Supplements & Nutrition
We cannot depend solely on doctors and medicines to keep ourselves healthy, and in any case, prevention is much better than cure. Good health starts with good nutrition. Wise consumers watch what they eat, knowing that they can't simply rely on their taste buds to say what is best. And while modern farming methods may have increased the variety of foods on the supermarket shelves, there's no guarantee that the quality of the food has improved. Intensive methods deplete the natural mineral content of the land, leading to the use of synthetic fertilisers in an attempt to compensate. It's no surprise then that more and more people are turning to nutritional supplements as a means of knowing that they are getting sufficient quantities of those vital nutrients that can make such a difference to the quality of their health. The nutritional supplement products manufactured by Forever Living Products are made from the finest ingredients, grown or collected from the best sources and produced with the most advanced technology.
Each product retains its original nutritional value, encouraging both good health and peace of mind.
The Forever Lifestyle Nutritional Programme
According to the National Food Survey conducted by the UK Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the average person eats about 20% less than they did in 1970. However, time pressures and the advent of `junk food' also means that many of us aren't eating very wisely. Consequently, more than half the UK population is now overweight and one in seven is regarded as obese - twice the level recorded in 1980. Obesity is costing the National Health Service at least £200 million a year - £30 million on slimming down the 7.5 million who are very fat; the rest on treating other health problems caused by being overweight. Statistics show that people who are just 20% over their standard weight run a number of health risks, including a 50% greater risk of cardiovascular disease and a 40% greater risk of diabetes Even if we aren't overweight, many of us will try to manage our weight at sometime or other (usually trying to reduce it!) Maybe it will be to get into shape for a holiday or special event, after Christmas or just to `stay trim'.
Unfortunately, many weight reduction diets have short-term effects or are just too difficult to maintain over a long period. Consequently, dieters experience the `yo-yo' effect, a cycle of losing and gaining weight, which can lead to general discouragement. What would you consider to be the ideal diet? It should taste good, be easy to follow, boost energy levels and, of course, keep the pounds off. Good news! The Forever Lifestyle Nutritional Programme does all that and more! Just drink eight to ten 250ml (8oz.) glasses of water, two Forever Lite meals and four ounces of Aloe Berry Nectar a day. Add a well-balanced low calorie third meal, three Forever Bee Pollen tablets, and 20-30 minutes exercise (that could be as simple as walking, cycling or swimming). Our Lifestyle Nutritional Programme makes good sense - it's excellent nutrition that won't weigh you down. Why is it important for us to drink more water?
Our bodies consist of 65% water, contained in every single cell. Without water, our cells can't function, nor can we digest and eliminate our food so easily. Plenty of water flushes the digestive system, stops constipation, and reduces the possibility of urinary tract infections. If the skin feels dry or lips are cracked or joints are feeling stiff, these are some of the outward signs of dehydration The signal sent to the brain to indicate thirst is the same as to trigger hunger. Unfortunately, 90% of people would eat rather than drink water, in response to that stimulus.
If we are dehydrated, our body holds toxins in the fat cells. Drinking water allows the toxins to be eliminated and the fat cells to shrink. Thus eight to ten glasses of water a day is a basic principle of good nutrition and sound dieting.
