Happy Earth Day !!

But, do not despair, spring cleaning doesn’t have to be noxious and difficult during the actual cleansing part of the process. There are safe and non-toxic cleaning products available that are economical and work really well.

My favorite (of course), are the Get Clean products from Shaklee. I first learned about them on Oprah’s Earth Day show in 2007, and I’ve been a believer ever since. Please watch the below video segment from that actual episode.

I then spent the following month researching Shaklee’s cleaning and nutritional products. Ultimately, I started using them and I know that it’s made a huge difference for my family and the planet.

The cleaning products are concentrated and non-toxic. And, the nutritional supplements are all natural. All products are 100% money back guaranteed and this month you can become a Shaklee member for free, with a minimum $30.00 purchase. If, you’d like more information about the products and or the company, please don’t hesitate to contact me or peruse through my website at www.sowing4health.com. Make this spring cleaning project a healthy one for your family and the planet.

Value Sheet Get Clean

In a recent study that was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, a group of young, healthy, normal-weight adults were fed a typical fast food breakfast of egg muffin and sausage muffin sandwiches and two servings of hash browns. That’s a whopping 910 calories with 51 grams of fat (1/3 of that saturated), 88 grams of carbohydrate and 34 grams of protein!

The results from the study showed that after eating this meal, genes would be activated to create an inflammatory response which can alter insulin resistance. They also found interference with the leptin signaling pathway. Basically, that means that your brain doesn’t realize that you just ate 910 calories. Therefore, you will probably want to eat more. Sound familiar?

For the study, half the test group was given Shaklee’s resveratrol product known as Vivix prior to their meal, and the other half was given a placebo. The results showed that those who were given the Vivix, completely reversed the short term bad effects of the fast food meal.

The fact that it is an independent study is important. That means that Shaklee didn’t control the data. If, Vivix had turned out to be no better than placebo, those would have been the results that would have been published!

The study was completed by Dr. Paresh Dandona and his colleagues at the State University of New York at Buffalo and published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (H. Ghanim et al, J. Clin. Endocrin. Metab., doi:10.1210/jc.2010-1812). It is currently available in online form and will appear in print in May 2011.

So what is the take home lesson for you?

Even if you don’t eat fast food meals you should know that oxidative damage, chronic inflammation and insulin resistance have many causes. You don’t need to eat a fast food meal to generate that kind of metabolic stress.

And it would be foolish to think that Vivix could undo all of the bad effects of fast foods. Vivix simply prevents that immediate effects of a fast food meal.

If you continue to eat fast foods on a regular basis you will pack on the pounds, plug your arteries, raise your blood pressure – the list goes on and on. But, to me the most important conclusion from this clinical study is that Vivix works.

Are you sure that you still want to eat that fast food meal?

Celebrate Heart Health Month

American Heart Month is our nation’s annual reminder to take care of the most important and perhaps most neglected organ in the human body. My friends over at Shaklee believe that a heart-healthy diet and lifestyle should be a year-round, life-long effort, this month, next month and always. And it’s not too late to start taking better care of your heart, or helping someone else do the same.

Although we can’t change some risk factors, such as age and heredity, many factors—including cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity, and inactivity—can be modified, thus significantly lowering the risk of heart disease. And because lifestyle habits (e.g. diet, exercise, and appropriate supplementation) can strongly influence these modifiable risk factors, here are 10 lifestyle strategies you can implement to promote a healthy heart.

Ten Lifestyle Strategies for Promoting a Healthy Heart:

1. Make more healthful food choices.

2. Lose the belly fat and keep it off.

3. Get more of the “sunshine” vitamin.

4. Go fishing with omega-3 fatty acids.

5. Protect your body against free radicals and oxidative stress.

6. Boost your phytonutrient intake.

7. Fill up on fiber.

8. Find a friend in Coenzyme Q10.

10. Take time to De-stress.

For details about how to put these tips to use and more, please download the attached HealthyHeart (PDF).

And, for more heart-healthy information, listen to this month’s Health Sciences Conference Call, from Shaklee. The portion of this call on the Science of Heart Health is now on rebroadcast on 1-512-404-1255, press 2. Listen and share with someone else!

Smirk if you must, when I tell you that I’m referring to Shaklee products. BUT, did you know that NASA has used Shaklee’s Basic H (all-purpose cleaner) in their facilities? How about the fact that a Northern California based aerospace and defense leader uses Basic H in their specifications for maintenance of equipment? Or, even that there are numerous farm and ranch owners that use Basic H to rid crops of pests or worm their cattle? No, the last example is not based on Shaklee Corporation’s recommendations. But, based on years of practice by forward-thinking farmers and ranchers, Basic H is preferred due to its being a natural, organic,  non-ionic, surfactant.

So, why would you pay more for products that may or may not be safe? Or, why would you use safe products that put more packaging into the landfills, than concentrated, safe and guaranteed products by Shaklee? Did you know that even using safe products like vinegar and baking soda, can cost more out of your pocketbook and put more into the landfills, than some of  Shaklee’s products?

If, you’ve never met, let me introduce Shaklee Corporation to you. A direct marketing company that has been in continuous business for over 50 years. They were the first-ever certified, Climate Neutral company in the U.S. They are also the number one natural nutrition company in the United States. A company that has never had a product recall and stands behind ALL their products, with a 100% money-back guarantee.

Yep, that’s Shaklee. And what a product line of safe, smart, green products they have! The Get Clean product line includes an all-purpose cleaner, Basic H2. One 16-ounce bottle of this concentrated green cleaner dilutes down into over 200 bottles of cleaner. That works out to about .07 cents a bottle and only one original bottle to the plastic recycling center.

Please take the opportunity to view this short 3-minute video with information about Shaklee’s cleaning products. Also, feel free to go over to my website and peruse through for information on each and every product. Also,  Shaklee  offers kitchen and laundry products that are safe for the environment and your pocketbook. The Shaklee philosophy is: Always Safe, Always Works, Always Green. I invite you to find out for yourself and share the results here for others to see.

For those of you that aren’t familiar with Shaklee; yes, it’s a network marketing company. Just like Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Mary Kay, Avon, etc. 

Shaklee has also been in continuous business for over 50 years, never had a product recall and is the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the United States. Dr Shaklee always impressed upon his sales force, that this company was founded upon The Golden Rule and living in harmony with nature.

The Company started out providing natural nutritional supplements, and has expanded into natural cleaning products, weight management products and personal care products. They are a company fully staffed with numerous scientists and researchers, because Shaklee will only offer products that are proven to be safe and natural.

Being a Shaklee “member”, has a one-time $19.95 fee, similar to a Costco membership. That classification entitles the Member to pay 15% off of retail prices and be eligible for Member Specials that are offered.

As a Shaklee “member”, one is not required to make any minimum monthly purchases. There are no forced orders or auto-ships, and no need to notify the company if you are no longer interested in purchasing the products. Also, all their products are 100% money-back guaranteed.

Shaklee is currently offering to waive the $19.95 new membership fee, with a minimum order purchase, on the initial order.  The information is available on my website or by clicking here.

For myself, being a Shaklee “Member-Distributor” means consuming/using products that work for my health issues and help the environment.  Shaklee has provided me the opportunity to do well by doing good for others and the planet.

Not everything works for everyone, so each of us must travel our own journeys to find what feels the best to us. I encourage everyone to stretch themselves and continue on their journey.

So, for those that consider themselves environmentally conscious members of society and would choose to continue to be closed-minded about Shaklee and the notion that companies and people can’t change, then please don’t bother reading any futher. But, to those environmentally conscious members of society that believe in progress, change and the idea that ANYONE can catch the vision; I’d like to brag about Shaklee’s latest environmental achievement.

On December 2nd, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that eight businesses achieved goals set by the EPA, thus recognizing these companies as EPA Climate Leaders in 2009. Shaklee achieved its initial goal by maintaining net zero U.S. GHG emissions from 2006 to 2009, using a 2004 base year.

As stated on the EPA’s website: “The EPA works with companies to develop comprehensive climate change strategies. Partner companies commit to reducing their impact on the global environment by completing a corporate-wide inventory of their greenhouse gas emissions based on a quality management system, setting aggressive reduction goals, and annually reporting their progress to EPA. Through program participation, companies create a credible record of their accomplishments and receive EPA recognition as corporate environmental leaders.”

This is not the first time that Shaklee received this honor. In 2006, they were recognized as a Climate Leader by the EPA. Actually, for over 50 years, Shaklee has quietly led the way in environmental stewardship and support of social causes.

In 2000, Shaklee became the first company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral™ certification and totally offset its CO2 emissions. There is more information on their achieivements and causes on the Shaklee website.

Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to share about Shaklee receiving the EPA Climate Leader Award. I am very proud of Shaklee and continue to strive, just as they do, to make positive changes for the sustainability of planet Earth.
