Sweet on Antioxidants

Reach for a certain sweet dried fruit for some extra antioxidants.

 
Dried figs are high in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help keep your heart and blood vessels healthy. Eating just 5 or 6 dried figs per day helps you meet your daily fiber and fruit requirements while satisfying your sweet tooth naturally.

Eat the Good Carbs

Eating the right kind of carbohydrates may help you

lose weight.

 

Although diets that restrict carbohydrates promote weight loss in the short term, there may be a better recipe for long-term health. A new study suggests eating plenty of high-fiber, low-calorie whole grains helps prevent overeating and long-term weight gain.   Increasing bran, fruit, and cereal fiber intake helped stave off weight gain over time as well.  Real Age

Healthy Tip

 

Are you trying to drop a few pounds?

 

Try this approach:  instead of focusing on what to not eat, focus on adding a least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables to your daily  diet!!  Don’t skip a single serving!  If you make a point of fitting 5 in, you will eat less of everything else.

Researchers administered 3 mg of melatonin to 32 participants every evening, 30 minutes prior to bedtime.  After three months of treatment, 78 percent of the subjects reported the frequency of their migraines was cut in half.  None reported an increase in headaches.  The study also reported that the duration of migraines was shortened with melatonin.

 

 

 

So Long Summer, Hello Class
Prepare Your Kids for a Healthy, Happy School Year

by Nathan Tingen

 

It may still be hot outside, but the summer sun is heading down earlier nowadays. Many changes signal summer’s end, but perhaps the biggest sign is our kids’ return to school.

Your children may not be as excited about “back to school” as you are. But school exposes our kids to new ideas, experiences and opportunities to grow and stretch their minds and bodies. The knowledge and experiences they gain will shape their lives and mold them into adulthood. With all of this important development taking place, it’s wise to help give your children the nutrition they need to make the most of this school year and of themselves.

Essential Vitamins for Growing Minds

Everyone should take a good multivitamin each day. Children’s growing bodies have special needs. Nature’s Sunshine offers three choices to meet those needs.

VitaWave Liquid Vitamins and Minerals
VitaWave provides 100 percent or more of the Daily Value for 17 important vitamins and minerals in a base of healthful herbs, amino acids, plant-derived trace minerals and antioxidants like lutein and lycopene. Flavored with natural black raspberry, you can mix it with water for an easy, great-tasting vitamin drink.

Keeping the Focus on Learning
Most kids are full of energy. With the summer days just past, some children may find it more of a challenge to concentrate on learning with playgrounds and good weather beckoning through the window. Available in both capsules and powder, Focus Attention provides Ginkgo biloba, DMAE and Melissa officinalis to encourage restful, balanced mental activity and normal brain function.   Focus Attention comes in powder or capsule.  Stock No. 1833-4 (capsule)  Stock No. 1843-0 (powder)

More than a Fountain of Learning

Does Sarah always cover her mouth when she coughs? Does Johnny forget to wash his hands? Does Amy always seem to have a runny nose? For all the good that school does for our children, it also exposes them to things they might not otherwise face. Help nourish your kids with all-natural immune-supporting products from Nature’s Sunshine.

Herbasaurs Chewable Elderberry Plus

Cardio Assurance

(Stock No. 801-5)

 A Valuable “Life Assurance” Policy

 

Cardio Assurance is a blend of heart-benefiting ingredients designed to protect the heart and heart cells from damage. This product combines the benefits of the following nutrients known to support healthy heart function.

            • Hawthorn (Crataegus oxycantha) Extract. Hawthorn is the most-researched herb for heart and circulatory health. It is effective in maintaining normal heart function and regular heartbeat, mainly due to the abundance of flavonoids that proffer potent antioxidant and heart-protecting effects. Hawthorn helps keep the blood vessels clear and supports the free flow of blood.
            • Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) Extract. Red clover is a concentrated source of isoflavones, with a level tenfold that of soy. These isoflavones can promote artery elasticity, improving cardiovascular health. Red clover also promotes the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, also known as “good cholesterol”).
            • Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) Extract. The most widely reported health benefit of ginkgo is its positive effect on the brain and nervous system. Ginkgo rapidly crosses the blood–brain barrier to exert action on the central nervous system. It increases blood supply to the brain because of its vasodilatory effects, thereby increasing oxygen supply to brain cells and heart muscles.
            • Capsicum (Capsicum frutescens). Capsicum increases circulation of blood to peripheral tissues, ensuring that nutrients are delivered to needy areas. Capsicum also supportsbloodflow.

            • Folic acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. These nutrients work synergistically to help break down homocysteine, a building block of arterial plaque. Scientific studies have shown that supplementing with these vitamins helps the body maintain safe homocysteine levels. Vitamin B6 also aids in the synthesis of coenzyme Q10, a heart-protecting compound.

            • Choline Bitartrate. Choline is required for the proper metabolism of fats. It supports removal of fats from the liver, where they affect metabolism and the synthesis of essential compounds. Choline also helps clear fats from the walls of blood vessels.s.
            • Taurine. This amino acid helps regulate heartbeat, among its other functions.
