Facebook. In case you haven t made the plunge into the world of social media yet it is not too late. I know some of you are adamant in your reluctance or maybe even thinking and hoping it will just go away. Well it is not going to go away so maybe it is time to reconsider and give it a try. It really is very easy and can be a lot of fun. Over the past few years I have found social media sites like Facebook a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, reconnect with long forgotten people from the past, and share thoughts and ideas with people with common interests. All you need to get started is a computer and a little instruction. Many find the best resource to be their children or even grandchildren.

2 CELEBRATE WITH US! Feel Full Fast Obese people receiving supplements of Omega-3 fatty acids while following a weight loss program experience a feeling of fullness for longer. A recent study demonstrated Omega-3 fatty acids assist in weight loss. The study recruited over 200 overweight and obese volunteers with an average age of 31. Some were given high doses of the Omega-3 fatty acids and studied for a course of eight weeks. Researchers noted that immediately after the meal, and up to two hours later, the people who consumed the most Omega-3 fatty acids reported feeling less hungry. In other words consuming Omega-3 fatty acids at each meal resulted in a person getting full faster as well as staying full for at least two hours after the meal. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats are called essential because they cannot be made by the body, but are essential to health and longevity. Typically Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cold water fish such as mackerel, sardines and salmon; the Omega-6 fatty acids are found in plants like borage and evening primrose. It is important to always maintain a healthy balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in the body. EFA Formula provides all of the benefits of the Omega-3 plus the Omega-6 plant oils. Both of these oils are essential for good health and the proper balance to each other is also very important. EFA Formula provides all the benefits of the Omega-3 fish oils plus the Omega-6 plant oils in an optimal ratio. Essential fatty acids have long been recognized for their benefits for circulation, heart health, brain support, protection from neuropathy, healthy skin and hair, and weight control. *Keyword: Parra EFA Formula 90, 180 softgels 2 *Learn more!

3 CELEBRATE WITH US! Underactive Thyroid Causes Heart Attacks In Women Women with underactive thyroid function appear to be at increased risk for death from heart attack and other types of heart disease. These findings were published in the recent issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine. 15% Evidence continues to suggest that as thyroid function drops, blood pressure and cholesterol levels increase, as does the risk of heart problems. This was a study of over 17,000 women and 8,000 men. At the beginning of the study none of them had heart disease, thyroid disease, or diabetes. At the end of seven years it was noted that women who seemed to have normal thyroid function, but had less active thyroid glands were 69% more likely to die from heart disease than women with more active thyroid glands. This association was not seen in men. Today no studies have been conclusive that thyroid supplementation can protect against heart disease, but there is strong evidence showing a healthy thyroid will reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body weight and promote health and longevity in both men and women. 10% Thyroid Formula is a safe, natural, non-hormonal support that helps nourish and support the thyroid. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism and with age metabolism often slows down, resulting in depression, fatigue, delayed reflexes, poor concentration and memory, hair loss, dry skin and weight gain. Thyroid Formula is Doctor recommended and has no known side effects. It should be taken by anyone wishing to promote healthy thyroid function. *Keyword: Asvold Thyroid Formula 60, 120 capsules IHL Essentials Good-Nite Sleep 60 tablets Sublingual tablet that quickly releases melatonin for a full night s rest.

6 CELEBRATE WITH US! Vitamin B12 Prevents Canker Sores Canker sores are painful ulcers of the lips and mouth with no effective drug treatment. A recent study concluded that Vitamin B12 is safe, effective and inexpensive as a treatment for recurrent canker sores. Researchers studied the effectiveness of B12 as a treatment for canker sores. Compared to the placebo, those taking Vitamin B12 supplements significantly reduced pain, the number of ulcers, and duration of outbreaks during the six months of the study. Moreover, these benefits were not affected by the patient s blood level of B12 at the start of the study. In the last month of the study, almost 75% of Vitamin B12 treated patients were free of canker sores. Clearly the role of Vitamin B12 supplements in treatment and prevention of canker sores is dramatic. Vitamin B12 is also important for blood sugar control, memory, neuropathy, circulation, vision and more. Blast B 12 contains 5000 mcg. of B12 in one easy to swallow pill. For years it was believed that B12 could only be taken by injection, or in small dots under the tongue. Blast B 12 delivers B12 at a level comparable to a B12 injection. It is a safe and natural Doctor recommended supplement for anyone seeking the benefits of B12. *Keyword: Volkov Blast B-12 30, 60, 90 tablets Stress Causes Belly Fat A recent study correlated the relationship between visceral (belly) fat and its relationship to metabolic syndrome and heart disease. Previously research demonstrated that chronic stress leads to hardening of the arteries and plaque buildup. Under chronic stress the hormone cortisol is secreted by the adrenal glands which cause increased visceral fat and larger fat cells. Visceral fat refers to belly fat and fat deposits on internal organs. Stress increases visceral fat in overweight individuals and it was noted that lean individuals under chronic stress had increased visceral fat as well. Chronic stress takes a lethal toll on everyone. Stressed Out is a safe natural supplement formulated to promote health for individuals suffering from chronic stress. Stressed Out contains the complete spectrum of all B Vitamins plus antioxidants and energy support. *Keyword: Shively Stressed Out 30, 60, 90 tablets 20% 6 *Learn more!

7 celebrate with us! Vitamin Prevents Heart Disease Pretreatment with high doses of folic acid, a component of Vitamin B, reduces cardiac damage when blood flow to the heart is cut off as in a heart attack. In a study at Johns Hopkins, animals were divided into 2 groups; some received given folic acid and others did not. Next, researchers blocked the main coronary (heart) artery for 30 minutes. Whenever any coronary artery is blocked, the heart suffers damage from lack of oxygen. The animals pretreated with folic acid experienced far less damage than the others. Researchers suggest if human studies prove equally effective, then high doses of folic acid should be taken to guard against heart attacks. Common sense dictates everyone take a good multiple vitamin rich in folic acid everyday to prevent heart attacks and reduce cardiac damage in the event of a heart attack. In addition to cardiac health, folic acid has been shown to improve circulation, decrease risk of stroke, promote memory, support the Immune System and prevent birth defects. Daily Extra is a comprehensive multiple vitamin, mineral and micro mineral supplement rich in antioxidants, folic acid as well as all the B vitamins, chromium for sugar and carbohydrate metabolism, and more. It makes no sense to take an individual vitamin or mineral unless the foundation is built. Daily Extra is the foundation for good health for men, women and children. In addition, Daily Extra is an excellent prenatal vitamin as well. *Keyword: Kass Daily Extra (available in Iron Free) 30, 60, 90, 180 tablets 15% Tastes Great! 20% New Product Lines Launching *Learn more!
