Aloe vera juice comes from the evaporation of the fluids collected after simply cutting its leaves. Such a simple process for a juice that is really super complex! The benefits of aloe vera juice are numerous and growing as we discover them. And most of these benefits are essential to our bodies!
Did you know that aloe vera is loaded with nutrients? It contains vitamins A, B1, B6, C, E and seven others and more than twenty minerals. Considered an elixir by many, it’s know for abilities to protect the digestive system, cleanse the liver, produce positive effects on the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle, and it can be cosmetically healing to the skin. This plant is magical!
Did you know that free radicals not only do damage, but sometimes the damage is needed so they’re actually necessary? In fact, free radicals perform some functions that are necessary for life! They can kill unwanted bacteria at a cellular level.
And, yes, sadly these same free radicals, highly reactive chemically, also take part in side reactions that cause cell damage. In fact, it’s believed that numerous forms of cancer are caused by reactions involving DNA and free radicals. One of the best know protections against free radical damage is the use of antioxidants like those found in the schiazndra berry. It just so happens that herbalife has created a wonderful immune support supplement that contains schizandra berry and seed extract, together with selenium and the vitamins E and C. Very powerful immune support!
While there are about eighty-five species of krill, it’s the Antarctic krill from the southern polar oceans that has become predominantly used for it’s krill oil. Pure Neptune Krill Oil is extracted from these small sea creatures using a superior cold vacuum process.
Rich in omega 3 benefits, krill oil is known to help maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels for cardiovascular health. The oil of these little creatures also provides giant benefits for the protection of cell membranes and the flexibility of joints. Pretty mighty for a shrimpy critter!
Did you know that lipids, found in cold water fish especially, provide the omega 3 fish oils that are popularly used as supplements today? Marine oils is another name for fish oils and these oils are also highly present in phytoplankton.
As research goes on, numerous possible omega 3 benefits are being discovered. Diets rich in omega 3 fatty acids have been applied with success to aid inflammatory diseases of the skin, joints, kidney and stomach. In fact omega 3 fish oils appear to have more anti-inflammatory properties than those discovered in vegetable oils. Schooling ourselves about fish oils is proving to be valuable!
One of the people I know who has benefited greatly from the use of niteworks is my friend, Ron. I’ve spoken of him before. You might recall that Ron, an outdoors-man who lives in the mountains, was told one day that he needed to prepare for the possible amputation of his lower left leg. After Ron had suffered quite a bit of pain, the doctors reported that the leg was dying due to the fact that no blood pressure, therefor no blood flow, could be found.
While herbalife niteworks is not to be considered medicine, a cure-all or the remedy for any illness, Ron tried it as a last resort and had amazing results. Today Ron has completely passed the danger of losing any limb! After taking herbalife niteworks for only a couple months, the blood pressure in his leg was measured at forty-three per cent. And now, a couple years later, the blood pressure has climbed to seventy-three percent! A very grateful Ron still takes his walks on a daily basis and as he heads out the door he exclaims, “It’s time to shake a leg!”
Did you know there are literally thousands of miles of capillaries in our bodies? Their job is to reach every cell and permeate the tissue. This is how blood flow delivers nutrients to, and removes waste from, the cells of our body.
Obviously, all this is highly dependent on continuous healthy blood pressure causing a stable flow of blood through the arteries, veins and capillaries. If there is lack of blood flow, due to lowered blood pressure, numerous health difficulties may arise, including issues with heart health. A natural and organic, noninvasive circulation booster can be of excellent cardiovascular support. How about you, perhaps a little boost could help?
Well, we all certainly know that it requires a few things to stay in good shape. Basically, the formula should include proper nutrition with good calorie intake, staying hydrated while replenishing electrolytes, good physical activity and proper rest for recovery.
Let’s talk about the last two. We discovered that nitric oxide actually causes blood vessels to dilate and that increases blood flow to the muscles. Here’s something more to think about. If you increase the blood flowing to exercising muscles, that blood is delivering more oxygen and nutrients which will result in muscular growth and improved strength. Further, nitric oxide producing a surge in blood flow also increases waste removal from you muscles resulting in improved endurance and stamina!
Chondroitin and glucosamine have become the number one choice for joint health and joint function health. What becomes important, when taking glucosamine internally, is the effective absorption of glucosamine. This can be very important for gaining the full benefit of joint products. Glucosamine is best absorbed and enabled when combined with certain other enhancing herbs and antioxidant ingredients.
Joint Support Advanced by herbalife adds the healthy aging benefits of scutellaria baicalensis to its glucosamine content. This combined with the natural antioxidant activities of manganese, selenium and copper, make Joint Support Advanced the premiere glucosamine joint support supplement on the market today!
Sometimes, after you’ve rallied to get back on a physical activity regimen, there can be some sore muscles to deal with. It’s really a very common occurance to feel sore after physical exertion, and once in a while, there can be a muscle pull or strain. This is when it’s time to find effective, natural muscle relaxers. It can be key for muscles to release in order for them to recover allowing you to continue your program.
The muscle relaxing properties contained in the Chinese herb, dong quai, have long been used by women for relief of pain and muscle cramps associated with the menstrual cycle. This Chinese herb can be found in herbalife’s Tang Kuei Plus. Tang Kuei Plus has extended dong quai’s popularity to anyone, men and women alike, who seek muscular relaxation for relief from any type pain. These muscle relaxers can become an integral, natural part of anyone’s muscle recovery program.
While we’re on the topic of physical exertion, again, hydration is of extreme importance so don’t allow yourself to become dehydrated. Also on the physical activity topic, some of us have not worked out in a while and want to get back on track. So, while taking care of hydration, we might want to give ourselves a little mind-body boost to help get started up on the activity path.
