Healthy and Beautiful in a Shaklee Way
Healthy and beautiful in a Shaklee way.
Being healthy and feeling good requires some attention. Establishing good habits keeps us focused on our goals. The health statistics today are increasingly alarming. The number of people diagnosed with asthma grew by 4.3 million from 2001 to 2009. 4 of the top 10 causes of death are chronic diseases with well established links to diet: Coronary heart disease, Diabetes, Cancer ands stroke. Over the past 11 years as I have integrated Shaklee into my life as well as my family’s lives, I have seen the shift towards a healthy and beautiful way of life. We have established our own trends in our family to lean towards health. Here are 10 that we follow in our household.
1. Make protein part of each breakfast. Eggs, protein shakes and smoothies. I like the Cinch shakes for myself and the meal shakes for the younger kids. Beginning the day with a lean form of protein fills you up and helps you feel energized through out the day. These products have a low glycemic index and provide an excellent source of protein and vitamins.
2. Reduce refined sugars: it has been widely documented that the amount of refined sugar in ones diet contributes to an immune systems that operates at less than optimum levels. Add the damaging effect on the teeth we want to make an attempt to decrease our intake. Keeping the white flours and sugars our of out diet is a good habit to work towards.
3. Change to natural peanut butter. Peanut butter should be just peanuts ground up. Chose one with less hydrogenated oil and no sugar. I like Trader Joes the best. It is smooth and doesn’t require the stirring to incorporate the oil .It works well when making peanut butter protein balls.
4. Eat fruits and vegetables every day. Buy organic when possible. Fruits and vegetables contain vital nutrients to help the body fight chronic disease. Think of eating the colors of the rainbow.
5. Use a high quality, pharmaceutical grade food supplements to fill in the gaps where out diets fall short. Vitalizer contains 80 bio-optimized nutrients that have been clinically proven to help those who take it live a longer and healthier life. I like the convenience of the blister strip pac. It takes the guessing out of what we need each day.
6. Change to a non-toxic, biodegradable home cleaning products. Those should include laundry, dishes and general cleaning. More and more research points to the dangers of household cleaners on the respiratory system, endocrine and adrenals. Over 3 million poisonings are reported every year while household cleaners are reported to be the number one cause of poisoning in children. As we changed our cleaning supplies to the Get Clean line, our allergies and skin irritations went away.
7. Get good clean water. We use a water pitcher for our fridge that filters our lead as well as other harmful chemicals and chlorine. Delicious tasting and we like that we are not adding more and more water bottles to the landfills each year.
8. Filter your air. There are many options out there for an air filtration system. Shaklee used to carry a great product called Air Source. That is what we use in out home. It is no longer available from Shaklee but I encourage you to investigate and find a system to clean your air of all 3 forms of air pollution.
9. Exercise Daily!: Run, walk, yoga, swim, bike. Get up and move. Our children have each found a sport they love. But each day we limit the TV time and encourage activity. Practice good exercise habits and your children will follow you. As my husband and I love running, now some of our kids are joining us on the weekends at the local running races.
10. Get enough sleep: So important to the way you feel and look but also for a healthy immune system. Establishing a pattern of what you do before sleep is important. On the rare occasions where sleep is difficult, we reach for Gentle sleep complex to calm the mind and ease us into sleep.
There are many more good habits that you can take on but I have found these ten to help us stay feeling good each and every day. Sometimes you don’t know how much better your can feel until you get there. Start today. Little by little make some changes. By establishing some good habits you will find that you and those you love are more healthy and beautiful every day.
