10 HEALTHY RESOLUTIONS FOR 2010

by Cheryl Diamond
(Schererville, Indiana)

The holidays have come and gone, with the parties, delectable treats, and all too often, overeating. However, each new year brings new possibilities for change and growth. If your weight management plan needs sprucing up, now is the perfect time to dig in and make healthy resolutions for a healthy you in 2010.

1. Make A Healthy Weight Management Plan And Stick To It.

We all have good intentions every year to maintain a healthy weight and feel great. The key is sticking
to the plan you’ve created. Be specific about what you want to accomplish. Instead of “exercise a lot,” write down how much, how of often, and what types of exercise you’ll do.


2. Cleanse and Detoxify.

Be sure first cleanse and detoxify your gastrointestinal system, so you get the most out of your food and supplements.

3. Get Plenty of Rest.

The best of healthy intentions can be delayed by a lack of sleep. When you’re tired, it is a lot more difficult to get out of bed for that morning workout and eat who grain toast and yogurt instead of a donut. Get the
rest your body needs so you can make the best decisions for your health.

4. Eat A Healthy Diet.

Support your health through a diet rich in whole grains, complex carbohydrates and lean proteins. Also make sure that limit the amount of sodas and fruit drinks in your diet. Drink plenty of water instead.

5. Exercise Regularly.

Regular exercise does not have to mean jogging five miles every day. Especially when you are just starting out, a brisk walk around your neighborhood for 20 minutes four times a week is a great way to start. Be sure to incorporate light weight training as well to support the strength of your muscles.


6. Support Your Immune System.

When your immune system is in the best shape possible, the rest of your body can function as it should. Support your healthy immune system with the correct Transferceutical products.

7. Include Antioxidants In Your Diet.

Study after study touts the benefits of antioxidants for overall health. Fruits, vegetables, and even pine bark are great sources of antioxidants.

8. Develop A Great Support Network.

It is always easier to stay on track when you have people supporting you. Talk with your spouse to make sure the cupboards are filled with healthy snacks, instead of junk. Walk everyday with your neighbor. Make sure you have the support you need to be successful with your healthy resolutions.

9. Seek Balance.

Stress,. While a natural part of life, can often become overwhelming if not handled properly. Set in place good techniques that will help you find balance in your life. Relax on a regular basis by reading a good book, listening to music, or even meditating.

10. Have Healthy Expectations.

Setting realistic expectations for yourself is just as important-if not more important-than the resolutions themselves. Deciding that you are going to run three miles every day (when you have trouble walking around the block) is neither realistic nor healthy. Starting out slow and steady, while staying committed to your resolutions, is the best way to achieve overall success.

Maintaining a healthy weight takes commitment and hard work. But it’s worth it so you can enjoy life with health and vitality for years to come.

Here is wishing all of my friends a healthy you in 2010!

New Year New You!

Home Business Owners in the USA.

by Bronwen
(Saratoga Springs, Utah)

I've been helping some new Home Business Reps lately and I have to tell you, I'm impressed with the excitement that my enthusiastic trainees are oozing my way!

These individuals are marketing some of the more popular MLM products in the United States, and they generate quite a bit of income just from selling products... without having to bring in a downline.

But let's say you are a Rep who wants to Build an Empire.

Quickly building a downline may be eluding you. Everyone is more than happy to host a party for you, and you have several people at each party who each buy something - which gives you a one time commission.

Face it ladies (and gents), this is MULTI-LEVEL Marketing. You don't have to do it all by yourself.

You're afraid of becoming the "crazy MLM" person in your neighborhood so you don't do anything but push products and half mention that there's an opportunity at the end of each presentation because you don't want to chase, bug, or beg (and who can blame you) and lose what precious product sales you can get from your limited warm market...right?

I'm right. Don't try to tell me I'm not. *Wink*

There's a solution. You don't have to change much about your presentations either.

Imagine offering some free information about how they can market this opportunity and these products to the whole country (or the whole world!) with the click of a button.

Most people shy away from MLM because they don't want to bug anyone. They don't want to convince anyone...and quite frankly, doing MLM the old fashioned way is not as part time as anyone promised.

So let's imagine you, and your downline, creating a place on the internet to promote your stuff, and your opportunity in a non-threatening, appropriate way that does the sifting and sorting for you allowing you to manage follow-up with thousands of people without impeding on your ego, or your family time.

Do You Like That Idea?

It's a good one.

Now, imagine that you don't have to create the training system, or even your web-site from scratch. It's already built for you, all you have to do is plug in your own words and follow some marketing steps and it's ready to share with the world.

Pretty great idea right?

You're actually ON a site right now that offers exactly what I just described. No bugging anyone, just referring - quite literally - people to your website and letting them do their own decision making without any pressure from you or your upline.

No more calling the one person who has shown a little bit of interest to see when they want to make a move.

In Fact. People Will Contact YOU To Ask You If They Can Join You.

You'll even get paid when they get the training that they need anyway. It's only fair that you should. It's part of running a home business isn't it?

Just a little something to think about.

It's time to enjoy building your downline. This should be really fun.

Are You Getting Enough Nutrients?

by Cheryl Diamond
(Schererville, Indiana)

How well have you eaten this week?

Did you know that even though we are the most overweight nation in the world, we are one of the least nourished?

Most of our diets are completely inadequate, in some age groups 80% of the people were undernourished, and didn't hit even the minimum daily requirements of vitamins and minerals just to sustain life, much less for promoting optimal health.

Even a marginal nutrient deficiency can disrupt our energy and well being.

It is just wise to arm yourself with a good comprehensive multivitamin every single day, to help close any nutritional gaps we may have.

Why Have You Given Up Before You Succeed?

by Cheryl Diamond
(Schererville, Indiana)

Here’s a word of encouragement for those of you struggling with regaining your health:

The process of weight loss or of normalizing blood sugar or of renewing your energy is critical in losing weight.. People are, in fact, inspired by the you-can-do-it” speeches, but long-lasting change comes only when people were moved to implement specific processes and strategies. Focusing on our goals only offer us short-term encouragement , and that long-term success comes only when we looked at one day at a time, writing down our menus for the week, eating one meal at a time.

For as long as I can remember, the self-help speeches told us to just “visualize” achieving our goals. I know that I actually put models pictures on my refrigerator and every time I want to eat, I look at that picture and visualize myself looking just like that, and I then put back the piece of chocolate cake.

For vanity purposes we all want to look our best, but it goes way beyond the way we look and feel. We can come up with so many reasons as to why we want to look good, and write them down and reread them several times a day, but the bottom line is how we want to feel. It people only knew how good healthy feels, they would make more of an effort to lose that unwanted weight.

Here we are in 2010, having been sold these ideas for a generation or more, and we are fatter, sicker, and weaker than ever in our history. There is so much hype over diet pills and how popping them into your mouth is the quick fix, and that their miracle pill is the pill we are all looking for. They advertise there is no need to change anything, eat the way you have been eating, and regardless of no exercise, this pill will change your life. What could more farther from the truth? We need to face the facts, we need to start eating better, and start moving our behinds more. When the most exercise an average person does is change channels on the sofa, you know there is definitely a need for change.

Do we need goals? Absolutely.

Do we need encouragement? Without question.

But do we also need to settle down and get to work in order to reach those encouraging goals? I think that you know the answer to that question.

We need to focus on our goals and how we are going to achieve them.. This includes when you wake up, how long you’ll exercise, what you’ll eat for breakfast, what you’ll have for snacks, which supplements to take, etc. You don’t need anything elaborate, just a few simple strategies to keep you on track.

Keeping your goals in mind, and taking one meal at a time will help keep us focused on long term goals. Sure, we all feel like falling off the band wagon, but if you do, just get back on your schedule the next day. There always will be temptation, in the way of celebrations, with cake, picnics in the summer, with pie and ice cream, but if we don’t have inspiration to get back on track, that is when we lose interest, and then end up gaining more weight than we wanted to lose in the first place. Pictures of your inspiration on the wall will not get you through. What we then need is good old fashion willpower and the commitment to succeed at that weight loss goal. Unless you have that desire, you will not commit to the end result.

Here’s your question:

What do you feel undermines your health success most?

Is it that you start too strong and can’t maintain that level of commitment in the early months?

Is it that you start too weak, and you don’t see enough success to inspire you to keep on going?

Is it a lack of willpower when it comes to sweets? Is it the physical pangs of eating less food? Or, is it simply not understanding what you’re supposed to do each day?

I think that by answering these , it will give you a better idea of why you fail and what you can do to get yourself on the road to successful weight loss.

Sometimes, we need a diet supplement to help us achieve our goals.

Notice I did not say diet pills.

Diet supplementation gives our bodies what it needs to achieve weight loss. We need added nutrients, along with a ingredient that gives us just a little more energy, and reduces our appetites just a bit.

4 Life Research has a wide arrange of diet supplements available to help you with your needs. If you need help deciding which is best for you, please contact me and I will help you. I have had much success with our products which made my weight loss much easier, and I would like to offer you the same.

Digestive Enzymes for Proper Nutrition

by Cheryl Diamond
(Schererville, Indiana)

Did you know that enzymes run every function in the body?

Digestion to detoxification, enzymes are absolutely critical for digestive health.

By taking supplements and exercising you are on the way to good health.

Think about this:

Cooking food at high temperatures kills all the important enzymes in food.

Most canned and bottled food almost have no enzymes, because they are so highly processed.

This is not good, because enzymes digest your food properly and you get all your nutritional needs from your food by combining enzymes with all of your meals.

Without it we would not benefit from any of the food we eat, and we may be at risk for stomach disorders.

Enzymes break down protein, fats, and carbs.

Enzy-Rite® (60 capsules)

• Balances digestive enzyme levels within the body

• Contains 4Life’s proprietary Nutrient Delivery System (NDS)to ensure efficient absorption of nutrients.

We have a great digestive enzyme here at 4 Life Research which combines a probiotic, along with the powerful benefits of Transfer Factor.

Enzy-Rite does not contain a probiotic.

The Skin Detox System That You've Been Praying For.

by Natanya Nielsen
(Saratoga Springs, Utah)

Skin Detox is important!

Those of us who have studied our bodies know that our "machines" are designed to flush toxins out through our skin.

What most people don't consider is that the elements and pollutions around us have a massive effect on our skin's ability to cleanse properly.

It's just too clogged up with junk!

Moms just need to feel good to be good moms. We need to feel pampered sometimes. We need our bodies to work right, to ward off depression, anxiety, and to help us maintain patience with our wonderful children along with our other responsibilities.

Detoxing helps with all of that.

To help your skin detox more effectively, and help move things along a little faster I'm recommending the Seasource Spa Set from Arbonne.

It's excellent, made from the healthiest botanicals, and your body will thank you for using it.

This set will last you for quite a long time, you might even want to go in on it with a friend or family member and share the spa experience together.

What Are We feeding Our Pets:

by Cheryl Diamond
(Schererville, Indiana)

Pet food companies have some of the cutest commercials I have ever seen.

I was looking at an old kibbles and bits commercial and I couldn’t help but smile the whole way through.

Unfortunately that commercial had nothing to do with the food but everything to do with the cuteness of dogs’ noses.

So if these commercials have nothing to do with the food then we can’t depend on them to provide us with the best and healthiest choice of food for our dog.

Cheap Is...Well, Cheap.

I know many people that go to the local department store and buy the cheapest dog food they can find.

These people are not even reading the labels on the pet food.

They have no clue what the ingredients are but they believe that because it says ‘pet food’ on the outside it is good enough for their dogs.

I don’t understand those people, some have been close friends. Their only argument they have when I tell them their dog food is not that good for their dog is, “it’s just a dog”.

Not Just a dog.

Then there are other people who look at their dog as an actual living being who needs proper nutrition to stay alive. These people tend to think they are doing the best for their dog by listening to their vet’s advice, the pet stores advice, or even those cute commercials that they get sucked into.

Unfortunately the vet, pet store, and commercials are not always right.

A lot of these foods can make your pet unhealthy. Actually a lot of these foods don’t offer very good nutrition for your dog at all.

But you can’t understand that unless you read the ingredients and understand what they are and what they do for your pet.

Ingredients. Read 'em.

There are also the people that do read the ingredients while choosing a dog food.

Some people know what these ingredients are and what they mean but there are also some people who know what most of the ingredients are but don’t understand what they offer their dog in the way of nutrition.

For instance corn is a big ingredient in a lot of dog food but does corn offer your pet actual nutrition or is it just a filler that’s used to save the pet company money?

The first ingredient is the biggest part of your dogs pet food. Is corn the first ingredient on or is it meat?

Which do you think your dog logically requires more of?

Sometimes the information is right out in the open but because we don't look for it we don't take it into our consideration.

We expect these companies to be forthright and tell us exactly what's in the bag by writing it on the bag.

The following piece of information is taken straight off of the fda.gov site in the animal and veterinary news and events section.

‘The low levels of sodium pentobarbital that dogs might receive through their food are unlikely to cause any health problems, according to an FDA study.

Pentobarbital is an anesthetizing drug used for dogs and other animals, such as horses and cattle.

Because it is also widely used for humane euthanasia of dogs, cats and other animals, the most likely way that pentobarbital could get into dog food would be in rendered animal products.

Rendered products come from a process that converts animal tissues to feed ingredients.’

This is just one of the many things that you may or may not be aware of. Crazy right?

So start researching your dogs food and encourage others to do the same.

Our pets are suffering from more disease than ever and it’s time we put our foot down and start taking action when it comes to their nutrition.

There’s a ton of information out there to help you make the decision about the best food to feed your dog.

Always incorporate a good multi-vitamin complete with all the nutrients they need for added support.

I was talking to a friend just the other day and she mentioned how she saved a lot of money just by adding Transfer Factor to her pets daily routine.

She said it only cost her .77 cents per day to give her dog added immune support.

Her total veterinarian bill for the year was only $50.00 for an office visit because the dog was so healthy.

I will be very happy to assist in choosing the right food and supplementation program for your dog or cat.

Benefits of Eating Green Vegetables

by Cheryl Diamond
(Schererville, Indiana)

EAT YOUR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:


Why are the scientists looking for new drugs to reduce or eradicate cancer, when we have answers in our own refrigerator? Scientists have proposed that we all eat fruits and vegetables daily. The American Cancer Society even recommends we eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day to prevent cancer. They don’t teach us why it is so good for us, there is no research there to back this theory, but it is common sense and we must wake up and start giving our bodies what it needs to overcome those dreadful diseases.



If physicians knew more about nutrition and the effect it has on our health, he or she would recommend that we eat more antioxidant rich foods, and leave the junk food behind. They would then reason how active ingredients in vegetables are chlorophyll and that very substance can have substantial effects on our health if eaten in correct amounts.
It might even help the health condition the physician is trying to manage.

YOU ASK HOW IS CHLOROPHYLL IMPORTANT TO OVER-ALL HEALTH?

If chlorophyll is extracted from spinach, broccoli, and kale and consumed on a daily basis it has been discovered that if either eaten cooked or infused through a juicer, it reduces the effects of poisoning we get from certain foods, such as wheat, rye, corn, peanuts, and potatoes.


We are falsely led to believe that dietary information dispensed in medical science is advanced. In reality, it is in its infancy. Their belief that diet and disease are not linked should have us all rethinking our approaches to wellness. Fear not, because with time comes change; many physicians are questioning the unhealthy effects of soda pop and candy bars, children consume in massive amounts. It will take some time, but change is underway.

I know it is very difficult to get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables everyday, but 4 Life Research has made it easy with out Bountiful Harvest Plus, it is a simple concept of putting concentrated vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients which comes from whole plants into a super formula. It will promote immune system wellness, and improve overall health.

It would cost us about $1.17 per day, and when you consider how much vegetables cost per lb. it is much more economical to get your daily dose of greens,through supplementation. Also, when you buy in quantity, how often does it spoil even before you have time to eat it?

If unsure, please call me and we can discuss it further,
