Mengapa Anda Harus Memilih Shaklee

Just 20 of the many reasons why Shaklee is different.

Did you know . . .?

1.) Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee was born in November 1894. He was born with tuberculosis and doctors all agreed he was not likely to survive. His parent’s faith in things natural led them to move north where fertile soil produced quality nutritional substances. They put aside medications in place of the family’s food from the farm garden.

2.) Dr. Shaklee said his health improvement was not a miraculous cure, as some people said, he said it was slow but it was sure. At the earliest possible age he was made to understand that wellness has everything to do with good nutrition, a healthy environment and exercise.

3.) When Dr. Shaklee was asked why he decided to study chiropractic medicine instead of becoming a medical doctor he said, “I never belittle the medical profession but we are in two separate fields of endeavor. They are trained to treat disease and I’m interested in building health.”

4.) Dr. Shaklee opened his first practice in Rockwell City, Iowa in 1915. He spoke to his patients about their diets, which was unusual for the time, and devised detailed nutrition diaries to monitor patient’s progress.

5.) Dr Shaklee’s first product in 1915 was called “Vitalized Minerals” in which he isolated natural compounds from vegetables for their mineral values. He was joined in the same year and kept contact with the young Polish biochemist, Casimir Funk, who called his compounds “vitamins” This was the first use of the word vitamins.

6.) Dr. Shaklee was a chiropractor who went through school with his friend, B.J. Palmer, the father of chiropractic care. Dr. Shaklee also held degrees in nutrition, biochemistry, philosophy and divinity.

7.) In 1924, Dr Shaklee built a complete health care center with a staff of chiropractors, osteopaths, internist, general practitioners and surgeons. For the first time Dr. Shaklee’s formulations for food supplements were packaged and dispensed.

8.) In 1928, he developed a sensible diet regimen he recommended to all his patients. This diet was similar to the Food Guide pyramid currently recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture, with emphasis on grains, fruits and vegetables and a minimum of fats and sugar.

9.) In January 1929 he was ordained a minister and in 1933, he officially received his doctor of divinity degree. His deep concern for the spiritual part of life eventually took shape as the Shaklee philosophy.

10.) He practiced chiropractic until he was 65 years old. Then he launched the Shaklee Corporation to market the products he spent his lifetime developing. His dream was to share the products and better health with the world.

11.) Shaklee nutritional products are recognized by the government as food. Many nutritional companies are considered drug companies.

12.) Shaklee is the world's largest provider of vitamins and minerals, and is considered to be the leader in the nutritional industry.

13.) Shaklee has their own products clinically tested by outside, unbiased sources (such as Yale University and Harvard University) providing scientific proof that these products break down and are utilized by your body. Hundreds of these tests are published in peer-reviewed nutritional and medical journals such as:

a. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

b. The Journal of Nutrition

c. The Journal of the American Dietetic Association

d. The Journal of Applied Physiology, and

e. The American Journal of Cardiology

14.) Some companies cite clinical studies, but their actual products have never been tested because law does not require it.

15.) Shaklee products are all balanced and are the most natural supplements available. Being whole food, they contain essential known nutrients, unknown nutrients, phytochemicals and enzymes.

16.) Shaklee has its own research and development lab in Hayward, California, and a second lab built in conjunction with the Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

17.) The Shaklee manufacturing plant is in Norman, Oklahoma. -Most vitamin companies just purchase their vitamins from a central lab and put their own labels on them.

18.) Shaklee spends in excess of $12 million per year on research and testing. Shaklee has over 150 scientists on staff, and an advisory board consisting of doctors, professors, and scientists from leading industries and universities around the world.

19.) As many as 176 separate tests for purity, potency and safety are performed on the ingredients for a single product. All Shaklee product claims have documented substantiation. Products undergo as many 262 separate quality assurance tests throughout the manufacturing process.

20.) SHAKLEE PRODUCTS ARE 100% GUARANTEED! If for any reason a Shaklee product is not satisfactory, return it to your Shaklee Independent Distributor or Shaklee Corporation for exchange or full refund.

Tidur berkualiti antara tips awet muda

Word of the day:

"Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together"

Di dalam kehidupan yang serba moden dan ditambah pula dengan kepadatan jadual hidup, agak sukar bagi kita untuk mendapatkan tidur yang cukup dan berkualiti. Tambahan lagi, kalau ada orang senasib saya ni, siang kerja dan out of office hour dan malam buat part time. Kadang2 terbangun malam pun sy sempat part time. Nama juga 'part time' kan. Hehe.. Walau apa pun tidur kita kena cukup juga.

Mari kita lihat kebaikan tidur yang mencukupi:

Jantung yang sihat

Kajian menunjukkan serangan sakit jantung dan strok biasanya berlaku pada awal pagi. Kurangnya tidur akan menaikkan lagi tekanan darah dan paras kolesterol yang menjadi punca kepada penyakit jantung dan strok. 

Oleh itu, cukup tidur setiap malam diantara 7 hingga 9 jam adalah diperlukan supaya jantung lebih sihat.

Mencegah kanser

Orang yang bekerja sehingga lewat malam atau bekerja secara syif khususnya sangat berisiko tinggi mendapat kanser payudara atau kanser kolon kerana mereka lebih banyak terdedah kepada cahaya lampu pada waktu malam. 

Sebenarnya, terdedah kepada cahaya lampu akan menurunkan paras melatonin dalam darah. 

Hormon melatonin ialah hormon yang menyebabkan kita mengantuk dan juga berfungsi menentang kanser kerana melatonin berupaya membantutkan pertumbuhan tumor kanser. 

Oleh itu, kita digalakkan tidur malam dalam gelap bagi membolehkan badan kita mengeluarkan jumlah melatonin yang diperlukan.

Mengurangkan stres

Apabila tidak cukup tidur di waktu malam, keesokan harinya badan akan cepat terasa letih dan secara tidak langsung akan meningkatkan tekanan darah. 

Seterusnya, tekanan darah tinggi akan meningkatkan risiko mendapat serangan sakit jantung dan strok. 

Kesan stres pula akan menyebabkan seseorang itu sukar untuk tidur. Oleh itu, tidur yang cukup diperlukan oleh badan bagi mengurangkan stres.

Kurangkan keradangan

Peningkatan paras hormon stres akan meningkatkan proses keradangan di dalam badan yang juga merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab risiko penyakit jantung, kanser dan diabetes. 

Keradangan juga mempercepatkan proses penuaan daripada sepatutnya. Alamak nampak cepat tua? 

Menyegarkan badan

Tidur malam yang cukup membolehkan badan mengumpulkan lebih banyak tenaga, tidak mengantuk selepas bangun dan sentiasa segar untuk menjalankan tugas harian.

Mengurangkan risiko kemurungan

Tidur malam yang cakup juga menggalakkan pengeluaran hormon serotonin, sebaliknya kurang tidur akan mengganggu pengeluaran serotonin yang menyebabkan kemurungan. 

Oleh itu, bagi mencegah kemurungan, pastikan kita cukup tidur selama 7 hingga 9 jam setiap malam.

Menguatkan memori

Mimpi semasa tidur dapat menguatkan daya ingatan kerana semasa kita sedang tidur, otak akan memproses segala pengalaman dan peristiwa yang dilalui dan mengaitkannya dengan perasaan dan ingatan seseorang.

Oleh itu, mendapat tidur yang berkualiti (cukup tidur tanpa gangguan) akan menghasilkan daya ingatan yang lebih baik.

Tidur sebentar di waktu siang lebih sihat dan produktif

Tidur sebentar waktu siang, sebaik-baiknya sebelum waktu zohor, digalakkan dalam Islam kerana ini adalah amalan sunnah Rasullulah SAW sejak 1434 tahun yang lalu, bagi mengembalikan tenaga.

Dalam sebuah hadis, Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Memakan sahur itu boleh memberi kekuatan untuk berpuasa pada siang hari dan qailullah (tidur sekejap) pada siang hari (sebelum Zuhur) boleh memberi kekuatan untuk qiamullail.” (HR Ibnu Abbas)

Tips tidur berkualiti ~ Kalsium dan vitamin B

OsteNutrix mengandungi kalsium dan magnesium dimana elemen sangat penting untuk dapatkan tidur yang lena.

Termasuk juga B-Complex yang membekalkan 8 jenis Vitamin B yang penting untuk saraf, memperbaiki emosi dan juga menukar gula kepada tenaga. 

Lebih tenaga lebih rasa muda daripada umur sebenar.
