From Cindy Latham, Shaklee's Vice President of Marketing, in a facebook post on March 5, 2010, said "I can't end the week, without commenting about Omega3 in the news. There was a lawsuit filed against a number of brands (not Shaklee) that raised some concerns, brands that used cod liver oil. There are NO safety issues Shaklee's OmegaGuard. We use pharmaceutical grade fish oil, we use a molecular distillation process to remove contaminants like dioxings, mercury and PCB's (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Shaklee's fish oil comes from highly purified whole fish --not from the liver of cod or shark (which the brands in the lawsuit used) which tend to accumulate these harmful compounds. Shaklee helped create a monograph to establish the standard for quality and purity, including defining the limits for contaminants including dioxin, PCB's, lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium. Yeah !!"
Shaklee OmegaGuard is made with a state-of-the-art, proprietary, Triple Molecular Distillation Process, that concentrates the  natural beneficial omega-3 fatty acids while helping remove the harmful compounds. Triple Distilled Means Superior Formulation: 1. Helps remove impurities and contaminants such as lead, mercury, arsenic,cadmium, dioxins,and PCBs that are often found in fish and fish oils 2. Prevents the formation of dangerous trans fats for a healthier fish oil 3. Minimizes odor and fishy aftertaste.
Shaklee OmegaGuard contains a full spectrum of seven naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids EPA, DHA, ALA, and more. It also contains higher levels of EPA and DHA than leading brands. DHA is critical for brain development and function. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Research shows that high levels of omega-3 fatty acids promote cardiovascular health and help retain normal blood pressure and triglyceride levels.*

In a recent article by Pamela Bond, "A new study has linked phthalates, a substance used in some shampoos, lotions, air fresheners and children’s toys, with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Although research on the health effects of phthalates (pronounced “thalates”) has been somewhat inconsistent, the latest study, published in Biological Psychiatry, adds to troubling findings about the chemical."
While studying over 260 school age children, between the age of 8 and 11, researchers measured the level of phthalates in the urine. The researchers noted that the higher the concentration of phthalate metabolites in the urine, the more severe the ADHD symptoms. “These data represent the first documented association between phthalate exposure and ADHD symptoms in school-aged children,” noted Yun-Chul Hong, MD, PhD, senior author of the Korean study.
Studies on Phthaltes have been inconsistent previously. Some have linked the chemical to birth defects, asthma, hormone disruptions,and problems with reproduction while others have not found major association between phthalate exposure and health risks. For more information. |

It's a New Year, with New Pounds hanging on, again! Been there before, and are back again. So what can we do differently in 2010 and beyond to break this cycle of weight gain? Don't despair, there are simple changes that can be made to help you loose weight and keep it off. As in anything, you are in control of what you eat and the quantities. So know that you are also in control of your future.
One of the easiest things to do to help with weight management or loss, is to Eat Breakfast! Now that wasn't so bad, was it? Eating Breakfast gives you the fuel you need for the rest of the day. Overnight, your body is using your dinner fuel to refresh your body. While you are sleeping, your body is using that fuel to renew your body. After a long sleep, you need fuel. However, some folks think that skipping breakfast will help them loose a few pounds. Research shows that the calories that might be skipped at breakfast are more than made up by larger meals and snacks in the rest of the day. Also, studies have shown that brain function, mood and general energy are better when breakfast is eaten. So do yourself a favor and eat a good breakfast with a balance of carbs, protein and fiber. Protein is essential for the repair, growth and maintenance  of body tissues as well as keeping your energy up during the day.
Another tip for keeping those pounds off is to eliminate a few calories each day. Research has shown that our meals are increasing in size over the decades so that now we are eating more calories than we did in the 1970's. That is resulting in about 30% of the population of the US being Obese! So, cut our a few calories each day. Skip a cookie or two, eat a smaller piece of cake, eat desert at one meal, not two. Drink water instead of sweeten beverages such as soda, teas, alcoholic beverages. Now that is not so hard! Cutting 100 calories from your daily intake can help you loose about 10 pounds in a year. Reward!
The Third tip of weight loss and management is to move around. Getting a few more steps in each day is easy if you park a little further from the door of the office or store. Walk around the block with the kids or the dog, or your favorite songs. Take the steps instead of the elevator or escalator. The idea is to add movement!
More to come soon! Get started now with these small changes. Keep a daily record of your food intake and movement so you can see how these small changes can made a difference! Stay Well.  |
