Gwyneth Paltrow Helps Shaklee Japan

2011-04-16T09:54:00.001-04:00

How can a cookbook written by an Academy Award winning actress help people in Japan to recover from one of the worst natural disasters in history?

Here's how. Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow learned about the Shaklee Family and our values, and about Shaklee Cares and its mission of providing aid following a natural disaster like the one in Japan. She was impressed with the way that the Shaklee Family organizes around helping others, and she wanted to participate.

Shaklee Cares is pleased to announce that part of the proceeds from purchases of Gwyneth Paltrow?s book, My Father's Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness, will benefit the Shaklee Cares for Japan Earthquake Relief effort.

Laws in 17 States Limit Phosphates in Automatic Dishwasher Cleaning Agents

2010-09-24T10:04:00.003-04:00

When Shaklee first launched their patented, phosphate-free Basic-D® in 1991, they were way ahead of the trend in making available a high performing phosphate-free automatic dishwash concentrate. It wasn't until 1994 that phosphates in laundry detergents were restricted nationwide, but until recently, automatic dishwasher detergent manufacturers could include phosphates without concern for environmental regulations prohibiting or limiting the use of phosphates. There simply weren't any.

Well, that time appears to be coming to an end. As of this year, 17 states have enacted laws regarding phosphates in automatic dishwasher cleaners, 15 of them in 2010 alone.

Why the concern about phosphates? Phosphates in bodies of fresh water like lakes, streams, rivers, and creeks, act as a nutrient to organisms like algae, encouraging their growth to an extent that they can harm or threaten plant and fish life.

It's important to know that Shaklee Get Clean® products do not contain phosphates, and never will. And for those who are concerned about performance, Shaklee Get Clean Automatic Dish Wash Concentrate is a patented, highly concentrated, phosphate-free automatic dishwash cleanser, backed by the 100% Shaklee Satisfaction Guarantee, and selected as a 2008 recipient of the PTPA (Parent Tested Parent Approved) seal of approval. Its enzyme-activated formula removes tough stains without prerinsing, dissolving quickly and completely, without residue.

Here are the 17 states in which phosphates in dishwash detergents are now regulated. Is your state one of them?

Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Vermont, Virginia

And even if your state isn't among these, shouldn't everyone you know be using a phosphate-free dishwash concentrate?

Grape seeds and Alzheimers Disease by Steve Chaney

2010-06-16T15:18:00.004-04:00

This post has some great information on research preventing Alzheimers Disease.

For this week's topic I am continuing with the theme of
preventing dementia - not that the professor is getting
any more absent minded!

I came across some fascinating research this past week
about the role of polyphenols extracted from grape
seeds in preventing Alzheimers Disease.

But first some background information:

Alzheimers Disease is thought to be caused by the
accumulation of an abnormal protein called amyloid-beta
or Abeta in the brain. This protein forms large
aggregates that result in the formation of what are
called amyloid plaques in the brain, and it is these
amyloid plaques that are thought to be the direct cause
of the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimers.

The best model system currently available for testing
approaches to preventing or treating Alzheimers Disease
is a strain of mice that have been genetically
engineered to produce large amounts of the Abeta protein
- the so-called Alzheimers Disease or AD mouse.

Now to the experiments:

A research team lead by Dr. Giulio Maria Pasinetti have
asked whether the polyphenols obtained from two
different grape seed extracts reduce amyloid plaque
formation in these genetically engineered AD mice (J.
Wang et al, J. Neurosci., 28: 6388-6392, 2008; L. Ho et
al., J. Alzheimers Disease, 16: 59-72, 2009).

They looked at polyphenol-containing grape seed
extracts from Vitis vinifera (the grapes used to make
red wine) and from Vitis muscadinia (muscadine grapes).

Both decreased the formation of amyloid plaques in AD
mice, but they acted by two different mechanisms.

The grape seed extract from red wine grapes decreased
the formation of Abeta protein, while the grape seed
extract from muscadine grapes prevented the aggregation
of the Abeta protein into amyloid plaques.

Dr. Pasinetti concluded: "Collectively, our
observations suggest that the distinctly different
polyphenolic compounds from red wines may beneficially
modulate Alzheimer Disease phenotypes through multiple
Abeta-related mechanisms. Results from our study
suggest the possibility of developing a 'combination'
of dietary polyphenolic compounds for Alzheimers
Disease prevention and/or therapy by modulating
multiple Abeta-related mechanisms"

It is important to keep in mind that these are animal
studies and need to be replicated by human clinical
trials, but they do suggest that polyphenol extracts
obtained from both red wine grapes and muscadine grapes
may have some unique health benefits.

Stay tuned. I'll keep you informed as this research
story unfolds.

To Your Health!

Are all Omega3 supplements contaminated?

2010-03-08T14:56:00.001-05:00

I can't end the week, without commenting about Omega3 in the news. There was a lawsuit filed against a number of brands (not Shaklee) that raised some concerns, brands that used cod liver oil.

There are NO safety issues Shaklee's OmegaGuard. We use pharmaceutical grade fish oil, we use a molecular distillation process to remove contaminants like dioxins, mercury and PCB's.

Here's the rest of the scoop. Shaklee's fish oil comes from highly purified whole fish --not from the liver of cod or shark (which the brands in the lawsuit used) which tend to accumulate these harmful compounds. Shaklee helped create a monograph to establish the standard for quality and purity, including defining the ...limits for contaminants including dioxin, PCB's, lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium. Yeah !!

The Benefits of Weight Loss by Dr. Steve Chaney

2010-01-02T14:59:00.002-05:00

The clock is ticking down to another new year. And with the new year will come a new set of new year's resolutions! And, of course, top on many people's list will be the perennial favorite - weight loss. So I plan to count down to the new year with some of the latest research on the benefits of weight loss and how to achieve it.

With 2/3 of Americans now overweight or obese,weight loss is a new year's resolution that should be on most people's list.But many Americans remain unpersuaded that it is worth the effort. Sure, weight loss will reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes down the road, but many people want to know: "Will it do something for me NOW?"

A recent study published in the American Journal of Physiology (Preordain et al., American Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 294:H1174-1182, 2008) shows that the answer is YES! You can improve the way that your heart functions and,therefore, how you feel right now just by losing 12% of your weight. In fact, when you look at the results of the study it is safe to say that you can give yourself a more youthful heart just by losing weight. And it doesn't matter whether you loose the weight by eating less or exercising more - although you will get the best results if you do both.

Now let me describe the study to you. The study participants were healthy, nonsmokers between ages 50 and 60 and ranged from a little overweight to very overweight (BMIs of 23.5 to 30), but did not qualify as obese (BMI of over 30).This is significant because all previous studies had been done with subjects who were morbidly obese. It was important to know if weight loss was also immediately beneficial for people who were just a little overweight. None of the participants had diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke, hypertension, cancer or lung disease. Before enrolling in the study, all were relatively sedentary. They exercised less than 20 minutes a day or twice a week - which is typical for most Americans.

The participants also were consuming the standard American diet or SAD (It is no coincidence that SAD rhymes with BAD). Half of the participants were in the calorie restriction group, in which they reduced the amount of calories they ate between 12 percent and 15 percent. Their physical activity did not change. The other half of the participants were in the exercise group and increased their exercise to burn the caloric equivalent of the other group's caloric reduction. The exercise group exercised about six days a week for an hour each session walking, running, cycling or doing elliptical training. Their diet and caloric intake did not change.

Over a period of one year, both groups reduced their weight and their BMI by an average of 12%. The doctors conducting the study determined the participant's heart function before and after the weight loss period by measuring the time for participants' hearts to relax and fill with blood during the heart's filling phase (called diastole).

While this test may seem a bit exotic, it is actually a very good measure of heart function. You see, as we age the arteries and heart muscle stiffen, and the heart doesn't relax as well after contracting. Now most of us think of aging as something that we can't do anything about. But, what this study showed was that for all of the participants who lost weight their hearts responded to this weight loss by gaining the ability to relax more quickly, recovering some of the elasticity characteristic of younger heart tissue. You heard that right. Their hearts actually became younger. And because their hearts were working more efficiently, it is probably safe to say that many of them felt better as well.

So as you contemplate your new year's resolutions you now know that weight loss will give you a younger heart, which will probably mean that you will feel better - have more energy and vitality. And you won't have to wait 20 years for that benefit to be apparent. It will be immediate! To Your Health!

The Truth about Vitamin E and Heart Disease Risk in Women

2009-09-29T15:46:00.003-04:00

This week I'm going to share some information from a recent seminar by Dr. Jeffrey Blumberg of Tufts University. But first let me tell you who Dr. Blumberg is. Dr. Blumberg is a Professor in the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, which is part of the JeanMayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center On Aging at Tufts. Dr. Blumberg has over 200 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. He is considered one of the world's top experts on supplementation. And he is on Shaklee's Scientific Advisory Board.

Now back to what I learned at his seminar. Dr. Blumberg's specialty is conducting and analyzing clinical studies, and his perspective on some recent clinical studies is a bit different from what you may have heard from media reports. Over the next several weeks I will be talking about how he believes that the media has seriously misinterpreted several recent studies.

You might call this topic "The Rest Of The Story" because you (and your doctor) definitely did not hear this part of the story in the news. Let's start with vitamin E and the risk ofcardiovascular disease in women. In 2005 the results of the Women's Health Study were published (Lee et al., JAMA, 294:56-65, 2005). This was a major study in which 39,876 women were given either 600 IU of vitamin E every other day or a placebo and followed for 10 years.

The headlines said "Vitamin E Supplements Do Not Reduce Risk Of Cardiovascular Death, Heart Attack And Stroke In Women" That was true if you looked at the total population of women in the study. But Dr. Blumberg pointed out that when you looked at women who were 65 or older in that study vitamin E supplementation caused a:- 24% decrease in cardiovascular deaths- 26% decrease in major cardiovascular events- 21% decrease in venous thromboembolism (blood clots forming in the veins).- and all of these decreases were statistically significant.

That's important because the risk of heart disease in pre-menopausal women is extremely low. It's the over 65 group who have a high risk of heart disease. A subsequent study called the "Women's Antioxidant Cardiovascular Study" looked at the effect of 600 IU of vitamin E every other day on cardiovascular events in 8171 women health professionals (Cook et al, Archives of Internal Medicine, 167:1610-1618, 2007). Once again the headlines said that vitamin E supplementation had no effect on cardiovascular events. But, when the authors looked at those women who already had cardiovascular disease at the beginning of the study (and were, therefore, at high risk of suffering a cardiovascular event during the study) vitamin E supplementation caused a 23% decreased risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular death.

So what the headlines from both studies should have said was: "Vitamin E reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular deaths in those women at high risk of heart attacks". But, of course, they didn't. Perhaps that doesn't sell enough papers.

Is Taking An Aspirin a Day Good For Your Health?

2009-09-23T10:05:00.006-04:00

Another popular myth has been busted! I'm sure that you have heard this one before. Many doctors advise their patients to take a baby aspirin every day to reduce their risk of heart attack. And this recommendation has been repeated so often in the media and in self-help books and web sites that even more people are taking an aspirin every day without even waiting for their doctor to recommend it. Is this good advice?

Probably not, accordingly to a new study done by Dr.Gerry Fowlkes of the Wolfson Unit for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Edinburgh Scotland. In a study that he presented at the most recent meeting of the European Society for Cardiology in BarcelonaSpain he and his colleagues followed 3,000 men at very high risk for developing heart disease for an average of eight years. Half of the group was randomly assigned to take an aspirin every day and the other half was given a placebo.

At the end of eight years there was no difference in the rate of heart attacks or stroke - or risk of death from any cause - between the two groups. In other words, an aspirin a day did not decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke and had no discernable health benefits in this study. Even worse, there were 34 major bleeds in people taking the aspirin compared to only 20 in people taking the placebo. And if you looked at internal bleeding that was so serious that it required hospitalization, the risk was almost double for the aspirin users compared to the placebo users.

The conclusion of this study was that for otherwise healthy people the risks of taking aspirin outweigh the benefits.The scientists cautioned that for people who have already had a heart attack, the benefits of taking an aspirin a day might outweigh the risks. But I would encourage you to investigate natural alternates rather than relying on a drug to reduce your risk of heart disease. For example several recent clinical studies have shown that as little as 500 mg/day of omega-3 fatty acids,whether from fish or from supplements, can reduce the risk of a second heart attack in someone who has already had one heart attack by 30-40%. And, of course, the Landmark study http://www.landmarkstudy.com/ showed that people who have used the Shaklee supplements for 20 years or more have 1/3 the incidence of angina, heart attack,stroke or congestive heart failure as do people using other company's multivitamins or no supplements at all.

Striving to Have a "Healthy Internet Presence"

2009-04-04T10:14:00.003-04:00

For some time now I have been aware that the internet is "the way to go"; and since I have an internet business, I knew that I should take steps to be more visible...something I have been reluctant to do. I did start a blog (this one) but never added new posts. I did join LinkedIn on the advice of a friend, but never finished my profile! Everything seemed just too cumbersome and time consuming...I was looking for something quick and simple.

Then I found Twitter..signed up...got hooked. That prompted me to finish my profile on LinkedIn, update my blog and even join FaceBook! I have even taken part in a few webinars and conference calls on the value of the internet for growing your business...but now I am really confused!! Even though I am enjoying my social media experience, I am not really sure how it can help me in my business. It seems I should be developing relationships..but definitely NOT promoting my business or product!

I guess my new job is to discover how this is all going to work. For now, I am just happy to feel connected, productive and happy contributing in some way over the internet. I hope I can help people in some way...with encouragement and useful information...and perhaps at some point, even show them how they can feel better, live longer, save money and experience the freedom of being your own boss and having more time to do the things you love to do.

The Accidental NetWork Marketer

2009-03-28T10:40:00.001-04:00

I was walking the beach early this morning with my husband when I began thinking about how I happened to get into NetWork Marketing. Back then I just knew I loved the products. How could a very shy, quiet, introverted person like me end up in a "people" business??!! Well, I can tell you this, it wasn't planned. I found products that I loved, that worked for me and for others, that I was proud of and felt obligated to share with others..and then we started going to local meetings for more information about those products and because we like being around those positive, upbeat people.

When we needed more income and a new car, we thought that maybe I could just talk to more people about these products. I did that, became a sales leaders, earned a car and free trip to San Francisco...but I still didn't tell anyone about the business!!! I did learn to speak at meetings..my love of the products helped me overcome my shyness and nervousness. But it was only after I earned a free trip to Hawaii that I realized what a great business opportunity this was...and that I should be telling others about it....especially after my husband, who is a CPA, said that I was making more money in my little part-time business than many of his tax clients made working full time!

Time to share the business!, which is what I do now. I certainly am not a role model for how to build a network marketing business, but I hope I am an encouragement to others. My business was built accidentally and sometimes reluctantly...but I never quit, and when something didn't work out, I just shifted gears and went in another direction. I was never one to set goals and always worked the business very sporadically, and always part-time..but looking at what I have been able to achieve, I know that if someone comes in and has a vision, sets goals, makes a plan and works that plan consistently..they can achieve so much more than I have...and that makes me very excited about sharing this opportunity to do well by doing good, to be involved in something meaningful and worthwhile, to help change peoples lives and health for the better. Anyone can do it...and do it so much better and faster than I did!!

Financial Wellness is important too...

I've been thinking a lot lately about how blessed I am to have found such a great, meaningful in-home business...where I can make a difference in people's lives and "do well by doing good".

Feeling younger while growing older

2009-03-25T19:07:00.000-04:00

I think that one of the ways we can feel younger as we age is to exercise. That may be something many of you find hard to do, but it is so important...even more so as we get older. We all know how healthy it is to do at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 days a week , but working out with light weights and muscle toning is also extremely important. Strong muscles mean strong bones and a better metabolism...which slows down as we age if we don't do something to help boost it (like exercise). Personally, I feel so much better.. more energy, more alive...when I take the time to work out with weights. Start small..I have 3,6,8,10 and 12 pound free weights...and use them to work different muscles. Machines are good too, if you have the room. I have a Total Gym, which I love. I think rebounding (on a mini-trampoline) is very good as well...and fun! So try to up your exercise and see how much better you feel!!

Most of us have heard about something called the French paradox, which suggests that even though the French consume a diet high in fat and drink a lot of wine, they have a remarkably low incidence of heart disease, compared with Americans. Most researchers agree that there may be something in the wine that offers protection. Now, even the highly cautious federal guidelines say that moderate consumption of red wine can be beneficial. This substance has been identified by scientists as resveratrol, and it may do more than protect the heart. It could even extend life by preventing a number of age related illnesses. Soon there may be a pill that could give us an extra decade or two of health as we age. This video is about that research...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCBKfqanYX0 The good news is that you don't have to wait for the drug. There is a product now that is all natural and is a revolutionary breakthrough in the fight against cellular aging. One teaspoon a day provides the resveratrol in 100 glasses of red wine and is combined with the super grape to make it 10x more powerful than resveratrol alone in slowing a key mechanism of aging-AGE protein formation. Contact me for information on how you can get started on this safe, all natural, clinically tested product.

Action Leads to Success by Mark Vistor Hansen

Visualization is the most important foundation of success. You first have to figure out what it is that you truly want – love, respect, wealth, etc.
Second, you have to believe that these things are already yours. See yourself as having that loving relationship. Visualize yourself being respected and admired by your peers. Know that you are bringing home a million dollars a year.
Third, you must create a plan to bring these things into your life – one action step at a time.
Wanting, desiring, wishing – these are all important parts of achieving your dreams. But participating in the realization of your dreams by taking action says, "Hey, I believe what I want is possible – so now I'm moving forward to get it!" You are showing that you have decided what you want and deserve, and that you have identified the action steps necessary in attaining your dreams and desires.
In the beginning, taking action may seem a little scary. You'll probably feel butterflies in your stomach when you take that first step. You may even think the fear will stop you, at some point. But think of how you would feel if you never tried. If that doesn't convince you, close your eyes and imagine the overwhelming joy of seeing your dreams realized! There you are – in your new home, or your fulfilling relationship, or getting that promotion!
Don't be surprised when fear shows up before you take action. Greet it with a smile and say, "Hello, I figured you'd probably be showing up." Then turn your back to it and take that step anyway. You will be rewarded for your decisive action.
"Action eradicates fear. No matter what you fear, positive, self-affirming action can diminish or completely cancel that which you are fearful of."
