Business Opportunity Part 2

a) Is Working Hard and Save Hard not enough for retirement?

Most of us are ill-prepared for retirement. We have underestimated of the amount of money we need to live comfortably in our golden years. As life expectancies improve and cost of living rises, our CPF (in singapore) or retirement funds (other countries) will not be sufficient to maintain our current lifestyle that we used to.

Globalisation have made our jobs less secure. Companies outsourced their operation tasks to lower-cost countries. They even outsourced their inhouse operation applications to software house.

Thus, the only way to reduce this risk is to have mulitple streams of income.

 b) What is the smarter ways to earn?

      1. Leverage Your income

      By combining the time and effort of many people, we can get a much bigger
      income potential than what one can earn alone.

    
     2. Create a Residual Income Stream

     Based on the time and effort of others people in their organizations, we can earn
     the continuous residual income. This gives us the time freedom to enjoy with our
     families and friends.

He will explain the reason why direct selling of nutrition product can make you a millionaire. Here is the link to Youtube: Paul explain on Direct Selling

Water Intake

Are you drinking enough?

Water is vital to our bodily functions like
a) Clearing our waste materials in our body and prevent kidney stone and reduce the likelihood of stomach disease.

b) Lubricates our joints and prevent sore muscle. This is especially important to our knee cap.

c) Helps us to digest our food and prevent bowel problem. This also help in weight control as water help in metabolism of fat.

d) Helps you to breathe properly as your lung need moisture to take it oxygen.

e) Prevents dehydration.

f) Help your organs to function effectively.

Doctor advise us to drink 8 to 10 cups of water a day. Some people drinking 1.5 litres to 2 litres of water a day.

Take a good quality nutritional supplement every day.

Why Do We Need Supplement?
- HIGHER nutrient requirement with today’s lifestyle.

- LOWER nutrient values in today’s food due to modern commercial agriculture, food processing and storage.

For years, the American Medical Association has questioned the necessity of vitamin supplementation. Doctors ridicule supplements as “expensive urine”.

But now the conservative establishment is beginning to recognise the importance of vitamin supplementation. In a landmark article in 2002, a JAMA review noted “… it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.” Below is the article:

Another common mistake of thinking is that degenerative diseases (An example is heart disease)  are an inevitable result of old age. It is the result of cumulative damage to our cells by FREE RADICALS come from pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke and herbicides. We can protect our cells from damage and degeneration using antioxidant nutrient.

However, many people approach nutrition by looking for the “Magic Bullet”. Every so often, a new supplement will come on the market claiming to be the “one” product that will solve all our health problems.

So people go around trying out new products – aloe vera, noni, lingzhi, spirulina, mangosteen – in the hope of finding one that is suitable for them.

While these plants have a role in addressing specific health issues, no one single natural product can contain all the nutrients our cells need in the right amount and balance.

The real role of a nutritional supplement is to provide us a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in sufficient quantity and proper balance, so as to support our long term health.

Variety and balance is important because nutrients often work synergistically. Thus, USANA comes out a products called "Essence" that contains all the nutrients our cells need. Below is the ingredients it contains:

In determining your personal USANA nutritional needs, please consider the following points:

- We believe it is prudent for everyone to take a basic, good quality, multi-viatimin, multi-mineral, multi-antioxidant supplement. The younger we start, the healthier our cells remain.

- However, some of us may require additional supplements because of our specific dietary deficiency or our lifestyle needs. So, we can add specific supplements on top of the basic essential nutrients. For example, fish oil may be added for someone whose diet is lacking fish.

- Always take the recommended dosage, and stay on it. Many people expect to feel better within weeks of starting on a supplement. They are often disappointed because it may take months for people to feel a difference.

- Start young. The older or weaker we get, our bodies’ ability to absorb and utilise nutrients may be lower, even with supplementation.

MINIMISE STRESS

1) QUIT UNHEALTHY HABITS

These include smoking and excessive drinking. Use less Perfume as  most perfumes contain concentrated chemicals that go right through our skin and into our blood stream.)

2) AVOID POLLUTED AREAS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS

These include mercury in dental fillings, preservatives in canned food, pesticides in vegetables (soak them for at least 10 minutes before cooking), smoke from vehicles and avoid smoking areas.)

3) REDUCE MENTAL STRESS

(Foster loving relationships and embrace happiness. There are a lot of way to deal with stress like meditation, exercise, yoga and dancing. Yes, dancing really can relieve stress. If it is related to personel stress, I would suggest going for some self-development courses run by Bob Proctor. If it is related to financial stress, I would suggest you read my next blog update for business opportunities with USANA)

In summary, all actions that reduce the oxidative load on our body give a chance for our body to heal. It is not enough just to have good antioxidant protection if the rate of attack and damage continue to exceed the rate of defense and repair.

Exercise Regularly

Our human body is designed for Movement and Regular Activity helps our cells in many ways.

While our circulatory system has a pump (the heart) to transport nutrients and oxygen to our cells, the lymphatic system that removes the waste material from the cells back into the blood stream relies on muscular movement to work. Inactivity results in an accumulation of harmful waste material in our cells, which in turn causes toxin in our body and create problems for our organs.

Exercise also promotes cardiovascular fitness, which can reduce the likelihood of getting heart disease. It also slows the loss of muscle mass and strengthens your bones.

We do not need to over-exert ourselves. But we DO need to commit to regular movement. A suggestion is to have at least 30 minutes of warm up exercises or slow runs each day

A point to note is REGULAR ACTIVITY, NOT OVER-STRENUOUS EXERCISES.

Eat Right

Have you ever heard that what you eat is what you get?

When you eat healthy food, your body will stay healthy as the food is easily digested.
When you eat oily food, your body has to work extra hard to digest the food and fat will start to gather in your blood vessels and in your body.

A good, balanced diet will provide our cells with the most basic building blocks to build new and healthy cells.

The above Food pyramid serves as a good guide on how our daily diet should be. (Go though the different food groups.) Dr Myron Wentz likes to say, “Eat Low in the Food Chain.”.

Processing and cooking often destroys a lot of the nutrients. So we should not only strive to eat lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains – but also in as raw a form as we can get. An example is to eat steamed fish instead of fried fish.

Finally, variety is the key. It is better to eat a little of many types of fruits and vegetables, than a lot of two or three types. This way, we achieve the balance of nutrients that our cells need. I heard from my friend that we should take at least 5 different colors of vegetables and fruits each day.

We should ask ourselves, when deciding on what to eat; do we think “delicious” or “healthy”?

Do you choose the top part or the lower part of the picture for your lunch?
 
I know, I know. The top part of the picture appears more attractive and appetizing:) Often, unhealthy food appears more attractive. We have been accustomed to the taste of fat, oil, deep frying, and generous amounts of sugar, salt and spices.

So the first step in taking charge of your health involves mentally committing to eating right.

Health Tips

In our quest to stay healthy even as we age, we must make lifestyle choices that nourish and protect our cells. There are 5 practical actions that we should all be committed to:

1. Eat Right.
2. Exercise Regularly.
3. Minimise Stress.
4. Take a good quality nutritional supplement every day.
5. Water Intake.

I will discuss each action in my next blog.

(* Patented in the United States, US Patent No. 6,358,542 or 6,361,803)


What does a good supplement consists of?
Good supplements are  the basic foundation for our health. It should contain a broad range of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and phyto-nutrients that are essential for our cellular health. Together, the nutrients provide our cells with all the building blocks that our cells need, all the time, to repair, rebuild and protect themselves from external oxidant agents.

Besides variety and balance, it should come in the safest and most bio-available forms. For example,

• Beta-Carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A, is safer than synthetic Vitamin A as any excess will be passed out of the body. Excess vitamin A can be toxic to your health. 
• Chelated mineral (one attached to amino acid molecules) are easier for our body to absorb and utilise.
• It dissolves easily in the body within 10 minutes or so.

Finally, the supplement should be made to the highest standards of manufacturing. Look for one that is made to pharmaceutical grade GMP (good manufacturing practice) and one that meets USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) or similar standards. All USANA's supplements meet these standards.

Recognition for its product excellence

2 of USANA's products (Essentials™ and HealthPak™) receive top 5-star rating and Gold Medals of Achievement from NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements™

 About the author of the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements™

Lyle MacWilliam, Bsc, MSc, FP was a former Canadian Member of Parliament and Member of the Legislative Assembly for British Columbia. He found that it can be difficult for laymen to choose the right nutritional supplement. That is why Lyle MacWilliam, a Canadian expert in nutrition, published what is probably the most comprehensive comparative study on nutritional supplements in the world.

In his book the “Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements”, MacWilliam suggested what one should look for in a good supplement. He scored over 1500 top brands of nutritional supplements in North America and Canada according to 18 critical Health Support Criteria. To avoid potential bias, MacWilliam used the recommendation of 12 published experts to determine a benchmark he calls the “Blended Standard”, and compared all supplements to this standard.

[MacWilliam, an ex-Canadian Member of Parliament, was on the panel of consultants put together by the Canadian Ministry of Health when it was drawing up the law governing nutritional supplements in Canada.]

The 18 Criteria are:
1) Completeness 2) Potency 3) Mineral Forms 4) Bioactivity of Vitamin E 5) Gamma Tocopherol 6) Antioxidant Support 7) Bone Health 8) Heart Health 9) Liver Health 10) Metabolic Health 11) Ocular Health 12) Methylation Support 13) Lipotropic Factors 14) Inflammation Control 15) Glycation Control 16) Bioflavonoid Profile 17) Phenolic Compounds Profile 18) Potential Toxicities.

Healthy Food Benefits

For those who want to stay in shape or want to watch their diet, USANA's food is the best choice. It is clinically tested and certified to contain low-glycemic. It is a great-tasting drink with 3 flavours (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry) for convenient snacks and meal replacements. It reduces curb cravings and helps maintain a healthy weight. Personally, I have taken these drinks and found that I don't feel hungry so easily.

Michelle Liew

Michelle Liew, a teacher of English Language, Literature and Music in a Secondary School in Singapore has, like Kok Kiang, reaped the benefits of Usana's Health Products.

Diagnosed with 2 brain tumours 17 years earlier, Michelle suffered from their after effects after they were removed. These included fatigue, deafness in one ear and ADHD, which unquestionably hampered her in her work and career.

The forgetfulness, uneven temperament and fatigue brought on by the Acute Immune Hyperactivity Disorder also affected the quality of relationships she had with others.

With Usana's Gingko supplements, her alertness has improved. Her temprament is also more even and she has found many ways to use her excessive energy. This has also made her less fatigued. Together with Usana's Poly C, Profavinol and Mega Antioxidants, she is now experiencing a much better quality of life and now manages her relationships with better facility.

Company Vision

Dr Myron Wentz is the founder of Usana Health Science. He has a Ph.D., in Microbiology and Immunology.

The first company he founded  in 1972 is called Gull Laboratories . It is the World leader in human-cell culture and medical-diagnostic technologies and foremost in growing billions of cells for the sole purpose of the detection of viral diseases. It developed the first commercially available test kit for the Epstein-Barr virus, which is still being used in major hospitals today.

However, he realized that his diagnostic essays did not help to prevent diseases. Thus, using his research experience in understanding  the nutritional requirements of the human cell, he shifted from disease diagnostics to health maintenance and founded USANA Health Sciences in 1992.

His vision for the company is to manufacture the highest quality, science-based products that people can trust — what is on the label is what is in the bottle — providing maximum bioavailability for better health around the world and giving everyone the opportunity to live a full and better quality of life. Love Life and live it to fullest.
