.

tosi greens and tosi complete mealTosi Complete Greens are a great way to get your extra veggies in without eating a ton of fruits and veggies. They are a super food powerful antioxidant that has special enzymes to assist in absorption.  Each ultra-high-quality antioxidant power drink provides 20 servings of fruit and vegetables per scoop.  It is an organic blend of enzymes and probiotics that aid in healthy digestion and absorption.  It helps alkalize the pH of the body.  It naturally detoxifies and boosts the immune system.  Simply mix one scoop in 8 ounces of water, shake, and enjoy.  I really enjoy drinking my greens each day.  I have tried greens from other companies but I like that Tosi packs in lots of great ORGANIC fruits and veggies PLUS other things like ginkgo biloba, echinacea, royal jelly, probiotic cultures, and enzymes.  I feel like drinking my greens is one more healthy thing I am doing for myself each day.

SuperBites ImageMy favorite Tosi products are the Tosi Super Bites.  They are made with only a few simple ingredients- Organic Almonds or Cashews, Organic Golden Flaxseed, White Sesame Seeds, Organic Chia Seeds, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, and Sea Salt.  Chia and flax are so good for you!  Both have a nutty taste and make a great, filling snack.  They provide a great pick-me-up of energy during my mid-afternoon.  They have 2 servings per package so be careful not to eat it all at once.  It’s so yummy, you’ll want to eat it all so I always grab a resealable baggie when I eat one so I can put the other half right in the baggie and not eat it like I might be tempted to.  I now keep Tosi Super Bites in my purse so I always have a healthy snack handy so I won’t be tempted to eat things I shouldn’t.  They are one of the best tasting, healthy snacks I have had.  No more yucky but healthy bars from the health food store.  I’ve got Tosi Super Bites!

I love that Tosi products work for both people looking to have/maintain better health and people who are looking to lose weight.  Check out the chart below to see the different guides for using Tosi.

Here’s some of the science behind Tosi:

Why 95 % of all diets fail is really quite simple. Your body is under-nourished, and all diets require you to take in less food. Let’s be clear: our bodies are craving nutrients — not calories. Much in the same way holding your breath triggers an undeniable craving for oxygen. Most hunger pangs are not a signal for more calories; they are a signal for more nutrients. A nutrient-rich body does not send out a hunger signal every time the stomach is empty. The Tosi Health System works because it delivers the simplest and most convenient sources of Ultra-Low Glycemic nutrients available on the market today. Vitamin stores sell thousands of products you simply do not need. The first step toward health is to prepare your body to properly absorb nutrients. Stomach acid is designed to assist digestion but, by design, it is not supposed to be the primary source for digestion. You have a built-in, limited supply of digestive enzymes. The modern diet of processed foods consumes that supply more quickly than designed. That’s why, as we get older, it seems there are more foods that no longer “agree” with us. That’s why 65% of American adults are lactose intolerant and cannot digest milk products. It is because the lactase enzyme that you were born with, has been depleted.

Nutrient Absorption:

Step 1 in nutrient absorption is taking digestive enzymes when you eat. This is vital. In order for your intestines to absorb nutrients, your food must be broken down to its smallest nutrient base. This allows the nutrients to flow in between the micro villi that are located in the large intestine, where nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream. So what do you think has more actual surface area: a tile floor or carpet? Carpet, right? Just like the carpet in your home, your intestinal villi have enough surface area to cover a tennis court. Now imagine that tennis court is covered with solar panels. If you are covering those panels with sludge, the sun’s rays are not going to be absorbed. This brings us to step 2 of absorption. Ideally, you must maintain a level of 85% beneficial bacteria with 15% bad bacteria in the intestinal tract, for optimal function and health. The modern diet combined with overeating and antibiotic-rich meat, continually challenges the healthy bacteria ratio. Eating cultured or fermented food sources like yogurts or Kim chi are not the solution, since most of those beneficial cultured bacteria are killed by the gastric stomach acid. You must take probiotics in properly insulated cellulose capsule form, on an empty stomach, daily, upon rising.

Tosi’s cellulose coated capsules travel through the digestive tract, to the large intestine; the beneficial bacteria of the Probiotic is then properly released and absorbed. This replenishing of beneficial bacteria, before the day’s meals, keeps your villi clean and available to absorb nutrients.

The other component your body needs is a plant-based source of ultra-low glycemic nutrients for optimal body function. The first step is adding an easily digestible source of protein. Most protein powders fall short because they don’t contain the properly enzymes. The Tosi Complete Meal shake is ideal because it contains the necessary digestive enzymes and is a unique formula which floods your body with plant-based antioxidants. This, along with probiotics, is critical for immune support.

Top Tips For Keeping Your Family Fit

We are becoming a nation of couch potatoes. It is hardly surprising that at the end of a long stressful day at work, all we want to do is sit in front of the television and veg out. That sets a bad example for our children, so we must all try to do something about it.

It isn’t easy to keep yourself in shape. Tiredness overtakes us all at some point, and it takes willpower to keep going. Raising children is one of the hardest jobs there is, and it never seems to end. The only way to combine exercise in your daily routine is to do something that everyone finds enjoyable. That way you won’t even realise that you are working out. Here are a few top tips for keeping your family fit.

Diet

First you must address the family diet. Most people eat a healthy balance of foods; it is the quantity on the plate that is the problem. Start reducing the amount of food you all eat a little at a time. The rest of the clan might not even notice what you are doing if you get it right.

Buy A Dog

Introduce a new member to the family. This four-legged friend will encourage everyone to be a little more active. Take it for a walk every day with your children. When they get into the field, the kids will chase the dog and play. They will have no idea that the activity is helping them. The walk is good for you too. Maybe you could make it a ritual on Sundays to go out into the countryside for the day using the dog as an excuse.

Build A Pool

Build a swimming pool in your garden. Some people have a derelict pool and could give it a new lease of life by using swimming pool liners at 1st Direct. Ask any child what they would most enjoy in the garden, and most of them will say a pool. It gives the whole family the ultimate solution for exercise and fun. Swimming is one of the best activities you can do to help you shed a few pounds, so it is money well spent.

Get A Gym

If you have an old shed or garage, you could turn it into a gym. Exercise equipment is quite cheap these days considering the technology that goes into it. You can pick up an electric treadmill for under two hundred pounds and weight lifting equipment for less than that. Think about a rowing machine or cross trainer.

Have A Disco

Have a disco party once a week for the children; they love to jump about and dance to the tunes. Without knowing it, they are improving their fitness and possibly giving themselves a healthier life when they grow up. Medical experts believe that much of what we do as a child affects us in later life, so we must make an effort to keep our children fit.

These ideas will guide your thoughts in the right direction, but the rest is up to you. There must be many ways your family can get some exercise; you just have to think of them. For now, I wish you good health.

I Wish You Could See What Is Hidden

Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

fibromyalgiaHaving a “hidden” illness can be very frustrating.  I have Fibromyalgia and it has taken a while for even my family to understand.  It is hard for everyone around me because I look “healthy”.  They can’t see the pain I am in or the exhaustion I feel on a daily basis.  Even my husband took a long time to understand even a little bit how I feel.  I can almost handle the daily aches and pains, but for me the exhaustion is the worst.  Some days I can’t even get out of bed.  My doctor also said I have severe adrenal fatigue and a few other disorders which also compounding the situation.  But from the outside I look “normal”.  Only a few of my close friends really know what I am going through.  The other parents at my girls school must think I am a flake when I sometimes have to cancel volunteering because I am just too exhausted or in too much pain.  I do what I can, when  I can, but some days it takes everything out of me just to do the regular daily things I need to do for my family.  I don’t want pity.  It’s not about that.  I just wish people could see what is hidden without me having to say something.  It would be nice if everyone just understood and was a little more patient with me.  There are days when I do feel great and I will be able to give 110% but on those days when I can’t give 10%, I say a silent prayer that those around me will have patience.

The good news is that I started seeing a new primary doctor who has switched some of my medications.  I am also eating healthier and using alternative treatments such as essential oils and I am starting to feel some relief.  I will keep updating on my health and hopefully one day I will feel “normal”.

For all of those that suffer from a “hidden” illness, you are not alone.  To all of you who are healthy, please remember those of us who are not.  Be patient with others no matter what you think you know about them.  There might be things hidden inside of them that they, too, wish you could see so please be patient and kind to everyone.

Dietary supplements, such as the vitamin B sup...

Dietary supplements, such as the vitamin B supplement show above, are typically sold in pill form. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I have been having a lot of medical issues over the past few years.  I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years ago and I have struggled with debilitating exhaustion for years.  I switched primary doctors recently and I found one I really like.  She is really trying to get to the root of my problems and help me feel better.  I’ll be posting more on that in upcoming posts.  But here’s my A-ha moment.  I have been taking a multivitamin for years.  I always take it at bedtime because that is when I remember to take it.  I also take my pills for fibromyalgia at that time and either melatonin or a sleeping pill most nights.  That’s when it dawned on me- my multivitamins have lots of B vitamins which help give me energy.  I’m taking them before bed when I want to sleep and then counteracting them with the melatonin or sleeping pills.  DUH!!!!  Why did this dawn on me before?!?!?  I switched up my whole vitamin and prescription medication daily schedule so now I am taking things during the day and not at night.  What a difference!

My Tip For You:
If you want to sleep well, DON’T take a multivitamin with B Vitamins at bedtime!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Yiva Naturals.

You may know someone who has struggled for years trying to start a family.  I myself struggled with infertility before I was blessed with my girls.  After spending several years trying to have a baby, Yiva Naturals
cofounder Rich D., reached out to some friends, who were also struggling to have children, but had recently had a baby, to find out what treatment they had used.  To his surprise, his friend’s wife had started taking an all-natural drops taken from the root and leaf of the raspberry plant.   Desperate to try something new, Rich’s wife started taking the drops and 45 days later, she was pregnant!  Their success launched the start of Yiva Naturals, a company focused on all-natural health products.

  Yiva Naturals is enjoying terrific success with a lot more than just their fertility drops.  They now have Women’s Daily Balance, a formula which helps alleviate symptoms related to PMS and menopause (hot flashes, irregular cycles, bloating, cramping, and migraines, to just a name a few).    And people are reporting fantastic results from our all-natural allergy relief drops and other products. Their approach is to teach the body to cope with allergens versus over-reacting to them.

Are You Healthing or Cleaning? LYSOL Healthing Initiative

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Are you Healthing or Cleaning?  LYSOL has introduced the concept of Healthing which centers on keeping families as healthy as possible to prevent them from getting sick.  It goes beyond just regular cleaning and actually teaches the proper steps to stay well.  The concept of Healthing has been especially important for my family lately because it seemed like someone in my family was getting sick every month.  I even got sick 3 months in a row and started worrying about my own immune system.  That is when I started beefing up protecting my entire family.  I know that we can’t live in a bubble but I’ve been making it a point to do my best to follow the Healthing tips to not only clean my house but kill the germs. I have been especially focusing on the germs that live on commonly touched places like door handles and light switches.  I’ve been using Lysol spray and Lysol wipes to wipe down these especially germy surfaces.  I love that Lysol also has a family friendly cleaner called Lysol Power and Free that cleans and disinfects with the power of hydrogen peroxide so it is powerful without the harshness of bleach.  I have also been reminding my children about proper hygiene habits like washing their hands often, especially before meals. Lysol touch-free antibacterial soap dispensers are especially great at cutting down on the spread of germs.  Since you don’t have to touch the dispenser to get soap your are removing germs when you wash instead of picking up new germs from the soap pump.  Since I really started cracking down on all of our habits and following the Healthing tips, I am happy to report that we have stayed much healthier over the last few months.
For LYSOL, Healthing goes beyond its products to provide the education and motivation to keep a healthy home and family.  They also reach out the to community in many ways.  These include:

Connecting with 65,000 schools to promote healthy habits and good hygiene.
Providing educational programs that reach 50 percent of new moms with health and wellness related to caring for their newborns.
Working with trusted third-party organizations to promote the ideas that Healthing embodies, which include the National PTA, the Global Hygiene Council and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, to name a few.

To help spread the word about Healthing, LYSOL and Giuliana Rancic (I just love her!) have joined together to visit YMCAs in select areas the country to demonstrate Healthing in action.  At each YMCA location, LYSOL will provide attendees with hands-on education about the products and steps required to practice improved hygiene habits in their own home, while making the idea fun and relatable to kids. LYSOL will also provide educational information and disinfecting products to the local YMCAs, along with the donation of a one-year membership to a deserving family.  Check with your local YMCA to see if they are scheduled to be a part of a Healthing event.

It’s Spring Cleaning time in many homes across the country.  While cleaning and de-cluttering is important, don’t forget to also disinfect your home as well.  Lysol’s products are centered on killing 99.9 percent of germs and provide solutions that help promote good hygiene and disinfection.   Check out Lysol’s Healthing Tips below to help you keep your family healthy.
LYSOL Healthing Tips
~Don’t let spring cleaning overwhelm you – take it one room at a time and stock up on products that will help you to get the job done effectively, including LYSOL® products, paper towels, sponges, and trash bags.
~Know the difference between cleaning and disinfecting! Both are important components of the Healthing process and LYSOL® has products that can help with all related tasks. While cleaning and organizing is certainly important, killing germs on commonly touched surfaces can lower the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses between members of the family.
~Start with the basics – wipe down easy to reach surfaces and then move onto the little nooks and crannies.
~Remember to dust around wall art, photographs and woodwork.
~Use a disinfectant product, like LYSOL® Disinfecting Wipes, to help ensure you’re killing germs as you clean, and think beyond the usual places. Be sure to clean even the smallest surfaces, such as light switches.
~Don’t forget to disinfect places that you don’t see or think about often, like the door knobs, cabinet handles or sink drains.
~Make it a family activity and tailor tasks to specific age groups.  Give younger children simpler, one-step tasks like dusting or picking toys up off the floor, and save the more complex jobs, such as vacuuming, scrubbing, and disinfecting for older members of the family.
~Remember to practice proper hand washing as well after you clean, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer. Hand washing is the single most important thing you can do to prevent illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
