3 reasons the Nutrilite Foundational Trio is good for your health

                        

                   Protein and Nutrilite All Plant Protein

Protein, a macronutrient, is required for growth, maintenance and repair of tissue. It helps us stay energized and maintain lean muscle even as we age. But because our bodies don’t store protein, we need to consume it every day. The World Health Organization recommends .83g of high-quality protein per kg of body weight per day. For a person weighing 60kg, that equates to almost 50g of protein a day, or about 8 eggs. Athletes and active people need even more!

Because people probably aren’t eating eight eggs a day or the full 50g of protein each day, many choose to supplement their diet with protein powder.

Nutrilite All Plant Protein is a tri-blend of protein from soy, wheat and peas. It’s lactose-free, cholesterol-free and made from naturally sourced, non-GMO sources.

Omega 3 and Nutrilite Salmon Omega 3

Omega 3 is a fatty acid macronutrient that our bodies need to maintain healthy cardiovascular and nervous systems. It also supports our brains and arteries, which carry the nutrients to all the cells in our bodies.

The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fatty fish per week, like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines or albacore tuna, as they are high in omega-3 fatty acids. For people who don’t consume their two servings a week, they can supplement their diet with Nutrilite Salmon Omega 3.

One serving of Nutrilite Salmon Omega 3 is equal to the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that you would receive from eating 64g of ocean fish. We use ocean salmon and add other fish sources in our Salmon Omega 3 supplements for an ocean-sensitive, more sustainable formula.

Micronutrients, phytonutrients and Nutrilite Double X

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that our bodies need. They work together with micronutrients to perform hundreds of roles in the body that sustain life. It takes a lot of variety in our diet to get the optimal daily amount of vitamins and minerals.

In addition, phytonutrients are organic compounds found in plants that are thought to promote human health. They are found in fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and teas. When absorbed by our bodies, phytonutrients can help us stay healthy and keep our bodies working properly.

But, according to the Global Phyton

utrient Report, 60-87% of men and women globally do not eat the recommended minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

However, Nutrilite Double X can help fill the gaps in our daily nutritional needs, including 21 essential vitamins and minerals and more than 20 plant concentrates from every color of the phytonutrient spectrum. One very popular drink around the world is kale juice, which is promoted as a source of B1 vitamins. By comparison, one serving of Nutrilite Double X is equal to 232 cups of kale juice! What would you rather do? Drink 232 cups of kale juice or take Double X?

This simple, three-product set is the perfect way to build and maintain a foundation for wellness. Try the products out by talking to an Amway Business Owner where you live. We stand behind our products with a 180-day, 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

Warding Off The Sniffles

                                                               

                               

                              Warding Off The Sniffles 

There was once a long-held belief that cold weather was the cause of the sniffles, coughs and flu symptoms that plague so many people every winter. The idea was so entrenched that we still talk about “catching a cold”, using the threat of illness to force our kids to put on a coat or wear that new scarf from Nanna.

Of course, we now know that the common cold and flu are both viral infections. Exposure to the cold is not in itself liable to make us sick. We still need to come into contact with the virus, usually from someone else already suffering from the illness.

A Chilly Diagnosis

However, winter isn’t entirely off the hook. Cold weather suppresses the immune system, reducing our ability to fight off a virus or infection when we do encounter it. And when the weather keeps more of us indoors, living and working closer together for longer periods in confined spaces, there is an increased chance of prolonged exposure to cold and flu sufferers.

One sniffle entering the house can be enough for cold and flu to spread through the family like wildfire. And one overly diligent worker who doesn’t believe in taking sick leave can soon bring down the productivity of the entire office.

Winter Wellness

Before flu season hits, talk to your doctor about a flu vaccine. This is particularly important for any elderly or pregnant family members.

And yes, Nanna’s woollen scarf is still a must (and the mittens, and the hat). Make sure your kids respect the cold, wrapping up before going outside and avoiding damp or wet weather where possible.

You can also give your family’s collective immune system a boost with nutrition and vitamin supplements, such as Amway’s NUTRIWAY. Vitamin C supplements can top up the body’s depleted reserves to help fight off infection, while a good multivitamin and iron supplement is also great for maintaining your kids’ health and energy levels. Just a couple of great tasting, chewable tablets every day can keep your kids fighting fit throughout the winter months.

After all, your kids don’t want to be sick during the winter holidays, and you don’t want your kids to fall sick during school.

Hows your new years resolutions going?

                                                        

Have you made your New Year’s resolutions? Do you need some help achieving them?

If you find yourself to be a repeat offender of creating New Year’s resolutions, but ‘forgetting’ them a month later, then no more!

Don’t waste another year forgetting or making excuses about why you didn’t achieve your goals, and get a head start by using these helpful tips on some realistic resolutions to help improve your life in 2017.

New Year, New You!

The beginning of a New Year is the perfect time to give yourself a fresh start. One way to do this is to transform your look. A great way to start is by mixing up a part of your makeup regime. If you are always wearing the same old nude lip gloss, then why not trade it in a couple of days a week for a lipstick that will add a bold pop of colour, like the ARTISTRY® Lip Colour Crème in Daring Red? Not into red? Try the best-selling Velvet, or start small with the gorgeous Taffeta Rose.

Bring hair back to life with SATINIQUE® - whether you colour your hair, need extra volume or just a daily cleanser for the family, look no further than SATINIQUE. Does the New You involve a new style? Make that salon finish last with SATINIQUE’s range of treatment and styling products. If you’re not sure where to begin, try the Revitalising Mask for healthy, smooth and soft hair.

Lose some of that festive weight

The New Year is a perfect time to shed some unwanted kilos, whether it be from all that festive over eating or maybe you haven’t gotten around to shedding those added winter kilos, so if you’re ready to make some real changes it’s time to start today!

Why not give the BodyKey® by NUTRIWAY® 60 Day Jumpstart Pack a go. It is a comprehensive weight management program that provides you with a personalised path to your desired weight. Or if you want to try the program before fully committing then there is the BodyKey 30 Day Kit, which contains some of the essentials you need to get started on your weight management journey.

Did you know that the BodyKey by NUTRILITE®* powder shake included in the BodyKey by NUTRIWAY program is the #1 meal replacement shake globally that contains no artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, or preservatives.** These shakes are an essential element to the BodyKey program, which are available in delicious chocolate and vanilla flavours. If you want to get creative with your BodyKey shakes, check out the Shake n’ Shape online demonstrations, with great recipe ideas to help you create delicious tasting shakes every day. Why not check out the refreshing Green Smoothie Delight demonstration!

De-clutter your life, and I don’t mean metaphorically

Especially after the festive season, we can find ourselves feeling quite overwhelmed with the amount of tidying up that is needed. Whether it be the clutter from the young ones’ Christmas pressies, or from the dirt and grime left behind from visiting relatives, don’t let yourself be overwhelmed.

To start the New Year with a tidy home, check out the Clean vs. Tidy blog to discover how AMWAY HOME® can help you get your home into tip top shape with just a few simple tips & tricks!

87% of adults are not getting there 5-aday. are you?

        

                
       87% of adults are not getting there 5-aday. Are you? 

For over a decade, we’ve regularly heard the “five a day” message—we need to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables (400g) every day to maintain good nutritional health. Since the World Health Organisation (WHO) first made the recommendation in 20031, there have been a number of information campaigns and food labelling schemes around the world, designed to help consumers achieve a healthier diet.

However, a new report reveals that the message may not be getting through, with approximately nine out of every ten adults still falling short of the daily diet recommendation globally.

THE GLOBAL PHYTONUTRIENT REPORT

Fruits and vegetables are important for maintaining good health as they contain powerful phytonutrients. These contribute to eye, bone, joint and heart health as well as supporting your immune system and brain function.

But it isn’t just quantity that matters. You also need to consume a sufficient variety of colourful fruits and vegetables.

Last August the peer-reviewed British Journal of Nutrition published a report into the fruit and vegetable eating habits of people around the world, commissioned by the NUTRILITE Health Institute2. The report documented the staggering results of a study that revealed as many as 87% of adults are falling short of the WHO recommended serving of five fruits and vegetables a day.

To meet the WHO recommendation, most adults would need to at least double their current intake.

There are a number of reasons why this may be so. Modern busy lifestyles have had a major impact on our diets. Also, the cost and availability of high quality fruit and veg can be a challenge for some families.

But there are a few simple steps you can take to increase the quantity and variety of phytonutrients in your diet.

TAKE THE PHYTONUTRIENT CHALLENGE

Do you get enough fruits and vegetables to support your health?

1. Eat at least five servings (400g) of fruits and vegetables every day
2. Power up your plate with a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables to get a range of health benefits
3. When your daily diet is not enough, add plant-based supplements

PHYTONUTRIENT SUPPLEMENTS

The Global Phytonutrient Report was commissioned to mark the 80th anniversary of NUTRILITE® (branded as NUTRIWAY® in AU/NZ). NUTRILITE® is a range of natural health supplements founded on the vision of one man, Dr Carl Rehnborg. Rehnborg remained committed throughout his life to nutritional research, developing powerful supplements that are derived from the goodness of nature while channelling the latest advances in science.

NUTRIWAY® is the world’s best-selling brand of vitamins and dietary supplements3. If your own diet could do with a daily boost, check out the NUTRIWAY® range at our online supplements and vitamin shop.

How is your New Years resolution going?

                                               

                                        How is your New Years resolution going?  

Did you make a New Year resolutions at the start of 2017? Feeling guilty because we are now a one month through the year and you still haven’t done anything about your health and fitness?

The good news is - you can start now. Yes, it’s as easy as that! Forget about the last three months and take charge of your lifestyle today.

Being healthy and fit doesn’t mean expensive exercise equipment or a gym membership. It’s about making small and sustainable changes to your lifestyle over time.

Here are 4 easy ways to get on track and better your lifestyle in 2015.

1. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is what our ancestors used to do. If it comes in a box and isn’t something your gran would recognise stay away from it.

Support your local farmer's market and buy organic produce. Eat them raw where possible or use gentle cooking methods like steaming to get the most health benefits.

Instead of reaching for processed snacks like chips, eat a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts when snacking.

Children tend to follow their parents’ example in adopting healthy habits. A 2014 study by the University of North Carolina found that the main cause of childhood obesity was poor dietary habits that children picked up by observing their parents.

2. Slow down

Rushed meals and stress can contribute to poor health. Make a conscious effort to eat slowly and chew your food.

Slow down and avoid getting stressed over work issues or traffic. Eating quickly leads to digestive problems and stress can lead to poor sleep and fatigue.

If you are feeling stressed; breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth to a count of four. You can do this while sitting in traffic or listen to soothing classical music.

3. Embrace the outdoors

There’s nothing like warm sunshine and fresh air to heal and relax the mind and body. Go for a walk 3-4 times a week, swim in the ocean or lay down in your backyard with a good book for a dose of Vitamin D.

Every weekend, leave the chores and spend time outdoors. Switch off at regular intervals from modern life and technology by going camping or hiking.

Research has found that exercising outdoors is better - the rate of physical activity tends to be higher than being active indoors.

4. One change at a time

It takes a few months to adopt a new habit so don’t be too hard on yourself if you fall off the wagon during this time. Start over and soon the new habit will become second nature.

Make one change at a time. If you do it all at once, chances are you’ll soon give up because it will be too hard.

Small changes over a long time gives you the best chance at improving your general health and wellbeing.

Introducing a new foundation product, NUTRIWAY Vitamin B Complete. A dual-action tablet packed with natural spirulina and B vitamins to deliver 8 essential B vitamins.

DIETS ARE ENDLESS

               

                

                                       DIETS ARE ENDLESS

A Healthy Foundation That Keeps You Going

NUTRILITE™

An unbalanced diet can lead to deficiencies in the key nutrients that our bodies need: macronutrients, micronutrients and phytonutrients. These nutrients are universal and needed by everyone, regardless of age or lifestyle. To help bridge this dietary gap, NURILITE™ introduces its Foundational Trio – a set of three complementary products which combine to support your nutritional needs. The Foundational Trio features All Plant Protein Powder, Omega-3 Complex and DOUBLE X™ or DAILY.
Enjoy the benefits of complete daily nutrition with NUTRILITE™ Foundational Trio!

NUTRILITE is the world's No. 1 selling vitamins and dietary supplements brand.* It is a vitamin and dietary supplement brand that provides a complete range of nutrition and well-being products, including essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, herbal supplements, sports nutrition and meal replacements.

Inspired by company founder, Dr. Carl Rehnborg, and his experiences in the Far East, NUTRILITE has been blending the power of science with the natural benefits of plants since 1934. Our innovative use of science to maximise the beneficial properties of phytonutrients – nutrients found in plants – has been at the heart of the NUTRILITE brand ever since. Today, we proudly celebrate 80 years of helping people all around the world feel good and live active lives.

Why NUTRILITE™?

The NUTRILITE brand is built on a seed-to-supplement approach that brings nature and science together in perfect harmony. While living in China nearly 100 years ago, Nutrilite founder Carl Rehnborg discovered the importance of a plant-based diet. His real-life experience and extensive research into plant-based nutrients resulted in the creation of the NUTRILITE brand of food supplements. In 1934, Nutrilite introduced the first multivitamin/multimineral/phytonutrient supplement sold in the US.

Backed by 80 years of science and research, NUTRILITE™ is the world’s no. 1 selling brand of vitamins and dietary supplements. (Source: Euromonitor International Limited, www.euromonitor.com/amway-claims)

Science:

•    Nutrilite has more than 150 scientists, researchers, and educators, one of the largest scientific staffs in the industry.

•   Nutrilite produces 15+ billion vitamin and mineral tablets, and softgel capsules globally per year.

Nature:

•   NUTRILITE™ brand is one of the few worldleading food supplement brands to practice its own sustainable farming.

•   Instead of relying on harmful pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers, we let nature do the work.

•   Eight decades of sustainable farming techniques have been an integral part of NUTRILITE product development.

•    The Nutrilite team has enhanced the “seed to supplement” practice to preserve potency and maximize consistency, efficacy, and safety in NUTRILITE products.

Phytonutrients make the difference.

•   Phytonutrients are plant based nutrients that give fruits and vegetables their vibrant colour.

•  Plant-based supplements contain phytonutrients, which are natural plant compounds.

The Nutrilite staff, with more than 150 scientists, researchers, and educators, is working constantly to improve the quality of NUTRILITE products.

•  Nutrilite performs 25,000 tests each month and over 500,000 quality evaluations each year to ensure quality.

Farming

All our farms – over 6,000 acres in Washington State, Mexico and Brazil – replenish the soil and avoid synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers. They are also global good neighbours dedicated to giving back to the community.

Every plant is processed within hours of harvesting to capture as many of its valuable nutrients as possible.

Phytonutrients

Through careful processing, raw plants are dehydrated and concentrated into a fine powder (called a concentrate) that contains the plant’s natural nutrients and phytochemicals, without the water. Although each NUTRILITE concentrate is unique, they all share a common beginning as a nutrient-rich plant. These concentrates are added to many NUTRILITE products because they provide a wide spectrum of phytonutrients.

NUTRILITE Science

Years ago, our founder Carl Rehnborg pioneered sophisticated techniques to analyse the nutritional value of specific plants. Today, NUTRILITE scientists around the world use the latest methods and technology to improve ways of extracting the maximum goodness from our crops and evaluate new ingredients for our products. Our scientists research new formulations and innovative processing methods, explore new and improved products and ingredients, and use high-performance testing and analytical equipment to maximise plant concentrates for optimal nutrient content.

Every NUTRILITE product is the direct result of extensive field testing and laboratory analysis, conducted by scientists, microbiologists, chemists, pharmacists, nutritionists and other technicians.

Although not required, for all NUTRILITE Food Supplements we choose to follow good manufacturing practices (GMPs) to ensure that NUTRILITE Products are safe, properly identified and of the highest quality. We carry out 25,000 quality control tests each month and over 400,000 product evaluations every year. 

Well-being

Optimal well-being does not mean perfect health. Optimal well-being means adapting known inherited health risks and your current lifestyle to make the personal choices necessary to live your life as healthily as possible. For a personalised approach to being healthy, choose the best dietary, lifestyle, rest and relaxation habits for you – then, select supplementation products to support your healthy life. Nutrition and the pursuit of optimal well-being are at the heart of the NUTRILITE brand.

        Why Take Supplements?

Eight Good Reasons Why You Should Take Supplements

1. Your Diet

For most People, their diet consists of foods that are far from nutrient-rich: heavily processed; not organic or fresh; hardly nutritious; lacking in live enzymes; and often loaded with sugar, salt, fat, and additives. Even foods that are not processed (such as red meat, poultry, and fish) may be loaded with GMOs, growth hormones, and other toxic substances. As the Journal of Nutrition reported in 2011, the result is that many Americans are deficient in key nutrients.1

2. Toxic Overload

In our modern world, our bodies need nutrients to handle all the toxins that we encounter daily. In 2011, the National Institutes of Health calculated the devastating neurological impact of our toxic American life.2 The nutrients in food today just aren’t cutting it, especially when it’s a known fact that much of the food we eat is low in nutrients… and that much of this food itself comes loaded with toxins. You can choose supplements to help combat the overwhelm of toxins in your environment.

3. Genetic Hybrids

Producers are creating “hybrid” forms of fruits and veggies for their color, weight, and shelf life. But all this does is push nutrient values even lower. What you think is nutritious is not much more than indigestible cellulose, sugar, and water. As the New York Times revealed, we are “breeding the nutrition out of our food.”3 For example, genetic hybrid oranges have more pith (the white fibrous netting around an orange that’s indigestible), but much less vitamin and mineral content.

4. Soil Depletion

Commercial farming and powerful fertilizers have significantly depleted our soils of vital nutrients, both in the United States and around the world. According to USDA records and a 2004 report in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, nutritional values for fruits and vegetables today are woefully below what you could get in 1970s.4 Soil is slowly losing nutrients the essential nutrients we need for proper diet and nutrition. Our food is only as nutrient-rich as the soil where it grows.

5. Water Depletion

Water is also depleted of minerals due to modern production methods and the use of water filters. As the World Health Organization identified in 2005, important minerals (such as magnesium) are removed from our water in North America.5 For generations, humans relied on nutrient-rich water sources to provide these essential minerals that our bodies use. Today, many people are missing out on the daily nutrient intake from this key resource.

6. Poor Nutrient Absorption

Your body’s ability to absorb nutrients as you grow older, and many elderly also take medications that interfere with nutrient absorption. According to the Poliquin Group, half the U.S. population has inadequate stomach acid.6 This means food isn’t absorbed properly. Vitamin supplements can help compensate for nutrients lost during digestion.

7. Long Distance Produce

Today, much of the produce at your local grocery store was shipped from across the country or around the world. According to the Center for Environmental Farming Systems, vitamins in these foods are depleted, as they are shipped long distances and stored for long periods of time.7Sometimes, produce is harvested weeks or months before your purchase! Buying local and organic produce is your best option for the maximum amount of nutrition.

8. Exercise Demands Nutrients

When you exercise, your body demands more nutrients for energy production and recovery. Since much of today’s food lacks sufficient nutrition, supplementation bridges the gap. As the U.S. National Library of Medicine concludes, the more that you exercise your body, the more nutrients your body needs to maintain its optimum wellness.8

As you can see, there’s a clear need for supplementation. Supplements fill in the nutritional gaps in our diet.

Unfortunately, a “good, balanced” diet is not enough. When you take into account the combination of poor food choices, over-processed foods, and poor farming practices, our food yields sub-standard nutritional support.

A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2002 found that many people (including the elderly, vegans, alcoholics, and those with absorption problems) were not getting an adequate vitamin intake. It concluded that it “appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.”

In today’s society, taking supplements is an essential step towards optimum wellness.
