Keeping a healthy immune system is crucial to long term health. Besides those nasty little bugs that cause sneezes and wheezes, your immune system also fights off major illnesses, even cancer. A weakened immune system also hampers day to day activities from work to play and restful sleep.
Basic health rules apply to the immune system.
Get plenty of rest
Laugh as often as possible
Our eating habits and routines often do not provide what we need for daily living and immune health. Instead, choose a well-balanced variety of vegetables and fruits as the first step to building health, energy and immunity. You will also want to take the right nutritional supplements. These will help to fill in the gaps of your daily food intake for nutrition.
Many nutritional components need to be in place. Vitamins b, c and zinc are important. And do you have the nutrients to help your body formulate interferon? Interferon is a key component of the body’s self defense system and is naturally produced by a healthy, well-nourished body. It is even offered to cancer patients in high doses. Normally those high doses are more than is needed by average, healthy persons. Interferon is produced and activated by the body in the time of need rather than over producing, It is kept at a safe level until the requirement is present.
It is a better plan to give your body the components it needs to produce it’s own natural interferon. That production cannot happen without the needed raw materials (nutrients).
Interferon is simply crucial to healthy immune function. Support yours right at the cellular level with Shaklee NutriFeron®. http://bit.ly/DHHNutriferon
We often eat the wrong things. And we often do that for way too long. This can lead to build up of toxins and other unwanted, dangerous substances in the digestion tract. These substances can even find their way into individual cells. This “infiltration” of undesirable elements can create the need for a good, thorough detox.
At this point, many people decide to do something drastic about undesirable symptoms:
low energy and
poor sleep quality
Often that “something” is a harsh detox program that is difficult to adhere to and feel good about. Some detox programs can be damaging to normal body functions, such as metabolism.
A safe way to reset the body is with the 5 x 5 Reset program. This is a 5 day cleanse that is easy to follow and it lasts for only 5 days. Participants report more energy, lost cravings, weight loss and/or inch loss and better digestion and higher rest quality. With added support from a closed Facebook group, the system keeps those “reseter participants” engaged and motivated to do their best, follow the guidelines and share their experience.
After the 5 days, there is an opportunity to maintain momentum and go forward with a transition program. Interested parties should contact this blogger for details because it will make a long term difference in health and vitality.
When going through our day, sometimes we need a little help with our energy level. But that jittery feeling I get from coffee is not comfortable for me. I am also not comfortable with those popular “energy drinks”. I don’t know about the safety of their ingredients and I don’t know how they affect my long term health. So, when I need a little help, I use Shaklee Energy Chews.
A clean burst of healthy, smooth energy
*Sustains energy and improves performance
*Helps you stay alert and sharpens focus

Many people have high levels of cholesterol in this country. Sometimes those numbers are very high and some are just borderline high. Many medical professionals like to prescribe statin drugs to lower these high levels, without a look at the long term side effects of statins. Statins work to blunt the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Some of the common side effects of statins include muscle loss, raised blood pressure and decreased mental function. Who wants these side effects? These side effects of statins can be debilitating and can really decrease the quality of life.
Instead of enduring the side effects of statins, why not take a TLC approach. By TLC, I mean Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes. Here are some of the choices to make within the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes:
Cut your daily calories from saturated fat to less than 7 percent.
Eat less than 200 mg a day of cholesterol
Increase your soluble fiber intake to 10-25 grams per day.
Take in no more than 25–35 percent of daily calories from total fat (this includes saturated fat calories)
Maintain a healthy weight by not overeating.
Get at least 30 minutes of a moderate intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking, on most, and preferably all, days of the week.
Add 2 grams per day of plant stanols and sterols to your diet. In most cases that will require some degree of supplementation.
