Udo's Oil! Have you tried it?

I saw Udo's Oil while walking through WholeFoods and other health food stores but I never knew anything about it or the benefits of taking it... until now!

First of all our bodies need fat!! A lot of it! But it needs to be the right type of fat! Our bodies use fat for energy, strength and stamina. Fat feeds our brains and helps us focus, it supports our neurological system and helps promote a lean body mass just to name a few benefits. Yet so many people are scared of it, therefore we don't consume enough of it. Or, in most of our diets our intake comes from saturated animal fat.

I, like most people get so busy day to day that I realize I haven't been eating enough nutrients or taking in a beneficial amount of oils and fats and yet I need to be taking in more than the average person since I am very active. Being a double leg amputee I burn up to 60% more calories then the average person (That's like doing sit-ups all day :))

The idea of Udo's oil is to nutritionally support the system with the perfect balance of Omega oils 3,6 and 9. That way we are getting enough of the right kind of fat to keep our bodies running not just smoothly but at an exceptional level. Instead of the oil coming from animals or fish the oil comes from seeds and nuts including flax seed, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.

I started taking the oil consistently about a month and a half ago and I feel amazing! The first thing I noticed is that I was falling to sleep better and waking up more energized and refreshed. To tell you the truth I have been waking up with so much energy I almost don’t know what to do with all of it! No more groggy mornings! I mentioned this to Flora and they said that a study was done and that was a common benefit among the people taking it. Next I started noticing that I all around feel good. I don’t know how to explain it but I feel happier, more relaxed and less stressed, like an overall sense of wellbeing.

In the next few weeks, I will be training harder and snowboarding more during our X Games event and World Cups so I will be able to put the oil to the test more athletically. I’ll keep you updated!

Another thing; it's really important to me to be aware of where the products I use come from. I will only promote companies that I know have integrity and that are quality products that I believe in. I truly feel lucky to have been introduced to this product and to be working with Flora.

From this point forward I’ll continue to blog about these products with tips and ideas on how to incorporate them into a healthy lifestyle!
