Good Health: Right Food - Supplements - Right Supplements

Rule for Good Health 1.  EAT NATURAL FOODthat is:      FRESH Food that is fresh is not canned or frozen.      LIVE Cooked foods are dead foods!  Cooking destroys enzymes.Enzymes are like the spark plugs in a car.  They activate the metabolic process that converts food to nutriment for the body. Foods that are uncooked – raw - are the most nutritious. WHOLE Nutritious food is also food with nothing added and nothing taken away. WHOLE FOODS(food that is natural, fresh, live and complete)CONTAIN COMPLETE NUTRITION(present within that specific food). More than 90% of the foods on the average American table have been tampered with in some way. Vital nutrients have been taken out or destroyed. Rule for Good Health 2.  SUPPLEMENT YOUR DIET Government statistics show that 50% of our population is malnourishregardless of the age or socio-economic level.  As much as 99% aredeficient in minerals. Food most Americans eat will sustain life but won't sustain health; six of the ten leading causes of death (heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, stroke and obesity) are related to diet - nutrition. NUTRITIONAL INSURANCE IS A NECESSITY. Rule for Good Health 3.  CHOSE THE RIGHT SUPPLEMENT Select your supplements based on the same criteria used in selecting theright food for good health.  TheShaklee Corporation nutritional products - Vitamins and Minerals, Soy Protein, Meal Replacements (Meal Shake), etc. - are made from high quality concentrated whole foods. They are manufactured with low heat and low pressure to keep high enzyme activity in the supplements.  Specific nutrients such asVitamin C, Vitamin E and B-Complexare concentrated whole foods that contain the full spectrum of what is found naturally in food high in those nutrients.  Vitamin Cfor example is a complex that contains the right amount of bioflavonoids and hesperidin for the body's maximum use of theVitamin C. Vitamin Eproducts usually contain only theD-Alpha Tocopheral. The ShakleeVitamin EisVitamin E and SeleniumIt is also a mixed tocopheral (every tocopheral – every form ofVitamin E- is present in it).  Selenium is needed forVitamin Eto be utilized.  ShakleeVitamin Ecan be purchased withgrapeseed extract.B Vitaminsare often purchased as separate - isolated - vitamins such asB6, B12, Folic Acid, etc. Taking a singleB Vitamincan cause the body to dump otherB Vitamins. It is very important to take aB-Complexinstead of isolatedB Vitamins.  However, mostB-Complex Vitaminsare short onBiotin.  Biotinis an extremely importantB Vitaminbut it is expensive. Shaklee B-Complexis complete (contains every knownB vitamin)and contains 100%+ of the Daily Value of each one including the expensiveB Vitamin - Biotin. The FDA classifies the Shaklee Nutritional Products as food.  The other nutritional products are classified as drugs.  People get results from use of the SHAKLEE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS – THE RIGHT SUPPLEMENTS.

"I took the label off the canister of  theMeal Replacement(Meal Shake) to my Doctor.  He said that would be very good for me and that many of his patients are on Shaklee products!"
