“I would consider health an EFFECT of health-consciousness, for, if you will keep health implanted deep within your Inner-Consciousness, your thoughts will be directed toward ways and means of improving your health. Nutrition, of course, will be your greatest means of bringing about such an improvement.

“WHAT YOU THINK, YOU DO.”

I trust that your study of [nutrition] will cause you to become health conscious. It’s the logical thing to do, for disease is the death of tissue cells, while health is their life. THE EXPRESSION OF YOUR LIFE FORCE IS HEALTH.“

A secret weapon for health… garlic!

In the world of natural superfoods, garlic stands tall as a nutritional giant. Packed with incredible disease-fighting properties, this ancient remedy has earned its place as one of nature’s most powerful health boosters.

Used for over 6,000 years to enhance dishes across Greece, Spain, Italy, and beyond, garlic is far more than a flavor enhancer. Its health benefits have sparked a resurgence in popularity in the U.S., as science continues to uncover its amazing potential.

Central to garlic’s magic is allicin, the compound responsible for its bold aroma and many of its health properties. But garlic’s secrets run deeper. Shaklee researchers, delving into garlic’s mysteries in 1990, found its true strength lies in a unique blend of over 100 compounds working together to create a true nutritional marvel!

Discover the Shaklee Garlic Complex Difference

♦♦ Preserves the natural allicin-forming com-pounds found in fresh garlic.
♦♦ Protected by ShakleeGuard, a patented anti-oxidant blend with rosemary extract to ensure quality and freshness.
♦♦ Sourced from garlic grown without pesticides.
♦♦ Certified Kosher for added peace of mind.
♦♦ Backed by Shaklee’s 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Why choose Shaklee Garlic Complex?

Shaklee’s unique, odor-controlled formula combines garlic’s unparalleled health benefits with the antioxidant properties of rosemary and spearmint. This premium blend:

♦♦ Maintains healthy blood pressure and cholesterol.
♦♦ Promotes heart health.
♦♦ Supports a balanced microbiome.

Add Shaklee Garlic Complex to your routine and harness garlic’s transformative power for your health!

Love garlic but hate the odor? Here’s the game-changer you’ve been waiting for!

Let’s face it: garlic is a powerhouse of benefits, but its lingering smell? Not so much. Many brands claim to solve the odor issue, but in doing so, they often strip garlic of its health-boosting magic.

Enter Shaklee’s Dual Odor-Control Formula, a breakthrough that gives you all the goodness of garlic without the stinky side effects. Here’s how it works:

The power of precision drying

Shaklee uses a gentle, temperature-controlled process to remove 95% of the water from fresh garlic bulbs. This clever technique halts the enzymatic reaction responsible for garlic’s strong odor while preserving its natural benefits.

Nature’s aromatic duo

To tackle the remaining hint of aroma, Shaklee blends two fragrant herbs… rosemary and spearmint… into the formula. These natural extracts not only neutralize any trace of garlic but also leave Garlic Complex with a fresh, light herbal scent.

Say goodbye to garlic breath and hello to all the health benefits you love. Shaklee’s Garlic Complex is proof that you really can have it all!

“I know that the food which I eat may not always contain all of the nutritional elements necessary for the welfare of my tissue cells, so I supplement my diet with natural and organic protein, vitamin, and mineral tablets. Whenever possible, I demand that my food be in its natural state.

I find time for exercise and recreation. It is my belief that the average person fails to exercise enough to keep his [or her] body free of stagnating waste. If you want to get well and stay well, you MUST free your body of accumulated waste and provide the nutritional elements so necessary to strengthen your resistance against disease and to build vital, vigorous tissue cells. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.“

~ A Study Course in Nutrition by Forrest Shaklee Sr., DC, DD

Are you sitting down? Well… get up!

For centuries, human survival depended on staying active… whether hunting for food, farming crops, or constructing roads and buildings, movement was essential. However, in today’s screen-dominated world, physical activity has sharply declined. This shift to a more stationary lifestyle has given rise to “sedentary disease,” a metabolic syndrome linked to a range of serious health conditions, including a spike in chronic illnesses, obesity, and premature deaths. Research shows that our level of activity… or lack thereof… directly impacts our health. In fact, this more lethargic behavior is quietly fueling some of the deadliest diseases we face. Now health experts globally are ringing the alarm: move more, or face the grim consequences.

But here’s the good news: by recognizing the risks of a sedentary lifestyle and making a commitment to move, you can actively combat disease and disability caused by inactivity.

The health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle…

Do you have any of these conditions?

____ Insulin resistance
____ Type 2 diabetes
____ Colon cancer
____ High blood pressure
____ Osteoporosis
____ Lipid disorder(s)
____ Depression / anxiety
____ Heart disease
____ Obesity
____ Lowered metabolism
____ Stroke
____ Muscle fatigue / degeneration
____ Mental health disorders
____ Sleep issues
____ Increased risk of falling
____ Metabolic syndrome
____ Back & neck pain
____ Cancer
____ Premature death

The risks of being sedentary: What the science shows…

Why have the decrease in activity levels and the increase in sitting time become so important? Because doctors all over the world are seeing a sharp rise in sedentary disease, including chronic medical conditions and early deaths.

Shocking statistics

♦♦ A sedentary lifestyle doubles the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.1

♦♦ Men who spent more than 23 hours a week riding in a car and watching TV combined had a 64% greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.2

♦♦ Physical inactivity accounted for 5.3 million deaths globally in 2008.3

♦♦ An extended period of sedentary behavior increases the risk for diabetes by 112%.4

♦♦ Sitting for more than seven hours a day increases the risk for depression by 47%.5

♦♦ A sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease by 12%.6

Increase in sitting disease

Multiple studies point to the health risks associated with sedentary disease. While chronic medical conditions can be caused by more than one risk factor, sedentary disease plays a major role in developing these conditions.

♦♦ 60-85% of the world’s population have sedentary lifestyles.7

♦♦ Sedentary jobs have increased 83% since 1950.8

♦♦ American adults average 7.7 hours a day being sedentary.9

♦♦ During the Paleolithic era, men averaged between 13,000, and 21,000 steps, and women averaged approximately 11,000 steps per day. In the United States today, men and women average about 5,000 steps per day.10

♦♦ 25% of Americans spend more than eight hours a day sitting.11

How to combat sitting disease

People across the world are spending more time sitting and less time being physically active. However, increasing your physical activity can make a substantial difference in the risk of disease and premature death, which impacts everyone, including our children who are increasingly overweight.

♦♦ Just two minutes of physical activity every hour can lower the risk of premature death by 33%.12

♦♦ Light intensity activity increased life expectancy by three years compared to sedentary individuals.13

♦♦ People who sit for 30 minutes or less at a time have a 55% lower risk of death than those that sit for longer periods.14

So… isn’t it time to start moving? Your journey to better health through exercise begins with just one step!

Exercise

Why you need to… MOVE!

According to the Mayo Clinic we require physical activity on a daily basis in order to help us thrive in a number of different ways.

♦♦ Exercise helps us to control our body weight by burning the calories we consume from our food intake. This can mean either physical exercise or just finding time to move around at a sedentary job.

♦♦ Healthy exercise staves off medical conditions which if left unaddressed can lead to serious long-term issues.

♦♦ Exercise releases chemicals in the brain which actually help improve your mood…. especially beneficial for those in stressful professions.

♦♦ Exercise not only gives you more energy but it also helps you get more restful sleep. Using up your energy during the day helps you be more relaxed in the evening.

♦♦ Physical exercise is a wonderful way to alleviate stress, particularly if you are upset about a situation.

♦♦ Daily exercise decreases inflammatory markers and improves anti-inflammatory compounds in the body.

♦♦ Research has shown that exercise can increase pain tolerance, reduce pain sensitivity, and enhance the quality of life for those who suffer chronic pain.

♦♦ And here’s one benefit you’ve probably never heard of. According to Mohammad Al-Zahrani, DDS, PhD, former associate professor at the University of Case Western Reserve, adults who exercised moderately for 30 minutes 5 or more days a week were 42 percent less likely to develop periodontitis!

How Shaklee can help you move!

What’s keeping you from becoming more physical… more active? Are you so busy you believe you don’t have time? Could it be that you’re unmotivated… even depressed? Are you overweight and/or out of shape? Maybe you just don’t feel good enough to move? Whatever your concerns, Shaklee can help. Here’s how:

Shaklee supplements make you feel better

It’s hard to get off the couch and move when you just don’t feel good. So your first step is to start taking Shaklee supplements… Vita-Lea or Vitalizer and Life Shake. Shaklee guarantees that you’ll feel better in 30 days or your money back!

Shaklee can help you lose weight

If you have excess pounds weighing you down, the Shaklee 180 Turnaround Kit will “lighten your load” with a healthy, sustainable program you’ll love!

Shaklee can help you increase muscle mass and hydration

If you’ve lost the strength of your youth and feel too weak to exercise, Shaklee Performance products can help you build muscle in a healthy way, hydrate you to stimulate cellular activity, increase your stamina and endurance and help you recover from a strenuous workout.

Shaklee can increase your energy

If you just lack the energy to try moving more, Shaklee offers Vita-E Complex to inject your bloodstream with vital oxygen, CorEnergy to enhance stamina and promote sustained vitality, Sustained Energy Boost to provide immediate and long-lasting energy and Performance Energy Chews to give you a clean burst of energy when you need it most.

 

Sustained Energy Boost | The Pick-Me-Up That Keeps You Going

Shaklee supports joint and muscle movement

When your body hurts all over, it’s hard to want to move it even more. That’s where Shaklee can help. OsteoMatrix supports healthy bones so you won’t injure them when exercising. Alfalfa Complex is reported to help those who have pain from arthritis, and Turmeric Boost, OmegaGuard, Vita-D3, Collagen-9 and Pain Relief Complex help you deal with whatever hurts in your body.

Shaklee helps you sleep like a baby

No one feels like exercising when they haven’t had enough sleep. Restless nights or insomnia can interfere with your health in general and any physical activity you might enjoy. To make sure you’re getting enough sleep, here are some tips:

____ Soak in a relaxing bath before bed. It will loosen tight muscles and gently warm your bones.

____ Establish a regular sleep routine and stick to it. Go to bed and rise at the same time each day.

____ Limit caffeine and alcohol in the evening. Both can disturb sleep patterns.

____ Keep your bedroom quiet, cool and dark. Turn off all electronics.

____ Don’t eat late in the evening. Go to bed satisfied… not hungry or too full.

____ Relax and clear your mind before bed. Read a book, listen to music, meditate or pray before retiring.

____ Take sleep-enhancing supplements. Dream Serene, VitalMag, OmegaGuard, Vivix and Zinc Complex will help you get the sleep you need so that you’ll have the energy to move again!

How to avoid sedentary disease

Some people’s lifestyles make it difficult to exercise and avoid long periods in a seated position. However, here are some tips that may be helpful in limiting the time in a seated position which can have a great impact in protecting your health.

____ Get some type of movement every day… ideally walk or play sports. The point is to get up and move.

____ Walk around your house for 5 minutes every 2 hours.

____ Rescue a shelter dog and train it to take YOU on a walk at least twice a day. They need exercise, too!

____ Watch less TV and play fewer video games.

____ Spend time playing outside with your children every day. They’re at risk for sedentary disease and premature death, too. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), from 2017 to March 2020, the prevalence of obesity among U.S. children and adolescents was 19.7%. This means that approximately 14.7 million U.S. youths aged 2–19 years are obese.

____ Try to stand for a few minutes every 30 minutes even if it is just at your desk.

____ If you get a phone call that does not require you to be seated get up and walk around the room while you talk.

____ Use a standing desk at work which allows you to work standing for some of the day.

____ If you cannot get outside to walk, invest in a simple treadmill or mini trampoline so you can exercise at home.

♦♦ A sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease by 12%.6

Increase in sitting disease

Multiple studies point to the health risks associated with sedentary disease. While chronic medical conditions can be caused by more than one risk factor, sedentary disease plays a major role in developing these conditions.

♦♦ 60-85% of the world’s population have sedentary lifestyles.7

♦♦ Sedentary jobs have increased 83% since 1950.8

♦♦ American adults average 7.7 hours a day being sedentary.9

♦♦ During the Paleolithic era, men averaged between 13,000, and 21,000 steps, and women averaged approximately 11,000 steps per day. In the United States today, men and women average about 5,000 steps per day.10

♦♦ 25% of Americans spend more than eight hours a day sitting.11

How to combat sitting disease

People across the world are spending more time sitting and less time being physically active. However, increasing your physical activity can make a substantial difference in the risk of disease and premature death, which impacts everyone, including our children who are increasingly overweight.

♦♦ Just two minutes of physical activity every hour can lower the risk of premature death by 33%.12

♦♦ Light intensity activity increased life expectancy by three years compared to sedentary individuals.13

♦♦ People who sit for 30 minutes or less at a time have a 55% lower risk of death than those that sit for longer periods.14

Exercise

Why you need to… MOVE!

According to the Mayo Clinic we require physical activity on a daily basis in order to help us thrive in a number of different ways.

♦♦ Exercise helps us to control our body weight by burning the calories we consume from our food intake. This can mean either physical exercise or just finding time to move around at a sedentary job.

♦♦ Healthy exercise staves off medical conditions which if left unaddressed can lead to serious long-term issues.

♦♦ Exercise releases chemicals in the brain which actually help improve your mood…. especially beneficial for those in stressful professions.

♦♦ Exercise not only gives you more energy but it also helps you get more restful sleep. Using up your energy during the day helps you be more relaxed in the evening.

♦♦ Physical exercise is a wonderful way to alleviate stress, particularly if you are upset about a situation.

♦♦ Daily exercise decreases inflammatory markers and improves anti-inflammatory compounds in the body.

♦♦ Research has shown that exercise can increase pain tolerance, reduce pain sensitivity, and enhance the quality of life for those who suffer chronic pain.

♦♦ And here’s one benefit you’ve probably never heard of. According to Mohammad Al-Zahrani, DDS, PhD, former associate professor at the University of Case Western Reserve, adults who exercised moderately for 30 minutes 5 or more days a week were 42 percent less likely to develop periodontitis!

How Shaklee can help you move!

What’s keeping you from becoming more physical… more active? Are you so busy you believe you don’t have time? Could it be that you’re unmotivated… even depressed? Are you overweight and/or out of shape? Maybe you just don’t feel good enough to move? Whatever your concerns, Shaklee can help. Here’s how:

Shaklee supplements make you feel better

It’s hard to get off the couch and move when you just don’t feel good. So your first step is to start taking Shaklee supplements… Vita-Lea or Vitalizer and Life Shake. Shaklee guarantees that you’ll feel better in 30 days or your money back!

Shaklee can help you lose weight

If you have excess pounds weighing you down, the Shaklee 180 Turnaround Kit will “lighten your load” with a healthy, sustainable program you’ll love!

Shaklee can help you increase muscle mass and hydration

If you’ve lost the strength of your youth and feel too weak to exercise, Shaklee Performance products can help you build muscle in a healthy way, hydrate you to stimulate cellular activity, increase your stamina and endurance and help you recover from a strenuous workout.

Shaklee can increase your energy

If you just lack the energy to try moving more, Shaklee offers Vita-E Complex to inject your bloodstream with vital oxygen, CorEnergy to enhance stamina and promote sustained vitality, Sustained Energy Boost to provide immediate and long-lasting energy and Performance Energy Chews to give you a clean burst of energy when you need it most.

 

Sustained Energy Boost | The Pick-Me-Up That Keeps You Going

Shaklee supports joint and muscle movement

When your body hurts all over, it’s hard to want to move it even more. That’s where Shaklee can help. OsteoMatrix supports healthy bones so you won’t injure them when exercising. Alfalfa Complex is reported to help those who have pain from arthritis, and Turmeric Boost, OmegaGuard, Vita-D3, Collagen-9 and Pain Relief Complex help you deal with whatever hurts in your body.

Shaklee helps you sleep like a baby

No one feels like exercising when they haven’t had enough sleep. Restless nights or insomnia can interfere with your health in general and any physical activity you might enjoy. To make sure you’re getting enough sleep, here are some tips:

____ Soak in a relaxing bath before bed. It will loosen tight muscles and gently warm your bones.

____ Establish a regular sleep routine and stick to it. Go to bed and rise at the same time each day.

____ Limit caffeine and alcohol in the evening. Both can disturb sleep patterns.

____ Keep your bedroom quiet, cool and dark. Turn off all electronics.

____ Don’t eat late in the evening. Go to bed satisfied… not hungry or too full.

____ Relax and clear your mind before bed. Read a book, listen to music, meditate or pray before retiring.

____ Take sleep-enhancing supplements. Dream Serene, VitalMag, OmegaGuard, Vivix and Zinc Complex will help you get the sleep you need so that you’ll have the energy to move again!

How to avoid sedentary disease

Some people’s lifestyles make it difficult to exercise and avoid long periods in a seated position. However, here are some tips that may be helpful in limiting the time in a seated position which can have a great impact in protecting your health.

____ Get some type of movement every day… ideally walk or play sports. The point is to get up and move.

____ Walk around your house for 5 minutes every 2 hours.

____ Rescue a shelter dog and train it to take YOU on a walk at least twice a day. They need exercise, too!

____ Watch less TV and play fewer video games.

____ Spend time playing outside with your children every day. They’re at risk for sedentary disease and premature death, too. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), from 2017 to March 2020, the prevalence of obesity among U.S. children and adolescents was 19.7%. This means that approximately 14.7 million U.S. youths aged 2–19 years are obese.

____ Try to stand for a few minutes every 30 minutes even if it is just at your desk.

____ If you get a phone call that does not require you to be seated get up and walk around the room while you talk.

____ Use a standing desk at work which allows you to work standing for some of the day.

____ If you cannot get outside to walk, invest in a simple treadmill or mini trampoline so you can exercise at home.

“I know that the food which I eat may not always contain all of the nutritional elements necessary for the welfare of my tissue cells, so I supplement my diet with natural and organic protein, vitamin, and mineral tablets. Whenever possible, I demand that my food be in its natural state.

I find time for exercise and recreation. It is my belief that the average person fails to exercise enough to keep his [or her] body free of stagnating waste. If you want to get well and stay well, you MUST free your body of accumulated waste and provide the nutritional elements so necessary to strengthen your resistance against disease and to build vital, vigorous tissue cells. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.“

~ A Study Course in Nutrition by Forrest Shaklee Sr., DC, DD

Are you sitting down? Well… get up!

For centuries, human survival depended on staying active… whether hunting for food, farming crops, or constructing roads and buildings, movement was essential. However, in today’s screen-dominated world, physical activity has sharply declined. This shift to a more stationary lifestyle has given rise to “sedentary disease,” a metabolic syndrome linked to a range of serious health conditions, including a spike in chronic illnesses, obesity, and premature deaths. Research shows that our level of activity… or lack thereof… directly impacts our health. In fact, this more lethargic behavior is quietly fueling some of the deadliest diseases we face. Now health experts globally are ringing the alarm: move more, or face the grim consequences.

But here’s the good news: by recognizing the risks of a sedentary lifestyle and making a commitment to move, you can actively combat disease and disability caused by inactivity.

The health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle…

Do you have any of these conditions?

____ Insulin resistance
____ Type 2 diabetes
____ Colon cancer
____ High blood pressure
____ Osteoporosis
____ Lipid disorder(s)
____ Depression / anxiety
____ Heart disease
____ Obesity
____ Lowered metabolism
____ Stroke
____ Muscle fatigue / degeneration
____ Mental health disorders
____ Sleep issues
____ Increased risk of falling
____ Metabolic syndrome
____ Back & neck pain
____ Cancer
____ Premature death

The risks of being sedentary: What the science shows…

Why have the decrease in activity levels and the increase in sitting time become so important? Because doctors all over the world are seeing a sharp rise in sedentary disease, including chronic medical conditions and early deaths.

Shocking statistics

♦♦ A sedentary lifestyle doubles the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.1

♦♦ Men who spent more than 23 hours a week riding in a car and watching TV combined had a 64% greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.2

♦♦ Physical inactivity accounted for 5.3 million deaths globally in 2008.3

♦♦ An extended period of sedentary behavior increases the risk for diabetes by 112%.4

♦♦ Sitting for more than seven hours a day increases the risk for depression by 47%.5

How to avoid sedentary disease

Some people’s lifestyles make it difficult to exercise and avoid long periods in a seated position. However, here are some tips that may be helpful in limiting the time in a seated position which can have a great impact in protecting your health.

____ Get some type of movement every day… ideally walk or play sports. The point is to get up and move.

____ Walk around your house for 5 minutes every 2 hours.

____ Rescue a shelter dog and train it to take YOU on a walk at least twice a day. They need exercise, too!

____ Watch less TV and play fewer video games.

____ Spend time playing outside with your children every day. They’re at risk for sedentary disease and premature death, too. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), from 2017 to March 2020, the prevalence of obesity among U.S. children and adolescents was 19.7%. This means that approximately 14.7 million U.S. youths aged 2–19 years are obese.

____ Try to stand for a few minutes every 30 minutes even if it is just at your desk.

____ If you get a phone call that does not require you to be seated get up and walk around the room while you talk.

____ Use a standing desk at work which allows you to work standing for some of the day.

____ If you cannot get outside to walk, invest in a simple treadmill or mini trampoline so you can exercise at home.

“I know that the food which I eat may not always contain all of the nutritional elements necessary for the welfare of my tissue cells, so I supplement my diet with natural and organic protein, vitamin, and mineral tablets. Whenever possible, I demand that my food be in its natural state.

I find time for exercise and recreation. It is my belief that the average person fails to exercise enough to keep his [or her] body free of stagnating waste. If you want to get well and stay well, you MUST free your body of accumulated waste and provide the nutritional elements so necessary to strengthen your resistance against disease and to build vital, vigorous tissue cells. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.“

~ A Study Course in Nutrition by Forrest Shaklee Sr., DC, DD

Are you sitting down? Well… get up!

For centuries, human survival depended on staying active… whether hunting for food, farming crops, or constructing roads and buildings, movement was essential. However, in today’s screen-dominated world, physical activity has sharply declined. This shift to a more stationary lifestyle has given rise to “sedentary disease,” a metabolic syndrome linked to a range of serious health conditions, including a spike in chronic illnesses, obesity, and premature deaths. Research shows that our level of activity… or lack thereof… directly impacts our health. In fact, this more lethargic behavior is quietly fueling some of the deadliest diseases we face. Now health experts globally are ringing the alarm: move more, or face the grim consequences.

But here’s the good news: by recognizing the risks of a sedentary lifestyle and making a commitment to move, you can actively combat disease and disability caused by inactivity.

The health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle…

Do you have any of these conditions?

____ Insulin resistance
____ Type 2 diabetes
____ Colon cancer
____ High blood pressure
____ Osteoporosis
____ Lipid disorder(s)
____ Depression / anxiety
____ Heart disease
____ Obesity
____ Lowered metabolism
____ Stroke
____ Muscle fatigue / degeneration
____ Mental health disorders
____ Sleep issues
____ Increased risk of falling
____ Metabolic syndrome
____ Back & neck pain
____ Cancer
____ Premature death

The risks of being sedentary: What the science shows…

Why have the decrease in activity levels and the increase in sitting time become so important? Because doctors all over the world are seeing a sharp rise in sedentary disease, including chronic medical conditions and early deaths.

Shocking statistics

♦♦ A sedentary lifestyle doubles the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.1

♦♦ Men who spent more than 23 hours a week riding in a car and watching TV combined had a 64% greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.2

♦♦ Physical inactivity accounted for 5.3 million deaths globally in 2008.3

♦♦ An extended period of sedentary behavior increases the risk for diabetes by 112%.4

♦♦ Sitting for more than seven hours a day increases the risk for depression by 47%.5

♦♦ A sedentary lifestyle can increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease by 12%.6

Increase in sitting disease

Multiple studies point to the health risks associated with sedentary disease. While chronic medical conditions can be caused by more than one risk factor, sedentary disease plays a major role in developing these conditions.

♦♦ 60-85% of the world’s population have sedentary lifestyles.7

♦♦ Sedentary jobs have increased 83% since 1950.8

♦♦ American adults average 7.7 hours a day being sedentary.9

♦♦ During the Paleolithic era, men averaged between 13,000, and 21,000 steps, and women averaged approximately 11,000 steps per day. In the United States today, men and women average about 5,000 steps per day.10

♦♦ 25% of Americans spend more than eight hours a day sitting.11

How to combat sitting disease

People across the world are spending more time sitting and less time being physically active. However, increasing your physical activity can make a substantial difference in the risk of disease and premature death, which impacts everyone, including our children who are increasingly overweight.

♦♦ Just two minutes of physical activity every hour can lower the risk of premature death by 33%.12

♦♦ Light intensity activity increased life expectancy by three years compared to sedentary individuals.13

♦♦ People who sit for 30 minutes or less at a time have a 55% lower risk of death than those that sit for longer periods.14

So… isn’t it time to start moving? Your journey to better health through exercise begins with just one step!

Exercise

Why you need to… MOVE!

According to the Mayo Clinic we require physical activity on a daily basis in order to help us thrive in a number of different ways.

♦♦ Exercise helps us to control our body weight by burning the calories we consume from our food intake. This can mean either physical exercise or just finding time to move around at a sedentary job.

♦♦ Healthy exercise staves off medical conditions which if left unaddressed can lead to serious long-term issues.

♦♦ Exercise releases chemicals in the brain which actually help improve your mood…. especially beneficial for those in stressful professions.

♦♦ Exercise not only gives you more energy but it also helps you get more restful sleep. Using up your energy during the day helps you be more relaxed in the evening.

♦♦ Physical exercise is a wonderful way to alleviate stress, particularly if you are upset about a situation.

♦♦ Daily exercise decreases inflammatory markers and improves anti-inflammatory compounds in the body.

♦♦ Research has shown that exercise can increase pain tolerance, reduce pain sensitivity, and enhance the quality of life for those who suffer chronic pain.

♦♦ And here’s one benefit you’ve probably never heard of. According to Mohammad Al-Zahrani, DDS, PhD, former associate professor at the University of Case Western Reserve, adults who exercised moderately for 30 minutes 5 or more days a week were 42 percent less likely to develop periodontitis!

How Shaklee can help you move!

What’s keeping you from becoming more physical… more active? Are you so busy you believe you don’t have time? Could it be that you’re unmotivated… even depressed? Are you overweight and/or out of shape? Maybe you just don’t feel good enough to move? Whatever your concerns, Shaklee can help. Here’s how:

Shaklee supplements make you feel better

It’s hard to get off the couch and move when you just don’t feel good. So your first step is to start taking Shaklee supplements… Vita-Lea or Vitalizer and Life Shake. Shaklee guarantees that you’ll feel better in 30 days or your money back!

Shaklee can help you lose weight

If you have excess pounds weighing you down, the Shaklee 180 Turnaround Kit will “lighten your load” with a healthy, sustainable program you’ll love!

Shaklee can help you increase muscle mass and hydration

If you’ve lost the strength of your youth and feel too weak to exercise, Shaklee Performance products can help you build muscle in a healthy way, hydrate you to stimulate cellular activity, increase your stamina and endurance and help you recover from a strenuous workout.

Shaklee can increase your energy

If you just lack the energy to try moving more, Shaklee offers Vita-E Complex to inject your bloodstream with vital oxygen, CorEnergy to enhance stamina and promote sustained vitality, Sustained Energy Boost to provide immediate and long-lasting energy and Performance Energy Chews to give you a clean burst of energy when you need it most.

 

Sustained Energy Boost | The Pick-Me-Up That Keeps You Going

Shaklee supports joint and muscle movement

When your body hurts all over, it’s hard to want to move it even more. That’s where Shaklee can help. OsteoMatrix supports healthy bones so you won’t injure them when exercising. Alfalfa Complex is reported to help those who have pain from arthritis, and Turmeric Boost, OmegaGuard, Vita-D3, Collagen-9 and Pain Relief Complex help you deal with whatever hurts in your body.

Shaklee helps you sleep like a baby

No one feels like exercising when they haven’t had enough sleep. Restless nights or insomnia can interfere with your health in general and any physical activity you might enjoy. To make sure you’re getting enough sleep, here are some tips:

____ Soak in a relaxing bath before bed. It will loosen tight muscles and gently warm your bones.

____ Establish a regular sleep routine and stick to it. Go to bed and rise at the same time each day.

____ Limit caffeine and alcohol in the evening. Both can disturb sleep patterns.

____ Keep your bedroom quiet, cool and dark. Turn off all electronics.

____ Don’t eat late in the evening. Go to bed satisfied… not hungry or too full.

____ Relax and clear your mind before bed. Read a book, listen to music, meditate or pray before retiring.

____ Take sleep-enhancing supplements. Dream Serene, VitalMag, OmegaGuard, Vivix and Zinc Complex will help you get the sleep you need so that you’ll have the energy to move again!
