Issue 28                                                                                                             May/June 2002

My sister and I recently had a Nature's Sunshine stand at the Natural Health Show in Cardiff. On the Sunday we gave a talk on how to balance hormones in order to alleviate conditions like PMS, painful periods, heavy periods and menopausal symptoms. During that weekend we spoke to many people who had health problems, some quite severe, and who were looking for the solution to improve their health using alternative treatments. This reinforced in me once again the importance of taking preventive measures as a health insurance. It's interesting to note that most people insure their homes, house contents and cars but don't think about insuring their health. It's much easier to prevent something from happening than to cure a chronic illness that has taken years to develop.

I often talk to people about general nutrition and I thought it was a good time to include it in my Newsletter. General nutrition is about insuring your health on a daily basis. A healthy diet including fresh fruit and vegetables together with whole grains, nuts and seeds is good start. When you sit down to eat, look at the food and ask this question. Will this food improve and promote my health and well-being, or will it harm it? It makes sense to improve your diet at the same time as using the following food supplements to fill any gaps you may have.

If anyone would like a copy of the hormone balancing diet please send me a stamped addressed envelope and I'll send you the fact sheet.

GENERAL NUTRITION                                  Your Insurance to Good Health
With so many different herbs and supplements available the question naturally arises, where do I begin? Nature's Sunshine has an ABC and D approach to keep it simple.

A stands for activation and the most important supplements for activating are enzymes as they act as the ‘spark plugs’ of the life process and help the digestion of food. The older we get the less enzymes we have which also contributes to the aging process. The major plant enzymes are found in the product Proactazyme       Stock No: 1643       Price: £13.90

B stands for building, as the body needs nutrients to stay healthy. Many of the nutrients we need have been removed or depleted during the refining and processing of foods we eat. Most people are better off supplementing their diets with extra nutrients on a regular basis.

C stands for cleansing. It's a good idea to start your programme with a cleanse to get rid of any old waste material that is clogging your system and causing ill health. Nature's Sunshine has a Chinese Tiao He Cleanse, an effective 10-day cleansing programme containing herbs that aid elimination through the bowels, liver and kidneys. Stock No: 4000    Price: £16.45                

There is also the Chinese Para Cleanse, which is designed to eliminate parasites as well as open the eliminative channels.         Stock No: 4020     Price: £12.50
It is recommended that you do a cleanse every six months.

D stands for direct aid. These are specific herbs and nutrients that strengthen or balance specific body systems. Complete a Lifestyle Analysis and determine your weakest system. Take the recommended product for that system for three months to strengthen the system. Then, as the first system shows improvement, move onto the next one.

NUTRITIONAL PROGRAMME - DAILY REQUIREMENTS
It makes sense to improve your diet as well as using the following food supplements to fill any gaps you may have.

SYNERPROTEIN. Protein is essential for life and is amongst the most important nutrients in the maintenance of health and vitality. Protein is of critical importance for the formation and growth of all body tissues, particularly hair, skin, nails, muscles and internal organs, including the
brain and heart. Protein is also necessary for the production of hormones associated with healthy growth. I have SynerProtein for my breakfast every morning blended with fruit and water. You can also mix it with skimmed milk
or fruit juice. SynerProtein is made from quality soya protein and it is fat-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, yeast-free and gluten-free, and it contains the 9 essential amino acids.               Stock No: 2914 (original)       Price: £10.10                                      Stock No: 2905 (chocolate)    Price: £10.35

ANTIOXIDANT ARSENAL. We are bombarded with free radicals every day and if they are not controlled they can damage the body's cells and accelerate the processes of disease and aging. The antioxidants will scavenge for free
radicals and neutralise them, preventing them from harming the body. The Antioxidant Arsenal contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E with Selenium, Beta Carotene, Zinc and Grapine. Stock No: 4033    Price: £21.50

MULTI-VITAMINS AND MINERALS. Many studies have confirmed that better health and lower instances of cancer occur in individuals who maintain a healthy diet and intake of multi-vitamins and mineral supplements. Nature's Sunshine provides you with a choice of multi-vitamin and mineral supplements:                                                              

i) SynerPro Multiple Vitamins & Minerals provides 100% of the UK RDA for 16 vitamins and minerals in a base of cruciferous vegetables and herb blend.                              Stock No: 1644     Price: £8.95 (60)

ii) Super Supplemental Vitamins and Minerals is excellent for the more active person and the full range of vitamins and minerals are in a base of choline, inositol, PABA, alfalfa, asparagus, barley grass, broccoli powder, cabbage powder, lemon bioflavonoids, rose hips, wheat germ and kelp.       Stock No: 1817     Price: £12.75 (120)

iii) Mega Chel is a powerful vitamin and mineral supplement and is also the key product for the circulatory system. In addition to a large array of vitamins and chelated minerals it contains herbs, which assist the circulation such as ginkgo biloba, hawthorn berries, CoQ10 and inositol.                  Stock No: 1821      Price: £25.95 (180)

iv) Nature's Prenatal is a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement specially formulated for pregnant and lactating women with 800 mcg of folic acid in addition to a balanced combination of vitamins and minerals. It is also a good idea to take this product if you are trying to conceive because of the folic acid content. Stock No: 4917    Price: £18.90

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS. These are obtained from fish oil or the oil from seeds such as sunflower, sesame, pumpkin or linseed. These fatty acids are essential for our health and studies have shown that most people are deficient in Omega 3 oil, which can only be found in cold-water fish such as halibut, salmon, mackerel, tuna, herrings and sardines, or in linseeds. If oily fish is not eaten at least four times a week, or if ground linseeds are not eaten on a daily basis then it is a good idea to add the Omega 3 fish oil or the Flax seed oil to your diet. Symptoms of oil deficiency are dry skin, water retention, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, difficulty losing weight, arthritis, kidney malfunction, allergies, infertility, miscarriages, dry eyes, eczema. The oil needs to be from the flesh of the fish and not the liver as the liver is not only a toxic organ but it also contains high levels of Vitamin A and Vitamin D which can be toxic in concentrated forms. This is reason enough to avoid cod liver oil supplements. Nature's Sunshine provides a clean source of Omega 3 oil taken from the flesh of salmon and mackerel and not the liver. It is also kept fresh as the capsules contain a natural source of Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol).                                     Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules  Stock No: 1609    Price: £11.40                                      Flax Seed Oil capsules         Stock No: 1770    Price: £12.75

I take the SynerProtein, Antioxidant Arsenal, Mega Chel and Omega 3 Fish Oil every day in addition to a healthy diet to ensure that I have a good standard of health. I hope this information has been useful to you and feel free to ask me for any advice about your health. If you would like to arrange an appointment I will put together a Personalised Health Programme for you for a small fee of £5, which will include your daily dietary requirements together with any direct aids to address a particular problem. Detailed fact sheets are also available on any of the Nature's Sunshine products if you
send a stamped addressed envelope to me with your request.
