GoodLife Fitness’ free Teen Fitness Program offers teens a chance to get a healthy head start for school year

[London, ON]— Over 68,000 Canadian teens have currently registered for GoodLife Fitness’ Free Teen Fitness Program – a free summer-long Program that encourages teens to get active at GoodLife clubs across the country. In its seventh year, the Teen Fitness Program is seeing extremely successful registration rates, up from an average 65,000, as more teens are using the opportunity to take control of their health.

According to ParticipACTION, 68 per cent of Canadian youth, between ages 12 to 17 are sedentary for 50 per cent of their waking hours. Additionally, only 53 per cent of grade nine students reported that their parents are very supportive of them being physically active. With statistics like these in mind, GoodLife created the Teen Fitness Program to allow teens the option to pursue their own healthy lifestyle with access to cardio and strength training equipment as well as a variety of fitness classes, for free.  

“We started the Teen Fitness Program to help instill healthy habits within our Teens,” said Founder and CEO, David ‘Patch’ Patchell-Evans. “The Program has surpassed all of our expectations and we are thrilled with the results. We see Teens in clubs not only taking advantage of the program but setting an example for their families. We often see families come in to do a work out together, it’s truly inspiring to see.”

The GoodLife Fitness Teen Fitness Program takes place each summer from the beginning of July to the end of August. For more information on the program visit www.teenfitness.ca or www.goodlifefitness.com

Leader in Hot Sauces Ashley Foods Brings the Heat with Mark of the Beast Pepper Extract


SUDBURY, Mass., Aug., 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- You might think you're ready to experience
 the Mark of the Beast, but before you try it out, you should take a step back and prepare
yourself. Are you ready to sweat out every bit of liquid in your pores? Are you prepared to feel the burn?

After years of experimentation, hot-sauce master David Ashley has finally outdone himself.
With a heat level that comes close Plutonium #9 and some of Mad Dog's other hot sauces,
Mark of the Beast offers both maddening fire and a delicious, peppery flavor.
This high-quality HPLC-certified pepper extract offers a Scoville heat score of six million
units per drop. If you're not familiar with the Scoville heat scale, let us break it down for you.
Walking through a burning hell fire would seem like a cool shower compared to this stuff.
It's not for the faint of heart, but if you can't get enough spice in your life, you'll quickly
 realize you've met your match with Mark of the Beast. Like our other hot sauces and
extracts, we make Mark of the Beast in small, carefully monitored batches using the
 finest natural ingredients. Live life to the hottest with Mark of the Beast hot pepper extract.

Although Ashley Foods wasn't officially founded until 1991, David Ashley's passion for
hot sauce started much earlier. What began as an experiment in Ashley's home kitchen
in Brighton, Massachusetts, quickly grew into an empire of spicy prosperity. From
 winning national hot sauce awards to collaborating with famous musicians like the
Dead's Bob Weir or Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Ashley's Mad Dog 357 hot sauce brand
 has more than earned its strong reputation for taste and fire. The Ashley Food
Company prides itself on using carefully selected hot peppers from all around the
world as well as other high-quality, natural ingredients. Ashley Foods is a proud
American company, and we manufacture all of our products in the United States.

20 Unbelievable Reasons To Start Your Day With Water and Lemon

Article source: Living Traditionally
Adding lemon to water not only quenches thirst better than any other beverage, but it also nourishes our body with vitamins, minerals and trace elements which we absolutely need. Lemon with water can be considered the best natural energy booster. When we wake up in the morning, our bodily tissues are dehydrated and are in need of water to push out toxins and rejuvenate the cells. In other words, this homemade “lemonade” helps eliminate internal toxins, regulating proper kidney and digestive tract functions by forcing them to work as smoothly as possible.

  1. Water with lemon provides the body with electrolytes which hydrate your body. As lemons contain good amount of electrolytes such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Since lemons are loaded with Vitamin C, it acts as an adaptogen helping the body cope with viruses such as colds.  Furthermore, vitamin C helps the formation of bone tissue of the unborn baby. At the same time, due to the high content of potassium, a mixture of water with lemon helps forming cells of the brain and nervous system of the baby.
