Say hello To Cinch & Say Goodbye To Excess Weight!

The Dreaded Diet Cycle

If you are like most people, you’ve struggled with your weight at one time or another. You’ve been on every fad diet. Initially you lose some weight, but then you gain it back and find yourself heavier than before.
This is the dreaded cycle of yo-yo dieting. Yes, in the short term you can lose the weight, but every time you do this you may be doing more damage than good because your body thinks it’s experiencing a “famine”.
In response to that famine, your body goes into survival mode and conserves energy by slowing down your metabolism. Your body does its best to hold on to the fat you have for as long as it can.
So, with many diets the weight you initially lose is from fat and muscle. And that loss of muscle slows down your metabolism even further because muscle burns calories.
Muscle=Metabolism.
There are also common challenges — emotional and other physical ones that come along with dieting. Many diets are too restrictive or monotonous, or leave you feeling deprived and don’t teach you how to permanently change your eating and exercise habits. They leave you feeling hungry, tired and craving the foods you miss most.
You’ve about had it, so you return to your old eating habits and gain the weight back. And the sad part is, the weight you put back on is fat weight.

A Million Trees. A Million Dreams

Shaklee Chairman and CEO Honors 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate and Announces Global Environmental Campaign, A Million Trees. A Million Dreams™.San Francisco, CA (March 18, 2006) - Roger Barnett, Chairman and CEO of Shaklee Corporation, and his wife, Sloan, hosted a dinner in honor of 2004 Nobel Peace laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai to launch the company's global environmental campaign, A Million Trees. A Million Dreams™. The mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, also attended to welcome Dr. Wangari Maathai to San Francisco and to provide support for this important environmental campaign.Inspired by the visionary work of Dr. Wangari Maathai and The Green Belt Movement, Barnett announced that in honor of the company's 50th Anniversary, Shaklee will implement a tree-planting campaign to celebrate Earth Day 2006 across the United States and Canada. Shaklee Corporation's more than 750,000 distributors will organize tree-planting events in their respective communities. The company's goal is to plant more than one million trees throughout North America, helping offset a significant portion of the CO2 the company produces while raising awareness of global warming."This year is particularly important for Shaklee because we are celebrating our 50th Anniversary, and in honor of our anniversary, we are inaugurating our biggest global environmental campaign on Earth Day - A Million Trees. A Million Dreams™", said Barnett. "The Green Belt Movement shares Shaklee's model for promoting environmental sustainability. We would like to duplicate efforts of The Green Belt Movement in the United States and Canada. I thank Dr. Wangari Maathai for being such an inspiration to the people of Kenya and to people around the world and for setting an example for social responsibility and environmental activism.""It is very important for us to appreciate the resources we get from nature - to receive with gratitude and not to waste, to use them responsibly and accountably," said Dr. Wangari Maathai. "With all the health products that Shaklee is involved in, they all come from the earth. Because they come to replenish our bodies to give us better health, it is very important to understand the earth must be healthy herself in order to give us products that can promote our health. Trees clean the earth. They clean the air. I am really happy that Shaklee is involved in this fantastic tree planting campaign. We will join them. We will be together."Shaklee will also donate $100,000 to Dr. Wangari Maathai's Green Belt Movement so that she can plant another one million trees in Kenya. Established by Dr. Wangari Maathai thirty years ago, The Green Belt Movement is a grassroots organization that concentrates on planting trees with groups of women, helping to conserve the environment and improve the quality of their lives. Dr. Wangari Maathai was awarded The 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for her significant work with the environment.Shaklee Corporation is the number one natural nutrition company in the United States and has an impressive 50-year history as a pioneer in healthy living and a leader in health and environmental issues. Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee began the company's commitment to products that improve the health of people without harming the planet when he founded the company in 1956. The company's vast array of product categories includes nutritional supplements, home cleaning products, air and water purifiers, plus beauty and skin care products that combine the best of nature and science.Shaklee has a rich history of environmental stewardship and activism. Shaklee has been active in the area of global warming since 1986 when the company funded a research project to the Artic with explorer Will Steger to measure the impact of global warming on the icecaps as well as research expeditions in 1989 and 1996 to measure the acceleration of the melting icecaps. Continuing its strong commitment to global warming, in1989 Shaklee helped Sir Edmund Hillary's American Himalayan Foundation plant some one million trees in Nepal. In 2000 Shaklee decided to take steps to offset its CO2 emissions, with the objective of having a net zero impact on global warming. As a result Shaklee became the first company in the United States to be certified Climate Neutral™ by investing in fossil fuel reduction projects to directly offset the amount of CO2 the company created. In 2002 Shaklee received the U.S. EPA's International Climate Protection Award as well as the Environmental Stewardship International Award from Social Accountability International for leadership on global warming.

Testimonials on Shaklee, Household Cleaning Products & Earth Day

How Shaklee Saved the Planet (Happy Earth Day!)

There's a headline we can all live with! It's Earth Day this month. I remember standing at City Hall in Miami on the first Earth Day in 1970, getting those curious and smug looks from the police in attendance. If you spoke about global warming, or the threat from pollution, you got a glazed look in their eye and a "there goes that crazy hippie" attitude.

My how times change! Now we see cover stories in Time magazine (1) about how the growing economies of the world threaten the environment. (2) Business is booming in the trading of permits for carbon dioxide (CO2) release. (3)Shaklee stepped up their commitment to protecting the environment in the mid 90's when they built a new energy efficient headquarters in Pleasanton, CA. (4) By year 2000 Shaklee had offset the company's impact on the environment in a unique and novel way. They measured the company's CO2 emission "footprint" for their complete business operations. This included all plant operations, vehicle use of all their employees, and the transport of the Shaklee field to national conventions!

To offset their impact on the environment Shaklee invested in national and international "offset projects" to cancel out it's emissions. Shaklee funded projects, ranging from upgrading oil-powered steam boilers to efficient natural gas systems in four Portland, Oregon schools and they also provided solar-generated electricity to rural populations in Sri Lanka and India.

Shaklee was the first company to cancel out their impact on global warming, and in so doing was honored as the first certified Climate Neutral company (5). Shaklee now has plans to plant a million trees as part of their 50th anniversary celebration (6). CEO Roger Barnett launched the company's global environmental campaign with this statement:
"The Green Belt Movement shares Shaklee's model for promoting environmental sustainability. We would like to duplicate efforts of The Green Belt Movement in the United States and Canada. I thank Dr. Wangari Maathai for being such an inspiration to the people of Kenya and to people around the world and for setting an example for social responsibility and environmental activism."

This Earth Day we can all feel great about our commitment to Shaklee's earth-friendly products and express our pride in this remarkable company's commitment to protecting Mother Earth. Way to go Shaklee!

Yours in Health,

Welcome To Your April Newsletter

“We must plan our lives to be as closely in harmony with Nature as it is possible for man to be.”
- Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr.


Long before caring for the environment was a universal concern, Shaklee Corporation founder and visionary Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee understood the profound responsibility we bear as citizens of the world. His vision and values are our guiding force, and his legacy is that we are as dedicated to his mission of creating Products in Harmony with Nature™ as he was when he first made that commitment — 50 years ago

Because of Dr. Shaklee’s foresight, Shaklee Corporation has been and always will be committed to meeting higher standards of environmental accountability. Not only are they a company that enhances lives by offering high-quality products and a unique earning opportunity, they are a company that makes the earth a healthier place for all living things.

Earth Day is a national day of recognition, reminding the nation of the importance of caring for the Earth for generations to come. Dr. Shaklee’s legacy — protecting the earth and providing a healthy home for our families — has continued for almost 50 years. We encourage you to understand the importance of a healthy home for your family.

How safe is your home?

Earth Day has never been more important than it is right now. More than 72,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since WWII, and according to the California Public Interest Research Group, there are 250 billion pounds of synthetic chemicals produced each year in the U.S. alone. If you read the news, you know that the average home contains an estimated 1,500 hazardous compounds. And there’s new research nearly every day that shows living with chemicals outside and inside our homes may be eroding our vitality, decreasing our productivity, and increasing our health costs.
In a recent study, some 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals were found to be present in humans. Some 76 of these cause cancer in humans or animals. And 10 percent of all cases reported to Poison Control that involved children also involved household cleaners.
You can't assume a product is free of potentially harmful chemicals just because you are not told that on the label. In fact, here's what you may find in other cleaning popular cleaning solutions that you won't find in Shaklee products: phosphates, acids, chlorine, borates, nitrates, ammonia, organic solvents, and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are suspected of affecting health.

What works best for the earth works best for your home

Fortunately, Shaklee offers an alternative — products that contribute to a safer, healthier home. Shaklee home care products are highly effective and environmentally friendly, so they help protect our children and our planet.
For example, our flagship household product, Basic-H® Concentrated Organic Cleaner, was the first biodegradable all-purpose household cleaner on the market when it was introduced in 1960. Today, millions of bottles later, it’s more popular than ever. It’s efficient, powerful, biodegradable, economical, and safe: You can use it for so many cleaning chores, and you can feel comfortable knowing your children aren’t inhaling harmful fumes or touching dangerous chemicals as you clean with it. Is it any wonder Basic-H was named an official Earth Day product?
Shaklee cleaning products are powered by environmentally safe ingredients that are biodegradable, hypoallergenic and gentle on fabrics, safe for plumbing, and release no nasty, caustic odors. Plus, they pack serious cleaning power and are super-concentrated, so a little goes a long way, and less packaging winds up in landfills.
That’s the legacy Shaklee is intent on safeguarding. We believe that it isn’t enough to cherish our loved ones. We must actively protect them by choosing to live more responsibly. We encourage you to join the effort for your own children and families, and for the earth at large. We’ll all be better off for it today, and earn the grateful appreciation of future generations.

Improving Your Immune Health

Shaklee

Creating Healthier Lives

Welcome to your March Shaklee Newsletter!

This month we are highlighting our immune systems and how to keep it operating at its peak.
There are links at the end of this newsletter if you would like more information.
Please feel free to share this with someone who could use this information.

Enjoy!

Improving Your Immune Health:
Ways to Strengthen Your Immune System:

At a time when people are exposed to more than 200 different cold viruses, several strains of the flu, and hosts of allergens, having a healthy immune system is more important than ever before. Still, modern life constantly challenges immune function, which is why public health officials offer this important advice: don’t take your immune system for granted.
What can you do to ensure that your immune system is healthy and ready to shield your body from infection? Here is what you need to know:

1. Find Ways to Relax

Because stress produces many different effects on the endocrine systems, including the well-known “fight or flight” response, scientists hypothesize that your immune system may become weakened after frequent activation of the autonomic nervous system in the case of chronic stresses. There are a number of techniques to help you relax, such as deep breathing or yoga, which can reduce mental and physical stress, tension and anxiety, promote good sleep, lower blood pressure and slow down your heart rate. Listening to music also reduces stress and relieves anxiety, as does relaxing in a hot bath.

2. Sleep Matters.

Besides leaving you feeling sluggish, irritable, and forgetful, not getting enough sleep can reduce the effectiveness of your immune system by up to 50 percent. This is because sleep time is when the body and immune system do most of its repairs and rejuvenation. Strive to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Remember rest and relaxation go hand in hand.

3. Feed Your Immune System Well.

According to a number of studies, not getting enough nutrients in the diet can weaken the immune system. That is why nutritionists recommend a -well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruit, vegetables, low-fat dairy products and whole grains. Of special importance are foods that are rich in antioxidants (like vitamins C, E, beta carotene and lycopene), omega-3 fatty acids, and folate. Antioxidants fight and neutralize free radicals, which are molecules that damage cells and cause heart disease, cancer and premature aging. Omega-3 fatty acids (a polyunsaturated fat) have anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular-enhancing and immune-regulating properties while folate prevents age-related cognitive decline, damage to blood vessels and brain cells.

4. Get Physically Active

Being physically active -- which means walking, climbing stairs, dancing, and other activity that involves movement -- strengthens your immune system, cardiovascular system, heart, muscles and bones. Being active also stimulates the release of endorphins, improves mental functioning, concentration/attention and cognitive performance, and lowers cholesterol, blood pressure, cortisol and other stress hormones.

5. Lose Weight in a Healthy Way

If you are overweight, losing weight is a healthy thing to do. But research finds that a rapid weight loss of more than 2 pounds a week can have negative immune effects. Successful weight loss is typically losing about 10 percent of your body weight in six months. Towards this end, experts recommend losing about ¾ to 2 pounds per week and not more than 3 pounds per week (weight loss may be faster at the start of a program). When it comes to successful weight loss and weight management, steady and slow is the way to go.

6. Wash Your Hands

One of the best ways to prevent the spread of microorganisms that cause infections is good hand hygiene. Washing your hands with soap and water several times per day and always before you eat greatly reduces your exposure to bacteria and viruses. In case you cannot wash with soap and water when you are away from home, carry some alcohol-based hand wipes with you to control microbial exposure and transmission.

7. Don’t Get Too Much Sun

Unprotected sun exposure is linked with immune suppression. That is why cold sores often appear following time spent in the sun. To protect your immune system, always wear a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.

8. Take Advantage of Immune-Supporting Supplementation

A balanced diet containing fruits, vegetables and whole grains is important to keep the immune system functioning effectively. But many Americans have nutritionally deficient diets, which is why it is now possible to take supplements containing herbs that have immunoactive properties. This means the herbs work in combination to naturally increase the body’s production of interferon, the protein that triggers the body’s immune system to mount an immune response.

Some of the botanicals with these immune-boosting properties are pumpkin seed extract, plantago seed, safflower flower, and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds.


Every day you breathe, eat, touch and share millions of dangerous microbes that infest your surroundings. Though invisible, these substances still pose an undeniable health threat.
But you are not defenseless. The body has built-in mechanisms designed to protect us whenever possible. Your immune system is the natural shield against the stresses and environmental factors we encounter every day. A complex network, the immune system provides many layers of defense.
Immune cells can activate a substance called interferon. Interferon is a natural substance produced by the body and has two important functions.
First, it signals neighboring cells and triggers their defense mechanisms. Second, interferon activates immune cells to perform their intended functions.
Interferon helps protect us from the daily exposure to pathogens and allergens. And as complex as the immune system may be, one thing is certain. The role of interferon is essential.
