Earth Day 2013 - What are you doing to help?

Yes, this still holds true, except now we have added 4 more years to our statistics of saving the planet!! <<The number of Basic H2 bottles sold last year (2009) contained the same amount of clean as nearly 1.7 million 26-ounce bottles of conventional, ready-to-use window cleaner—that’s enough bottles to wrap around the earth 11.4 times. Through sales of Basic H2, combined with last year’s sales of Get Clean Starter Kits, Shaklee saved 71 million pounds of greenhouse gases and 31 million pounds of packaging waste!>>

What are YOU doing to help our environment? Why not SWITCH today? What are you waiting for - it's the easiest thing you can do for your health, the health of your family and pets, and the health of our planet. Thank  you for changing brands and for caring. 

  

Lose 5-10# in 5 days - Healthfully!!

Here is my version of the 5 day Body Reset diet that Harley Pasternak put together using Shaklee 180 Smoothees. I lost 5# and 1/2 inch on my waist in just 5 days. I had more energy than everyone around me and I wasn't hungry!! I know it's healthy and I didn't lose ANY muscle!! That's been clinically tested! These are the products you will need. Please let me know you want to start so I can help you get them ASAP. 

1st: Wake up & drink 2 glasses of water every morning.

Next: Drink 1st smoothee within 1/2 hour of waking up.
Drink 1- 2 glasses of water between each meal or snack.

Have 1 or 2 Energizing Tea's per day to help fill you up & give you energy. I recommend morning & early-mid afternoon. Diet soda & coffee make you hungrier, Shaklee Energizing tea makes you feel fuller!

Every 2-4 hours have a meal or a snack.

3 SMOOTHEES: You may blend your smoothees with 1/2 cup of fruit OR 1 cup of greens, or, just shake with 8oz. low fat milk or light soy milk. 3 smoothees per day, or 2 smoothees and 1 Meal Bar. It is recommended to have one with fruit, one with veggies and one plain.  

2 SNACKS: Choose protein and fiber for each snack. 2 snacks per day + 3 smoothees.

Shaklee 180 snack bars, Shaklee 180 Crisps and/or 1/2 a Meal Bar are the recommended choices for at least one of your 2 snacks. You can have the Shaklee snacks for both if you want to make it really easy. Here are some other options:

Protein - ONE serving

hard boiled egg

1 string cheese
low-fat cottage cheese (sold in individual servings)
deli meat

   natural peanut butter

almonds

   almond butter
   hummus

Carbohydrates/Fiber
1/2 cup grapes, berries, etc.
1 cup carrots, celery sticks, etc.
small apple
1/4 c. dried fruit

   1/2 banana

   1 cup greens/salad with veggies
   popcorn 

Remember PORTION control!! Your snacks should be 100-300 calories, depending on your current weight and your activity level! 

And of course.... always have Shaklee 180 snack bars & Meal Bars with you - you don't want to be stuck without what you need when you are out somewhere.

5 DAYS: After 5 days, continue with your Shaklee 180 TurnAround Kit or Lean & Healthy Kit, depending on your goals.

Are You Certain You’re Getting The Nutrients You Need?

Vitalizer is the most advanced multi-nutrient supplement pack available today. More than just a multi-vitamin, it provides crucial vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega-3s, and healthy probiotics in one daily serving. Designed to improve absorption of key nutrients, Vitalizer gets the right nutrients to the right place at the right time, supporting your immunity, heart, bone, and joint health and promoting energy and vitality.* And it works! Vitalizer was designed to deliver the range of nutrients taken by participants in a 20-year Landmark Study. This study conducted by the UC Berkeley School of Public Health showed the overall health of Shaklee supplement users to be markedly better than non-supplement users based on key measures of health such as lower triglycerides and a healthier cholesterol ratio. Feel better in 30 days or your money back!
† The nutrient content of a daily serving of Vitalizer™ is not the same as the amount of nutrients found in the foods shown. Detailed nutritional information can be found on the Vitalizer supplement facts box. Every food provides nutrients beyond those listed. ‡ A serving of nuts = 1 oz., a serving of steak = 3 oz.

Why Supplement

---

Americans are some of the most overfed and yet undernourished people on the planet, and it shows. The United States ranks 40th in the developed world for life expectancy even though we spend far more per person on health care than any other country. A new study from the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine says that the life-expectancy gap between the US and other developed countries is only getting larger. Shocked? We should be!

Proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle plays an important role in helping prevent many major diseases (like heart disease, diabetes and even cancer), but getting proper nutrition in our modern world can be a challenge.

Let's take a look:

•	Our bodies cannot produce many of the nutrients we need, so they must be found in the food we eat and the supplements we take every day. Additionally, if the food we are eating is lacking nutrients, then supplementing can really be beneficial in staying healthy.
•	Most people say that they eat well, but research shows that 80 percent of Americans are not eating enough servings of fruits and vegetables.i We are also not getting enough Omega- 3 oils (EPA/DHA), antioxidants, B vitamins or a host of other nutrients our bodies need.
•	The nutritional content of our food has changed. A 2004 study of common crops showed a decline in the nutrient content between 6 and 38 percent over the past 50 years.ii
•	The amount of processed food that we eat has been on a steady climb ever since the invention of the refrigerator. Today, most of us eat more processed food than non-processed food. Convenience has become more prized than quality.
•	Our high stress and fast paced lives increases our needs for nutrients, especially the B vitamins.
•	The world is a much more toxic place than it used to be. Our bodies are exposed to more pollutants and under more oxidative stress than ever before. We need optimum nutrition in order to help our bodies battle these stresses.

None of us are perfect, there are days when you might eat well, but then days when you don't. A multivitamin, along with other key nutritional supplements can be the insurance policy you are looking for to fill in those nutritional gaps that may leave us vulnerable.
