Healthy Tip
Fats That Might Depress You
Shift your fatty
acid balance in favor of a brighter mood.
Modern diets are high in omega-6 fatty acids — found in meat, eggs,
refined grains, and corn oil — and low in omega-3 fatty acids. New research
suggests this imbalance could be a risk factor for depression. Add more
mood-boosting omega-3-rich foods, such as flaxseeds, fish, and nuts, to your
diet.
What to Do for Cold and Flu Season
At the
first sign of a cold or the flu use the following products:
1. SEASONAL DEFENSE
Powerful Immune Support
Description:
Seasonal changes can be quite stressful to the
body. That’s why it is important to support your immune system. Seasonal Defense
combines andrographis with other immune-supporting herbs, including Fructus
aurantia (six percent synephrine extract), thyme, oregano and eleuthero root for
complete
immune support.
Andrographis has been used for centuries by many cultures. It is
used widely in Ayurvedic medicine and is considered a “cold property” herb in
traditional Chinese approaches; it is used to rid the body of “heat” and dispel
toxins. Andrographis supports the immune system by promoting both specific and
non-specific immune-response functions as well as maintaining the muscles in the
respiratory system. Other studies show that synephrine may be able to help
maintain the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and that thyme and
eleuthero root both have beneficial properties.
Benefits:
•
Helps the body defend against seasonal changes.
•
Contains andrographis to help boost the immune system.
•
Helps support mucous membrane health.
2. ELDERBERRY
DEFENSE
Elderberry Defense is great to have on hand during the cold weather
season as it promotes immune system function and provides essential nutrients
for health. Elderberry contains naturally occurring fruit acids, volatile oils
and anthocyanins. Scientific studies confirm elderberry’s immunostimulatory
activity. Echinacea is the most popular herb in America for the immune system;
it is mild and suitable for all ages. Olive leaf extract provides antimicrobial
activity. Royal jelly is another remarkable nutritive food, produced by young
nurse bees from honey and pollen to feed the queen bee. Each capsule contains a
special blend of elderberry extract, Echinacea purpurea root, olive leaf extract
and royal jelly.
3. IMMUNE STIMULATOR
Put This Powerful Immune
System Weapon to Work
Description:
Immune Stimulator is a blend of natural
ingredients known to support and boost the immune system. Its antioxidant
activity protects the integrity of DNA. This formula promotes macrophage
activity, which strengthens the body’s natural defense system. Immune Stimulator
is a combination of:
Beta-glucans—long-chain
polysaccharides that stimulate the immune system into action. Beta-glucans
increase the production of macrophages, T-cells, natural killer cells and
cytokines.
Arabinogalactan
stimulates natural killer cells and macrophage activity. It also helps increase
the flora of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, two beneficial types of
intestinal flora.
Colostrum
is the first milk produced by mammals before the onset of lactation. Rich in
immune-enhancing transfer factors, colostrum supports the immune system of the
newborn. It helps protect beneficial microorganisms in the intestinal tract to
bolster their defenses.
Reishi mushroom and maitake mushroom
are from the same family (polyporaceae), and their similar polysaccharide
content is thought to boost immune activity, increase the activation of natural
killer cells and activate macrophages.
Cordyceps
protects genes by promoting the integrity of DNA. Cordyceps increases T-cell and
B-cell activity, important to immune response.
For maintenance, take 1 capsule between meals two or three times daily. For
periods of immune system stress, take 6–10 capsules daily.
Benefits:
•
Strengthens the immune system.
•
Stimulates body’s natural defenses to kill unfriendly microorganisms, viruses,
bacteria, allergens, molds and parasites.
•
Increases immunoglobulin proteins in the intestinal tract to combat foreign
invaders.
”My daughter was going through a traumatic time in her life and had lost several
pounds due to stress. We gave her Immune Stimulator, and her immunity stayed
strong. I love the formulation. This
is an excellent product.”—Maureen H., ID
4. VS-C, CHINESE
This
immune supporting formula is a combination that Chinese herbalists would
describe as a “metal-enhancing” formula. These herbs create a favorable
environment for microbial balance and overall health. Developed by Dr. Wenwei
Xie, VS-C is exclusive to Nature’s Sunshine.
It contains the following time-honored botanicals: Dandelion root,
Purslane herb, Indigo leaves and root, Thlaspi herb, Bupleurum root, Typhonium
flagelliforme, Scute root, Cinnamon twig, Licorice root, and Ginseng root.
VS-C is also available in liquid form, with the components of its
dried counterpart extracted and preserved in a glycerin base.
5. GUARDIAN ESSENTIAL
OIL BLEND
Guardian Pure Essential Oil Blend (Lavender Fine
Bio, Ravensara Bio, Roman Chamomile, Tea Tree). These oils act synerfistically
to counter the effects of weakened immunity and fight bacterial, viral and
fungal infections. Not for use during pregnancy.
Testimonial:
“ I have used this essential oil blend numerous
times for a cold or the flu. I mix Guardian with massage oil, or other carrier
like hand cream; spread on your chest and neck. You will be amazed how it helps
your cold symptoms.” - Phyllis
Get Well Cocktail!
With cold and flu
season on the way use this drink at least 3 times a day when starting to come
down with something.

1 tbsp. Colloidal
Minerals
1 tsp. Liquid Chlorophyll
Grab a cup of ginseng tea to help boost your
immune system this winter.
In a study, people who consumed a certain kind of
ginseng daily experienced fewer colds through the winter months. Try ginseng in
tea form for a warm morning pick-me-up. Ginseng may not be advised if you have
hypertension, asthma, or a bleeding disorder. Ask your healthcare provider about
possible interactions if you take medications regularly.
In a recent study, cold-prone individuals who took two 200-milligram
doses of a particular kind of ginseng every morning after breakfast with a glass
of water caught fewer colds from November through February and experienced
shorter and less severe colds than people who took a placebo. Researchers found
that active compounds in ginseng boosted the participants’ immune response. In a
similar study, echinacea — an herb credited with boosting immune function — did
not protect against colds.
There are many
different varieties of ginseng. In the study where ginseng boosted immune system
function, the type of ginseng used was Panax quinquefolium. Another more
common variety of ginseng, Asian Panax ginseng, was not tested in the
study. Real Age
