Superfoods Save the Day in
North Pole Expedition
Here are excerpts from the story.
Click HERE to Link to the complete article
"Working as a Natural Health Practitioner, I receive many varying requests for nutritional support. One of the most interesting and challenging requests was developing an entire support program for a client wanting to train for a 14 day excursion to the North Pole via cross country skis pulling a heavy sled. Many of the things I originally suggested would have either frozen, not been able to be prepared or were too heavy. This is where I turned to the incredible, Health Force products of Vitamineral Green and Spirulina and a high quality Australian Bee Pollen along with other foods that were high in healthy fats, protein, antioxidants and natural plant sugars."

North Pole Expedition
by Saladin Amery
I recently went on an expedition to the North Pole, which demanded a great deal of preparation for the journey. Under the guidance of Inge Solheim, from Storm Adventures (www.stormadventures.no), I began my exercise routine to help build stamina. While I knew that my friends Inge and Farzin Pourmokhtar had me on the right track regarding my needs around exercising, I turned to my dear friend, Dana Heather of Balanced Living,( who has also become my naturopath & homeopath), for a supplements regimen that would prepare me for the journey. Although the supplements and quantities varied throughout the year of preparation, Vitamineral green (a natural organic power made from various high nutrient super food substances), Superfoods, essential fatty acids and anti oxidants were always present.Dana was really excited and decided to sponsor the supplements for our expedition. Taking Vita-Mineral Green as a base mixed with a plethora of other super foods, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, raw cacao and healthy fats were combined and called 'power balls' that I could take with me. The energy balls would address all my minerals and vitamin needs while on the journey, help with the necessary anti-oxidants and lactic acid build up, during the day's exercises, and make sure my overall health did not deteriorate during the expedition.
The journey started according to plan, but we soon learnt that at the extremities of the World, there are no guarantees and the weather is very unpredictable. We put our lives at risk daily, trying to find ways to cross water leads across our path, tested by pressure ridges (where the ice flows would push against each other, creating high jagged barrios) that we would have to climb over, and the constant challenge of the weather. With freezing temperatures reaching -35C, high winds and for a period of 58 hours, we were pinned down in a blizzard; as if it wasn't enough, a crack developed in the ice that ran under two of our tents putting us in grave danger. It was a grilling and dangerous adventure, but we all survived, reached our target, and were better individuals after the experience.
I can honestly say, that the power balls, which I tried to take at every break, truly helped, not only myself, as I had made extra, but at least half the group, relied on them to some degree. I never experienced any muscle pain, or lactic acid build up. My body energy was always at an optimum level, and my health never deteriorated during the expedition. My tent partner Kevin Kilduff, who we endearingly called 'Baby Shack', in light of his Irish decent and in honor of Shackleton, relied on the power balls as much as I did.
It was very kind of Dana to sponsor me with the Vita-mineral Green, and other super foods during the expedition. I have a truly high regard for such natural super foods, and have come to rely on them in my daily life.
Thank you Balanced Living and Jameth Sheridan of Health Force for making this all possible.
