I hope you had a great Christmas and managed to escape the dreaded flu! The New Year is synonymous with resolutions - what would January be like without being determined to either give up eating chocolates, stop smoking, lose weight or to start eating more healthily? So I thought I’d dedicate this Newsletter to help you succeed in your New Year’s resolution – provided it’s one of the above! The first thing anyone should do following the Christmas festivities is to cleanse the body of toxins. That’s why I’m about to start my Chinese Tiao He Cleanse. Not only does it cleanse the liver, kidneys and colon but also shifts a few pounds so is ideal as a starting point for a diet. It makes you think about eating more healthily as well, gives you more energy, and makes you drink more water…so it has lots of benefits. I think the secret to losing weight is not just cutting down the daily intake of food but to eat the right food. It’s no good following these faddy diets where you may lose weight very quickly but then just as quickly put it all back on again. Changing your diet should be enjoyable and for life because it’s not just about losing weight. If you’d like advice on a healthy diet then give me a call and I’ll be pleased to help. Giving up smoking is difficult, but not impossible. First of all you must want to stop smoking. New statistics reveal that lung cancer has taken over breast cancer as the most deadly form of the disease for women, and 90% of lung cancers are caused by smoking. Did you know that over 100,000 people die prematurely in the UK because of smoking? Smokers also have more wrinkles than non-smokers and therefore Omega-3 oils and Vitamin E will improve the condition of the skin. Antioxidants are also essential, including Vitamin C since 75 mg are lost with each cigarette. To help with quitting take the combination of Lobelia and St John’s Wort (stock code 1015 price £15.95)– Lobelia contains lobeline, which is chemically similar to nicotine but non-addictive and helps nourish the respiratory system, while St John’s Wort helps with the stress of giving up smoking.

Now is the Time to Improve Your Diet… and Lose Weight the Natural Way Not long ago I attended a lecture organised by Nature’s Sunshine and given by the world’s leading authority on pharmacognosy and phytochemical herbalism, Dr Alvin Segelman. At this lecture he enthused about the glycaemic index of foods (details of which are contained in a fascinating book called The Glucose Revolution and available from NSP) and how he has personally used this information along with a weight management programme to successfully reduce and maintain his own body weight. Dr Segelman recommends that to lose weight you should: · begin your programme with the Chinese Tiao He Cleanse · ensure that you consume daily a low fat vegetable protein such as the SynerProtein energy drink · eat low glycaemic carbohydrates · exercise regularly · include SynerSlim as part of your weight management regime. So let’s go through each one to find out more… The Tiao He Cleanse is the ideal start to a weight loss programme and has been specifically designed to help cleanse the digestive and intestinal systems of the body, combining Chinese and Western herbs, and to prepare them for improved absorption of nutrients. These herbs absorb toxins from the bowel, improve elimination, detoxify the kidneys and liver, purify the blood, and cleanse the entire body of cellular wastes. And when you think that one pound of waste can be accumulated for every ten years of your life, then there could be quite a bit to shift! This cleanse is also highly recommended for anyone beginning a herbal supplement programme, is beneficial for acne, allergies, constipation, fatigue, headaches, menstrual problems, or just to give your body a general ‘spring clean’. A more detailed fact sheet is available on request. Chinese Tiao He Cleanse Stock No: 4000 Price: £16.45 SynerProtein, otherwise known as ‘the energy drink’, is a dairy-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, yeast-free and fat-free high protein drink mix using quality GM-free soy protein, providing all eight amino acids, and enriched with essential vitamins and minerals. It also contains a blend of cruciferous vegetables and herbs which provides antioxidant protection |

SynerProtein cont’d. against free-radical damage to the body. When you look in the mirror all you see is protein – your hair, your skin, your nails, your muscles – all need protein. In fact, protein is among the most important nutrients in the maintenance of health and vitality and is of critical importance to the formation and growth of the above body tissues as well as internal organs including the brain and heart. Protein is necessary for the production of hormones associated with healthy growth and metabolic rate; the production of antibodies, enzymes, breast milk and blood cells; a source of fuel for the body, generating energy and heat. In adults, protein deficiency can cause a loss of energy and stamina, impaired healing of wounds, mental depression, weakened immunity, and slowed recovery from illness. A team of scientists at the University of Illinois has learned in a new study that ‘Soya protein in amounts as small as twenty grams a day can reduce cholesterol and help prevent coronary heart disease.’ Soya protein is essential to our daily diets and its benefits have been noted by many research studies stating that soya protein reduces… · cholesterol and triglycerides · the risk of cardiac disease · tooth decay · the risk of cancer of colon, pancreas and stomach. Every morning I have a glass of SynerProtein
mixed with the high-fibre multi-vitamin and mineral product TNT and I
not only find that it gives me the energy to get through a busy day at work,
but also gets rid of those mid-afternoon cravings for something sweet like
chocolate or biscuits because it helps to balance blood sugar levels. I
wouldn’t be without it! SynerProtein (Original) Stock No: 2914

Price: £10.35 How to eat low glycaemic carbohydrates is detailed in the book entitled The Glucose Revolution and explains that the reason some of us are overweight is not too many calories, but too much insulin. Insulin is 30 times more effective at turning extra calories into fat instead of muscle and energy. During sleep it blocks the human growth hormone, or HGH, and leads to hypoglycaemia which in turn results in poor sleep and then waking after just a few hours feeling groggy and with a headache. Worst of all, increasing too much insulin leads to a lowering of glucagon, a hormone produced by the pancreas gland responsible for converting the body’s fat stores into energy. High levels of glucagon allows for more oxygen to burn fat instead of glucose for energy and helps to maintain stable sugar levels. In this book, foods have been given a glycaemic index (GI) and by eating foods with low GIs means the body will produce less insulin and more glucagon.

To exercise regularly doesn’t mean having to rush out and join your local gym! The secret is to find the form of exercise that’s right for you and which you enjoy. These days there’s an abundance of fitness classes in health clubs and leisure centres including aerobics and aqua aerobics, yoga, pilates, strength training, boxercise – the list is endless. You could try swimming, or walking instead of taking the car for that short journey. But make sure you enjoy it, or you’ll never go again! SynerSlim is a weight-loss programme specially designed to bring you a combination of five ephedrine-free products that support your body’s ability to lose weight. The benefits are: · safely increases your metabolism without ephedra or caffeine · helps eliminate fat from your system before it can be stored · increases your body’s microcirculation, mobilising the fat stored in cellulite areas · slows your body’s ability to store fat · may lower your body’s weight set point – this is the weight your body has accepted as normal. SynerSlim is a natural weight-loss programme, which attacks fat from five different angles, giving you every opportunity to succeed.

Fat Grabbers helps remove fat and cholesterol from the body by emulsifying dietary fat and trapping fat molecule, which are then eliminated through the intestinal tract.
