Got Milk? – Horizon Milk that is!

17 March 2010 15 Comments

I had the pleasure of joining another mega-review with the contributors of Pink Lemonade Online Magazine. We were given coupons to try Horizon Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3. My family loves this milk! My daughter drank one of the half gallons nearly all by herself. My husband uses it as a great after workout drink. Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 is fortified with a natural, 100 percent vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA – a safe, wholesome, delicious way to bring more of this important nutrient into your family’s diet. Here are some of the great benefits of this great product:

DHA Omega-3 is an important nutrient that helps support heart, brain and eye health
DHA belongs to a category of healthy fatty acids known as Omega-3’s.
Found in high concentrations in tissues of the brain and eye, DHA Omega-3 is thought to help support healthy function in these areas.
DHA has also been shown to help support heart health.
DHA provides a nutritional boost for children’s growing minds and bodies.

We have all heard that milk does a body good. In relation to fitness, researchers are saying that chocolate milk is just as good as sports drinks in aiding recovery from intense exercise. This is one of my husband’s favorite drinks after a long bike ride. Although chocolate milk contains more sugar than plain milk, sugar has a less dramatic effect on blood sugar right after a work out, when your body uses the sugar to restore glycogen in muscles rather than storing it as fat. The benefits include:

Enhance muscle glycogen formation
Promote a hormonal environment that encourages muscle growth
Promote muscle protein production
May lessen immune-suppressive effects due of intense exercise

So, grab yourself a yummy, low-fat Horizon chocolate milk for your family to enjoy. Visit http://www.horizonorganicdha.com/ to learn more!

Having started my post-baby diet (really it’s only lifestyle overhaul but diet just seems to be the best word!) this week, I’m so happy I ran across your site! Any posts on how to not be completely exhausted while raising an active two year old, nursing a 6 month old, working out, and only getting 5 hours of sleep? Just a suggestion!

Hi All. First time here. Nice blog, lots of information.

It is important to have in mind that there are certain conditions to get the benefits fish oil can bring.

You need to take a good quality fish oil, free from mercury and other contaminants. That is a molecularly distilled fish oil.

Then, you need to take a minimum amount of fish oil, krill oil or cod liver oil at a certain frequency.

There is not an establish amount of omega 3 for any health benefit but I recommend to take at least 900 mg per day of omega 3 fats (close to 3.000 mg of fish oil), EPA plus DHA, per day.

Also, you should lower your intake of omega 6 fats (mostly grains and grain oils) since omega 3 and omega 6 counteract each other in the body. The best way to reduce omega 6 fats is to eliminate form your diet all starches, that is all grains and grain oil.

Best wishes,
Alfredoe

Sleep deprivation is a KILLER. Studies show that getting enough rest is even more important than exercise. Is there anyone who can help you get in a nap from time to time? Is there a club with a day care center where you can walk the treadmill or something slow and simple? I feel for you. I was there when my daughter was an infant and my son was 2. I started with just 15 minutes a day on my exercise bike. You will be amazed how even a little bit of exercise can boost your energy for a while, but see what you can do about getting a bit more rest. Can anyone else feed the baby during the night? Hang in there mama!

Great blog! I was never a milk drinker, that is, until I discovered organic milk. What a difference! The DHA milk tastes a little strange to me, but l’m kinda picky.

Looking forward to reading more of your posts!
