I've found the best home-based business opportunity that combines an excellent compensation plan with the finest products. Let me share with you some testimonials of others working with Nature's Sunshine.
Betty Hearson, a Senior National Manager, says that when she discovered Nature's Sunshine she was bedridden and barely able to survive on welfare. She learned about herbs and decided to take her electricity and phone money and she bought herbs with it. She didn't know how she was going to pay her bills. Her third bonus check was for $3,400. She thought it was a mistake, and that it was someone else's money. She hasn't looked back since.
Listen to what Alex Brensike, a National Manager with NSP has to say. "There isn't a better opportunity out there. So many people out there are looking for the next big opportunity, the next big and fast moneymaker. I wish people coulde see that we have a great opportunity right here. Of course, we help people with their health, but we also offer them the financial opportunity. You show me soemone who can't pay his bills and I'll show you stress, depression and desperation. The Nature's Sunshine opportunity helps alleviate these problems, too."
The NSP compensation plan is very clear about what we earn. People have to just DO IT. Get out ont he street, talk to people, explain the business and you will see the results, says Zoila Canales, Area Manager.
Bill Page, also a National Manager, first became acquainted with NSP in 1980 (yes, they've been around that long). At the time he was suffering from multiple health concerns and struggled financially to make ends meet. He collected unemployment and owed money to just about everybody. Within a year of joining NSP, his health improved and he was able to pay off all of his debts. He then got an unexptected letter from NSP announcing that he had qualified for a trip to Hawaii. A little while after that he got another letter telling him he had qualified for a new car.
"I spend most of my time building the businesses of my downline and it's more fun than ever" says Pat Cassidy. It's taken perserverance, but hard work has paid off. Nothing's better than owning your own business and being your own boss.
Ivy Bridge claims the success to her business is to be honest, sincere and have a real desire to help people. After you begin to do that, your business just grows. One person tells another, and you build your business. She says that we owe it to people to share the opportunity with them.
Want to be able to work from home? Ruby Lawler, now a National Manager at Nature's Sunshine Products, is able to work from hoe and center her life on her children. Isn't that what so many parents would like?
After earning a degree in marketing, Sarah beth Wilcox went on to work in geothermal thechnology. Despite a good salary, she finally decided she wanted to be home with her children. She new an Herb Specialist who ran a very successful business from her home. When she saw her doing it full time, she got the inspiration she needed. You shoud, too. Now other people see her doing it and realize they can, too.
Paul Tsui was working as an engineer where he oversaw the development of the newest and fastest microchips in the world. He decided that he was missing out on some of the important things in life. He chose to become a full time herbalist. Not only have he and his wife opened a second store, but they've been able to spend the important hours with theirs sons that they'd been missing.

Here's a high calorie snack that is OK for your waist. If you love nuts, but you're worried about the high calories, here's one treat that won't do serious damage to your waistline: Peanuts.
In a recent study people were given a daily snack of peanuts and it was found that no one's weight changed significantly after may weeks despite the extra calories. It seems that peanuts fill you up, thanks to the protein, fiber and fats, but they don't necessarily fatten you up. The fat and calories in the nuts aren't completely absorbed by your gut.
We burn off the fats in peanuts better than we burn off the fats in potato chips or cookies. Our bodies break down the monounsaturated fats in peanuts and convert them into energy more easily than saturated fats.
So you can have your peanuts, those good ol' peanut butter and jelly sandwiches of your youth and not worry too much about your waistline expanding. Yet another tasty treat we needn't eliminate from our diets.
I myself love the chunky variety, but some think the creamy is the way to go. One type to stay away from is the hydrogeanated type. When buying a commercial variety, look for the natural types. They tend to separate and seem more oily, but once stirred up, they're great. I've also tried making it in my Vita-Mix machine. It's a noisy, somewhat sticky endeavor, but worth the effort.
Submit any tasty recipes you have for adding peanuts to your diet. Of course, just plain ol' nuts (or legumes) in the shell are great, too.

THE ABC'S OF VITAMINS
Thirteen compounds have been classified as vitamins. Of these, the five most important for disease protection, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, are vitamins B-6, B-12, D and E and folic acid.
VITAMIN A helps you see in the dark. It stimulates production of white blood cells and regulates cell growth and division.
The body can manufacture vitamin A from beta carotene, which is found in carrots and many other fruits and vegetables. Vitamin A can build up in the body, so it is possible to take too much. Excessive amounts can increae the risk of hip facture and some birth defects. The recommended daily intake of vitamin A is 5,000 IU for men and 4,000 IU for women.
B VITAMINS There are eight B vitamins, of which the most important are B-6, B-12 and folic acid. All three play key roles in recycling homocysteine (a protein breakdown product) into methionine, one of the building blocks for new proteins. Adequate amounts help to prevent strokes.
In addition, folic acid has been shown to reduce the risks of colon and breast cancers (especially for those who drink alcohol), and to prevent birth defects such as spina bifida.
The recommended daily intake for folic acid is 400 micrograms per day. For vitamin B-12, it's six micrograms.
VITAMIN C is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralize harmful free radicals (which cause aging and cancer). It helps make collagen, important for healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin C has shown col-fighting potential, but there is as yet little evidence to indicate megadoses are helpful. The recommended daily intake is 90 milligrams for men and 75 milligrams for women.
VITAMIN D helps ensure the body absorbs and retains calcium and phosphorus, critical for building bones. It also keeps cancer cells from growing and dividing.
Fatty fish such as tuna and salmon are good sources as well. Sunlight is critical to the formation of Vitamin D.
The recommended daily intake for vitamin D is 5 micrograms up to the age 50; 10 micrograms to age 70; 15 micrograms for people older than 70.
VITAMIN E is the family name for eight antioxidants. It can help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Nuts and tomatoes are good natural sources. The recommended daily intake is 15 milligrams from food, or 33 IUs of the synthetic form.
Since we don't always get all of our vitamins that we need from our diet and the foods we eat, a vitamin supplement is good insurance for our bodies. Many of the vitamin blends on the market today help us achieve an anti aging diet.
It seems that new daily recommended amounts, minerals, vitamins and different blends are developed regularly. Are there any vitamin products that you feel are effective and a proper blends of the RDA? Post comments on this subject, we love to learn more on this important topic.

TWELVE STEPS TO HEALTHY EATING
1. Eat lots of cooked vegetables including green leafy vegetables.
2. Eat mostly cooked and warm foods where possible (with ocassional salads). Use foods prepared within 24 hours if possible.
3. Eat meals on a regular schedule where possible.
4. Eat fruit on regularly and separte from meals when possible. Slightly more fruit in the warmer months and less in the colder months.
5. Gradually cut back on dairy. Try to limit dairy to ocassional yogurt or kefir from a natural food store.
6. East miso soup several times a week and include the ocassional use of other traditionaly fermented dishes.
7. Gradually eliminate foods with additives, preservatives, caffeinated products, coloring, MSG/hydrolyzed proteins, artifical sweeteners (aspartame, neotame, sucralose, etc.), and chemical names in the intredient list that you are not sure of.
8. Determine with some experimentation what balance of vegetables and sea vegetables, whole grains, fish/fowl, legumes, fruits, nuts, seed, juices (particularly mangosteen juice), herbal teas/coffee substitutes/spring water and healthy treat as snacks. You may decide to regularly take ca concentrated food supplement or individual supplements until your health and nutrition plan improves. Use healty supplements, such as Nature's Health Products, without additives sweeteners, fillers, etc.
9. Shop for foods at a natural food store when possible. If you need to, purchase food staples and supplements via the internet of mailorder outlets.
10. Purchase natural foods cookbooks to help you with cooking techniques and recipes and to give you fresh, new ideas you may not have considered.
11. Food cravings can be handled best by using holistic healing methods such as taking classes in yoga, meditation, and stretching exercises. Getting small, regular amounts of protein at meals can help reduce sugar and other cravings.
12. When cooking and eating, try to have a spirit of love and joy in your heart and serenity in your mind. Chew slowly and thoroughly (remember the old adage: chew your bites of food thirty times? It seems like alot, but you must remember that your stomach has no teeth and it will take that much longer for your digestive system to break down and process that food!). Do the best you can and treat your body with the care and respect it deserves. Holistic health and wellness is always the best approach to a healthy lifestyle.
If you have any healthy tips to share, please post them. We can change this list to "Dozens of Steps to Healthy Eating" with your help and expand all of our horizons.

WHY IS CALCIUM IMPORTANT?
Calcium is a mineral that is essential for life, yet the majority of Americans do not get adequate calcium on a daily basis. Calcium plays an important role in building stronger, denser bones early in life and keeping bones strong and healthy later in life.
About 99 percent of the calcium in our bodies is found in our bones and teeth. In addition to building and maintaining healthy bones, calcium allows blood to clot, nerves to send messages, muscles to contract and other body functions.
Each day our bodies lose calcium through skin, nails, hair, sweat,urine and feces. The human body cannot produce calcium on its own. That's why it's important to try to get enough calcium through the foods we eat. When the diet does not have enough calcium for our body's needs, calcium is taken from the bones.
READING FOOD LABELS
To determine how much calcium is in dairy, soymilk and other foods that have calcium, check the nutrition facts panel of the food label for the daily value (DV) of calcium.
Food lables list calcium as a percentage of the DV. This amount is based on 1,000 mg of calcium per day. For example:
30% DV of calcium equals 300 mg.
20% DV of calcium equals 200 mg.
15% DV of calcium equals 150 mg. of calcium
Usually only foods that come in packages or containers have food labels.
SOURCES OF CALCIUM
Food remains the best source of calcium in the prevention of osteoporosis. Dairy products are high in calcium, while certain green vegetables and othe rfoods contain calcium in small amounts.
For people who have trouble digesting dairy products because of lactose intolerance, lactose free dairy products and lactase enzyme pills are also available.
Calcium-fortified foods and calcium supplements are helpful for people who are unable to get anough calcium in their diets. Some juices, breakfast foods, soymilk, ereals, snacks, breads, and bottled water have calcum that has been added. If you drink soymilk that is fortified with calcium, be sure to shake the container well as calcium can settle to the bottom.
Adults under age to need 1,000 mg of calcium and 400-800 IU of vitaimn D daily.
Adults 50 and over need 1,200 mg oc calcium and 800-1,00 IU of vitamin D daily.
When available, choose a supplement of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) over vitamin D2 (ergocfalciferol) to protect bone health.
People who get the recommended amount of calcium from foods do not need to take a calcium suppliement. These individuals, however, still may need to take a vitamin D supplement.
SUBSTANCES THAT INTERFERE WITH CALCIUM ABSORPTION
There are several substances that can interfere with the body's ability to use calcium, including:
oxalate
protein
phytate sodium
caffeine
Foods with high amounts of oxalate and phytate reduce the absorption of calcium contained in those foods. Spinach, rhubarb and beet greens are examples of foods that are high in oxalate. While these foods can be an important part of a healthy diet they are not good sources of calcium.
Legumes, such as into beans, navy beans and peas are high in phytate. You can reduce the phytate level in beans or legumes by soaking them in water for several hours, discarding the water, and then cooking them in fresh water.
100% wheat bran is a food that provides fiber, but is also high in phytate. It is the only food that appears to reduce the absorption of calcium in other foods eaten at the same time (for example, eating wheat bran cereal with milk). If you are taking calcium supplements, you may want to take them two or more hours before or after eating any foods wih 100% wheat bran.
A diet that is too high in animal protein, sodium and caffeine can decrease calcium absorption. A person's daily calcium needs increase when they get too much protein and sodium. You can offset the calcium loss from caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea by adding milk or extra calcium to your diet. If you consume any foods or drinks that may interfere with calcium absorption, you may want to take your calcium supplements at a differenet time of day.
CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS
The amount of calcium needed for a supplement depends on how much you obtain from your food. If you eat enough calcium from the foods you eat, you don't need a supplement. Taking more than you need does not have added benefits.
Calcium exits in nature only in combination with other substances called compounds. Several different calcium compounds are used in supplements, including calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium lactate and calcium phosphate. These compoudns contain different amounts of elemental calcium, which is the actual amount of calcium in the supplement.
It is important to read the product label cafefully to determin how much elemental calcium is in the supplement and how many does or pills to take. When reading the label, pay close attentionto the "amount per serving" and "serving size".
A SIMPLE WAY TO ADD CALCIUM TO MANY FOODS
A single tablespoon of non-fat powdered milk contains about 50mg of calcium. Try adding some to:
Puddings
Homemade cookies
Breads or muffins
Soups or gravy
Casseroles
About two to four tablespoons can be added to most recipes.
COMBINATION PRODUCTS
Calcium supplements are also available in combination with vitamins and other minerals. Although vitamin D is necessary for the abrosption of calcium, it does not need to be taken at the same time as a calcium supplement.
Minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and vitamin K are also important for bone health, but are ususally obtained by eating a well balanced diet.
PURITY
Calcium supplements prepared from unrefined oyster shell, bone meal or dolomite may contain lead of other toxic metals. Choose supplements that are known brand names with proven reliability for these types of supplements.
ABSORBABILITY
The body easily absorbs most brand name calcium products. They need to dissolve in the stomach for calcium to absorb. Chewable and liquid supplements dissolve well because they break down before intering the stomach.
TOLERANCE
Side effecfs from supplements, such as gas or constipatoin may occur. If increasing fluids and fiber in your diet does not sovle the problem, try another type or brand.
When staring a new supplement, it may be better tolerated if you start with a smaller amount, then gradually add more calcium each week.
CALCIUM INTERACTIONS
Calcium supplements may reduce the absortion of the antibiotic tetracylcine.
Calcium should not be taken at the same time as iron supplements.
Thyroid hormones should not be take within four hours of calcium.
SUMMARY
Most studies show that low calcium intake is associated with low bone mass, bone loss and higher fracture rates. Getting enough calcium is one of the many things people can do to help reduce bone loss. People who get plenty of calcium during their lifetime may still be at risk for bone loss and osteoporosis due to a variety of factors. These factors include vitamin D deficiency, genetics, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol abuse and certain medications and medical disorders known to cause bone loss.

THE SECRET OF ALLERGY RELIEF
w Dr. Louis, a physician trained at Yale University of Medicine and and former member of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard Medical School was always somewhat skeptical of the health claims of many nutritional supplements, as many of us are. Unlike other physicians, however, he was always aware of the tremendous importance of nutrition as a factor in many of the most common illnesses. He then pursued a Master of Public Health degree at Harvard University in order to learn more about nutrition and the role of alternative treatments in maintaining optimal health.
The doctor has always been open to using natural, non-toxic treatments, so when he was contacted by a distributor about mangosteen juice, and the fact that it contained Xanthones, he was very intrigued. Knowing that St. John's Wort was a popular anti-depressant in Europe and that it contained Xanthones that were responsible for mood-elevating and energizing effects, he had to investigate.
But depression was not Dr. Louis' problem. For years he suffered from a medical disorder known as allergic rhinitis, which resulted in debilitating headaches, repeated sinus infections that required treatment with antibiotics. After a variety of treatments with antihistamine agents, with only marginal symptom relief, he decided to try mangosteen juice.
He reviewed scientific literature and was surprised to discover robust evidence that the Xanthones in garcinia mangostana actually inhibited histamine release and also reduced prostaglandin E-2 synthesis that is known to mediate allergic reaction in the human body.
To the doctor's utter amazement, within two days of ingesting only one once of mangosteen juice just twice a day, he had almost complete resolution of the allergic symptoms and was able to discontinue all medications.
This seemed too good to be true, so he stopped the mangosteen juice for one day and the following day he was re-introduced to the former allergy symptoms of pounding headaches, congestion and sneezing. This was again resolved after restarting the mangosteen juice.
I think we can all be extremely excited about the doctor's results, and the testimonials of many others after beginning a mangosteen regime. The validation of this product by identifying the scientific role of Xanthones allows us to refute the many skeptics who are biased against the use of natural non-toxic treatments for medical illnesses. Too many in the medical profession worship at the alter of Big Pharma and buy into the medical establishment's view that all we need are stronger medications to vanquish all the world's diseases. The Institute of Medicine reports that adverse reactions to medications kill at least 108,000 people each year.
It is quite distressing that in the U.S. we have more medicines but less health. We should all be grateful that there exists a natural product such as mangosteen juice, which is health enhancing and non-toxic.
Well, the Now you know "how to" alleviate allergy symptoms and a host of other ailments with this amazing fruit. Who else has the experienced such results from only a couple of ounce of mangosteen juice? If you have any first hand testimonials please share them with me. I look forward to hearing form you.
If you want to add mangosteen juice to your daily diet go to my web site and look for Thai Go.

Our highly processed, white-flour diet has made America a nation of constipation ("Constipation Nation"). As unpleasant as that is, the real damge comes from a lack of proper toxin removal from the body. A clogged, dirty bowel can lead to reabsorption of unhealthful matter into the cells, and buildup of this can cause all sorts of unpleasantness.
Nature's Three is a bulk fiber supplement made from psyllium (as recommended by Dr. Oz on the Oprah Show), oat fiber and apple fiber. It provides 1 gram of soluble fiber and 1 gram of insoluble fiber per serving to help maintain a healthy "flow" of material through the colon. Soluble fiber combines with liquid to help create bulk in the wasted, while insoluble fiber is like a scouring sponge, scleaning the intestinal walls as it moves along intact. Both are essential to proper waste removal and good bowel health.
I think everyone would agree that fiber is important to the proper functioning of the human body. It is even more so with our often poor diet in this country. Did you see any of the recent Oprah programs featuring Dr. Oz and this recommendations on fiber in the diet? He suggests adding psyllium to a morning juice blend to keep things regular. This can be bought in bulk at health food stores, but the NSP product is the perfect combination of the 3 fibers. Please post comments if you've tried this or other fiber supplements. Visit NSP's website to learn more about this fiber and how it can benefit you and your health.

Discover the Power of Xanthones
If there is one drink (besides your favorite cup of hot coffee!) you should reach for in the morning, it should be Thai-Go.
Bioflavonoids are responsible for giving fruits and vegetables their bright colors.
In the body, bioflavonoids enhance vitamin C absorption and help maintain collagen and capillary walls. They also aid in the body's defense system. In fact, in bioflavonoids, Thai-Go is 3.1 times stronger thanits closest competitor in stimulating the immune system.
Antioxidants scavenge the free radicals that the body accumulates. Free radical damage has been linked to many common concerns from wrinkles to cancer and heart disease. Thai-Go delivers a PUNCH of antioxidant protection. The USDA stated "Eating plenty of high ORAC fruits and vegetables, such as spinach and blueberries may help slow down the processes associated with aging in both body and brain."
By comparison, spinach has an ORAC value of 1,260 while blueberries rate 2,400. Thai-Go has an ORAC value of OVER 100,000.
In formulating Thai-Go, NSP scientists drew from Mother Nature's arsenal of protectors. The ingredients highest in antioxidant activity were selected for this elite formula.
In case you were wondering what ORAC stands for, it is: "Oxygen Radical Absorbancy Capacity". This is the power an individual ingredient has to neutralize free radicals. Using this instrument, NSP scientists measured many combinations of ingredients before the final selection of a proprietary blend of eleven fruits and herbs that test high on the ORAC scale.
The most powerful fruits and herbs were selected for Thai-Go. Some mangosteen juice products are just that: soley mangosteen. While it's not disputed that magosteen is beneficial and the most plentiful ingredient, ten others were selected for maximum benefits.
All of my friends and relatives that I've introduced to this juice continue to be amazed by their results. I always love to hear from others who have benefited from mangosteen. Has it helped you with your arthritis, has it lowered your blood pressure, or have your noticed an increase in energy? Any comments, stories or inquiries would be appreciated. Of course, should you wish to try Thai-Go, come to my NSP website. You can purchase a one month supply for only $51.95 by becoming a memeber (at no cost). This is a small price to pay for an your health. What is more important to you than your health?

If you had a home based business and could earn money from home is there any reason to say no? Just think about it, you get out of bed, make coffee, set down at your computer and your at work. The part that is even more exciting is that if you work an hour or if you work 12 hours, when you turn off your computor and you stop for the day, you business is still working for you. If you had a traditional retail store, it could be the busiest place on earth, but when you lock the door and turn out the lights, your income stops!!!! I have a system that continues to work for you even after you stop working for the day. Before you ask the question, let me assure you that this Home Based Business is not a get rich quick scheme. There are so many "turn key" home bases businesses on the internet that fit in the catagory of "too good to be true". The reason they are too good to be true is that they promise or at least imply instant wealth. Anytime that happens you need to raise all the red flags and think about making a fast escape.
What questions should I ask when looking at a company?
#1 What are your good and/or services? The company must have some kind of tangable product. I personally do not consider information a product. Ideally it is a consumable product that requires monthly replacement. It also needs to be a quality product with some kind of track record. I prefer mature companies over young or start up companies. I once built a business of over 200 distributors with a new company and they changed the compensation plan and reduced my earnings by 70%.
#2 Are the products priced competivly? That is a pretty easy question to answer. What I do is look at the product and the pricing and ask myself this questions: "If I were a consumer ONLY, and not looking for ways to earn money from home, would I pay that much money for the product?" That is a simple yes or no. MANY companies seem to charge exorbinant prices for the products to help support the payouts on the compensation plan. If you look at the product and think to yourself "That's too much to pay for a box of soap." or "That is too much to pay for a months supply of vitamins." Then maybe your looking at the wrong company. I also want to bring up that cheapest is not always best, so be careful when doing your comparisons.
#3 How much does it cost to become a distributor? In my mind this should be zero!!! I can't figure out why a company would charge me to sell thier products.
#4 Once I decide to start a home based business how do I build the business? Before I answer that, let me suggest that anyone who tells you that they are going to build the business for you is full of hot air. If they tell you that the business will grow and build even if you don't do anything, be careful. I will tell you that I have developed what I consider a logical way to build a business and a system that we can all develop and grow. It will take work on your part, however, my goal is to bring in people who are looking for us. People who want to find ways to make extra money at home, people who have a drive and desire to develop a home based business that they can be proud of and one that will create a sizeable residual income. I did not invent anything. This is not a new idea or a creative new concept. All I am doing is utilizing and arranging some marketing techniques that are avaiable to all of us on the internet.
I found a solid 35 year old company with solid products that are a great quality and are fairly priced. The product that brought me to this company is called Thai Go. Thai Go is a mangosteen fruit juice whice contains 11 other ingredients that are considered nutritional antioxidants. The mangosteen fruit is loaded with xanthones which are super charged anti-oxidants. These nutritional antioxidants are critical in the anti-aging process. This bring up an opportunity to test out my own teachings here. Yes, if I were just a consumer, I would eagerly buy and use Thai Go Juice in a regular basis. The company also has a huge line of other products for holistic healing and for general health and well being.

If your looking for Mangosteen Juice to help control you hypertension or to lower your cholesterol, then you are in the right place.

Whatever the health and nutritional benefits your looking for, I am sure you will be pleased with the results of Thai Go Mangosteen Juice. I tell every one to try it for 90 days. Its just not fair to drink a bottle and say that there was no changes in your body. At the same time I will tell you that it is not unusual to hear about people who have positive results almost instantly. Now, before you tell me that you don't want to be a distributor and that you don't want to sell Mangosten Juice to family and friends, just bear with me and read this in its entirety. As a distributor you get your Mangosteen Juice at wholesale. Sign up for the autoshipment, one case for one person and two cases for two people. At this point you need to put yourself in one of three categories. 1. You just want to be a product user 2. You want to make some money 3. Your not sure. If you just want to be a product user and enjoy the health and nutritional benefits of Xanthones found in Mangosteen Juice, that is just perfect. Give Thai Go Mangosteen the 90 day challange. By then you will start feeling the results.

If your healthy the changes may be more subtle. You will be asked by family and friends what you are doing differently. You may also volunteer to others the improvements that the Mangosteen Juice has made with your body.

Nutrition for Female Athletes
Symptoms of Poor Nutrition and Guidelines for Eating.
Poor nutrition in female athletes shows itself in symptoms such as burn-out, tiredness, performance plateaus and repeated injuries. Sometimes female athletes may diet more aggresseively than their non-athletic counterparts. Some mistakenly think that losing weight will improve their performance on the field.
To gauge an athlete's ideal weight, a woman should take her weight in pounds and divide it by 2.2. This will give the weight in kilograms. Next, multiply the number by 10. This is the number of grams of carbohydrates in the diet, about 70% of the woman's daily diet. Contrary to recent news, this percentage is much better than some low carb diets. An athlete's body needs more energy and the human body uses carbs as its main fuel. Protein grams are the woman's kilograms times one, therefore 10-15% of the calories should come from protein, with the remainder from fat.
Iron and calcium supplements are recommended with a calorie consumption of 1,200 calories per day. The majority of nutrients should come from a well-balanced diet. A multi-vitamin supplement is always a good insurance policy, especially with an athlete's increased phycial activity.
Female Athletes Are Prone To Iron Deficiency
The recommended daily requirement of iron for females is 18 mg. Unfortunately most girls do not receive this amount on a daily basis. Excessive sweating can further exacerbate iron loss. Iron deficiency can occur without anemia and is quite common in young female athletes.
Iron rich foods, dietary supplements and vitamin C (which helps absorb iron) can also improve performance. Caffeine intake is known to block iron absorption and should be limited.
Calcium
An increase in calcium intake is needed for female athletes as well. Half of all runners and 40% of gymnasts and dancers don't get enough calcium. Stress fractures are a legitimate risk. Weight bearing sports involve the great risk to calcium-deficiency related problems.
Low Fat Diets
Extremely low fat diets have risks, even if the overall calorie intake is good. Diets with less than 10% fat calories put female athletes at risk. Consequences include low energy and performance, deficiencies in iron, zinc, magnesium, folate, vitamins #, B6, B12, C and A. Inadequate calorie intake can be the first step down the road to the problems that include poor performance, physical injuries and eating disorders.
RG-Max: Promotes Stamina During Exercise
RG-Max is an amazing drink mix that helps promote stamina during exercise and provides powerful antioxidant benefits. It promotes support to the heart and the skeletal muscles. its ten different amino acids help to repair and build muscles, including the heart muscle.
Athletes find that taken prior to regular physical activity, performance is improved and endurance is increased. To learn more about this truly unique performance enhancing product for both males and females, visit our website. Please post comments if you've tried this product or any other amino acid drink products and let me know of your experience. I find that a drink just prior to a work out helps me go the distance! Make fitness a regular part of your daily routine. Someimes I have to convince myself to hop onto my elliptical machine, but once I've completed my workout, I never regret it!

Calcium: Help to Treat Osteoporosis
Calcium and Magnesium are two of the most abundant and important minerals that the body needs. And they are dependent upon each other for proper utilization in the human body.
Studies confirm that regular exercise combined with supplementing the body with calcium and other nutrients can help reduce future risk of osteoporosis in teen and young adult white and Asian women and can help maintain good bone health.
Often overlooked in today's sunscreen-obsessed society is the importance of small daily doses of sunshine. The sun helps promote healthy vitamin D levels and in turn aids in the absorption of calcium which stengethens our bones.
Calcium Mangnesium SynerPro will benefit the body providing nutrients that support the structural system and aids in the maintenance of teeth, bones, tendons and skin. It will also help support the maintenance of a blanaced pH and may offer benefits to the circulatory sytem.
A combination of a healthy, calcium rich diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, bone-strengthening exercise such as walking and weight-bearing workouts, outdoor activity and a suppllement of a calcium/magnesium product will help prevent and slow down bone loss.
I have osteoporosis in my family herigage, so anything I can do to strengthen my bones I am interested in! My mother is taking a perscription, Fossamax, to help building her bones. I wonder if it would've helped her to take a calcium supplment and to have been more active in her younger years. My grandmother who is 92 and has a slight curve in her spine and roounding of her shoulders, proclaimed recently that "she's surprised that she doesn't have osteoporosis!" I suppose it's too late for heavy duty perscription therapy!
Please contact me for more tips on bone building and osteoporosis prevention! Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions that have helped you. You may visit my website to learn more.

The idea of a home bases business is appealing to most all of us. Many of us have been involved in one or more companies in the past with little or no success. Some of us have been involved in many home based businesses. Something attracts us to the idea of having a business where we can work from home. It may be a product or a group of products, it may be a compensation plan, it may be the business building tools or a combination of two or more things. I cant tell you how many Multi-Level Marketing programs that I have been involved in. I went to my usual circle of family and friends and hit a stone wall, got discouraged and never did a thing. Many of us have had more air filters than we could ever use in a life time, or paid ten times too much for a bar of soap or laundry detergent. If you honestly look at all of these attempts, you will see that there is probably one common denominator. That common denominator is what to do next. After we wear out family and friends, we might approach a few strangers, but that strong drive fizzles out quickly, we go back to our 9 to 5 job and we never get even a single pay check. If only we could keep that initial passion going. I don't really think any of us expect instant wealth. All we expect is something for our effort.
Another common denominator I have discovered is that many of us are 40 or older and have become very aware of the aging process. While many of us suffer from high blood pressure, high cholersterol, diabetics, arthritis and a host of other aging related ailments, most of us agree that sometimes the medical cure is as bad as the ailment itself. I have, like many of you, decided to look at more natural and holistic approaches to controlling my health and well being. Frankly, I refuse to grow old gracefully!!! I am going to fight it tooth and nail. Much of my battle will be with diet and suplimenting my diet with nautral and holistic things that I know are good for me. Mangosteen Fruit Juice is my favorite. It is packed full of Xanthones which are up and coming free-radical eliminator. What the heck, I decided that if I can help control my arthritis pain and my high blood pressure and earn money in a home based business, that is the best of two worlds.
I have found a company that is rock solid, so solid that they have been in business for 35 years, they have a great line of products, their products are reasonably priced, and they have a great compensation plan. They actually have two versions of their compensation plan, however, one I find to be much more advantageous. As good as all that may seem, I soon run out of "friends and family". Then what? I have the answer to that. I have finally, after all those failed attempts, found a company and a home based business building system that works. If you want more information, drop me an email at mangosteenmd@mynsp.com or you can visit my web site at www.mynsp.com/gschlitz.

MANGOSTEEN FRUIT JUICES
I have tried two different mangosteen juices in recent months. My first experience with the benefits of mangosteen juice was with XanGo. It has a very fruity flavor and I enjoyed it right away. Many who try it proclaim, "How can a juice that tastes this good be SO good for you?!" At the time I didn't realize that the reason for the sweet, tasty flavor was that it was supplemented with various other fruits. The reason for this is that the beneficial ingredient, the pericarp, or rind, of the mangosteen is actually quite bitter. Therefore these other sweet fruit flavors are added to make if more palatable.
The mangosteen is a tropical fruit about the size of a tangerine whose leathery maroon shell surrounds moist, fragrant, snow-white segements of ambrosial flesh. Sadly, it can't get a visa. The mangosteen may not be legaally imported to the United States. They may not even be legally shipped to the mainland from Hawaii where they have begrun to grow them recently. Alas, we may have to travel to Thailand or other distant countries to get a tast of this desirable fruit!
My uncle, a flight attendant, travels frequently to Asia and was recently visiting Thailand. He reports that it is the tastiest fruit he's ever tried. In this region people buy them by the bagful for small change. The fruit is even available in Vancouver and other Canadian cities, so perhaps we can hunt them down if we visit our friends to the north.
I am told that the fruit is thirillingly, intoxicatingly luscious, with a precise balance of acid and sugar. It is held to be the most delectable of all the tropical fruits, and it has been proclaimed by Quenn Victoria to be the "queen of fruits". It has won praisae down through the ages from all who have encountered it.
Due to the problems with the dreaded Mediterranean fruit fly, the Department of Agriculture does its best to stop it from crossing the borders of the continental United States. Until recently there was no safe way to assure "disinfestation".
A breakthrough came last October when the governement issued a ruling that all fruits and vegetables that might carry fruit flies could be irradiated for sale in the U.S. The mangosteen may come to the American markets at last!
Outside of Southeast Asia, mangosteens have flourished in just a few places: southern India, some Caribbean islands and in northeastern Australia. They have done poorly in California and worse in Florida.
Great explorer, David Fairchild, wrote of the fruit: "It is so delicate that it melts in the mouth like ice cream. The flavor is quite indescribably delicious. There is nothing to mar the perfection of this fruit. Even the seeds are partly or wholly lacking and when present are very thin and small."
Well, back to my experience with the mangosteen juice (since the tasting of the actual fruit may be in the distant future!). Shortly after trying XanGo, I was introduced to Thai-Go. This juice is a blend of not only the mangosteen, but ten other fruits and berries selected for their amazing compounds, antioxidants and phytonutrients. One thing that really impresses me about this juice is that is beats the other mangosteen juices on the market in ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) in an independent laboratory studies, by renowned Brunswick Laboratories, no less.
This juice also has an delicious flavor, grapes being a predominant flavor. Other ingredients include wolfberry, sea buckthorn, red grapes, grape seeds, grape skins, blueberries, apple extract, green tea and raspberries. This combination is amazing!
Please let me know of your expeirences with mangosteen juices and if you've tried Thai-Go! You may check out my website at www.mynsp.com/toourhealth. I imagine many are pleasing to the palette, but do any other juices have the combination of known anti oxidants of Thai-Go? Certainly it's chock full of xanthones, antioxidant nutrition and anti aging benefits!
