Friday Wellness: Making Your Joints Pain Free

How can one make an informed choice in today’s market place? Rely on Shaklee. In the case of Joint Health Complex, Shaklee doesn't just add glucosamine because consumers are aware of the importance of this key ingredient. Shaklee formulates the supplement to provide the level of glucosamine that has been shown in peer-reviewed, independent studies to provide benefit.

As slick as polished marble and tough as vulcanized rubber, cartilage is the wonder material that protects bones at the joints. No other substance is more resilient, a better shock absorber or lower in friction than cartilage.

Scientists have yet to figure out exactly why this joint cushion breaks down. However, they are learning how optimizing nutritional support assists the natural renewal process. Shaklee research is on the leading edge with the formulation of this unique combination of glucosamine as the hydrochloride, Cat's Claw and minerals in Joint Health Complex, providing the structural building blocks for maintaining healthy joint repair and an herbal anti inflammatory support. Usually 1 to 3 capsules once or twice a day is advised to see results within two weeks or less.

While many of the most popular glucosamine supplements provide 1,000 milligrams or less, Shaklee Joint Health Complex provides 1,500 milligrams—an amount shown by scientific data to provide optimal benefit.

But Shaklee didn’t stop there. The most common form of glucosamine used in glucosamine supplements is sulfate, but sulfate contains sodium—up to 30% by volume. In order to make Joint Health Complex the best supplement for everyone, including those who must avoid or reduce sodium intake, we use sodium-free and scientifically substantiated glucosamine hydrochloride. Our scientists also incorporated a beneficial amount of Cat’s Claw, because sound studies show that it promotes joint comfort.

Many other joint health supplements tout the addition of chondroitin in their supplements. While this compound has been widely studied, after rigorous analysis of studies involving chondroitin, Shaklee and other scientists consider it an unnecessary ingredient because the jury is still out on its effectiveness. Many experts agree that the uncertain science on chondroitin may be due to the fact that oral intakes of this compound are mostly destroyed in the stomach before it can be usefully absorbed.

Always look closely at competitor labels. You will see the Shaklee Difference.

Advanced Joint Health Complex contains a patent-pending, fast-acting form of Boswellia extract, a concentrated form of glucosamine and other key joint nutrients to help bring joint comfort and mobility.

Helps your joints feel better in less than 5 days. Watch the short video below.

Features of Shaklee's Advanced Joint Health Complex are:

• Patent-pending, fast-acting form of Boswellia extract: In a clinical study, it has been shown to improve joint comfort in as a few as five days
• The most concentrated form of glucosamine. Glucosamine is clinically proven to:

      Promote mobility
      Enhance flexibility
      Improve joint function
      Support long-term joint health

• Unique combination of key joint health nutrients: zinc, copper, manganese, and vitamin C – each playing a unique and critical role in building healthy connective collagen and cartilage
• Chondroitin-free for better glucosamine absorption
• 100% shellfish free
• 100% vegetarian – no animal-derived ingredients
• Easy open flip-top cap

A recent clinical study indicated with the combination of fish oil and glucosamine, you can significantly improve your overall joint comfort. And the amount delivered can be found in one daily serving of Omegaguard, Shaklee's purified, natural fish oil.

Thursday Wellness: Feeling Stressed?

Always Exhausted? Do You Have Trouble Concentrating or Abnormal Weight Gain?

Stress could lead to serious health complications. Women are stressed more now than ever and this increased stress may be harming their health. Most women hit the ground running early in the morning and don't let up until late at night, trying to balance work, family, and home life.

WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES?

A survey of women has shown that they tend to experience physical symptoms of stress more than men.i Stress in women is thought to contribute to a number of conditions including Irritable Bowel Syndrome,ii frequent colds,iii insomnia, poor mental performance, and even weight gain.

WHAT CAN You DO?

The first thing to do is recognize the early signs of stress. When you have identified your triggers then you can take action to calm yourself.

The first thing to do is recognize the early signs of stress. When you have identified your triggers then you can take action to calm yourself.

Try the following:

• Recognize the signs: Loss of appetite, increased appetite, headaches, crying, sleeplessness, and oversleeping are all signs that you may be too stressed.
• Relax: Deep breathing, exercise, and meditation are all helpful.
• Control what you can: Focus on what you can get done and then let the rest of it go. You will never be able to accomplish everything you want to.
• Exercise: The stress response is also known as the "fight or flight" response, meaning that when you feel stress, your body is ready for action. Exercising has been shown to help with stress and anxiety.
• Supplementation: there are many nutrients that can help with stress reduction.
  • L-Theanine is an amino acid which is known to help reduce stress. It works on the brain to help people feel relaxed but not drowsy.
  • Ashwagandha is an herb that has been studied to help reduce stress in humans.
  • Beta Sitosterol is a natural plant sterol and that has helped reduce the increase in cortisol in normally seen in stressed athletes.
  • L-Tyrosine is an amino acid used by the body to create the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and has helped to prevent a decline in cognitive function in response to physical stress.

In simple terms here are the top nutrients every woman could use:

• A Multivitamin is a great place to start to support overall well-being and can help fill in the gaps in your diet. A good multivitamin for women will have iron (if you are still menstruating), folic acid if you are planning to get pregnant, and a good mixture of antioxidants.

• Omega 3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA) are almost non-existent in our diets. Omega 3s calm inflammation and that is part of the reason why they are so helpful to women. EPA/DHA has been shown in studies to be important for memory, heart, mood, and even for healthy-looking skin. Most doctors recommend around 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams of EPA/ DHA a day.
• B Vitamins: Everyday life (with its stress, toxins) puts great demands on our bodies for extra B vitamins. The B vitamins act as coenzymes and are indispensable for metabolism. It is hard to name a system in the body where B vitamins are not needed. They are part of the immune system, the creation of red blood cells, reproductive system, brain, and energy production.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

These essential nutrients can make a change in your long-term health, but they are also important to help you feel better now. Click here for more information on these nutrients.

One of the hardest things for many women to do is to think of themselves first, but taking care of yourself and reducing your stress is a great way to be present and available to the people around you.

Eating on the run, too many processed and prepared foods, and not enough fresh foods adds up to more calories and less nutrients (exactly the opposite of what women need).

Fatigue and lack of energy is one of the more common complaints a doctor hears from women. If you find that you don't have the energy you used to have, there is a lot you can do right now to get back on track to a more energetic you.

It is no surprise that women are tired; they are busier than ever. Many are juggling work, children, family and endless responsibilities — it is a recipe for fatigue. All of this hustle means that women are not taking care of themselves; not eating right, not getting enough nutrients, nor are they getting enough exercise or sleep.

Our busy lives leave us with low energy, irritability, stress, worn down immune systems, and may even lead more serious conditions like depression.

Not getting the right nutrients can actually increase your risk for many long term diseases, but not having enough nutrients also means that you probably don't feel at your best right now.

Wellness Thursday Tip:

Stress Relieving Tips For the Mind

1. Cultivate gratitude. Things will go wrong throughout our workday, or at least not according to plan. This is inevitable. We can take the sting out of these negative events by focusing on what’s great in our life. Each evening, write down three things you are grateful for. They can be as simple as seeing a gorgeous sunrise or being complimented on your new pair of shoes.

2. Meditate regularly. A consistent mediaiton practice — even if it’s only five minutes a day — may help lower blood pressure , and can help us control the thoughts that can trigger stress. The next time you get stressed because your boss just added another task to your already overflowing to do list, stop and take a breath. Shake out your body, sit back down and meditate for five minutes.

3. Learn to say “no”. Being overbooked, overworked, and overcommitted will lead to stress. We often feel obligated to say “yes” to everything for fear we won’t be liked. But the greatest act of stress relief is exercising your right to say no. You can be polite but firm: Explain to others that you are overcommitted and that you must say no. And yes, you can even tell your boss “no”; just explain that one more project will mean the quality of your work will drop. Negotiate priorities.

Wellness Wednesday:Ultimate Healthy Foundation Support

A Medical Doctor's Personal Experience with Vitalizer

I've been meaning to write this letter for several months and hope it finds you and your family well. I wanted to formally thank you for introducing me to the Shaklee Vitalizer pack.

In the medical profession, high stress is a given; stress/time management skills are crucial. My practice also presents frequent limitations on routine exercise, proper diet, and efficient sleep. "Do as I say, not as I do" is the old familiar quote.

After only two days of taking the Vitalizer pack daily, I began to notice remarkable differences. It was only then that I paid any attention to the product flyer: as I read the claims of improved energy, libido, well-being, focus, sleep, etc, I had felt the pamphlet may well have been printed just for me. Even my irritable bowel symptoms have disappeared (it's been years!). I was no less than astounded.

The medical literature supports that, in today's "rat race" society, a daily vitamin/mineral supplement is beneficial for those that cannot maintain a healthy and balanced diet/lifestyle. My patient's then also ask "which brand should I take?" I have no hesitation in recommending Shaklee's Vitalizer product. I actually sense that Shaklee is truly a company by the people and for the people. I wish I could say the same for the other things I prescribe...

Again, I thank you. Please feel free to use this letter to help or guide others in similar situations to mine.

Kind Regards,

Jason Reed, MD - Internal Medicine

Wellness Wednesday Thought

A Sedentary Diagnosis

If you don’t exercise regularly, your lifestyle would be categorized as “sedentary,” a classification that one respected researcher believes should be considered a medical condition.

Dr. Michael Joyner, a physiologist at the Mayo Clinic, pointed out that the lack of physical exercise is a key contributor to obesity, which in turn can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, joint damage and a host of other chronic medical conditions. In addition, even normal weight people can be affected adversely by sedentary behavior. Those who work long hours behind a desk or patients who have to spend extended periods in bed can become “deconditioned.” As a result, bones and muscles atrophy, blood volume decreases and endurance declines. When these people attempt to resume exercising, their heart rates may increase too much, making them dizzy or uncomfortable in other ways.

Tame Your Email

While email has improved our ability to communicate with coworkers, friends and family, it has also become a major source of stress for a lot of us.

To get control of your inbox and reclaim your day:

• Read: The first step is to read your email, and not when you’re driving down the road or when you’re in line at Starbucks.  Read it for content and understanding.
• Decide: The second step is to decide on your next action step. What do you need to do with this message to move it forward?
• Act: The third step is to do it—to act on it. If you can quickly respond to an email, do so.
• Contain: The fourth step is to keep the information organized. You need to decide on a way to organize your folders so they make sense for you. Most email management systems allow you to write rules that will direct your messages automatically into specific folders. Another helpful hint is to put numbers in front of your file names instead of alphabetizing them.

Wishing you health and wellness from the inside out,
