Hi there everyone.

At last it seems that we are out of the depths of winter and spring is just beginning. Great!

I attended a workshop two weeks ago when Barbara and Brian Jacques, two of the presidential coordinators, introduced an extended Lifestyle Analysis. The new flow charts for each system of the body are very detailed and allow you, your friends or clients to self diagnose by identifying their own symptoms. There are specific products listed for particular conditions, some of which were only previously available on the USA Special. You can now order these products at any time if they are the ones recommended on the flow charts. It was an extremely interesting day and more of these workshops are being arranged for April onwards.

One of the most important points that came across during the workshop was that we are what we eat. As much as half the food we eat may be over processed and nutrient deficient thanks to modern day problems such as our environment, pollution, stress and illness. Nature’s Sunshine has made it easier for you to obtain your daily nutritional essentials by offering a selection of multivitamin and mineral supplements – and that’s just what they’re meant to do – supplement your diet to help your body function properly. To help you choose the right one for you, I’ve detailed each one opposite. And don’t forget, if you need any advice then please give me a call on 01689 856581 or email me on lynne.gully@optimumhealth.co.uk

Multivitamins and Minerals

The multivitamin and mineral supplement is the most common natural health product bought by the general public. Why? Because people are now beginning to realise that their food is not what it used to be. Through over-processing of our food and the lack of nutrients in the soil, much of what we eat is lacking in the essential vitamins and minerals needed to keep us healthy on a daily basis. Very few of us actually consume the recommended seven servings of fruit and vegetables each day for maximum nutrition.

Which multivitamin and mineral supplement should I choose?

Nature’s Sunshine has four different multivitamins and minerals to choose from:

SynerPro Multiple Vitamins and Minerals – contains 16 essential vitamins and minerals in the SynerPro base, which is a natural herbal base consisting of dehydrated broccoli, carrot, red beet, rosemary, tomato, turmeric, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, grapefruit and lemon bioflavonoids, and hesperidin. This important combination also contains varying amounts of seven other vitamins and minerals and 100% of the RDA (recommended daily allowance)Take one tablet with a meal twice a day. (Stock No. 1644 - £8.93 for 60).

Super Supplemental Vitamins and Minerals – is a uniquely designed nutritional formula of 23 important vitamins and minerals in a base of herbs, vegetable powders and phytonutrients. This blend increases absorption and assimilation and is the key to setting Super Supplemental apart from the average multi-vitamin. It also contains Barley Grass Juice, which is a source of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is a potent antioxidant. Many users report experiencing a significant increase in energy levels and endurance over other multi-vitamin supplements. Take two a day with meals. (Stock No.1817 - £12.60 for 120).

TNT – this is a great one for the kids or if you have difficulty swallowing tablets because it’s a drink and it contains fibre! It also comes in handy individual sachets that are ideal for taking away with you on holiday. (Stock No. 4300 - £13.99. Sachet:  Stock No.4301 - £1.20).

Mega-Chel – as well as being the key product for the circulatory system, Mega-Chel also serves as a brilliant multivitamin and chelated mineral supplement for the over forties by just taking two a day. It contains – wait for it – 31 nutrients. Imagine having to buy all those from a health food shop! (Stock No. 1821 - £25.99 for 180).

DO YOU HAVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL?

The cholesterol story began in 1951 when it was discovered that a waxy substance in the blood - cholesterol - was a major contributor to the build-up of plaque and to heart disease risk. There are two different kinds of cholesterol - low-density lipoproteins (LDL), which increase the risk of
heart attack, and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which actually reduce the risk.

 
Increase your fibre!

All plant fibres can lower cholesterol. This means eating a diet that includes lots of fruit, vegetables and whole grains and a minimum of fats. Taking a fibre supplement will help to lower your cholesterol.

LoClo is an excellent fibre supplement and contains five different kinds of fibre. You can take this on its own mixed with apple juice or water or even mix it with your SynerProtein for a filling and nutritious breakfast.

One of the new products, TNT, which I mentioned in my last Newsletter, contains even more fibre and has a delicious orange flavour. This can be taken on its own or again mixed with the SynerProtein to make a complete food which can be used as a meal replacement if you are trying to lose weight or have a tendency to skip meals.

Nature's Sunshine has now introduced a new product called Cholester-Reg. In an eight-week study of Cholester-Reg it was showed to help clinically control blood cholesterol levels in 52% of the participants. Another 27.5% found
that it was highly effective in controlling cholesterol levels. Only 6.8% found the extract was not effective in controlling blood cholesterol levels.

For high cholesterol it is recommended that you take Cholester-Reg along with Mega Chel and High Potency Garlic and include one of the fibre drinks in your diet. Try and check your cholesterol level with your doctor before
starting on Cholester-Reg so that you can monitor your progress. Make an appointment with your doctor for very early in the morning and don't eat anything before your appointment. Ask your doctor to test for levels of HDL
and LDL cholesterol and your triglycerides (level of fat stores). An overall reading of cholesterol will not give you the true picture, as HDL cholesterol is good cholesterol.

Brian Jacques, who recently ran a workshop in Kent, told us that his cholesterol went down from 6.8 to 4.4 as a result of taking Cholester-Reg. He said ‘I love eating desserts and now feel safe to eat them occasionally having successfully lowered my cholesterol.’ So why not give it a try and watch the results!

YOUR LETTERS

Many thanks for your letters and testimonials – keep sending them to me!

For many years I have suffered from circulation problems, particularly with one hand, which frequently goes numb and at night goes completely dead. This had been getting worse and it was quite alarming to wake up with no feeling in your hand.

Since coming in contact with Nature’s Sunshine Products I have been using Mega-Chel and found it to be really effective. The numbness has disappeared and only re-appears when I forget to take Mega-Chel. The product contains 31 ingredients and, because of its combination, it’s cheaper than buying a whole host of individual products.

I now make sure I have a constant supply in the house so I don’t miss out on its wonderful benefits. My husband also takes Mega-Chel to control his cholesterol problem as it helps to remove fatty deposits from the arterial walls.
