STUDY GUIDE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE INSIDE AND OUT

Transcription

1 STUDY GUIDE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE INSIDE AND OUT The presentation cards for the Healthy Lifestyle Inside and Out presentation is actually two presentations in one. The first presentation is focused on educating and demonstrating the Arbonne Essentials product line and then briefly discussing the RE9 anti- aging line. The second presentation is focused on educating and demonstrating the RE9 anti- aging line and then briefly discussing the Arbonne Essentials product line. Both presentations use the same opening and closing. The setup of your product display is the same for both presentations. The only difference is if you are doing a RE9 focus and demonstration you will have your guests wash their face and apply the RE9 cellular renewal mask prior to starting the presentation. The goal of both of these presentations is to offer a service to our clients. A service of EDUCATION. We want to explain first why these types of products are needed, secondly we want to explain why they should switch their brand to Arbonne. This document is going to provide a more in depth explanation of why these products are needed and what sets Arbonne apart from all other products in the market today. If you study the contents of this document before you use the presentation cards you will be able to share these two incredible product lines with CONFIDENCE.

2 ARBONNE ESSENTIALS: WHY DO WE NEED THESE KINDS OF PRODUCTS: WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Americans are over nourished but malnourished (not enough of the right kind of nutrients and biotics we eat a lot of empty calories). The #1 killer of both men and women in the United States is heart disease. 2 out of every 3 North Americans are overweight, obese or morbidly obese and the problem is getting worse. 1/3 of our children are obese. Obesity is the leading cause of PREVENTABLE death! Americans spend over 100 billion on medical care related to obesity!! These problems lead to diabetes, hypertension, strokes, dementia, Alzheimer s, numerous cancers, cravings, constipation, acne, fatigue, Irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's, and numerous autoimmune diseases like lupus, arthritis, etc YOU CANNOT OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET. You have to decrease your toxic load and increase your nutrients to truly obtain a wellness state creating health! WE NEED TO DETOXIFY OUR BODIES So why detoxify how does it help you? Bath tub analogy >>Our body is like a bathtub, the water faucet brings (toxins in); and the drain (lets the toxins out). When it is running at a normal pace, we don t have as much of a problem. When we are in overload and the drain is plugged, the tub gradually fills up and spills over the sides. This is when people get SICK and you are given a MOP (medicine) which can add more toxins & have side effects. We believe most people want to lose weight and feel good but they don t REALLY understand how to achieve true health & vitality. Toxins are what lock up the fat cells! To have effective weight loss, we have to unplug the drain (detox) by nutritionally cleansing. When you get rid of the toxins the FAT CAN MELT AWAY! SIMPLY PUT Toxins come from stressors like emotional distress, the environment, processed foods, extra weight and being inactive. Stress leads to toxic build up which leads to inflammation which leads to the disease process. Decreasing stressors/toxins will decrease inflammation which will decrease disease breeding ground creating health!

3 WITH OUR HEALTHY LIVING PLAN WE ARE GOING TO ADD 5 KEY AREAS OF FITNESS INTO OUR LIFESTYLE: EAT CLEAN we focus on more organic whole foods free of preservatives, additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, artificial flavors and other toxins, Food is either fuel or poison. INCREASE NUTIRENT INTAKE because of fast food, prepackaged foods the US is the MOST overweight, malnourished country out there!!! We are carrying toxic fat while our bodies are starving for real nutrition we will reverse this condition. DECREASE ALLERGENIC and ADDICTIVE FOODS we will decrease allergenic foods like gluten, soy, dairy and processed sugars. BALANCE BLOOD SUGAR we will eat to balance our blood sugar to reduce food cravings. SUPPORT EILIMINATION ORGANS we will support the body s four elimination pathways the liver, kidneys, intestines and your largest detoxifying organ, your skin. Letting these organs perform optimally! Remember, WE are TURNING THE FAUCET OFF/slowing it down stopping/slowing the TOXINS coming into our BODY while unplugging the drain CREATING HEALTH!!! If you lose weight and do not decrease the toxins in your body your body actually becomes more toxic because the distribution of toxins to body weight is higher. Think of a tablespoon of salt in a gallon of water vs a tablespoon of salt in a cup of water. The beauty of using a healthy nutritional cleansing system like Arbonne is that you are eliminating toxic stores from the body while losing weight (Teaspoon of salt in a cup of water) When the concentration of toxins increases the body tries to protect you by storing the excess toxins in fat, it will create more fat if you do not have enough to accommodate all of the toxins thus leading to more weight gain!

4 There are 3 ways for toxins to enter your body Food and Drink Air we breathe Products you put on your skin Which do you think is the most damaging? (Most will say Food) Actually it s the skin because topical application is absorbed into the bloodstream within 26 seconds and the toxins go through the entire body before they get to the liver to be filtered out. Arbonne has you covered inside and out. Our philosophy is WHOLE BODY HEALTH! GOOD THINGS TO KNOW: FAST FACTS! YOU CANNOT OUT EXERCISE A BAD DIET. You have to decrease your toxic load and increase your nutrients to truly obtain a wellness state! Eating 3 healthy meals and healthy snacks will help you lose weight not skipping meals. What we are teaching prevents drops in blood sugar (keeps your sugar balanced which prevents cravings & binges) and keeps your metabolism pumped up. Small meals prevent your body from going into protection mode from lack of nutrients and stops your body from storing extra fat. Stressors are the root source of disease Stress on the body causes inflammation which is at the root of many disease processes like heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, colon problems, auto- immune disease, etc. Being sick is expensive! Americans spend over 100 billion on medical care related to obesity alone. Lowering your body weight by as little as 7% can take away a medication. A typical hypertension regime is over $10,000 a year! The BEST FACT is: You are in control of 90% of your health? Genetics is only 10% of body appearance & overall health. Training and Exercise is 10% Nutrition is 80% of your results!

5 WHY USE ARBONNE INSTEAD OF JUST EATING CLEAN? You could purchase and prepare healthy food choices that decrease toxic load and increase nutrients for all meals, snacks and drinks. However, this takes a lot of time and money and most will not do it! Or YOU CAN BE VEGAN 2/3 of the time and LOVE IT! We show our clients how to SAVE BOTH TIME AND MONEY by choosing the Arbonne essentials. Arbonne has done all the work and has made eating clean EASY and affordable!! We provide complete, balanced nutrition that maximizes absorption and effectiveness. We deliver RESULTS while being PURE SAFE and BENEFICIAL WHY USE THE BRAND ARBONNE? WHAT SETS US APART? Top 5 reasons: We do not use Whey or Soy as our protein source we use Yellow Peas, Cranberry and Brown Rice Protein We do not use artificial sweetners we use Stevia which is an herb We do not use any Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) We are Gluten Free We are Vegan Certified WE DO NOT USE WHEY OR SOY AS OUR PROTEIN SOURCE WE USE YELLOW PEAS, CRANBERRY AND BROWN RICE PROTEIN Whey & Soy vs Arbonne Vegan (yellow pea, brown rice & cranberry) Protein Soy is allergenic, cannot be used to build muscle because of its low incorporation levels, it contains phytoestrogens that can lead to estrogen dominance which leads to fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, increase risk for chronic disease and feminization of men. Whey is a milk derivative, it is allergenic (not just a milk allergy), it is loaded with bovine white blood cells. it is HARD TO DIGEST so it can deposit in the intestinal track and colon and it can lead to long term kidney and liver problems. Arbonne Vegetable (yellow pea, brown rice & cranberry COMBINED) protein is the most easily digestible protein, without the allergic reactions (100% hypoallergenic) that dairy & egg protein creates. Because it is so digestible, it decreases gas and bloating and can be absorb and used to create muscle, promote healing, etc. Arbonne Protein has an Amino Acid Score of 100 = HIGH QUALITY! Amino Acid Score is a method for evaluating the relative nutritional quality of different protein sources based on the protein digestibility and usability. If you can't digest it, you can't USE IT or ELIMINATE IT properly! Amino Acid scores <100 = Low quality protein sources. Amino Acid scores >100 = HighQuality.

6 WE DO NOT USE ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS We use Stevia which is an herb that is 200 times sweeter than sugar and does not raise blood sugar. WE DO NOT USE ANY GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMOS) Genetically Modified Organisms are plants that have been genetically altered by artificially changing the plants DNA. These genetic alterations allow the plant to be resistant to pesticides that are sprayed on the fields. The pesticides kill all the surrounding weeds but the pesticide soaked GMO plant survives. Another type of alteration is done to make the plant produce its OWN pesticide this pesticide is in every cell of the plant. WE ARE GLUTEN FREE Gluten is a protein found in the grains wheat, barley, and rye. Most of us unknowingly love it, because gluten gives our favorite foods that special touch: It makes pizza dough stretchy, gives bread its spongy texture, and is used to thicken sauces and soups. A severe reaction to gluten is called celiac disease. People with celieac disease treat gluten as a malicious invader and mount an immune response, the problem is, this immune reaction ends up damaging the small intestine, which causes both great gastrointestinal distress and nutritional deficiencies. People with a milder reaction to gluten have a gluten sensitivity. Gluten sensitivity doesn t damage the intestine but does cause gastrointestinal distress like stomach cramps, diarrhea, and bloating. If you are sensitive to gluten, it is not only important to avoid gluten in your diet but also in the products you use on your body like skin care and shampoo. If gluten is contained in those products it is absorbed into your bloodstream! WE ARE VEGAN CERTIFIED Many know why vegan certification is important for the food we eat, but why is it important for our skin care? Vegan means no animal ingredients or animal by- products nothing that is produced by an animal including eggs, milk, etc. Most skin care products have animal products and by products. Animal byproducts come from animal rendering processing plants (centers): Rancher wants to sell Grade A meat, Grade B meat dog food, Cows too sick to be fed to human or dog/cats goes to rendering or Cow just dies of natural causes covered in maggots goes to rendering, Horses too Road Kill Opossum, dog, cat, squirrel, deer also go to rendering Euthanized animals collars/needles (don t have labor to remove) (drugs are in the animals) also go to rendering. Used Restaurant Grease Grocery Store Spoiled Meat all goes to rendering plant.

7 Rendering Plants are a Necessity to dispose of these animals but it doesn t need to be used for human consumption or absorption! All are put in Grinders whole form skin, hoofs, maggots, and poop boiled down to brown goop that then is sold off as filler for cosmetics/shampoo/vitamins Shimmer in lipsticks are often fish scales If your product doesn t say VEGAN it doesn t matter that it says natural, animal feces is natural, it probably contains rendering plant product It is not easy to tell if you are using products that include animal byproducts. For example: have you ever heard of stearic acid in your ingredients? Stearic Acid is a fat from either a plant or an animal source. So unless it says vegan it s probably rendered animal fat. Skin is the largest organ of our body. What we put on our skin is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, without being filtered by the liver and kidneys first! Why in the world would we put something on our skin or our lips that we wouldn t eat? Arbonne doesn t add artificial fragrances or perfume because we have nothing to hide perfume is often used to hide the animal smells. ARBONNE IS FREE OF HARMFUL CHEMICALS AND MINERAL OIL The sun is the worst thing for the skin in aging it prematurely Mineral oil is next in line mineral oil is the same thing as Petroleum Jelly The molecular structure is too large to penetrate the skin so it just lies on top of the skin and seals it Mineral oil seals out the good ingredients that may be included in the product, so you are not benefiting from the good ingredients. Mineral oil seals in the toxins that we want out of our bodies thru our skin. Like saran wrap around our skin drying it out and not letting it breathe Dr Oz says that Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of oil drilling, and when you spread it on your lips; you end up eating it, which is essentially the same as drinking gasoline. Add up the amount of lip gloss the average woman uses (and consumes) over a decade, and it equals 7 pounds. The European Union has banned many petroleum jelly products, and experts are concerned they could be linked to cancer. Women with breast cancer have twice the levels of hydrocarbons (substances found in petroleum jelly) in their breasts than women who haven't had breast cancer. Arbonne uses essential oils (e.g. rose oil, olive oil, etc) Arbonne goes by European Standards Just like the US if go to EU (European Union) website you will find cosmetics are not regulated but unlike US they have banned 1100 products from being used in cosmetics/skin care because they find them to be harmful to humans.

9 Probiotics are simply good bacteria that we want in our intestinal track. Our digestive system normally has what we would call "good" bacteria and "bad" bacteria.
