"Let Your Food Be Your Medicine, And Your Medicine Be Your Food."

We live in one of the most affluent, prosperous, and privileged societies the Earth has ever known. Yet, the overall health and physical well-being of the average American is far worse today than even a decade ago.

For instance:

- Over 66% of our nation’s adults are overweight.*
- Almost 80 million adults have some form of cardiovascular disease.**
- 10 years ago, America had the 36th longest life expectancy in the world. Today, we rank 46th.***
- Many doctors now describe themselves as “sick care” providers, not health care providers.

These startling facts raise serious questions about our health as individuals and as a nation. And they’re motivating many concerned American’s to ask ...

“What can I do to protect myself and my family from this deadly cycle of sickness and disease?”

Some nutritionists believe the first step is to determine whether your body is in efficiency or survival mode.

Most people in our society consume plenty of calories. But if those calories are largely “empty” – meaning they contain little or no nutritional value – they will trigger the body's survival responses. So survival mode is caused by a lack of the essential nutrients your body needs to maintain proper health.

A body in survival mode may suffer low energy levels, decreased metabolism, high body fat levels, unbalanced hormone levels, and a decrease in lean skeletal muscle -- essentially a weak and inefficient “machine”.

Efficiency is the state in which your body is getting what it needs, when it needs it. So your body receives the message that it is safe, that food and nutrition are abundant, and you’re free to enjoy an active lifestyle.

A body in efficiency mode will enjoy youthful energy levels at any age, naturally increased metabolism, reduced or low body fat levels, more balanced hormone levels, and an increase in lean skeletal muscle – effectively a very strong and incredibly efficient “machine”.

So your goal is to achieve a state of supreme efficiency and avoid lapsing back into survival mode.

But, to move forward, you may have to go backward ...

Doctor’s have been treating the symptoms of disease for years ... and the result is our present state of deteriorating health. But what if you could change your starting point? In other words, rather than treat diseases and symptoms after they appear, why not attack the root cause of disease and poor health before they ever have a chance to develop?

That’s where this simple concept ... “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food” ... could provide the answer you’ve been looking for.

To enjoy living in efficiency mode, you need to follow a program that feeds your body on a cellular level. You must get the proper nutrients in proper form to defend, strengthen, and fortify the body before problems set in.

The Total Wellness and Vitality program from Herbalife delivers all the essential nutrients you need directly at the cellular level, creating a foundation for healthy living and providing all the tools necessary to achieve total lifelong wellness and vitality.

In addition, Herbalife's program helps shield and protect your cells against the harmful effects of stress, pollution, and environmental toxins.

Your simple 3-Stage Wellness and Vitality Program.

In Stage 1, you’ll balance your body with all the necessary vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants, proteins, phytonutrients, and digestive support needed to send a positive message of change to all your body systems.

Stage 2 will address your unique, specific conditions based on your health history, genetics, and habits. The Targeted Nutrition product line will address your specific needs, from men’s issues, women’s issues, digestive issues, high cholesterol, skin care, more aggressive weight loss goals, and any other common conditions you may need to address.

And finally, at Stage 3, you’ll enjoy the Total Wellness and Vitality that comes from committing to and following a sound cellular nutrition program. And it all starts with one simple idea: “Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”

This year, 910,000 Americans will die of heart disease.** The incidence of congestive heart failure has tripled in the last 15 years*, exceeding 7,692 per week according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Over 70 million Americans live every day with some form of heart disease including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, angina (chest pain), heart attack, and congenital heart defects.** Coronary heart disease kills more people in the United States than the next 7 leading causes of non-violent death combined.†

Fortunately there’s a simple program empowering men and women to take control of their heart health by following a simple, easy-to-use plan. And, along with a few minor changes in daily routine, some people on certain medications can even stop taking them after just a few short weeks.‡

Lenny writes – “... I had neglected a lot of things because I felt tired and sluggish all the time ... my health improved so much that I was able to get off all the medications I had been on within a month.”

What’s the secret?

5 protective supplements put the power to control your heart health back in your hands!

Taken in conjunction with weight control and a healthy diet, Herbalife supplements provide advanced nutrients for comprehensive support and protection of your heart and cardiovascular system. For instance, Herbalife’s Core Complex puts the power of heart health back in your hands by providing 5 essential heart healthy supplements in one convenient packette. With each packette you’ll get:

1 - Plant sterols, shown to reduce LDL or “bad” cholesterol for less buildup in your arteries.

2 - B vitamins to support healthy homocysteine levels for healthier arteries.

3 - Tocopherols, quercetin, and alpha lipoic acid, a powerful 1-2-3 punch for maximum antioxidant protection against heart disease.

4 - Tri-Shield® with Neptune Krill Oil (NKO®), for enhanced nutrient absorption and a powerhouse of antioxidants to help protect cell membranes.

5 - Herbalifeline with EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids, shown to reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides and may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

“I feel empowered now to take care of my heart health ...I have control over my heart health ... by limiting my risk factors.” - Gina K., World Team Member

In addition, Niteworks® Powder Mix triggers essential amino acids in your body while you sleep. These amino acids produce Nitric Oxide, which can provide a cascade of beneficial reactions for improved circulation, immune, and nervous system functions. Niteworks® is rich in vitamin C and natural vitamin E to support cardiovascular and circulatory health.1

Mega Garlic Plus gives you maximum antioxidant garlic power in one, easy-to-take pill for healthy circulation and a healthy heart!
