How much is your health?

Healthy Breakfast

Is your breakfast healthy?

A strong connection has recently been discovered between bad breakfast and many health-related problems.
As you might know, our body consists of 100 trillion cells which need 114 various nutrients during the day.
What you ate yesterday consists of two major groups of elements.
The first group supplies energy (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates).
The second group supplies building materials (amino acids, vitamins, minerals, microelements, and others).
You spent energy yesterday when you were awake, and your body used the building materials at night to regenerate itself.
Besides, your body has spent one (1) liter of water during the night through breathing, sweating, and morning visit to the bathroom.
So, your body wakes up empty in the morning and on behalf of 100 trillion cells begs you, "Hey, give me back all the nutrients, energy, and water I spent in the last 24 hours."  You may not feel hungry or thirsty in the morning, but it's just a matter of time.
And now, let's see what you are giving your body in the morning.

Now, what is really a healthy breakfast?
Criteria of a good breakfast:
1. Provides the body with all vital nutrients
2. Provides the body with energy
3. Provides the body with water
4. Helps to maintain a normal blood sugar level

Where can you find it?
You can find it in the Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix! Get good nutrition first thing in the morning!
Replace nutrients spent at night for body repair at the cellular level. You will get a nutrient-packed breakfast providing your body with

·         Balanced meal
·         Soy-based protein
·         Good carbohydrates
·         Fiber
·         Vitamins and minerals
·         Proper nutrition
·         Water
·         Amino acids
·         Phytonutrients
·         Anti-oxidants



Have more energy during the day.  Feed your cells, not just your stomach. Control your hunger and cravings. Improve your mood because you feel great from inside out!!!  Your blood sugar is controlled because you will not experience the blood sugar swing as discussed above.
Herbalife Shake has fiber and is easily digested so it is great for the colon, too.  It's less 150 calories only yet complete in essential nutrients that our one and only body needs!!! One serving of Herbalife Shake is equivalent to 9 nutritious balanced meals without the extra calories! That's the amount of nutrients you'll be getting from this incredible shake.
It's my healthy breakfast.  What about yours?
The basic idea of the healthy breakfast is to provide the body with good nutrition at the cellular level.  We have trillions of cells to feed.


Step 1:  Clean the digestive system.


Herbal Aloe Concentrate support internal cleansing and healthy elimination with organic nutrients and enzymes from the aloe vera plant.  These support the body's self-cleansing action.  These soothes the stomach and relieves occasional indigestion.  They also boost the immune system.

Herbal Tea Concentrate has antioxidant and thermogenic benefits of green tea and fast-acting botanicals for energy and weight-management support.
The "ABCDE" in TeaA - Anti-cancer (since it is a good source of anti-oxidants)
B - Fat burner
C - Improves blood circulation
D - Detoxifies your cells
E - Increases energy

Healthy Meal
The Healthy Meal is composed of the Nutritional Shake Mix ("shake") and Personalized Protein Powder (PPP).

The healthy Nutritional Shake Mix (or simply, shake) is a key part of Herbalife ShapeWorks inner nutrition product. This is designed by Dr. Sat Paul Dewan, who identified 84 of the nutrition elements in space food for the astronauts in some NASA space projects.  This high quality, low calorie nutritious pure food is specially formulated with an exclusive blend of soy isolate, casein, proteins, 24 essential vitamins & minerals, essential fatty acids, herbs, and essential nutrients.  This provides 19 amino acids including the nine essential amino acids that our body needs but does not produce by itself.  This also provides anti-oxidants that help our body fight disease-causing free radicals.

The Personalized Protein Powder (PPP) is made of soy isolate protein and whey protein.  This is added to the healthy Nutritional Shake Mix to meet your optimum protein requirement. The amount of PPP is personalized based on your current height and weight.  Protein is needed to build and/or maintain muscles.

Ideal Measurement

Assess your weight and body fat.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a standard weight assessment using this formula.
BMI = kg / m²  =  weight in kilograms / height in meters²

You can 
refer to the BMI chart  to know your body mass index
.
BMI Rating                Weight Assessment
Under 20 (men)        Underweight (slender and lean)
Under 19 (women)   Underweight (slender and lean)
20 - 24.99                 Normal weight (ideal weight range)
25 - 29.99                 Overweight
25 - 27                      Could be a healthy range
                                   if large-boned and heavily muscled
30 - 39.99                 Obese (high health risk)
40 and above           Very serious obesity
                                  (high risk for health complications)
A high BMI can be associated with serious health risks including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.  Your BMI provides a helpful guideline for achieving the weight range that is healthiest for you.  Using your BMI results, explore your personal path to healthier living with the help of Herbalife.  Herbalife is dedicated to helping people change their lives, both through powerful support and good nutrition made simple!Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) - Total body fat is not the sole indicator of weight-related problems.  Fat distribution is also relevant.  WHR shows the proportion of stored body fat around your hip and waist.  This is calculated by dividing the waist measurement by hip measurement.  (Hip is the widest part of your butt.)  Ideal WHR for men is 0.95 or less.  Ideal WHR for women is 0.8 or less.

WHR = waist / hip (men <=0.95; women <= 0.8)

Waistline - Your waistline can also tell you if you are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. (World Heart Federation)
                                      Increased Risk             High Risk
Men - not Asian                94 - 101 cm                >= 102 cm
Men - Asian                          -                             >= 90 cm
Women - not Asian           80 - 87 cm                   >= 88 cm
Women - Asian                     -                             >= 80 cm

Global Epidemic



What was your weight 5 years ago? 10 years ago?  What is your weight now? What would your weight be 10 years from now considering the trend? Assess your weight and your health risk using the information below.

What is fat? It is your body`s energy storage. Like any other body tissue, it needs to be supplied with blood.  If you have excess fat in your body, your heart would need to pump harder.  What if you have 10, 20, or even 50 pounds of excess fat?  Your heart would always be working more than it should.  You need to do something about it.  You can!  And we can help you.
Visceral fat, also known as organ or abdominal fat, is located around your internal organs (generally in your abdominal area).  High level of visceral fat means high health risk.  Visceral fat accumulation is associated with increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high LDL ("bad") cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, and stroke.  


What is being fat?  Being fat is a form of malnutrition.  Malnutrition could be under or overnutrition.  Being fat also means that you lack of protein.  Usually, fat people eat too much carbohydrates or food rich in sugar.  It is common for people who want to lose weight to skip a meal or eat much less food (biscuits or a sandwich, for example).  This could only add to their state of malnutrition.


If you do not look fat, it is still possible to actually have excess fats and be overweight or obese.  You may even have a healthy weight and BMI. This means that you do not have a healthy amount muscle mass.  The best way to know about the amount of fat in the body is to undergo a body fat analysis.

Obesity is a serious health problem. Excessive body fats increases your risk to cardiovascular diseasesdiabetes mellitus type 2sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Excessive body fats also lowers your level of adiponectin, a protein hormone that has anti-inflammatory effects on the cells at the walls of your blood vessels.  This increases your chances of various diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis (which can result to heart attack), and so on.  A recent American Cancer Society study showed that overweight women (BMI > 25) are 1.3 to 2.1 times more likely to die from breast cancer compared to women with normal BMI.

High level of triglycerides and LDL ("bad") cholesterol in the blood stream have been linked to risk in hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease resulting from atherosclerosis (or thickening of the walls of the arteries).  Taking your lipid profile regularly can help you monitor and take action to prevent or reverse this condition.

Weight Loss and Blood Pressure Improvement

According to Johns Hopkins, "Research consistently shows that overweight people who drop pounds also drop millimeters of mercury, according to a recent report published in Hypertension.  The researchers found that, on average, for every 2.2 pounds (or 1 kilo) of weight lost, blood pressure dropped by about 1/1 mm Hg. For example, people who lost about 11 pounds, had their blood pressure drop by 4.4/3.6 mm Hg."

According to World Health Organization (WHO)
70% of deaths are due to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
50% of these deaths are diet-related or due to what we eat (poor nutrition).
70% of visits to the doctors is diet-related or due to what we eat.
Obesity is a global epidemic.
Approximately 85% of people with diabetes are type 2, and of these, 90% are obese or overweight.
Globally, there are over 1 billion overweight adults, at least 300 million of them are obese.


Chronic overweight and obesity contribute significantly to osteoarthritis (a major cause of disability in adults), type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, and certain forms of cancer (cancer of the breast, colon, prostate, endometrium, kidney, and gall bladder).
World Health Organization (WHO)


Two-thirds (66%) of American adults are seriously overweight or obese.
One in six young people are obese, and one in three are overweight.
Obesity increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis-related disability, and cancer.


Even people with healthy weights die from heart disease, cancer, and other diseases caused by poor diet and/or physical inactivity.
Only 10% of Americans eat a healthy diet.
Only 2% of children eat a healthy diet.
25% of children ages 5 to 10 years have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or other early warning signs of heart disease.

There is a rising rate of children with diabetes.
Between 50% and 80% of diabetes cases are associated with unhealthy eating patterns and sedentary lifestyle.

What Did You Eat Today?

How does Herbalife help in weight lose?

Herbalife works on simple science and it not a "magic diet". Essentially, Herbalife is a low calories food replacement diet with high nutrients. With the excess calories from modern day food intake, we typically also get less nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Such imbalance leads to unwanted fats retention, and therefore an unhealthy diet. 

The challenge is that to increase nutrients intake with normal food, we can't avoid an increased in calories intake too. The same goes for a deliberate decrease of food (calories) intake which leads to our body being deprived of nutrients. Basically, it's not easy to get an optimum nutrition. 

Herbalife's Cellular Nutrition helps to address this issue. This double up as a weight management program that increases the deficiency (Nutrieints) and reduces the excess (calories) automatically. The program helps you to lose weight without feeling hungery and tiredness. 

So how exactly does Herbalife meal-replacement help one to lost weight and stay slim after getting off this diet program?

If you are serious in long-term weight loss, you need to maintain a lifestyle of healthy eating and exercising. Your weight is a fine balance between the energy you burn off (the amount of physical activity you do) and the energy you consume (the food you eat). 

If your daily energy intake from food is the same as the calories your body needs each day, your weight will stay the same. In other words, your body will be in energy balance. So how to ensure that your daily calories intake is the same or lower than what your body needs each day?

Meal-replacement products like Herbalife works by keeping the metabolism high while cutting the calories. It's a complete nutritional meal which is easily digestible and absorb by your body, feeding it at the cellular level. 

When your cells are healthy, your metabolism will improve and recover from prior effect of poor dieting. You'll not feel hungry and because it's also a very low calorie meal (only 90 to 180), your excess stored fats in your body will be burned and used as fuel instead.

Herbalife is about the way of life - and keeping weight off requires a lifestyle change. There is no weight-loss formula in the word that'll guarantee you staying slim IF you revert back to the old habits of poor diet and inactive lifestyle. However, unlike taking weigh-loss pills that artificially modify your intake of calories and never encourage lifestyle changes, being on a nutritional meal-replacement diet has many advantages. 

Upon reaching your ideal weight with Herbalife, you should continue to condition your body and mind with the maintenance program so as to get use to the new weight for a period of time. During this conditioning period where you kick the old habits of poor dieting, your body cells also regenerated and be replaced by healthy new cells. The increased body's natural metabolism from an improved system will help you to maintain your weight even though you may be totally off the program eventually. From then on, ensure that you eat healthily, watch that energy balance and you'll be on your way to long-term weight-loss. 

HOW??? Heal your VILLI!!!!!!!!!!


Have you ever wonder why the older you get, the harder it is to maintain your weight, let alone lost it?

There are people that work out everyday for an hour a day and eat low-fat food, and they still cant get those extra ten pounds off. As they get older, they noticed that their cravings for fats and sweets increase. They get more illnesses. They have more physical problems. They get tired all the time.


                                                Good and Damaged Villi

In your small intestines, there are finger like protrusions called villi. It is through these villi that absorption of nutrients from your food takes place. & through years, your villi get damaged and break off. This can be due to: Stress, Alcohol, Additives, Airborne toxins like exhaust fumes, Medications, Smoking, Fats, Preservatives, Drugs, Salts etc..
As your villi continue to become damaged, it becomes increasingly difficult for your body to absorb nutrients.

So what happens when your body is not absorbing the nutrients out of the food?
First of all, you start need more food - your appetite increases as do your cravings - because your body needs more nutrients. You also start to crave fats and sugar because they are the easiest substances for your body to absorb.

You become fatigued when your body is not getting the proper nutrition. When your villi are not healthy, your body thinks its starving and stores instead of burns your fat.

You may be saying, "Well, I eat really healthy, and I eat low fat foods and I take vitamins". Some of you may even be working out at the gym. Even though you may be doing all these activities, you can still be experiencing the symptoms I just described. The underlying problem is most likely absorption. No matter how much good food and vitamins you take in, if your body is not absorbing them, then it's a total waste.

To get your weight off and to keep it off, you need to feed your body on a cellular level. Your body can then repair and rebuild the villi to the healthy state it was in when you were younger.
Good Health Lasts a Lifetime with Cellular Nutrition.                                                         Everyone needs Cellular Nutrition. It's that important to your long-term good health.
Good nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. Learn the simple way to deliver the nutrients your body needs at the cellular level with Herbalife now.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL - PLEASE READ

An Amazing 71 years old lady suffering from Colon cancer, Breast Cancer, Stroke + Half Paralyzed, Numb & Harden Finger and Toes and multiple complication, refer to her LIVE interview in mandarin, how this Herbalife Healthy Nutrition Meal Making Such A Great Impact Changes to her life, which at that time, she was thinking her life journey in this world is coming to THE END. This product not only touch and make her healthy BUT MAKING AN AMAZING IMPACT CHANGE TO HER EVERYDAY LIFE !!!!
Thank You Mark Hughes & Thank You Herbalife.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEYWORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard Tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size....

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's life time.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle (lack of sleep) factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinaltract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction..

9 When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications..

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

A. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinaltract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

C. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

D.. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells, try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

E. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water -- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tapwater.. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs, etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16.. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.


CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.

Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.

Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.

This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as CorningWare, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
