*Sunlight

Exposure to sunlight facilitates weight loss in persons afflicted with obesity (by stimulating the thyroid gland and increasing the body's basal metabolic rate).

*Water

Drinking extra water may help obese persons to lose weight. A clinical study found that consumption of an additional 2 liters of water each day resulted in an additional 400 kJ of energy expenditure. This effect occurs via water increasing basal metabolism, primarily because the body uses energy to heat cold water to body temperature.

*High-Glycemic Diet

A high-glycemic index diet increases weight gain. High-glycemic foods increase the body's insulin levels, which in turn suppresses the "burning" of body fat for the production of energy and redirects glucose to be stored as body fat.

*Sugar

Simple sugars such as fructose, glucose and sucrose contribute significantly to weight gain. This occurs from sugars substituting for dietary fats and adipose tissue in the body's production of energy. Sugars that are not used for the production of energy are eventually stored as body fat (adipose tissue).

*Exercise

Increasing physical activity is a well-known method for increasing weight loss.

*Alcohol

Excessive consumption of alcohol increases weight gain. Even while dieting, alcohol significantly reduces the body's ability to burn fat and increases the body's tendency to store fat. When alcohol replaces other foods in calorie equivalent quantities in the diet, the rate of fat burning reduces by approximately 33%.

Finally Slim is one in a series of Opti-Blends

The Opti-Blends concept provides engineered combinations of nutrients that address specific health goals
Packaged in a way to provide a simple and convenient delivery of nutrients at their optimal ratio
Our uniquely designed blends reduce the need to take numerous different supplements to achieve outstanding results
With our exclusive use of natural ingredients, these blends offer a more consistent and cost effective approach to supplementation.

We add a combination of 77 fulvic trace minerals, mineral compounds and mineral elements, as well as a blend of "plant derived" enzymes to our products. This combination of natural vegetarian fulvic minerals and enzymatic compounds provides the greatest bio-availability of supplemental ingredients known today.

The added enzyme activity in our formulations ensures that nutrients are properly digested. And the fulvic minerals, which carry 60 times their molecular weight in nutrients directly to cells, are the transport agents of our supplements. This combination is the "one-two punch" that sets our products above and apart from all others.
