As I continue on my diet herbalife program and enjoy investigating all the ingredients, vitamins, minerals and botanical nutrients available for our bodies, I have to acknowledge that sometimes I’m a bit overwhelmed by what’s been happening to and for me! It’s no joke that a lot has changed with me.
Just taking the health challenge that I did when starting my herbalife diet plans, demanded that I seriously structure my life into a regimen that would match the quality of the program I was undertaking. That meant I would be eating properly and nutritiously, exercising, staying hydrated and electrolyte replenished and resting properly. And, of course, to do all this would require a determined attitude with a focus on staying discipled while eliminating any habit that might work against me.
And you know what? Like all human beings I’ve had a few set backs, but I find if I just pick myself up and continue on, it’s not long before I’m right back on schedule! So far I’ve lost some weight, feel a lot better, and have a great energy level. what could be more beautiful?!
In fact, that’s what comes to mind every time I reflect. I seem to have found something truly beautiful. I’ve become a charter member of the herbalife beauty club!
I highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested…

According to experts, free radicals are ions, atoms or molecules with unpaired electrons. Radicals may not be charged, but in human physiology, unpaired electrons in cells are highly chemically reactive. Radicals, or free radicals, that are chemically reactive, are known to cause aging, degenerative diseases and cancers.
As I understand it, aging and degenerative diseases, according to Professor Denham Harman’s famous theory, are the result of oxidative damage caused by these free radicals. And as we get older, the sum level of oxidative stress on our bodies continues to increase.
So, it makes perfect sense when antioxidants are recommended as supplements for support in prevention of oxidative damage for better health. Antioxidant properties can be found in vitamins such as A, C and E, and in certain herbs like schizandra, rosemary and numerous other plant extracts.
When seeking antioxidants that best suit your needs, make sure you find natural and organic supplements that fit well with a high quality cellular nutrition program!

Have you ever heard the term, essential fatty acids? Essential fatty acids can be of tremendous importance to your cardiovascular health! These “good” fatty acids come in the good kind of omega 3 fish oils. Should you choose to supplement with fish oils, it’s important to find omega 3 fish oils showing they contain EPA and DHA on the label.
Recent clinical studies showed that DHA and EPA omega 3 benefits were profound for those given 4 grams per day. The trial went on for five years and those subjects given fatty acids with EPA and DHA had uniquely superior cardiovascular function. Subjects with unhealthy cardiovascular health lowered both triglyceride and bad cholesterol levels by 45 to 50 per cent. From the study, experts concluded that EPA is promising for prevention of coronary events, particularly non-fatal coronary events!
Taken in combination with Neptune krill oil, omega 3 fish oil DHA & EPA can provide powerful cardiovascular health support!

What is Neptune krill oil? Neptune krill oil comes from Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba. The Antarctic krill is abundant and the oil is extracted at low temperature. Together with omega 3 benefits, it contains phospholipids that are unique. Neptune krill oil is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin E and astaxanthin antioxidants. Some experts report it to be much higher in content of these antioxidants than fish oils.
Known for it’s support in heart health and lipid levels, it’s also believed to aid joints and other systems in the body while enhancing natural energy. For these reasons, and because of it’s highly absorb-able form of omega 3 fatty acids, Neptune krill oil has become popularly used for supplementation in the United States.

As I’ve said, cardiovascular health is of importance for anyone at any age. And, yes, of course, it becomes increasingly important with age. So, lets talk about why people, including myself and many of my herbalife colleagues, pay particular attention to the importance of herbalife niteworks and nitric oxide.
Simply put, nitrogen monoxide, commonly know as Nitric Oxide (NO), is a molecule that blood vessels use to signal surrounding smooth muscle to relax which in turn triggers vasodilation for increased blood flow. Well known heart attack aids like nitroglycerin and amyl nitrate are effective because they convert to nitric oxide when taken into the body.
So, now, doesn’t it make sense to take a supplement that could assist your body to naturally produce nitric oxide at night when nitric oxide levels are lowest in the body? Numerous studies have indicated that heart attacks occur frequently first thing in the morning right after sleep. This is when natural bodily produced nitric oxide is least available in the body. So, yes, obviously it make sense to supplement with something that enhances personal nitric oxide production especially when you’re on a program of physical exertion! With such supplements, together with a good cellular nutrition program, your energy and cardiovascular health are wisely promoted!

OK, so let’s say you’ve got started on a good cellular nutrition program, are feeling pretty good and have started to feel the desire to shape up! Besides your diet herbalife program for nutrition, you’ll need some form of physical activity to put your newly discovered energy level to good use. A good walk every day is an excellent way to begin. And, believe it or not, at any age, it’s smart to pay attention to your cardiovascular system while exerting yourself. And of course, particularly with aging, subjects like cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure will definitely come up.
Finding a supplement that enhances your cellular nutrition program in terms of cardiovascular health can be very important. Not only should it be a good circulation booster promoting cardiovascular support and normal blood pressure, but it should promote youthfulness and elasticity in the blood vessels themselves. The nitric oxide produced from the ingredients in herbalife niteworks can help accomplish all these things while simply being part of your herbalife diet plan. Finding something like this can also be convenient to keep up with when it’s already supplemental to your chosen program.

Did you know the circulatory system is actually considered an organ system? What it does, while flowing through your body, is distribute nutrients like electrolytes, gases, amino acids and hormones. It passes these substances to and from the cells of the body to perform such functions as fighting diseases, stabilize body temperature and overall support maintenance of normal body functions (called homeostasis).
Actually, there’s two kinds of fluids, not just blood, in the circulatory system. There’s blood and lymph. Your blood, heart and blood vessels make what’s referred to as the cardiovascular system, while lymph, lymph nodes and lymph vessels make up the lymphatic system. Together, the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems form the organ circulatory system.
Obviously, the circulatory system is an absolutely vital organ system needed for sustaining life. So, for those who experience inadequate blood pressure, a good natural circulation booster can be of great value. While there are scores of products claiming to be instant remedies for blood pressure levels, it’s probably more advantages to find something one can take consistently as a supplement fitting a cellular nutrition program that will introduce and maintain it’s benefits evenly over time.

We have all experienced skeletal pain caused by injuries, a bad medical condition or even just a bad sleeping position. We will see a doctor if we think it is a serious condition. But in some cases, we just reach out for a muscle relaxer to ease our pain.
Muscle relaxers act on the Central Nervous System (CNS) to relax muscles, ease pain and reduce stiffness. Muscle relaxers are among the more common modern day medications prescribed to people with pain. It can also be said that muscle relaxers are abused often in the sense that people tend to just pop them into their mouths when they feel some muscular stiffness or pain. While it is deemed effective, these drugs are also notorious for side effects. Examples are drowsiness or dizziness, dry mouth, urinary retention or even possible addiction.
When you do choose appropriate energy boosters that are natural and organic, after a time, you will begin to experience a higher sustained energy level throughout your day. I found that once I began experiencing that boost in metabolism, I actually was inspired to begin being more physically active. Many of my colleagues that are on the same type diet herblife program I am, have been moved to do the same. So I think it’s a common occurrence. Somehow we all feel better after physical activity of some sort. Just clearing the lungs and getting the blood flowing is energizing!
And, if you’re starting to get up in years, you’ll want to be a bit careful about overdoing it! Always make sure you stay hydrated with plenty of water and electrolytes. And, you might want to think about muscle recovery protein drinks, if you’re working out and working muscles, with some sort of glucosamine joint support. Most experts agree that supplements containing glucosamine hcl are excellent cartilage re-generators and restorers of joint performance.
Being smart about your physical activities always means supporting your physical program with proper nutrition, hydration, and rest. Good natural supplementation is also a great way to support your nutrition and help protect against any unnecessary pulls and strains.
