Liquid Health- The Benefits of Selenium

When you’re a child, you cannot wait to grow up.  Unfortunately, what proceeds growing up is growing old.  Contrary to popular belief, senior living centers do not consist of attractive nurses giving sponge baths and hilarious denture related pranks.   The vast majority of senior living centers exist because muscular dystrophy has made it unsafe for seniors to live on their own.  As many parents know, and anyone who has lived with my old roommate Justin, living with people who cannot take care of themselves is no fun.  There are two primary ways you can avoid this fate.  The first is to beg Sean Connory for his method of never aging or you can follow Liquid Energy’s advice and try Selenium.
With selenium and a silly hat, anything is possible

What is Selenium?
Selenium is a trace mineral that is used in antioxidant enzymes that protects cells against free radicals produced during the normal oxygen metabolism process.  These free radicals, left alone, can damage cells and contribute to the development of chronic disease.  Selenium is also essential for the everyday functions of the immune system and can be found in almost every cell in the body.  The highest concentrations of selenium are in the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and spleen.
Don't let your cells look like this
Selenium Study:
There was a study done involving 891 men and women over the age of 65 who volunteered to have blood drawn to monitor selenium levels.  They were then tested on the strength of their hips, grips, and knees.  The government states the minimum level of selenium should be 1.25 micromoles per liter of blood, but the study’s averaged placed 0.95 micrometers per liter of blood.  Bad old seniors!  After analyzing the data, the study found that those with the lowest levels of selenium were 69 percent more likely to possess poor hip strength, 94 percent more likely to have poor knee strength, and 94 percent more likely to have poor grip strength.  This study requires additional research to conclusively prove selenium can reduce muscular dystrophy but there are hopes this study can encourage additional research that can conclusively link selenium to muscular dystrophy.

Where can I find Selenium?
You can find selenium in most meats, nuts, unrefined grains, brown rice, wheat germ, and oats.  The concentration of selenium depends on the richness of the soil in which the plants were grown.  The recommended dosage is 55 mcg for women and 70 mcg for men. If you are worried that your selenium intake is inadequate, you can always purchase dietary supplements at Liquid Energy online by taking BioFuel which provides 100mcg’s of selenium per day.

My Liquid Energy Experience Part 2

I am running. I do not know why I am running but I know it is essential that I do not stop. My memory returns as a giant robotic dragon, firing explosive Care Bears at me, emerges from the cornfield I’m fleeing from. Fearlessly, I decide that this bully will not ruin my life with his intimidation tactics and I will confront this steel beast. A quick glance behind me inspires an equally heroic alternative: hiding. I courageously dive into a conveniently placed ditch and hope the dragon passes me by. While bravely hiding in this ditch, I have a worrisome epiphany. A robotic dragon that can utilize explosive Care Bear technology most likely possesses infra-red technology as well. I hear a buzzing noise above my head and, with my eyes closed, peak up to meet my doom. I open my eyes to come face to face with the cold, dead, eyes of my alarm clock. I curse loudly and jump out of my bed with an abundance of panic. The alarm clock reads 8:20 AM.
When they stop caring, they're just bears


I do not normally react this way when I view my alarm clock, but today was an exception. The reason for this odd behavior is that I made a contract with my alarm clock the previous night. The contract explicitly states that when I set the alarm clock for 7:30 AM and the alarm goes off at that time. Unfortunately, my alarm clock did not seem to honor our agreement as it smugly displays the time. I have to leave for work in 10 minutes.
Alarmingly evil


Guided by fear, I threw on clothing and drove at speeds that make a mockery of highway safety laws. I curse and tailgate any car with the audacity to drive anywhere near the speed limit and pretend that an extra 5 miles per hour will suddenly make my arrival to work on time. During this charade, my stomach voices its displeasure at not receiving its morning tribute of delicious cornflakes. The rest of my body joins in the revolt by issuing a series of yawns, a demand to return to bed. I fight back by viciously shaking of the head, which is not only ineffective but also gives me a slight headache. By the time my head stops hurting, I have reached the office.
Deliciousness Personified

At the office, the A.M. Program sat in the refrigerator for me. I remembered the energy that I experienced last time and decided to see if it could quell my body’s uprising. A few manly sips later, the A.M Program was consumed. This batch tasted much better than the previous drink and instantly sedated my stomach’s demands for cornflakes. After a few minutes, the A.M Program traveled throughout my body and put down the drowsiness uprising. It even went a step further and even replaced this drowsiness with energy! My body was saved thanks to this product! I braced my body for the “tingles“(I am told this is a niacin flush from the B-Vitamins) but they were nowhere to be found. I attribute the lack of tingles because of the superior defense my body offers now that I armed it with proper nutrition. I believe I have officially become impervious to harm. We will test this theory later. The rest of the day I was energetic and productive. With a decent taste and no tingles, I would say that today was the day I started believing in this product. I hope one day my belief in Alex Smith will mimic my faith in this drink.

My Liquid Energy Experience

I began using multi-vitamins around two years ago. My weapon of choice was a generic multi-vitamin from Target that my mother bought me. After 6 months, my friend told me about his father’s multi-vitamin company. I googled his dad’s company and, according to Google, it didn’t exist. My body is a temple and I do not put things in my temple that Google hasn’t heard of. That is, I didn’t until he told me that since we’re friends it would be HALF PRICE.

I began taking my new multi-vitamin the next day, laughing at the commoners who paid full price. My gleeful feeling of superiority lasted until a voyage to the restroom. In there, my eyes informed me that I was excreting a neon green colored urine. This instantly warranted a call to my “friend”. In this phone call, I accosted him with unflattering comparisons to celebrities, a questioning of sexual preferences, and overall language unfit for a country club. A few minutes later, he informed me that he did not leverage my love of savings into the perfect assassination. Apparently, when your body reaches its desired amount of water-soluble vitamins, it removes the extra nutrients from your body through radioactive waste colored urine.




Toilets beware
As an intelligent reader, I’m sure you understand the purpose of this story. Taking Liquid Energy Online products avoids damage to your health. I haphazardly took two multi-vitamins and the following occurred: an assassination attempt on my life, a damaged friendship, and urine discoloration. Six months later, I came to my senses and tried Liquid Energy Online’s AM Program.

Liquid Energy Online’s AM program consists of BioFuel, Aloe Plus, Get-N-Go Plus, and BioAlert. The company has a Google friendly website and the product was reasonably priced. I’m down. After looking at the orange-yellow color of the drink, I was fearful the product was a victim to the worst marketing mistake in history: mango flavoring. I thought, “I hope this doesn’t take like mango. I hate mangos. Who honestly thinks, ‘this is good, but with mango flavoring it could be great!’” No one, that’s who. To those readers with functional taste buds, there is absolutely no mango taste in this product! I would describe the taste but I do not have a clever analogy so you will have to purchase the product for yourself by clicking here #subtlemarketingattempt

After three sips, I finished the AM Program. Instantly, a tingly sensation took over my body. I gave my drink a look of betrayal, but the drink ignored it and continued to act like an inanimate object. The tingly sensation appeared to be the drink’s contents lowering my stress levels (probably caused by mangophobia [trademarked]) subsiding. Without mangos to bring me down, I felt energized and focused. I stopped glaring at the clock, trying to move time forward, and resumed working! Within the next hour, my productivity, which normally declines after 2 PM, increased dramatically. I became so focused on my work that I may have actually moved time forward and when I checked the clock it was almost time to go! Note: There are currently no scientific reports proving that this product will give you the power to move time forward, although there is an unscientific report (this one) that says it will. Play the numbers people.
Time flying is much creeper in person
There is no question this product is awesome, but the final test remained. Is it practical? I boldly walked into the bathroom to find out. To my delight, this product is bathroom approved! The BioCellular Micellization, which you can learn about here, caused me to absorb all the nutrients keeping me from flushing more money down the toilet. Thank you Liquid Energy!
I carry an approval stamp with me at all times
