Back to School with a Splash of Immunity: The Importance of Hydration with Electrolytes

As the school bells ring and the hallways buzz with the excitement of a new year, it’s crucial to remember that the back-to-school season is not just about sharpening pencils and refreshing notebooks. It’s also about preparing our bodies for the challenges that come with a more rigorous schedule, increased social interactions, and the inevitable exposure to germs. One of the most effective ways to arm ourselves against the flu season and the general wear and tear of daily life is by ensuring proper hydration, especially with electrolytes.

Electrolytes are essential minerals in your body that carry an electric charge. Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium are key electrolytes that work together to help you stay hydrated, maintain the balance of fluids in your body, and support muscle function. When you’re dehydrated, your body can’t work as well, and you may feel tired or get sick more easily.

This is where CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ comes into play. It’s not just any electrolyte drink; it’s a natural powerhouse designed to keep you hydrated and support your immune system. With the flu season on the horizon, CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ is a proactive choice to help you stay healthy and ready to tackle the school year.

What sets CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ apart is its blend of functional nutrients that go beyond just hydration. It’s formulated with immune-boosting ingredients that can help your body fight off the viruses and bacteria that are more prevalent during the colder months. Whether you’re a student, a teacher, or a parent, keeping your immune system strong is paramount, and CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ is here to help.

The beauty of CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ lies in its medical-grade hydration. This means that it’s designed to hydrate your body more effectively than water alone, especially when you’re under stress or feeling the effects of illness. The key vitamins and minerals in CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ are essential for maintaining optimal health, ensuring that your body has the tools it needs to function at its best.

In addition to its immune-boosting properties, CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ is a great way to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, whether from physical activity or simply the hustle and bustle of a busy school day. It’s also an excellent alternative to sugary sports drinks or sodas, offering a healthier option that won’t lead to energy crashes or unwanted calories.

As we gear up for the school year, let’s not forget the importance of taking care of our bodies. Hydration with electrolytes is a simple yet effective way to support our health, and with CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+, we can do so while also giving our immune systems a boost. So, grab a bottle, take a sip, and prepare yourself for a healthy and hydrated school year ahead.

Remember, staying hydrated is not just about drinking more fluids; it’s about drinking the right fluids. With CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+, you’re not just hydrating; you’re fortifying your body against the challenges of the school season. Stay hydrated, stay healthy, and let CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ be your ally in the fight against dehydration and illness this flu season.

The Art of Harmonizing Nutrition, Hydration, and Exercise

While nutrition and hydration often take center stage on our platform, today, our focus shifts to the integration of these elements with exercise. Achieving optimal synergy between nutrition, hydration, and exercise is pivotal for maximizing performance and reaping the full benefits of physical activity. CF Nutrition’s products are designed to help you, alongside physical activity to truly optimize your well being.

Nutrition and Exercise: A Symbiotic Relationship
Nutrition and exercise exert a profound influence on the other. Proper nutrition serves as the fuel that powers physical exertion, enabling individuals to perform at their peak. Conversely, exercise impacts the body’s nutritional needs, necessitating strategic dietary adjustments to support enhanced performance and recovery.

Hydration’s Role in Exercise
Adequate hydration is crucial for sustaining optimal physical performance. Water is the body’s primary component, and its consumption is vital for regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and facilitating nutrient transport. During exercise, the body’s demand for hydration escalates, underscoring the need for strategic fluid intake to avert dehydration and sustain peak performance. When exercising, water is often not enough based on your body’s losses during exercise. CF(Rehydrate)® effectively replenishes electrolytes and is an excellent source of hydration. 

Strategies for Harmonizing Nutrition, Hydration, and Exercise

  • Pre-Workout Nutrition:
    • Consume a balanced meal comprising carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats approximately 2-3 hours before exercise to provide sustained energy.
    • Opt for easily digestible snacks, such as a banana or yogurt, 30-60 minutes before a workout to fuel shorter bouts of exercise.
  • Hydration Pre-Exercise:
    • Drink 16-20 ounces of water 2-3 hours before exercise.
    • Consume an additional 8-10 ounces of water or CF(Rehydrate)® 10-20 minutes before commencing physical activity.
  • During Exercise:
    • Maintain hydration by sipping water at regular intervals, aiming for 7-10 ounces every 10-20 minutes during exercise.
    • For prolonged or intense workouts, drink CF(Rehydrate)® to sustain optimal performance.
  • Post-Workout Nutrition:
    • Consume a combination of carbohydrates and protein within 45 minutes of completing exercise to replenish glycogen stores and facilitate muscle recovery.
    • Opt for nutrient-dense foods to support the body’s repair and recovery processes.
  • Hydration Post-Exercise:
    • Rehydrate by consuming CF(Rehydrate)® to compensate for electrolytes lost during exercise to restore fluid balance.

By strategically aligning dietary choices and fluid intake with physical activity, you can optimize your performance, expedite recovery, and fortify their overall well-being. In conclusion, the harmonization of nutrition, hydration, and exercise is a cornerstone of holistic health and fitness. By embracing a comprehensive approach that integrates these elements seamlessly, individuals can unlock their full potential and embark on a journey of enhanced vitality and physical prowess.

How to Optimize Your Post Surgery Recovery With Nutrition

We know that recovering from surgery can be stressful and let’s face it, it’s TOUGH? Just like many things in life, focusing on nutrition after surgery can help you bounce back faster than ever! Today, we break down how you can optimize your recovery through nutrition. 

Tip #1 Eat Enough Calories- especially from Protein

Surgery puts your body under a TON of stress. Your main priority after surgery should be adequate nutrition and calories- NOT weight loss. Some people fear that due to inactivity, recovery may cause weight gain. This is a valid fear, but decreasing calories after surgery is not recommended. In actuality, your caloric needs are actually higher because your body needs extra fuel during the healing process. Protein becomes especially important to help your body heal and for tissue repair and growth. If you undereat during the healing process, your recovery time may be prolonged. If you are unsure of how many calories and how much protein you need after surgery, it is best to speak to your healthcare professional. 

Tip #2 Hydrate!

Equally as important as getting adequate calories from food comes HYDRATION! Typically, it is recommended to drink at least 8 cups of water per day. During recovery, adequate hydration is crucial! If you are not already in the habit of keeping your water intake up, then now is the time to start. In order for your body to heal, maintaining adequate hydration is key. In addition, certain medications may require you to consume more fluid than normal, so check with your doctor. 

CF Nutrition offers two amazing hydration products that will come in handy during recovery. CF(Rehydrate)® Immunity+ and CF(Rehydrate)®  are excellent choices for optimal hydration after surgery. Each drink has key vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes to effectively replenish and hydrate. Order these products now to accelerate post surgery recovery.

Tip #3 Eat Balanced Meals

As we pointed out above, now is not the time to diet, but it is the time to focus on nutrient dense meals. Post surgery, eating well balanced meals and a variety of foods helps your body get the nutrients it needs for tissue repair. Try to get all three macronutrients in to help accelerate your recovery. This means, you want to include protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. It is also important to include fruits and veggies to get in your micronutrients.

Here are some examples of great post surgery meals:

  • Salmon with Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts
  • Chicken Breast with Brown Rice, Broccoli and Avocado
  • Black Beans and Brown Rice with Bell Peppers and Onions
  • Avocado Toast With a Hard Boiled Egg and Fruit
  • Mahi Mahi on a Whole Wheat Tortilla with Avocado Slices
  • Greek Yogurt with Sliced Almonds and Blueberries 

Recovering from surgery is no joke- but with the proper nutrition, you CAN accelerate your recovery. Take control of your nutrition and follow these tips to feel your best after surgery. Visit our website for more post surgery tips and tricks.

3 Key Habits to Implement This Year

It’s that time of year again where New Year resolutions are in full effect. At CF Nutrition, our goal is to give you the tools to feel your best all year long. It is time to

kickstart a happier, healthier you in the new year! In today’s blog, discover some effective habits to transform your well-being and radiate positivity all year long. 

Habit #1 Incorporate More Plant Based Meals

There are so many benefits of focusing on plant based foods for one or even two days a week. You don’t have to go completely vegan, but incorporating plant based days can show a positive change in your body and health. Plant based foods help support your immune system. This is because plant based foods have essential vitamins and minerals that you can’t get from other foods. They also contain antioxidants which help keep your cells healthy and your body in balance. This in turn, helps your immune system function better. By incorporating more plant based foods into your diet, your body will better be able to fight off infections and protect you against viruses and germs. A strong immune system will also help reduce your risk for developing chronic disease like cancer. 

Habit #2 Plan Your Meals Ahead of Time 

Meal prepping is a fantastic way to plan ahead and make sure you are eating healthy throughout the week. Some people choose one day to meal prep for the entire week, while others choose to break it up and meal prep on two separate nights. Either way, prepping your meals can save time and money so you don’t have to eat out during your work day. 

Meal prepping also allows you to be more consistent with healthy eating. Not only is eating out expensive, oftentimes it isn’t the healthiest choice either. Although many restaurants offer healthy options – they sometimes load up your meals with extra salt or give you extremely large portions that can lead to weight gain overtime. When you make your meal at home, you can ensure you are using clean and simple ingredients and prepare your food the way you want it. 

Habit #3 Stay Hydrated

Hydration is KEY to feeling your best. During the winter time, when it is cold, sometimes we forget to drink enough water. It is crucial we continue to make hydration a top priority even in the colder months.  In order to stay hydrated, an adequate balance of water and electrolytes is crucial. Electrolytes are minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.) that are involved in an abundance of internal events, such as neurotransmission and maintaining a balanced pH in the blood. CF(Rehydrate)® is an excellent source of concentrated electrolytes for medical-grade hydration.

CF(Rehydrate)® is a natural electrolyte replacement drink designed for medical-grade hydration. Free from artificial colors, flavors, and sugars, CF(Rehydrate)® delivers the electrolytes and essential hydration you need, without the harmful additives found in sports drinks and other hydration products. Adding CF(Rehydrate)® into your daily routine is a sure fire way to stay on top of your hydration needs.

Now you have 3 key habits to incorporate to feel your best all year long. Visit our website to learn more about how to stay healthy this year!

End 2023 Feeling Your Best Our Top Tips to Stay Healthy

We know the holidays can be a busy time of year and sometimes we sacrifice our health leading up to the new year. But let’s change that this year. Don’t wait until the new year to start incorporating healthy choices into your daily routine. Today, we share our top tips on how to stay healthy this holiday season and kick start your new year goals early!

Tip 1 Add in Some Movement!

 Exercise is a proven way to support immunity. In addition, it will help you maintain a healthy weight. During the holiday season, make sure you alot time in your schedule to get moving, whether it be by yourself or with the whole family. Getting to the gym may be harder depending on your schedule so incorporate more walks and at home workouts. 

If you are traveling, it may be more difficult to stay focused on exercise. However, having ideas for maintaining your fitness beforehand will likely encourage you to stick to a more consistent schedule. Consider purchasing an apple watch or fit bit to help you stay on top of getting steps in daily. Set a daily target for movement goals and stick to them even while you are away. Maybe try and visit walking trails or hikes a few days of your trip as this is an easy way to stay active. 

No matter where you are, make sure to plan your exercise recovery accordingly by bringing an electrolyte beverage like CF(Rehydrate)® with you for post-workout recovery. 

Tip 2 Plan Ahead if you are Traveling

Like most things in life, a little bit of preplanning and forethought is often beneficial (if not necessary) for enabling plans to run smoothly. If you are visiting a big resort that includes meals, we suggest calling ahead to ensure healthy food and beverage items are available. The same protocol applies to any restaurants you plan to attend, especially if they are part of a preset itinerary where attendance is required. These suggestions are especially important if you have any specific dietary needs or restrictions, such as gluten intolerance or a dairy allergy. Most hotels and chefs will be more than happy to accommodate your needs. If they’re not, checking in beforehand will allow enough time to adjust your travel plans and go elsewhere, if needed.

If you’re traveling for pleasure and can eat wherever you want during your trip, consider browsing local restaurants and cafes that offer healthy menu items beforehand. Yelp, Happy Cow, and Google are all great resources for identifying restaurants that cater to specific dietary needs and specialty food preferences. While trying local cuisines can be a fun part of the travel experience, it may be helpful to eat at least one meal a day closer to your usual diet to avoid shocking your digestive tract. If you plan on arriving in a city early in the morning or late in the evening, you can also check out which restaurants can deliver directly to your hotel room and order on the way. Knowing where to order ahead of time can prevent getting overly hungry and making food choices out of convenience over health.

Tip 3 Increase Your Fiber Intake

Consuming enough fiber is crucial to regulating bowel function, weight, and blood glucose management and preventing certain diseases. Most Americans do not consume enough dietary fiber. On average, Americans consume about 15 grams of fiber per day, far lower than the RDA, regardless of age or gender. The best ways to increase fiber intake are choosing whole grains whenever possible, consuming legumes and beans, and increasing fruit and vegetable intake. Drinking CF(Protein)® can help support you in achieving the RDA for fiber, as it contains 13 grams per one 8 ounce bottle.

 Fiber may help reduce the risk of developing various diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. Studies show that the intake of fiber lowers the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cross-sectional Data (2003-2006) showed that intake of whole grains (rich in fiber) was associated with enhancing the effects of statin in lower cholesterol. Fiber may also  help prevent constipation by regulating bowel movements. Constipation is a common gastrointestinal problem that many people experience. If you have chronic constipation, you may need to ramp up your fiber intake, and drinking CF(Protein)®, is an easy and effective way to do so. As always, if you have a chronic health issue, it is best to speak to your doctor for any specific recommendations.

Fiber can also help maintain a healthy weight. High fiber foods are typically more filling than lower fiber foods. They also help keep you feeling fuller for longer. Satiety is the term used to describe your fullness. Fiber increases satiety after a meal. If you are looking to lose weight, increasing your fiber intake may help by increasing satiety and preventing the intake of excess calories.

Now you have all the tips and tricks to stay healthy and finish 2023 strong, start adding in some healthy habits TODAY! Visit our website to learn more!

Why is Protein Important in my Diet?

Protein is one of the three macronutrients that is necessary to include in your daily diet. Despite recommendations from different FAD diets, you need all three macronutrients in order to maintain your health, energy, and fitness goals. Eliminating any of the three macronutrients puts you at risk for nutrient deficiencies and illnesses. 

What is the purpose of protein in my diet?

Protein has several important roles in our body. It helps you build muscle and helps you recover. It also helps repair your muscles and keeps you well nourished. 

How do I incorporate protein in my diet?

Not all protein is created equal. One easy tip when choosing a protein is to choose lean protein over breaded or fried. It is also best to limit red meat to once or twice a week. Although red meat serves as an excellent source of protein and iron, it is also high in saturated fat which can lead to high cholesterol. Another tip is to incorporate fish 2-3 times per week. Fish is a great source of lean protein and certain fish like salmon and tuna can provide omega-3. Omega-3 helps to raise the good cholesterol, HDL. 

It is also important to incorporate plant based meals when possible. One way to add plant based protein into your diet is with CF(Protein)®. CF(Protein)® has 13 grams of protein from pea protein. Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids. It is easily digestible and has a pleasant taste and texture. Additionally, it is a good source of iron and other nutrients. Unlike other protein powders like whey, pea protein is not a derivative of milk so it can be consumed by those with allergies or following a specialty diet (vegan, vegetarian, paleo, etc.).

How much protein should I be eating?

The amount of protein you need is different based on many factors including, age, weight, height, activity level, among other things. To find out how much protein you need, we recommend speaking to your doctor or a trained professional. 

What are the recommended uses for CF(Protein)®?

CF(Protein)® is an excellent product to consume regardless of whether or not you have a surgery on the calendar. A rich source of plant-based protein, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds, this nutrient-dense drink provides a concentrated dose of healthy ingredients to fuel your day.

Some ingredient highlights include:

  1. Plant Protein: Our plant-based protein is easily digested, with yellow-pea protein contributing a significant dose of amino acids that promote muscle recovery and repair.
  2. Complex Carbohydrates: Complex carbohydrates derived from fruits allow CF(Protein)® to deliver a rich energy source without the use of cheap, low-quality additives and simple sugars found in most protein drinks.
  3. Healthy Fats: Functional fats from chia seed oil provides a healthy dose of essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to help minimize inflammation and saturate the body with healthy fats.
  4. Electrolytes: Coconut water is an excellent source of essential hydration, supplying minerals and electrolytes to recover and revitalize from surgery, sports, or summer heat.

While CF(Protein)® is a great on-the-go snack or mealtime supplement for anyone, it may be particularly useful in supporting the nutritional status of certain people. 

At CF Nutrition, we recommend consuming 1-2 bottles of CF(Protein)® daily if you are:

  • An athlete (or particularly active individual)
  • Underweight or malnourished
  • Elderly
  • Recovering from illness or injury
  • Preparing for or recovering from surgery
  • Following a liquid diet
  • Traveling
