Usana - New Glycemic Index Standard (GI) GLYCEMIC INDEX: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU? Low GI is very important for Diabetics... The glycemic index is a way of measuring the rate at which carbohydrates are broken down and appear in the blood as simple sugars. Those foods that result in a rapid rise in blood sugar have a high-glycemic index. Carbohydrates that are broken down slowly and cause only a moderate increase in blood sugar have a low-glycemic index. Some carbohydrates fall in between. High-glycemic foods provide quick energy, but it is usually short lived and hunger soon returns. Low-glycemic foods provide greater satiety and sustained energy, which makes eating less and losing weight easier. High-glycemic diets also have been linked to obesity, type II diabetes, insulin resistance, and heart disease and some cancers. Virtually all processed convenience foods and many meal replacement and diet products on the market today are unfortunately, high glycemic.3 and why you take the weight off, then it all comes back ‘plus’ more.

Poor Magnesium Status May Be Related To Metabolic
Poor Magnesium Status May Be Related To Metabolic Syndrome
Nov 2010
Inadequate magnesium status is related to factors involved with metabolic syndrome, a risk factor for heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. In a recent study, lower magnesium levels correlated with an increased number of metabolic syndrome risk factors.
Metabolic syndrome has been defined as the presence of abdominal obesity combined with two of the following factors: hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, or diabetes mellitus. Magnesium is an essential cofactor for more than 300 enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
In a recent study, researchers enrolled 117 overweight and obese patients and measured serum magnesium levels together with fasting serum glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and triacylglycerols. Researchers found a strong inverse relationship between serum magnesium levels and the presence of metabolic syndrome. In addition, as the level of serum magnesium decreased, the number of factors relating to metabolic syndrome increased. There was also an inverse relationship between serum magnesium levels and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation).
The study authors concluded that decreased levels of serum magnesium are associated with increased risk for metabolic syndrome, possibly due to a low-grade inflammatory process.

Natural Medicine – A Cost Effective Way to Improve Health
Australians spend over $3.5 billion each year on complementary medicines and therapies, most commonly to assist in the management of chronic disease and improve health and wellbeing. Over the last twenty years, there has been a growing body of scientific knowledge on the efficacy of complementary medicine. A recent research study by Access Economics demonstrates the potential role that complementary medicines can play in improving the health of Australians in a cost-effective manner.
Research partnerships have increasingly focused on high burden of disease areas where mainstream medicine has yielded relatively poor results, particularly in the prevention and management of chronic disease, and towards enhanced results using a combination of complementary and mainstream interventions.
In 2009, the National Institute of Complementary Medicine (NICM) commissioned Access Economics to undertake a series of cost effectiveness studies of selected complementary medicine interventions where a reasonable body of evidence for safety and efficacy was available. These were:
Acupuncture for chronic low back pain;
St John’s wort for mild to moderate depression;
Omega-3 fish oils for secondary prevention of heart disease;
Omega-3 fish oils to reduce non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use in rheumatoid
arthritis; and
A proprietary herbal medicine for pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis.
The study report provided evidence that selected complementary medicine interventions represent cost effective treatment options for specific medical conditions.
Acupuncture for chronic low back pain was found to be cost effective if used as a complement to standard care such as medication, physiotherapy, exercises, and education. Acupuncture alone as an alternative to standard care provided a significant improvement in pain reduction for a short period. When comorbidity depression commonly associated with back pain was also taken into consideration, the benefits for both pain and depression were significantly greater than standard care alone.
Based on analyses of recent clinical trials, St John’s wort was determined to be cost effective compared to standard anti-depressants for patients with mild to moderate (not severe) depression.
Dietary interventions are commonly suggested by GPs following a heart attack. Where dietary changes cannot be made (or sustained) there is a clear role for the use of dietary supplements to provide the necessary dietary intake of EPA and DHA. Fish oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids are highly cost effective when used as an adjunctive treatment in people with a history of coronary heart disease, achieving reduced death and morbidity. These findings are consistent with other international studies.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a painful and often very serious inflammatory condition, characterised by pain, joint stiffness, loss of joint function and swelling. The whole body is affected, with inflammation causing an increase in risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. This study showed that there was a gain in quality of life through use of fish oils, however, was not cost effective in reducing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use in rheumatoid arthritis. The improvement in quality of life was achieved at a higher cost per DALY (disability adjusted life year) avoided than PBS-subsidized medications.
It should be noted that only direct health costs are included in the study analyses. Indirect costs (such as loss of productivity at work and cost for treating comorbidities) have been excluded. Cost savings would be expected to be higher if indirect costs were included in the analyses.

Science Behind Fibergy Plus flyer
http://www.usana.com/media/File/Prospecting%20page/Tools/US/Optimizers/US-ENFibergy.pdf
Good Digestive Health Just Got a Little Easier .
USANA’s Digestive Enzyme supplement is designed to support digestion and reduce the symptoms of occasional indigestion, including occasional heartburn, gas, and bloating. This powerful supplement encourages more complete digestion and absorption of nutrients.*
USANA’s Digestive Enzyme supplies supplemental enzymes that support the breakdown of dietary carbohydrates (including sugars and starches), fats, and proteins. It encourages more complete digestion and absorption of nutrients while supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes.*
Health Basics
• Supplies enzymes to support normal digestion and optimal macronutrient absorption*
• Helps relieve occasional upset stomach, indigestion, heartburn, gas, and bloating after eating a large meal*
• Supports body’s natural detoxification processes*
What makes USANA’s Digestive Enzyme unique?
USANA’s Digestive Enzyme is unique in that it contains an enzyme found in the blend called lactase. Lactase assists in the digestion of food containing lactose. In addition, USANA’s Digestive Enzyme is different from others on the market because it contains spirulina, a nutrient-rich blue-green algae “super food” that contains chlorophyll. Chlorophyll supports the body’s natural processes for eliminating toxins from the body*.
NEW! Fibergy® Plus
Cholesterol free and low in sodium, Fibergy Plus can be mixed with juice, water, or even Nutrimeal™ shakes, taking on the flavor of the drink you mix it with and providing 12 grams of fiber per serving. It is gluten, dairy, and soy protein free and promotes good digestive health and healthy bacterial growth.*
Health Basics
• Fibergy Plus is a flavorless fiber blend that you add to juice or Nutrimeal™ and is naturally a low-calorie option
• Contains 12 grams of dietary fiber per serving
• Promotes good digestive health*
• Gluten free, dairy free, and soy free‡
• May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease†
• Natural ingredients
Did You Know?
• Less than 10 percent of Americans get the recommended 21–38 grams of fiber in their daily diet.
• A diet high in fiber can help you maintain a healthy digestive system and great long-term health.*
Why Fibergy Plus?
The dietary fiber in Fibergy Plus not only promotes good digesting health and is important to the maintenance of heart health, but it aides in normal bowel regularity as well, which helps move wastes and toxins out of the colon quickly and efficiently. If the colon doesn’t function properly, wastes can back up and recycle through the body. The high fiber content in Fibergy Plus will also leave you feeling satisfied, making it easy to skip unhealthy snacks throughout the day. Diets high in soluble and insoluble fiber are important for digestive health. Fibergy Plus makes it simple to add the benefits of fiber to your daily diet.*

Antioxidant Power…
We hear or read about antioxidants on almost a daily basis but how many of us know what they really are? Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals1
Made using our innovative Nutritional Hybrid Technology, Proflavanol C100 combines USANA’s unique bioflavonoid supplement, Proflavanol, with a powerful dose of the immune system protection of vitamin C.*
Health Basics
• Clinically shown to promote sound cardiovascular health*
• Helps support balanced immune function*
• Vitamin C carries dual importance as the body’s premier water-soluble antioxidant and as a coenzyme essential for the synthesis and health of connective tissues and throughout the body*
• Supports eye health*
• Provides ingredients essential for maintaining healthy, younger-looking skin*
Did You Know?
• Grape-seed bioflavonoids and vitamin C work together to provide advanced antioxidant protection.*
Why Proflavanol C100?
With USANA’s unique formulation, Proflavanol C100 bioflavonoid supplement combines the highest quality grape-seed extract with the free-radical quenching power of vitamin C, giving you an important tool in the quest for lifelong good health. Laboratory studies done at USANA confirm that, when used together, these ingredients provide significantly better protection against the oxidative modification of low density lipoproteins (LDL) than would be predicted from the sum of their individual effects.
=====================================================================================
NEW! Hepasil DTX™
http://www.usana.com/media/File/products/ANZ/0810_PIB_pgs1-55_LR_Part26_HepaPlus.pdf
Hepasil DTX is a comprehensive liver support formula to help promote and balance detoxification processes within the body. Newly reformulated implementing USANA’s Nutritional Hybrid Technology, Hepasil DTX now has an increased dosage to further support your liver health.*
Health Basics
• Milk-thistle extract provides dual action, stimulating liver enzymes and protecting against oxidative stress*
• Additional antioxidants from green-tea extract, olives, and turmeric provide further antioxidant protection*
Why Hepasil DTX?
Detoxification may bring to mind services like body wraps and foot baths, but spa treatments don’t do much for a stressed liver. And the liver can be pushed to its limits by alcohol, cigarettes, and even over-the-counter pain medications. If you are truly interested in detoxifying and supporting your liver long term, you may want to consider the help of exceptional nutrition. Hepasil DTX uses the benefits of milk-thistle extract to help stimulate enzymes in the liver. Various antioxidants like green-tea extract, Olivol®, and turmeric protect against oxidative stress.* And, Hepasil DTX contains advanced doses of other helpful ingredients like alpha-lipoic acid to further support the liver. So if it’s time to help support your body’s natural detoxification process, try the convenience and exceptional nutrition of Hepasil DTX.*

Health is YOUR Wealth:NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements
NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements Consumer Edition Review.
A condensed edition of the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, 4th edition, was released recently. This “Consumer Edition,” is meant for those that don’t need all the technical scientific information contained in the full edition. Briefly, this guide contains:
Ratings for over 1500 US and Canadian supplements and 500 Australia and New Zealand supplements...
Discussion of 18 critical Health Support Criteria
Graphical depictions for top-rated 4- and 5-star products
NutriSearch’s Gold Medal of Achievement award winners...
At first the creator, Dr. Lyle McWilliam,(along with 12 International Scientists) opens with the case for supplementation. Even though the American Medical Association (AMA) has now acknowledged that all adults need a supplemental daily multiple vitamin, many are uninformed of this information and the many further scientific reports that uphold the need of supplementation.
There is also a mounting anxiety among nutrition authorities that the Recommended Dietary Allowances,(RDA) established during World War II, are now way too low for the normal adult’s health needs....
The rationale for supplementation begins with an appreciation of the root cause of most prevalent disease. Dr. McWilliam discusses this root cause being oxidative damage and ensuing inflammatory events and documents how this can lead to major disease such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and many (if not mostly all) other degenerative conditions.
With this in mind, a methodology to rate and score commercially offered supplements is established. Dr. McWilliam assembled a panel of 12 top international experts, who have published one or more works on needed daily nutritional intakes and established a “blended standard” of daily adult requirements in order to evaluate the many products on the market.
Also, 18 critical Health Support Criteria including Completeness, Potency, Mineral Form, Bioactivity of Vitamin E, Gamma Tocopherol, Antioxidant Support, Bone Health, Heart Health, Liver Health (detoxification), Metabolic Health (glucose control), Ocular Health, Methylation Support, Lipotropic Factors, Inflammation Control, Glycation Control, Bioflavonoid Profile, Phenolic Compounds Profile, and Potential Toxicities are included at high level.
Top rated products (Gold Medal awards) are highlighted in two groupings: Single Product and Combination Product. A single product includes a multi-vitamin and mineral, whereas a combination product may include further nutritional elements, e.g., bioflavonoid or phenolic compounds.
The top rated Single Products were:
1) USANA Health Sciences (Essentials) – Editor’s Choice
2) Creating wellnessAlliance (Vitalize Men’s, Women’s and Senior Women’s Gold)
3) Douglas Laboratories (Ultra Preventive IX, IX with vitamin K, X)
4) TrueStar Health (TrueBASIC Solo)
The best Combination Products were:
1) USANA Health Sciences (HealthPak 100 US and CA) – Editor’s Choice
2) Douglas Laboratories (Daily Essentials and Longevity Support Pack)
3) TrueStar Health (TruBASICS Plus for Men and Women)
We highly advise this guide for consumers who acknowledge the mounting dangers in our surroundings and who are seeking the best products available. The full edition is recommended for those who need all the scientific details and evidence backing up this report. A children’s multi-vitaman evaluation is also available in the “Comparative Guide to Children’s Nutritionals,” which compares over 160 US and CA products and 500 Australia and New Zealand supplements...

Vitamins and Minerals: What you need to know by Harvard Medical School
Vitamins and Minerals: What you need to know by Harvard Medical School
Understanding how vitamins and minerals interact in our body gives us a valuable means of taking our health into our own hands. Research into the effects of these micronutrients has been enlightening.
For example, we now know that a large fraction of Americans are not getting enough vitamin D, and the range of consequences may be far greater than we thought.
Recent studies suggest that vitamin D does more than help build strong bones; it may help to prevent hypertension, certain types of cancer, and some autoimmune diseases. We also believe, with an increasing degree of certainty, that getting enough folic acid can counteract some of the adverse effects of consuming alcohol.
Researchers are constantly making such discoveries, and often their findings have far-reaching effects. But it’s worth keeping in mind that while nutrition research can yield powerful answers, it also raises new questions.
Nutrition is endlessly complex, and the research is invariably in a state of flux. Not only do nutrients interact with one another (making it difficult to isolate their effects) but they also interact with genes, drugs, and even lifestyle factors. For some nutrients, such as selenium, there’s a narrow range between too little and too much, and that amount varies from person to person This Special Health Report provides the latest evidence and mineral and vitamin information so that you can make healthy choices about what foods to eat and what supplements to take.
Because nutritional science continues to evolve, this report also contains tips on how to judge new studies on vitamin benefits and put the findings in context. Prepared by the editors at Harvard Health Publications in consultation with Meir J. Stampfer, M.D., Dr.P.H., Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health. 45 pages. (2008)

What’s special about vitamin D? This fat-soluble vitamin is exceptional among vitamins in three ways. First, it has a unique mechanism of action in the body. Second, you can’t get very much of it naturally through your diet. And third, many Americans are deficient in this vital nutrient. That final point is keenly important, in light of burgeoning evidence that vitamin D’s health benefits extend far beyond its reputation for building healthy bones. Over the past decade, studies suggest that adequate amounts of vitamin D may lessen the risk of several types of cancer (including cancers of the colon, prostate, and breast) and may also play a role in preventing high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, and even schizophrenia. And a 2007 meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials showed that vitamin D supplementation may even help people to live longer.
How D is different
Unlike other vitamins, which are antioxidants or key players in enzyme reactions in the body, vitamin D functions in the body as a hormone—that is, a substance made by one organ that sends a chemical message to another organ to elicit a specific response. One of vitamin D’s best-known and important roles is to signal the intestines to absorb calcium into the bloodstream. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body will break down bone to get the calcium it needs—no matter how much calcium you consume through food and supplements. Vitamin D is also unusual be- cause it’s relatively scarce in normal diets. To get just 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D (the current recommended daily amount for people ages 50–71), you’d need to eat about 5 ounces of salmon, 7 ounces of halibut, 30 ounces of cod, or a 6-ounce can of tuna, or drink four cups of milk. Few people include that much fish—or milk, for that matter— in their daily fare. Milk actually doesn’t normally contain vitamin D, but nearly all the milk sold in the United States today is vitamin- D fortified. This practice began in the 1930s to combat rickets, a disease that leads to soft, weak bones caused by vitamin D deficiency. It’s worth noting that dairy products made from milk, such as cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, aren’t typically fortified with vitamin D and contain only small amounts.
In fact, casual exposure to sunlight provides people with most of their vitamin D requirement (see Figure 5). Sunlight contains two forms of radiant energy, ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). UVB provides the energy your body needs to generate vitamin D, which is why it’s known as the “sunshine vitamin.” If you sit outside on a sunny day in the middle of summer at the equator wearing only a swimsuit, your body creates a whopping 20,000 IU of vitamin D per hour. But even people who don’t sunbathe or spend a great deal of time outside probably generate a fair amount just walking outside for short periods throughout the day, depending on the latitude and the amount of skin that is exposed. However, a number of factors—including the season, time of day, and where you live—can affect how much UVB reaches your skin. What’s more, your age, skin color, and sunscreen use also influence your skin’s production of vitamin D. A confluence of these factors can conspire to limit vitamin D levels, which is why a surprisingly large number of Americans—more than 50% among certain groups—are deficient in vitamin D.

VICKS VapoRub - INTERESTING Article
VICKS VapoRub - Very INTERESTING
Dont know who wrote it but it works
During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils.
Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.
Some of us have used Vicks VapoRub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks VapoRub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines.
In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly
Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemicals in them.
This method of using Vicks VapoRub on the soles of the feet was found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bed time. In addition it seems to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.
My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes.So she went from; every few seconds uncontrollable coughing, she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.
If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be amazed at how it works.
DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN LOSE IS YOUR COUGH..

The all-important nutrient, Vitamin D
Vitamin D for Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Crohn's Disease
"Believe it or Not: 80% of Your Immune System is Actually in Your GI Tract"
When looking to effectively promote your immune system health, you need to look no further than your intestinal tract. Learn about a great way to start promoting your digestive health and overall health as well.
To get on the track toward building a solid foundation for your best health, I believe the best place to start is where good health begins – in your digestive tract.*
And the best way I’ve found is by introducing billions of tiny microflora (good bacteria) into your digestive system through the use of high quality probiotics.* Putting back the good bacteria in the gut...
What happens is that the good bacteria go to work keeping your entire digestive system working at its peak while boosting the health of your immune system in the process.*
How do I know? Because scientific research shows that 80% of your immune system actually lives right in your digestive tract...
The all-important nutrient, Vitamin D, may help to reduce some of the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease, new research suggests.
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University note that "Anecdotal data suggest that the amount of vitamin D available in the environment either from sunshine exposure or diet may be an important factor affecting the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in humans."
They decided to test the theory in animal experiments by using mice genetically predisposed to develop symptoms resembling human IBD. The mice were separated into 3 groups.
• One group was made vitamin D deficient
• Another group was kept vitamin D sufficient
• Another group was supplemented with active vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol).
Vitamin D deficient mice rapidly developed diarrhea and a wasting disease, leading to death.
The vitamin D sufficient mice did not develop diarrhea, didnt waste or die.
However, mice who received the active vitamin D supplement had their symptoms of IBD significantly reduced in as little as 2 weeks. It also blocked the further progression of the disease.
Journal of Nutrition. 2000;130:2648-2652
This form of vitamin D is only available as a prescription and it is called Rocaltrol. It is typically used for kidney failure patients as that is where the second hydroxylation occurs to make the pro hormone vitamin active to the real hormone vitamin D.
For those with inflammatory bowel disease who are not responsive to the eating plan this might be something to consider. Additionally I have seen some patients with IBD improve with Probiotics.

My Own Story
I Barbara, lost my health in what was supposed to be the prime years of my life.
I was only 45yrs, fit, active and healthy and enjoying life with my husband James (Jim) our three teenage sons, then my world was turned upside down.
As a result, my career, my family suffered along with me. Traditional medicine and alternative treatments could offer very little to alleviate the intense pain & suffering, or to help me function better... I had tried everything I was shown, you name it I tried it to get off these prescription drugs, but nothing helped…
What happened was I went into hospital in 1990 for a minor operation and came home with a Medical Misadventure Lumbar Spinal injury L3/L4 and L4/L51 and Spinal Stenosis down right side. I was not able to walk without help or crutches, not able to stand up straight because of the pain and had to use prescription drugs 6xdaily, including morphine capsules’ an another tablet to stop the sick feeling I got from the morphine when required just to move, as the pain was so intense in lower back, hips, right leg and foot, I could not take a deep breath without pain...
Then in May 2001 I was introduced to Usana Health Science. Yes I was sceptical after trying everything else that had not worked...I was told by spinal specialist I was heading for kidney problems if I didn’t get of these prescription drugs...
Within 6 weeks from starting the Usana Wellness Program, I had eliminated my dependency on prescription drugs; my spinal specialist could not believe this...I was told I no longer have that pain look on my face, which was unknown to me... Then by three months, I was standing straight for the first time in eleven years and able to walk without crutches…
What I did was start the ‘Usana Wellness Program’ which I still use to-day...
The Usana products have changed my life for the better in both health and finances; I am so passionate about these products now.
I'm not saying these products or any other products are a cure for any illness or disease... Just that giving your body what’s required to work its own magic, as the human body is quite amazing so we are learning...
YES, I still have my Lumbar spinal injury and spinal Stenosis and will for the rest of my life... I am required to have regular medical checkups as I can still have trouble when the Spinal Stenosis kick’s in when walking too much, but very little pain if any these days, unless I do something stupid which I have been known to do, because I feel so good I sometimes forget I have a injury and do more than I should…
Understanding -A New Concept in Nutritional Medicine: Is the first step to prevention and recovery
Most people truly do not understand the concept of cellular nutritional medicine and fewer yet understand the concept of cellular nutrition, I was one of those people until 6 years ago. James and I have since studied nutritional health and the role of supplements in helping to improve your health. I guess it is about and assisting the body to recover by itself if given the right tools, 100% potency-guaranteed Pharmaceutical nutrients/Vitamins/supplements & Antioxidants, (not food standard supplements/products) Prescription drugs only reduce my symptoms temporary; they do not treat the cause...
But helping the body to sort out its own problems is a more effective and lasting solution...
I now enjoy a level of health today that I never imagined possible.
I am so very proud and grateful to be associated with the calibre of company and quality of people that is the USANA family.
Besides the True Health & True Wealth that my family & friends now enjoy...
Both my husband James and I have derived such personal growth and formed such valuable partnerships and friendships around the world, we are truly RICH in every way!
I sincerely invite you to openly try these products for yourself.

*Most researchers agree that getting enough sleep is so important to health!
Pure Rest™ Sound Sleep
Explains what Pure Rest is and what it does, as well as how it works
Pure Rest is a fast-acting melatonin supplement that promotes the body’s natural sleep and wake cycles. Research shows that getting enough sleep can help people feel energized, be more productive, and even increase their odds of living healthier lives. While asleep, the body’s cells and tissues have the opportunity to recover from the previous day.
Many of the body’s major restorative functions occur almost entirely during sleep, including tissue repair, muscle growth, and protein synthesis. Additionally, sleep is required to maintain normal brain and immune function.
Antioxidant Support
• By promoting sleep and inactivity, melatonin allows the body’s natural antioxidant defences to overcome the oxidative stress that accumulated during the day’s activity. Melatonin also acts as a free-radical scavenger, stimulating the activity of several antioxidant enzyme systems in the body.
Immune Function
• Melatonin becomes especially important as we age because daily melatonin production cycles stimulate immune cell synthesis and function, a process that naturally declines as we get older.
Pure Rest: What Makes It Work?
• Pure Rest contains 2 mg of melatonin in a dissolvable, orange-flavored tablet.
• Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that promotes sleep and helps regulate the body’s natural sleep and wake cycles.
• Sleep provides numerous health benefits, including defense against oxidative stress and maintenance of a healthy immune system.
Pure Rest: What Makes It Better?
• The melatonin in Pure Rest is ultra-pure.
• Pure Rest is NOT a sleeping pill.
• Pure Rest is NOT habit forming.

Your Nutrition Is Essential - When you think about it, how strong is your foundation of health?
By adding essential nutrients and antioxidants to your daily diet, you can experience both an increase in energy and an overall sense of well-being. The USANA® Essentials™ supplements are designed to work together to build a strong foundation of exceptional nutrition.
The USANA® Essentials with Patented Olivol: The Most Complete Multivitamin System on the Market
The USANA® Essentials, which include Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral, form the basis for the entire USANA nutritional system.
The Right Ingredients (Comprehensive Formula)
USANA has redefined the meaning of essential nutrients to include not only those that are required to prevent acute nutrient deficiency, but also nutrients that have been linked in recent research to the maintenance of various aspects of optimal health.* The research continues to indicate the benefits of higher iodine and vitamin D. With this in mind, the Essentials are now upgraded:
• Vitamin D daily dosage is increased from 600 IU to 1800 IU
• Iodine daily dosage is increased from 225 µg to 300 µg
The Heart of the Olive®
Many dietary antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, and proanthocyanidins are present and numerous in many dietary sources. But unlike these readily available antioxidants, the phenolic antioxidants concentrated in Olivol®, the USANA patented extract, are found only in olive fruit.
Because olives provide the only dietary sources of these powerful antioxidants, the benefits of olive fruit and olive oil consumption are extensive.

Asparagus - the more I read the more it makes sense - can't hurt. Just take a few minutes and its worth reading.....whether U believe it or not.....
Three types of asparagus on a shop display, with white asparagus at the back and green asparagus in the middle. The plant at the front is Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, is commonly called wild asparagus...
Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article, entitled,
`Asparagus for cancer' printed in Cancer News Journal, December 1979. I will share it here, just as it was shared with me:
"I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years. Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked with him on his project, and we have accumulated a number of favorable case histories.
Here are a few examples.
Case No. 1, man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise.
Case No. 2, a successful businessman 68 years old who suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.
Case No. 3, a man who had lung cancer. On March 5th 1971 he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it. By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared. He is back at his regular business routine.
Case No. 4, a woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed by a skin specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine and no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition. She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus.
I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements of materia medica', edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones. We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy.
For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh. I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Giant Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives. Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator. Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening. Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink. This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.
As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent'. Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals. We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups.
The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink. As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer.
Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and in acting as a general body tonic. In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is a harmless substance. The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good." It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.
Comments: Exactly who Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. is, and what his qualifications as a cancer and nutrition expert are, we do not know, for the simple reason that his name doesn't appear anywhere in print except in connection with this one online article.
The periodical in which it was allegedly published, the Cancer News Journal, no longer exists, but apparently devoted itself to "alternative" cancer therapies. An article with the identical title ("Asparagus for Cancer") and similar if not identical content appeared under the byline "Karl Lutz" in the February 1974 edition of Prevention magazine.
In any case, contrary to the impression given above there are no peer-reviewed medical studies proving that eating asparagus alone "prevents" or "cures" cancer. That's not to say asparagus offers no cancer-fighting benefits whatsoever — there's a good chance it does, given that it contains vitamin D, folic acid, and the antioxidant glutathione, all thought to play some role in lowering risk factors for certain cancers. By all means, eat your asparagus!
The thing is, lots of other foods provide the same nutritional benefits and more besides, so emphasizing one particular vegetable over all the other health-promoting foods available is surely counter-productive. Generally speaking, medical experts recommend a diet high in fiber, fruits and vegetables and low in fats and nitrates for optimal resistance to cancer.
At the risk of stating the obvious, it should also be noted that dietary measures ought never to be regarded as a substitute for proper medical diagnosis and treatment of any disease, especially cancer.
USANA - Live Well Raw Mango Jicama Salad with Sunflower & Pumpkin SeedsDon't you just love summer? I love the warm days and evenings and find myself drawn to lighter, yet really flavorful foods during the summer months.
Here is a raw, amazingly healthy salad that I make at least once a week as the sweet, sour combination is perfect for "cooling" summer lunches or dinners.
It’s quick and easy to make and I double the recipe to have extra – the salad will last a good 3-4 days in the fridge. Leftovers make a yummy quick snack, and
for an additional quick meal, just add spinach and/or romaine leaves.
Live Well Raw Mango Jicama Salad with Sunflower & Pumpkin Seeds
Serves 4-6
Jicama is a crispy, sweet, edible root that resembles a turnip in appearance, but tastes like a cross between an apple and a potato. Cultivated in South America for centuries, and popular in Mexican cuisine, jicama is great in salads, salsas and vegetable platters. It’s a great source of Vitamin C, is fat free, and contains lots of water and fiber – making it a wonderful on the go snack.
Jicama perfectly complements the juicy mango and smooth cucumber in this salad and the vitamin c in the jicama and mango help the absorption of iron from the sunflower and pumpkin seeds, which are great sources of plant protein. You have everything you need in this salad – low glycemic carbs, protein, Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) and fiber!
Ingredients:• 1 medium jicama
• 1 mango
• 1 medium English cucumber
• 1 lime – juice and zest
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar
• 2 tablespoons USANA’s OptOmega Oil
• 1/3 cup raw sunflower and pumpkin seeds
Recipe:
1. Peel the mango, jicama, and cucumber. Cut into bite-size pieces and place them in a large bowl.
2. Squeeze lime over mixture, grate zest, add agave and USANA Optomega Oil*.
3. Sprinkle sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Add sea salt to taste. Toss to coat.
*I use USANA’s OptOmega Oil for any salad that calls for oil. USANA’s OptOmega Oil is the most comprehensive “Essential Fatty Acid” oil blend I’ve seen on the market, as it contains extra-virgin olive oil, vitamin E, turmeric, rosemary, flax, sunflower, pumpkin seed. And it tastes amazing in salads because of all of the above, with a slightly nutty flavor.
In addition, it provides the perfect ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids (crucial for cardiovascular health, immune function, anti-oxidant protection, mental acuity and healthy skin). The EFA’s in the USANA OptOmega Oil are the GOOD fats that help you lose weight – counterintuitive, I know :-) Amazingly good for the body and tastes great – try it one time and you’ll never go back to just plain Olive Oil.
Note: USANA’s OptOmega Oil is an organic, cold, expeller pressed oil (great for vegetarians and vegans as well) – so you don’t want to heat or cook with it. Only use for salads, smoothies and cold recipes – cooking destroys the fragile oils. To order USANA’s OptOmega Oil at wholesale prices, login to your USANA account or contact your local USANA Representative.

Vitamin D Deficiency is Why You Get Flu - deficiencies of the sunshine vitamin, which is being promoted for everything from the prevention of cancer to reducing heart attack risk.Vitamin D Deficiency is Why You Get FluPosted by Dr. Mercola | March 25 2010
A new study has confirmed that vitamin D plays an important role in activating your immune defenses against infectious diseases like the flu.
Vitamin D deficiency has already been linked to a wide spectrum of diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, autoimmune disease and many others.
The new study discovers that activation of T-cells to fight infections needs definite help from vitamin D. When a T cell recognizes foreign invaders like bacteria or viruses, it sends activating signals to the vitamin D receptor gene. The VDR gene then starts producing DVR protein, which binds vitamin D in the T cell. Then the vitamin D bound and activated DVR produces PLC-gamma1 protein -- which allows the T cell to get started fighting the infection.
Dr. John Cannell has also reported that vitamin D helps produce antibacterial peptides that help protect against the flu. That is why in winter, when there is little sunshine, people are more prone to vitamin D deficiency and getting infected with flu viruses.
Statscan finds widespread vitamin D deficiency in Canadians
Survey says 2 out of 3 Canadians have less of the nutrient than the latest research suggests is necessary
The most comprehensive survey ever undertaken on vitamin D in Canadians has found widespread deficiencies of the sunshine vitamin, which is being promoted for everything from the prevention of cancer to reducing heart attack risk.
The survey, conducted by Statistics Canada, found that two-thirds of the population has vitamin D levels below the amounts research is associating with reduced risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, while one in 10, or more than three million people, have such low readings that they don’t have enough for good bone health. About 4 per cent have so little that they’re at risk for rickets, a debilitating childhood bone disease.
Statscan also found a huge vitamin D disparity among Canadians based on racial origin, with whites having substantially higher concentrations than the prevailing levels in the country’s growing non-white population. Whites had an average of nearly 40 per cent more of the nutrient than non-whites.
It termed low levels of the vitamin a “worldwide problem,” and said most Canadians don’t have concentrations at “the level proposed for optimal health.”
It said some of the biggest factors in low vitamin D readings were being non-white and consuming a smaller amount of milk, which is fortified with the vitamin.
Gerry Schwalfenberg, an assistant clinical professor in the department of family medicine at the University of Alberta, said testing showing that “60 to 70 per cent [of Canadians] have inadequate levels [is] not good,” given that vitamin D insufficiency is being linked to so many chronic diseases
The research from the Statscan, conducted as part of a broad analysis of the health of Canadians, is likely to add to the controversy over the adequacy of current advice on the amount of Vitamin D people need to consume each day.
Health Canada, in conjunction with U.S. government agencies, set a recommended daily intake in 1997 based on the relatively low amounts needed for good bone development. The new data indicate that a substantial number of Canadians aren’t getting enough even for this purpose, let alone the far higher levels suggested for the prevention of chronic diseases.
The recommendation also doesn’t differ based on skin type, one of the most important determinants of vitamin D levels. People make most of the nutrient circulating in their bodies themselves, in bare skin exposed to strong summer light – hence the sunshine nickname. Non-whites make less because their skins have more pigmentation, a natural sunscreen.
Health Canada is reviewing whether its advice needs to be revised, but the results aren’t expected until this summer.
In the meantime, many doctors and some public health groups, such as the Canadian Cancer Society, have been advising people to take larger amounts as a precaution, although Health Canada doesn’t endorse this and some medical professionals worry that vitamin D is being overhyped and say its possible benefits need to be further confirmed in drug-style clinical trials.
Statscan deemed readings of 75 nanomoles/litre or more as optimal, based on research showing people with amounts below this threshold appear to be at increased risk for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, heart disease and multiple sclerosis, among other ailments. A nanomole per litre is a count of vitamin D molecules in a litre of blood. But the agency also cautioned that there is scientific uncertainty about this figure, as did Health Canada in a statement.
“There is currently a lack of consensus on the levels considered to be associated with adequacy, inadequacy and deficiency,” Health Canada said.
The average white person had 71 nmol/L, modestly under the purported optimum threshold, while non-whites were far lower, at 52 nmol/L, Statscan found.
Researcher Kellie Langlois said the sampling wasn’t extensive enough to discover whether there was a difference among South Asian, black and Chinese Canadians, or whether non-whites were disproportionately found among those at risk for rickets or poor bone health.
The low levels in people of non-European ancestry worry researchers.
Reinhold Vieth, professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto, said people with readings below 50 nmol/L may have so little of the nutrient that their bodies will scavenge calcium from bones to meet other metabolic needs.
Health Canada says Canadians should take from 200 to 600 International Units of vitamin D a day for good bone health. A cup of fortified milk contains about 100 I.U., while a typical multivitamin has 400. But some researchers say this amount is woefully inadequate. Dr. Schwalfenberg says vitamin D’s anti-cancer benefit “probably begins at 90 nmol/L. That would require at least 3,000 I.U. a day to achieve.”
Vitamin D is needed to properly absorb calcium and phosphorous, but nearly every cell has receptors for it, and it is involved in the proper functioning of hundreds of genes.
Statistics Canada tested the vitamin D in blood from about 5,300 people aged 6 to 79, a sample group it said was representative of the vast majority of Canadians. About half of 1 per cent had readings over 220 nmol/L, indicating high sun exposure, high use of supplements or tanning lights. No one had levels above the 375 nmol/L considered potentially toxic.
Vitamin D: Most Canadians have adequate concentrations
About 5% of men and 3% of women aged 6 to 79 were considered vitamin D-deficient. The highest prevalence of deficiency occurred among men aged 20 to 39, about 7% of whom were considered vitamin D-deficient.
Vitamin D is a nutrient that helps the body use calcium and phosphorus to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. When it is deficient, the body absorbs very little calcium. Deficiency in children can cause nutritional rickets, a condition that results in soft bones and skeletal deformities. In adults, low levels of vitamin D can cause osteoporosis.
The survey found that the vast majority (90%) of Canadians aged 6 to 79 had concentrations of vitamin D in their blood that were considered adequate for bone health.
Conversely, 10% or roughly 3 million people had concentrations considered inadequate; of these, 1.1 million were considered vitamin D-deficient. Men were more likely than women to have inadequate concentrations.
For both sexes, levels of vitamin D followed a U-shape by age group: highest among children and seniors, and lowest at ages 20 to 39. Levels tended to be higher among women than men.

That’s the way I see it from my perspective, and I’ve had some experience in observing dominant individuals, teams, and companies during my 40-year career as a student/teacher of high-performance human behavior.
During the early 1960s, I worked for Ampex Corporation, which invented the video tape
recorder and dominated both the video andaudio equipment market for many years. During the late 1960s, I worked closely with Dr. Jonas Salk, the developer of the first effective polio vaccine, and his prowess as a scientist led me to a lifelong relationship with one of his younger peers, Dr. Myron Wentz. Also, during the late 1960s, I had the privilege of conducting seminars for NASA’s astronauts who were embarking on the most ambitious national mission ever undertaken: the Apollo Moon program.
During the early 1970s I was on the sidelines as the Miami Dolphins dominated consecutive seasons and the Superbowl. And throughout the 1980s, I participated in mental training of our Olympians who dominated the Summer Olympiads throughout that decade. My role in these past milestones was no more than an asterisk compared to the contributions made by the star performers themselves. But my point is this: I have been a witness to greatness.
Since the mid-1990s, fortune has once againsmiled upon me through my association with
USANA. Having record-setting results year after year, the company has reached cumulative Revenues of over $3 billion, and I’ll stake my reputation on predicting that within a few short years, USANA will reach the billion-dollar-a year mark. This is not the result of good luck.
If success was based on luck, Las Vegas would be a ghost town! True success is based on quality and a value proposition. What Toyota is to autos, Apple is to hand-helds, and Google is to data search, USANA is to nutritional and health-care products.
Make sure every new person you meet gets a look at USANA’s accolades list. You can’t
buy those endorsements with advertising dollars. Third-party accolades are earned
by performance.
The key to USANA’s domination is in the quality of the people whose hearts are as big
as the vision they pursue. As you count your blessings around the fireplace hearth as autumn turns to winter, make your own personal dream as big as your imagination can preview. See yourself and your team as dominant players in USANA and the marvelous game of life.
