WalkaWeigh

WalkaWeigh is a delicious functional food to assist metabolism of stored fats to energy during exercise.

WalkaWeigh is a light drink and is one of the few protein drinks that is suitable for sipping during exercise, walking, cycling, pump classes or other cardio circuit workout. This Unique blend of  Pea Protein, D-Ribose,UltraSweet, L-Carnitine, Magnesium Aspartate, Inositol, L-Glutamine, and White Green Tea has been formulated to assist those who are serious about weight management. A light and refreshing protein drink that increases energy, burns calories, to use while exercising - This really is a first and revolutionary to the exercise and weight loss industry ~ Now there is an answer!!!!

Benefits of L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine is responsible for transporting fats (long chain fatty acids to be precise) into the mitochondria so they can be burned or “oxidized” to produce energy. When there is a deficiency of this compound, fat oxidation is impaired and energy production slows. Effects on muscle: L-Carnitine is probably best known for its effects on skeletal muscle. L-Carnitine sensitizes muscle to the hormone insulin. This results in an increased uptake and utilization of sugar from the blood. Supplementation with this compound also reduces the build up of lactic that otherwise occurs under anaerobic conditions and prevents the accumulation of fat in muscle tissues. These actions translate into enhanced muscular performance, reduced fatigue and improved recovery with a decrease in muscle pain and tenderness following exercise. Combined with an overall boost in energy production these positive effects on muscle may facilitate weight loss by making those who take supplements more likely to engage in an exercise program.

Antioxidant Effects: Helps mop up excess oxidative stress, helping prevent inflammation and cellular damage. Because free radicals are generated during the process of energy production that occurs in the mitochondria, the mitochondria are particularly susceptible to such damage. Damage to mitochondria leads to decreased energy production and may contribute to the development of a number of diseases as well as to aging itself.

Benefits of Inositol

Inositol effectively promotes the body's production of lecithin. Lecithin helps move fats from the liver to the cells. This means inositol aids in the nervous system, supports metabolism of fats and reduces cholesterol.

Benefits of Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential element which influences many enzymes needed to produce cellular energy and nerve and muscle message transmission. It affects nervous, muscular and cardiovascular systems. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. In humans it is found in bones, teeth and red blood cells, magnesium activates many enzyme systems (such as those involved in protein digestion and energy production). Magnesium in the amino acid chelate form, such as Magnesium Aspartate, is twice as well absorbed as other forms of magnesium. Additionally, chelated minerals are far more bio-available making them the superior choice for supplement purposes. Magnesium facilitates the conversion of endogenous Glucose (blood sugar) into energy (due to its role in the production of Adenosine Triphosphate). Magnesium improves Athletic Performance (via ATP production).

Benefits of Green Tea

The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant.

Green Tea Stimulates the Metabolism & Accelerates Weight Loss

Green tea contains powerful antioxidants called catechin polyphenols that are responsible for many of the health benefits of green tea. One of them in particular, epigallocatechin gallate (or EGCG for short), has been found to stimulate the metabolism and may accelerate weight loss. EGCG in green tea stimulates the central nervous system and causes fat to be released into the blood stream for the body to use as fuel. This process of fat being used for energy is called “thermogenesis”. It provides extra energy, sheds excess water, and also helps to burn body fat. Although caffeine alone can stimulate the metabolism this way, it’s important to note that researchers found that green tea was much more effective at this process than just caffeine by itself.

Green Tea Helps You Exercise Longer

Everyone knows how important exercise is to losing weight. It burns calories, increases your energy, and builds muscle which in turn boosts your metabolism even higher. The catechin polyphenols in green tea appear to stimulate the use of fatty acids by liver and muscle cells. This subsequently reduces the rate that carbohydrates are used and allows for more endurance and longer exercise times.
