Introducing Herbalifeline

2008-02-19T10:17:00.000-08:00

Many people used to take a cod liver oil capsule and felt they had one nutritional requirement covered at least! Nowadays, our busy and often stressful lifestyles mean this may no longer be sufficient.

Marine food is truly nutritious, yet studies show that the European diet often does not take full advantage of this fabulous marine harvest. Herbalifeline enables you to benefit from the fruits of the sea; formulated to help maintain supple joints, and to support the natural function of the heart and circulation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Aren't fats harmful?
Foods containing polyunsaturated fats provide us with Omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are the 'good' components of fat.

Why is it important to consume sufficient amounts of Omega-3 EFAs?
Omega-3 EFAs are essential to maintain health - the body cannot produce them independently and must obtain them from dietary sources. Unfortunately EFAs are often deficient in the modern western diet.

Why are Omega-3 EFAs often defficient?
Marine food, the main source of Omega-3 EFAs, is not such a popular or regular culinary choice. It is often expensive, can be more difficult to cook, and may not appeal to people's tastes as much as meat and cheese dishes.

Are you getting enough?
At least three portions of marine food per week is recommended by most nutritional experts.

But what if you don't like fish....?
For those who only eat fish once a week, or less, Herbalifeline's quality Omega-3 ingredients help to top-off the body's needs and fit in with a busy lifestyle, in the form of a simple capsule. Each capsule contains three essential oils - thyme, peppermint and clove - which help keep the fish oil fresh and pure and reduces any fishy aftertaste.

What's the difference between Omega-3 and -6?
Many of the oils we use are plant based and these provide a good supply of Omega-6 EFAs but have virtually no Omega-3 content as these are mainly found in marine food.

What are the benefits of taking Herbalifeline regularly?
This supplement has been formulated to help maintain supple joints, and to support the natural function of the heart and circulation. The ingredients also help maintain healthier looking skin. (A common sign of EFA deficiency is dry skin.)

You can order a month's supply of Herbalifeline online today! All Herbalife products have a 30-day guarantee so you can try them for a month and see how you feel!

Introducing Niteworks!

2008-02-13T19:33:00.000-08:00

Nitric Oxide controls the circulation of blood, ensuring our arteries efficiently nourish our entire body, whilst supporting healthy blood pressure. Natural production of Nitric Oxide can decline with age and it is at its lowest during the night.

Scientific research has revealed that L-Arginine and L-Citrulline liberate the action of Nitric Oxide, assisting the body in its natural production of this life-supporting molecule. Niteworks has been formulated specifically to supply these vital amino acids together with beneficial antioxidants that also assist the natural production of Nitric Oxide.

Niteworks is a scientific breakthrough, developed in conjunction with Nobel Laureate Lou Ignarro who has dedicate his life to researching the health-enhancing benefits of Nitric Oxide.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Nitic Oxide - I've never heard of it! Worldwide, thousands of research papers have already been published extolling the many virtues of Nitric Oxide - this essential molecule is expected to become as 'commonly known' as Vitamin C.

Don't I get enough Nitric Oxide in my diet? Nitric Oxide is naturally contained in a regular diet although it can be hard to get enough. It is also created during exercise. However, production decreases during the night and may begin to decline around the age of 35+. So if you are in your mid-thirties, or younger and coping with a stressful lifestyle, supplementing with additional Nitric Oxide is a wise supportive measure.

Does Niteworks only work at night? During the night, the body replenishes itself, rather like recharging a battery. We recommend that you take Niteworks only once a day, during the night, as you should get enough Nitric Oxide during the day from your exercise and food.

Why should I choose Niteworks over other Arginine-containing products? Its superior formulation provides antioxidants Vitamin C and E which extend the activities and lifespan of Nitric Oxide in the body.

Niteworks is available to order online now! Plus, if you place an order for 2 Niteworks cartons during Heart Health Month (February 2008) you will receive a FREE copy of Dr Ignarro's book about how Nitric Oxide can help prevent heart disease and strokes.

Lifestyle & Nutritional Factors combine to help your heart!

2008-02-06T10:40:00.000-08:00

Maintaining a healthy heart depends on a combination of many lifestyle and nutritional factors these come together to form a "healthy lifestyle". Some of the key factors include:

Avoiding high-fat and high-sugar foods
Choosing vegetable oil over animal oil
Eating at least two portions a week of lean fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout, tuna) to help increase intake of beneficial fatty acids
Avoiding saturated fats (found in animal products, lard, full fat milk, cheese, butter)
Reducing salt intake
Consuming at least 5 to 7 portions of fruit or vegetable servings daily to provide adequate levels of fibre and antioxidants
Choosing wholegrain bread over white bread to increase fibre intake
Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water every day
Boiling or steaming food instead of frying
Exercising regularly
Quitting smoking or significantly reducing the number of cigarettes smoked
Monitoring cholesterol levels
Achieving and maintaining ideal body weight
Reducing stress levels, which contribute to low immune health and heart problems
Taking time to relax and recuperate!!

All of the above factors ensure a better oxygen-rich flow, better Nitric Oxide production (more on this to come in another post) and therefore, can help you to maintain a healthy heart!

Look after your heart!

2008-02-04T08:15:00.000-08:00

We all know that it's important to look after our heart. It's our most vital organ after all. But there are certain factors you cannot change relating to your risk of heart disease. You need to focus on the main factors that you CAN change, which will help create a healthy environment for your body and your heart.

Three factors you CANNOT change, but need to be aware of:

1. Gender - Men are at greater risk of heart disease and will usually have problems earlier in life than pre-menopausal women. After menopause, hormonal changes put women at higher risk of developing heart-related diseases.

2. Age - As you get older, your body's organs start to malfunction creating blockages and jams. Usually men over 40 and women over 45 are more exposed to heart risk than younger people.

3. Hereditary - Heart disease is hereditary. If your parents had heart disease, you are more likely to be at risk.

Factors you CAN change:

1. Weight - People who carry extra weight put pressure on their heart and joints. As these unhealthy extra pounds come from high fat foods, the impact on your body can be seen from the outside as well as from the inside. High fat will result in cholesterol. Cholesterol will in turn clog your arteries and will lead to blockages. Watch your waistline and decrease your cholesterol by reaching for lean, soy rich foods and eliminate high fat animal protein from your diet. You can control your cholesterol by watching what you eat! Don't forget your Herbalife nutrition programme is a great source of protein and soy rich nutrition.

2. Exercise - Doing some sort of exercise is an important component of any healthy lifestyle. Exercise gets your blood flowing faster by pumping more oxygen rich blood to your body. Just think about how you feel after 30 minutes of exercise or an hour's walk in the park. Your whole body breathes... In addition to this, exercise helps to reduce stress. Instead of sitting in front of the TV or computer after a hard day's work, go to the gym and feel how relaxed you are after 30 mins.

3. Smoking - If you smoke, your risk of heart attack is more than twice that of non-smokers. Just imagine if you postponed your first cigarette by 10 minutes every day. By the end of the 1st month, you will have cut down almost 20% of your daily intake. If you get the urge to smoke, breathe deeply for 5 minutes. By doing this, your brain will react the same way as it does when inhaling the smoke from a cigarette. Try it - the results are fascinating!
