It might be hard for some of us to get to the gym or exercise at home on a regular basis.  That being said, the rewards we get personally when we exercise can be very, very good.  In addition to the healthy benefits for our bodies, our minds and moods fare well with exercise.

We live in a fast-paced world and we are busy almost every minute of the day.  When we do get a break, we might want to collapse on the couch, or we are just too ‘tired’ to think about more activity.  Exercise gives us energy and can improve our mood and mindset so it is to our benefit to make time in the day to exercise.

The mind body connection of exercise and mood can be helpful to people who are sad, depressed, stressed or feel down.  There seems to be more stressful people these days, probably due to the economy but also due to many varied factors.  There are millions of people who are depressed and exercise may help.  Ongoing research shows that when people get active, it can dramatically change their mood.

“A 2007 study in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine found that exercising helped people recover from depression better than medication. The connection between exercise and being happy is due, largely in part, to chemical reactions and nerve growth in the brain.

“Research has shown that exercise increases the amounts of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, two important chemicals that can elevate mood. In fact, many of the prescription anti-depressant medications try to increase these chemicals as a way to improve mood,” says Dr. Amarish Dave, certified neurologist. “Research has shown that a nerve growth factor, VGF, increases in exercising brains, this nerve growth factor is believed to be important in elevating mood.” (taken from https://www.qualityhealth.com/quizzes/exercise-mood-1508?poll=1508&rf=31819&emailPID=main_article&mc=MTU4NDE3Mjg.)

Personally, for non-life threatening health issues, I would rather try natural supplements or natural activities such as exercise, relaxation, sleep, and healthy diet choices, to see how they will impact how we feel and how we can improve our health without medications that many times have other side effects.

More Testimonies* from people who use this brand (in no way associated with claims to cure disease).

Diverticulitis

“I am a medical transcriptionist; I have diverticulitis, which had become burdensome to say the least. I have been using Shaklee products and I know they are good. A week ago today I started taking one teaspoon of Shaklee’s new product, Vivix. During the past week, I have not had one episode of explosive symptoms, no left-sided pain or cramps. I do believe it is safe to say that Vivix is helping.”
~Mary Ann T.

Rapid Healing

Gary started on the Vivix on a Wednesday and had dental surgery to prepare for a tooth transplant five days later. 9 days later he had a follow up visit and the dental surgeon called in some of his staff to show them that the healing process looked like it had been 4 months instead of days. He said that he had never seen anything like it before and was calling his mother-in-law who is a Shaklee distributor so that he could get started on Vivix.

Ability to Focus

Susan S. began using Vivix on a Saturday morning and within two days noticed a marked improvement in her ability to focus on one task at a time through the day. This had always been an issue for her, beginning one thing after another and having difficulty completing any. She was absolutely amazed to be so clear-headed, focused, and energetic the first week. Viva Vivix!

No More Pain Meds to Sleep

Tom and Nancy started Vivix together. After about a week, Tom noticed that his ankles no longer hurt. He had broken them both as a youth playing sports. Tom is 65 and arthritis hit his ankles during the past year. He had to get up and take pain meds so he could sleep. After taking Vivix, he no longer needs pain meds to sleep.

Tremor is Gone

Linda D.’s brother in law who is 75, and recently had some physical problems, got a strong tremor on his right hand. He started Vivix, his only Shaklee product, and within a few days his tremor is gone and he is writing normally again. He is duly impressed and thankful.

Torn Rotator Cuff

Lynn S., from Georgia, reports the following: “Tears come to my eyes as I write this. Shaklee has brought out a product that is unlike anything I have ever seen. Two years ago I fell and tore my left rotator cuff and ripped the ligament off the bone in my left thumb (I am left-handed). Three months later the doctor operated on the thumb and re-attached the ligament to the bone. Six months after that, my other doctor operated on my shoulder. When I woke, he told me that when he got in there he found a ‘frozen shoulder’ so he cleaned up the area a little, but wanted me to use the arm immediately or I would never get full range out of it again. Two years later, I still have pain in my shoulder and it hurts to lift it totally straight to my ear. My thumb is always sore and the joint is swollen at the knuckle and also hurts in the joint above it. I have been on Vivix for a week now. I was driving down to see one of our daughters who is in college when I realized that my thumb did not hurt and that the joint was not swollen! I almost ran off the road I was so startled with this realization. This was two years of discomfort that I thought I would have to live with for the rest of my life. (At 57 that was not something I looked forward to.) I can’t wait to see what else Vivix restores in me! Remember, it works at the cellular level. I have already noticed that my fingers don’t feel so “tight” in the morning when I wake up. Praise God and thank you Shaklee!”

Testimonies* started to circulate soon after Vivix, the world’s only cellular anti-aging tonic, was introduced on 8-8-08. You have to understand, the very first users of this natural resveratrol supplement were primarily loyal brand users. They know the science, research, and clinical testing behind each and every product. They know of the safety of this brand that conducts thousands of quality tests on individual ingredients. They know of the quality of the ingredients and how that quality is responsible for maintaining products that really do perform. And they know that the company does not introduce a product unless it has been proven in their own scientific studies to work.

And so the testimonies* continue to come.. have a look at just four (more to come).. and be prepared to say, “Wow!”:

Diabetes Testimonial – No More Leg Cramps and I Can Feel My Toes Again!

“.. I am diabetic with all the problems that go along. One of my greatest fears is losing my legs as my grandfather lost his from diabetes. I suffered severe neuropathy in both my legs and feet. In addition to that, I had 3 stints put in my left leg last summer and was diagnosed with PAD. I was experiencing severe leg cramps nightly. Hardly a night went by when I wasn’t awakened by them and had to jump out of bed and walk around. This would happen several times a night. Since taking Vivix, I have not been awakened a single evening with a leg cramp. So wonderful! And I can feel my toes again. They no longer feel like wooden appendages down there. Bless Shaklee and Vivix! I now experience full nights of restful sleep.”
~Cathi

Arthritis Pain – Now Pain Free!

“… I am now 72 and have been experiencing an elevated amount of joint, muscle and back pain.  It has grown over the past several years to aggravating proportions affecting sleep and most movement.  I was using up to 16 pain relief tablets a day to control this growing pain.  It worked to quench the pain but the pain itself showed no signs of letting up.  Then, in early August, Shaklee Corporation introduced Vivix, a fabulous new longevity tonic with resveratrol and super grape extracts.”    ~Martha

Five weeks later and Martha, quoted above, is pain free!  She takes no other pain relief tablets.  She uses the prescription for health plan products recommended by the brand’s director of medical affairs (Vivix, Vitalizer, Cinch & Nutriferon) on a daily basis and is enjoying being able to move again without pain anywhere.

Cancer Story

Let me relate a story I heard today about a woman who had cancer 10 years ago and refused chemo, deciding to go the natural route using Shaklee and other alternative approaches.  She has done extremely well for many years.  When Vivix came out, her friend told her about it.. she sent the information to her doctors and normally they would send her an email response.  But not this time!  They called her and told her to, “not walk, but RUN to get this product and start taking it immediately!”    ~Lorri

Inherent Essential Tremors – Fast Results

“I am 72 years old and have had essential tremors since my early 30’s.  The shaking and tremors became so bad that I had to quit my job as a lab technician in 1989.  When in high school I could type 60 words per minute.  For the past 15 years, in order to type, I had to hold my right index finger with my left hand and type one key at a time.  At times, the tremors were so pronounced that I had difficulty eating and drinking.

I have faithfully used Shaklee supplements since November of 1998 and added the Vitalizer when it was introduced.  I also take CoQHeart twice daily along with B-Complex.  There was very little improvement.  I started taking Vivix on August 23rd.  In a week and a half, I noticed the tremors/shaking had lessened.  Now, at three weeks of Vivix, my tremors/shaking are minimal!  I have to learn to use my hands again – I have to learn to type again with all my fingers!!

I was hoping a change would occur in two to three months on Vivix, but never expected these results in three weeks.”    ~Anne

Age Spots and Pain – and Other ‘Side Benefits’

“Although I’ve been on an excellent anti-inflammatory supplement and diet program for over ten years, I’ve still had some aches and pains that just haven’t gone away.  I’ve been using Vivix for about two weeks now and have had tremendous relief of all of the achy pains that used to plague me!  I’m especially relieved not to have pain around the arthritic bone spurs I have on the joints of my spine and hands.  This is a blessing in and of itself.

However, the other day, I got a phone call from a friend of mine who started using Vivix when I did.  She said her age spots were going away.  ‘What!!! Hold the phone!’ I said.  It looked like mine were lighter too!!  Now, several days later, I can say for certain that some of my spots are gone and the rest are much, much lighter.  I’ll bet they’ll all be gone within a week.  I’m also noticing much more energy and I’ve been sleeping better (less pain).  Better sleep, more energy, no pain and no spots!!!  Hip Hip Hooray for Shaklee!”    ~Dr. Sandy

Destroy Pancreatic Cancer Cells.  Counter the effects of aging on our Hearts.  Our Bones.  Our Eyes.  And Our Muscles.  Can resveratrol make a difference? Billions of dollars are being spent right now studying resveratrol and how this natural antioxidant found in grapes skins and red wine can help us prevent the diseases of aging, and live longer, better quality lives.  Most of this money is focused on a pharmaceutical product that is at best probably 5 years away.  We do have a natural resveratrol supplement, a cellular anti-aging tonic, available right now and what a head start we can have in the new exciting world of resveratrol.

In 2008, the University of Rochester released the results of a study on resveratrol and how it can help destroy pancreatic cancer cells.  We talked before about how resveratrol can impact the key mechanisms of aging, one of these key mechanisms of aging being mitochondria (the cell’s core energy source) in the cells.  In the study, resveratrol was found to cripple the function of these cancer producing cells.

Study results posted on http://www.bio-medicine.org/biology-news-1/Mounting-evidence-shows-red-wine-antioxidant-kills-cancer-2618-1/ included this statement:  “The findings, published July 3, 2008, in Cell Metabolism, may increase interest in resveratrol as a possible intervention for age-related declines, said NIA scientists. The authors emphasized, however, that their findings are based on research in mice, not in humans, and have no immediate and direct application to people, whose health is influenced by a variety of factors beyond those which may be represented in the animal models.”

In July, 2008, A Harvard University study conducted and supported in part by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, found that resveratrol slows age-related deterioration and functional decline of mice on a standard diet.  This study is a follow-up to 2006 findings that resveratrol improves health and longevity of overweight, aged mice.

A review of the study that was posted on http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080703120402.htm.  I found the following very interesting and potentially a huge help for so many folks:   “A major finding of the study reported today is that resveratrol prevented age-related and obesity-related cardiovascular functional decline in the mice as determined by several parameters. Total cholesterol was significantly reduced in 22-month-old non-obese mice after 10 months of resveratrol treatment, although triglyceride levels had only a slight, non-significant trend toward a decrease. Further, the aortas of 18-month-old obese and non-obese mice treated with resveratrol functioned significantly better than untreated mice.  Resveratrol also moderated inflammation in the heart.”

There have been many scientific research studies on resveratrol, and they are ongoing.  In addition, we have hundreds of resveratrol products that have been put on the market.  The problem is that many (maybe most) are not manufactured by companies that do their own research on resveratrol, nor are they a formulation that will actually be assimilated by the body and be able to produce desired results without unwanted side effects.  For example, on such side effect is a digestive issue with some resveratrol products.  This is due to a lower quality product and an ingredient source that is not pure.

Our brand has spent years of their own research on resveratrol, and partnered with the world’s foremost anti-aging scientist who works for Harvard University, to develop a unique resveratrol blend that also includes polyphenols from a super grape.  This muscadine super grape has an extra chromosome that no other grape has, and that is associated with anti-aging.  The combination, similar to many of this brand’s products that are complexes, or blends of synergistic ingredients, enhances the performance of all ingredients.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends, loyal readers, and first time visitors (please come back!).

Valentine’s Day is the traditional day of love where we think about and plan something special that we will do for our special someone. And then there are our mothers, fathers, children, grandparents, a special aunt or uncle, special friends.. the list goes on.. we may want to express our love for more than one person for sure.

For me, Vivix is now associated with a gift of love. First, since 8-8-08 when Vivix was introduced, my husband and I have been taking our teaspoon per day with the goal to keep the diseases of aging far away from us, and have been experiencing some benefits already in the form of weight management, more alert and focused all day, better joint function, great sleep at night, and overall feeling of well-being in what has become for many a very stressful time during this period of economic disaster and uncertainty. We think it makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift to each other to order next month’s supply!

I gave a few boxes of Vivix to my parents at Christmas because I want them to stay healthy and to ‘be around’ for many, many years to come! At 80 and 74, it seemed like a perfect gift to give them to help them with some present health challenges and prevent other diseases of aging like diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Guess what, for Valentine’s Day, another box is going their way! My father is now calling it his ‘Fountain of Youth’.. don’t we all want a Fountain of Youth* at 80 years of age?

****As a special gift to you.. for taking the time to read my post (thanks very much), I would like to give everyone who orders their own Fountain of Youth* box of VIVIX today, a special gift. I will send you a tube of another unique product from this brand that folks have been using from ‘head to toe’ for many, many years. It is our special formulation multi-purpose cream and is one of the favorite products of the brand. For relief from all kinds of skin discomforts (truly from head to toe and every place in between), this mentholated cream is absolutely awesome!****

(I will get confirmation of your order from Shaklee and personally mail your gift to you.  It must be ordered on 2-14-09)

Baby boomers listen up!  The scientific study of the aging process has had some remarkable breakthroughs!!  Two posts below this post is a short video of the CBS 60 Minutes segment on aging, and on the next page of this blog is a clip from the Barbara Walters Living to 150 television special.. both detail this exciting research.

We have, right now, an anti-aging choice that is light years ahead of every other resveratrol product available on the market.. 10X more powerful than resveratrol alone.  This video explains more about what we have learned about the aging process through years of studying how we age.

How did we do this?  After years of anti-aging research, 56 years and million of dollars of scientific research as our legacy, and the development of a unique and patented formulation of resveratrol and polyphenols from a super grape, the world’s only cellular anti-aging product was born.

Those people that are famiiar with this brand did not have to think twice about getting it in their hands and taking that first teaspoon.  That’s because of the trust we have in the company, the fabulous results we get from the other products this brand has offered for over half a century, and of course our desire to live a longer, better quality life.

For new people to the brand, there is a 100% money back guarantee on every product.  That has always been offered and yet rarely utilized because you get the benefits you want from the products.

Next post.. Vivix testimonies have started pouring in..

Let’s take a step aside from the primarily healthy benefits of natural nutrition content on this website, and talk about another worthy benefit we have, and that is the ability to offer people who want it or need it, the opportunity to join us, share this brand that helps so many folks, and receive some income benefits that can truly help in the challenging economy we have today.

After attending the World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland last week, our CEO has announced a country wide Infinite Possibilities Tour next week in our effort to reach 1 Million people in 2009 to offer a home business opportunity with a company that is growing.

We are part of SIX major growth trends that are trended to continue growing.

Health, wellness, anti-aging, the green movement, safe and effective weight loss, and the opportunity to earn income from home are all desirable industries on their own, and we have them all.

Below is a flyer so that you can see how this can impact people who need income right away. For the first time in company history, they have implemented a weekly pay option where part of the traditional monthly income is paid out on a weekly basis to get new business owners in immediate cash flow. The balance is still paid out monthly and the numbers on this example page can be duplicated over and over again. Have a look:
