“Nutritional and medical researchers have found that supplementing your regular diet not only improves your general body efficiency, but also aids your body specifically in overcoming nutritional deficiency diseases [and] have specific values in eliminating certain health-destroying conditions.
It has been authoritatively demonstrated that, in spite of your “three square meals a day”, you may be suffering from malnutrition. The addition of a natural nutritional supplement will certainly help you overcome your nutritional deficiency weaknesses.“
~ A Study Course in Nutrition by Forrest Shaklee Sr., DC, DD
Creating a healthy “new you”
Good health… with the goal of maximum longevity… is not solely dependent upon your genetics. It is also based on developing healthy lifestyle habits that can help you maintain physical and mental health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve your overall well-being.
In the search for longevity, scientists often look to the “blue zones” for inspiration and guidance. Blue zones are communities of people who not only live longer but also thrive with health and vitality well into their 90’s and 100’s!
What distinguishes these areas from other parts of the world are their lifestyle habits… not just trends or fads followed for a week or two… but healthy daily habits they have employed for decades and which serve as a testament to the transformative power of simple yet profound changes you can make today.
These pearls of wisdom aren’t exclusive to these remote “blue zones” of the world. They are principles that can be embraced and woven into your daily routine, fostering a healthier, more vibrant you!
Hydration for improved health
Staying hydrated impacts our bodies in ways that are both subtle and significant. From maintaining vital organ functions to aiding digestion and circulation, the benefits of adequate
hydration are profound.
Water plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature, cushioning joints, and supporting cellular processes, as well as boosting cognitive function, and elevating both mood and energy levels.
To experience the amazing benefits of proper hydration, drink at least 8 glasses of Get Clean Water every day!
Shaklee supplement secrets…
In the pursuit of optimal health, supplements have emerged as powerful allies, offering a wealth of nutrients and compounds to support your well-being. However, the vast array of supplements available, coupled with misleading marketing and conflicting information, can leave you feeling overwhelmed and confused.
The primary purpose of food supplements is to fill nutritional gaps, ensuring that the body receives an optimal supply of essential nutrients required for proper functioning.
Supplements come in various forms, each designed to address specific nutritional needs. Here are some common types of nutritional supplements:
♦♦ Multivitamin / mineral (MVM) supplements are a mix of vitamins and minerals, with other nutrients sometimes added. Each vitamin and mineral in an MVM has a unique job in the body. For a complete, balanced, proven-to-improve-your-health MVM, try Scientifically Advanced Vita-Lea.
♦♦ Fiber supplements. Fiber is a carbohydrate that helps promote digestive health, regulate blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol. Shaklee Life Shake contains 6 grams of dietary fiber per serving.
♦♦ Individual vitamin supplements target specific vitamins, such as vitamin C (Sustained Release Vita-C) for immune support, vitamin D (Vita-D3) for bone health, and vitamin B (B-Complex) for energy metabolism.
♦♦ Phytonutrients are plant compounds that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They support overall health and well-being. Shaklee Vitalizer contains a wealth of phytonutrients.
♦♦ Adap
togens are herbs that help the body adapt to stress, improve energy and boost immunity. Two effective adaptogenic products are Triple Defense Boost and Stress Relief Complex.
♦♦ Enzymes are proteins that help the body break down food and absorb nutrients. Enzymatic supplements can be used to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. Shaklee EZ-Gest provides five digestive enzymes that help relieve discomfort you may feel after eating.

The “blue zone” lifestyle…
These are the lifestyle habits observed in the “blue zones” that contribute significantly to longevity and overall well-being.
The question is… will you adopt their habits as your own?
⇒⇒ A plant-based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and w
hole grains.
⇒⇒ Eating until feeling just 80% full. Don’t overeat.
⇒⇒ Regular physical activity… that involves natural, low-intensity exercises like walking.
⇒⇒ Prioritizing family connections and cultivating strong social bonds that provide support, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
⇒⇒ Stress reduction practices that promote relaxation and lowered stress levels.
⇒⇒ Taking time for self-care, fostering relationships, and embracing simplicity.
⇒⇒ Having a clear sense of one’s life purpose that drives daily activities and decisions.
⇒⇒ Remaining active and engaged in life pursuits each and every day as you age.
⇒⇒ Consuming alcohol, particularly wine, in moderation, often as part of social or cultural practices.
⇒⇒ Participating in faith-based or spiritual practices that provide a sense of purpose, community, and support.
⇒⇒ Having regular and sufficient sleep to support overall well-being.
Even if you embrace just a few of these practices you can significantly enhance your health, while fostering an improved sense of fulfillment and vitality.

Reducing toxins to live healthier and longer
Many people don’t consider the toxins all around them when they think about their health. However, if you want to live longer, you must try to avoid the ever-increasing toxins you are exposed to, including those from the food you eat and the personal and household products that you use.
Toxins can be a causative factor in many different illnesses including heart disease, cancer, compromised immunity, poor concentration and memory, headaches, mood swings, erratic behavior, and poor mental health, to name a few. You can easily be exposed to harmful toxins through your skin or just by breathing!
Some of the common toxins you may already be aware of include smoke from cigarettes, alcohol, heavy metals such as mercury and lead, artificial food preservatives and dyes, BPA, mold, herbicides, and pesticides.
If you want to reduce your exposure to harmful toxins, start by making better lifestyle choices.
Clean up your diet
Many foods you eat can contain toxins, depending upon how it’s grown or processed. Even negligible amounts can accumulate in your body over time.
One of the best ways to avoid toxins in food is to shift to organic to avoid pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals.
Increasing your consumption of fiber-rich food and removing processed foods and sugar from your diet will also benefit your body.
Drink more water
Water helps to flush toxins out of your body, so it’s important to ensure you’re always hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and avoid alcohol as it can dehydrate the brain..
Switch to natural personal care products
Unfortunately, many personal care products are full of toxins. Choose products that contain natural ingredients and are free of harmful chemicals. Shaklee offers a wide range of personal care and beauty products such as YOUTH and Pomifera that are free of toxic chemicals found in other personal care products on the market.
Use natural cleaners
While home cleaning products with chemicals can be quite effective in removing stains, dirt, and odors in the home, they have components that are harmful to your health, particularly to your respiratory system.
You can minimize your exposure to toxins by using Shaklee Get Clean natural products instead.
Ventilate your home
Indoor air can contain pollutants like volatile organic compounds from household cleaners, off-gassing from furniture or carpets, and even cooking fumes. Adequate ventilation helps remove these pollutants by allowing fresh outdoor air to circulate and dilute indoor contaminants. Good ventilation also expels excess moisture, preventing mold and mildew formation..
Boost your immunity
It’s impossible to avoid toxins altogether, so it’s important to build your defense. Boost your 
immune system so your body can fight and flush out toxins. Make sure that you eat foods rich in antioxidants and take immune-boosting supplements like Vita-C, Triple Defense Boost, NutriFeron, Defend & Resist Complex, Immunity Formula I, Zinc Complex and Vita-D3 to improve your immunity and boost your body’s detoxification system.
These small changes can yield profound results, offering the promise of a longer, healthier, life!

Do you remember Shaklee “Foot Cream”?
Once upon a time, Shaklee’s Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream used to be called… Foot
Cream! And it came in a jar instead of the now-familiar tube.
But guess what? Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream is still the same absolutely amazing product that it’s always been! Multi-Purpose Cream contains extracts of matricaria, sage, coltsfoot, restharrow, horse chestnut, horsetail, yarrow, rosemary, dandelion, althea and witch hazel along with menthol and other soothing natural ingredients. That’s why it works so well to heal your feet and other “hurtin’” body parts.
Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream can be used for:
♦♦ Sunburn
♦♦ Skin rashes
♦♦ Cuts and scrapes
♦♦ Bruises
♦♦ Corns and calluses
♦♦ Itchy dry scalp and skin
♦♦ Rough, red elbows and knees
♦♦ Dry, chapped hands
♦♦ Cracked and chapped lips
♦♦ Poison oak and ivy
♦♦ Sore, aching muscles (great for massages!)
♦♦ A shaving cream substitute… try it on legs and underarms before and after shaving
♦♦ A first-aid cream (is NOT an antibiotic cream)

Stellar reviews…
“I have been using this product for over 40 years – starting when it was footcream – and I would 
not want to be without it. It is amazing how it soothes and heals irritated skin – not just feet!”
~Rosemarie H
“The Multi Purpose Cream is the best thing for your cracked feet and hands. Amazing healing herbs soften and help damaged skin to repair itself. My husband is a mechanical maniac and uses this every night on his hands before he goes to bed. You would never know his hobby by shaking hands with him because they are so soft and smooth.”
~Jay V
