Ambrotose Complex Celebrates 15 Years

Posted on March 10, 2011 by lifestyleliving

Ambrotose has been with us for 15. Personally, I have been taking Advanced Ambrotose since 2005, and I feel great! I feel, the more I take, the better. I also had the experience of taking less Ambrotose last year, and honestly, I didn’t feel as good (I was trying to save a little more money). But honestly, I had to work harder to take the nutrients I need to feel good.

If you’re not familiar with Ambrotose, it’s simply a natural glyconutrients product designed to support your immune system and good cell to cell communication (yes, your cells communicate, that’s how they know what to do).

Anyhow, Ambrotose Complex has been around for about 15 years now. This is so exciting. Myself and all of the people I’ve shared Ambrotose with, have great results. Ambrotose is non-toxic and me personally knows that even better. So now the people I’ve shared Ambrotose knows for sure that Ambrotose is a good product for supporting good health and wellness.

I’ve had some customers quit Ambrotose in the past with reasons ranging from financial issues or they just didn’t feel anything. Well in order to get results, you’ll have to take Ambrotose on a long-term basis. Short term… yeah, you won’t drastically feel anything. But it does work and scientific studies shows that.

To get the full benefits of Ambrotose, take it for a year or more. If you really want to know how you feel without Ambrotose, then stop for a month or so. Yes, you’ll feel the difference. (I may be biased because I’m a Mannatech Associate, but I assure you, I’m telling the truth and sharing my personal experiences with the products).

So if you’re looking for good health and wellness, and you want to do it naturally, then check out what Ambrotose can do for you. I assure you, it’s a good product and worthwhile taking it. It’s also guaranteed, so it’s free unless you love it.

TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO LIVE WELL

Posted on October 6, 2010 by lifestyleliving

Get eight hours of sleep: sleep is so important! They don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing. Most of the healing , repairing and rejuvenation happens during sleep. So sleep 8 hours before you have to wake up to start your day.

Eat and drink healthy – organic fruits and veggies and water: Living well is a lifestyle. You’ll have to put good things in your body. You already know what the good stuff is and what is the bad stuff. So I’ll leave this at your discretion. Take Dietary Supplements as well. This is part of eating healthy. Much of the nutrients aren’t found in the foods we eat anymore so we’ll have to supplement with all natural, none-toxic, and real food dietary supplements.

Exercise – Yoga, Tai Chi, Walking: You got to exercise! If you want more energy: exercise! Exercising is the best way to keep you fit, feeling, great, and looking great! Burning the fat is hard work, so to support the fat burning process, I recommend OsoLean (Oh-so-Lean). There’s a reason why they call it that.

Meditate / Breathe: Yoga teaches you to do this a lot. It’s just good for your health. There are many forms of Meditation, but I personally like to day-dream. Day-dreaming is my meditation, it helps me think and cleanse my mind, and I get to think about things I want to accomplish in my life.

Enjoy nature and beautiful things: Golfers does this best. People who jogs at New Yorks Central Park do this well too. In Chicago, the Lake-front. Or, you can just go to your local park and take a stroll. Jogging or rollerblading will add exercise and nature at the same time.

Nurture your body with a spa visit – massage, facials, body wraps: nothing wrong with a little pampering.

Learn or teach someone else: it’s fulfilling. If you like cooking, teach others to cook. One person I know became very passionate about cooking because someone else taught him how to cook which lead to delicious creations from Italy, South American Cuisine, to traditional Japanese entrés.

Volunteer – give back to your community and your Earth: I was invited to join JCI (Junior Chamber International) that focuses on developing young people to promote positive change. Some of the JCI projects I participated in was visiting the elderly at a local convent. It felt really good to make a small difference in their lives as unfortunately some of them rarely get’s any visits. They truly loved our visit. By the way, the Nones who took care of them made really delicious espresso. They were kind enough to teach me how to make it. Perhaps I’ll blog about how to make it in the near future.

Avoid negativity – from yourself or from others: from all of the books I have read such as The Success Principles by Jack Canfield to The Secret by Rhonda Bryne, they all promote being surrounded by like-minded individuals that helps and empower you to be a better and more successful person. Negativity also promotes stress and it is known that stress is not good for your well-being. Smiling increases your immune response ever so slightly and frowning decreases your immune response ever so slightly. Imaging what negative and stress will do.

Love – yourself and others around you: This is a no brainer!

That is the TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO LIVE WELL. Make it Everyday! That is LifeStyle Living!

Superficial Abundance & Nutritional Poverty

Posted on September 30, 2010 by lifestyleliving

Superficial Abundance and Nutritional Poverty simply means we have so much food, but lacking nutrients for various reasons. For instance, most fresh fruits and vegetables are green harvested and only when their ripened at the farm is when they are most nutritious and if we eat them right away. There are also problems with the soil and toxins in our environment. We also have processed foods that process out the good nutrients from our food. So you know we have a problem with our food chain when the USDA recommends adults to eat 9-13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

So supplementation is very much important in today’s world. Supplements simply delivers the nutrients that should have been in the food we eat on a daily basis. It is made to be convenient and cost-effective for us to take a proactive approach to our own personal wellness when it comes to nutrition.

The video above is entitled “A Healthy Dose of Reality” and simply states what I shared with you above and why we believe that Mannatech is the brand of choice when it comes to nutritional support. Mannatech products are all natural, non-toxic, and safe; things that we should look for in dietary supplements. They do cost a little more than what you can get at Whole Foods, GNC or Vitamin World. The reason why they cost a little bit more is because they are made better and they are unique from what you can find else where with other nutrition companies. So you can trust the Mannatech Brand when you think of high-end nutritional support.

I have been taking the Mannatech products for about five years now, and I feel great! I take them daily. I take products to support my immune system, antioxidants for anti-aging and protection, vitamins, and omega-3′s for over all health. I take a number of products to keep my wellness and at age 30, I feel really good.

I have been sharing these products to everyone I meet because I believe they could benefit them as well. I like these products, so I share them with my friends, family and new friends I meet. It is my hope for everyone to feel good as well with the support of Mannatech’s products.

A Story of Discovery by Dr. Bill McAnalley on Aloe, Glyconutrients and Ambrotose

Posted on September 16, 2010 by lifestyleliving

The video above is titled “A Story of Discovery.” It is Dr. Bill McAnalley’s story on how he found the active ingredient in Aloe and how he later on developed Ambrotose, Mannatech’s glyconutrional supplement.

If you browse this blog, you’ll see posts about Ambrotose and glyconutrients and why it is important to support our wellness. In short, Ambrotose is a dietary supplement of glyconutrients to support your immune system and overall well-being. Ambrotose has been shown to increase immune system support, supports the digestive system, improves memory and cognitive function, enhances mood and decreases irritability.

The video is a compelling story on how Ambrotose and Mannatech came about. It was suggested early on since Ambrotose is so new, that networking marketing was the best vehicle to introduce this kind of product to the marketplace. Now I know being a seasoned networker that network marketing is sometimes not looked as a good thing. There are good and bad companies out there and there are good and bad networkers as well. However, Mannatech is a good company with good Associates like myself. In all walks of life, there are good and bad people out there, all I’m saying is that I found Mannatech which I believe is a very good company and I believe what I have to offer the people I meet is good.

Mannatech is a real company with real products backed by research. There’s already a lot of people out there taking Ambrotose already. Chances are, if you are reading this, you are probably looking for what people have to say about it. All I’ve got to say is it’s a very good product. Take it! And when you do take it, take for a long time. The longer you take Ambrotose along side with Mannatech’s other core products, the better you will look and feel.

FAQ: Can I afford Supplementation?

Posted on September 11, 2010 by lifestyleliving

Affordability is one of the biggest issues I come across in the field. I am an active Mannatech Associate and I pretty much tell people about Mannatech and why I believe the company and their health products are really good. It’s important to take supplements nowadays due poor eating habits and definitely due our toxic environment. That is what the experts are saying anyway.

Despite having great products that money can buy, a big objection I get is the price. Typically it takes a little over $100 to start on a Mannatech Wellness Regiment. But sad to say, many people do not have enough money to afford an extra $100+ a month.

But budgeting your funds is a good start! For example, your daily Starbucks could cut down. On average, a Starbucks drink is around $3.50 or $105 for 30days. So cut the Starbucks drink. Besides, a milk and espresso beverage contains a lot of empty calories, so lessening your Starbucks will keep the fat away. Or perhaps go every other day; you’ll still be saving about $52.50 a month. If you don’t drink Starbucks, budget in other areas. Starbucks is just an easy example. By the way, I actually used to be a Barista during college.

Mannatech has made it easy to afford the products through network marketing as well. All you need to do is just get 6 of your friends to start on their wellness regiment with you and Mannatech will give you $100 every single month!

So you can budget and/or take a little effort to share some information to your friends and family and then you’ll be able to afford the products.

But in all honesty, Mannatech products have value. They are made to be the best that money can buy and the prices are very fair compared to how much research and effort it takes to make them. So in a value standpoint, Mannatech Products are quite cheap and affordable. Just don’t compare these products to the products you get at Walgreen’s, Vitamin World or GNC because Mannatech does produce products superior to what you can get in normal stores. They are made better and they are really natural: and All Natural is Good!

So the real question is, Can you afford Not to take Supplements? Remember, it’s cheaper to take a proactive approach to your own health rather than the other way around. Right?

You Can Still Achieve a Healthy Lifestyle Even Though You Just Ate Fast Food

Posted on July 25, 2010 by lifestyleliving

Every day, about a quarter of Americans eat fast food. However, I wonder what the statistics are for other countries. I am currently here in the Philippines and it is fast food galore here as well. The fast foods in the Philippines are quite affordable also, causing people to go eat fast food rather than eating something more wholesome. Japan has many American fast food chains and Europe I am sure. I do believe the battle of the bulge is no longer stationed in America. The fat is just everywhere!

The typical teenage boy in the United States alone gets 10% of his daily calories from Soda. Did you know that a 12-ounce can of Coke contain about 10-12 teaspoons of sugar? Basically, it is 1 teaspoon of sugar for every ounce or shot glass of soda. It’s quite unbelievable when I first learned about that fact, but whenever I share it, everyone always questions it. But I assure you, it’s the cold hard truth and if you’re a coke drinker that is what you are drinking. Remember, excess sugar turns to fat in the body.

If you go to a fast food chain, it costs them cents to make soda and that is where a lot of their profit comes from; the sales of soda. However, if you are weird like I am, when I go to a McDonalds for a treat (yes I occasionally have a treat there too) I order pineapple juice. It’s a little healthier than soda, but it still has some sugar and it is still refined. For myself, to combat the bad food I eat, I take in extra nutrients to balance out my treat. But I keep this in moderation and so should you. That’s the key! Moderation!

What is really scary is that children often recognize the Golden Arch before they recognize their own name. Yikes! Also, if you wrap anything in a fast food wrapper, it just taste better? That is how powerful fast food marketing is. It is incredible!

However, you can still achieve a healthy Lifestyle even though at times you can’t go anywhere else except a fast food chain. The solution is natural food based supplements that will supply your body the nutrients missing from the food we eat everyday. Nutrition is fuel for your body at the cell level so you can be healthy. Healthy Cells equates healthy bodies. Though not all supplements are made equally so you will have to do some research. In this blog, I talk plenty about Mannatech Products because I believe they are the best money can buy.

Also, increase your exercise to get more energy as well as burn off those empty calories. Yes, they are quite empty even thought it tasted good. But what is better is to eat something wholesome throughout the day. It will just help you today, tomorrow and the long run.

So you can achieve a healthy lifestyle with good wholesome food, exercise, plenty of rest and good supplementation to help your cells get healthy and the overall You well.

Are French Fries and Ketchup Categorized As Vegetables?

Posted on June 29, 2010 by lifestyleliving

Two common vegetables kids in the United States eat are French Fries and Ketchup. Now, would you honestly believe and categorize French Fries as a serving of vegetables? Is Ketchup a vegetable? Some do actually. Don’t get me wrong, they taste really good with an American Cheeseburger, but is it adequate for our health needs? Is it adequate for our children’s needs?

I do understand a burger, fries and a coke is a tasty treat and typically done as a lunch or dinner but with the current obesity problem, it’s doing more harm than good, would you agree? Yes it’s cheap! Obesity rates is expected to go up in the USA during the current Economy because it is simply cheaper to go to McDonald’s than it is to go to the Grocery Store and buy some good wholesome fruits and vegetables. I have heard, and correct me if I’m wrong that two pears are more expensive than a full meal in McDonald’s. So, a struggling mother would be able to feed her children at McDonald’s more so than simply going to the grocery store. Completely understandable but gosh, we got to weigh in the pros and cons here as many Americans are horizontally challenged.

Most Americans lay awake at night worrying health and finances as it was polled back in 1997 and today its the same thing. So, in order to provide our children and ourselves the best health money can buy is simply to make more money.

Mannatech, Inc. is a Reasearch and Development Nutrition Company that develops Real Food Technology Solutions. Their mission is to provide better solutions to global health through natural and effective wellness products. Mannatech, Inc, choose Network Marketing as their Marketing vehicle which is proving to be very effective.

Why is Network Marketing Effective when it comes to health and nutrition?

#1. Network Marketing with Mannatech allows the Customer to be educated about health and their products more than what they can learn at the typical nutrition store (Mannatech products are not sold in stores). There are plenty of research and background behind Mannatech Products and Seminars are given to ensure that each customer as well as their associates to fully understand the importance of health, dietary supplements and the benefits of Mannatech products. The American Medical Association stated in their journal that it is imperative to supplement now because most nutrients are not found in the modern diet. It makes sense! Treats like Happy Meals don’t have that much nutrients hence the importance of supplementation for kids as well as for adults (some adults actually order Happy Meals too, because of the toys…)

#2. Network Marketing with Mannatech, Inc. allows associates to earn income to offset their monthly product needs. They call it their free wellness for life program. Perhaps if they want to earn a little more income to increase their grocery budgets, Mannatech and Independent Associates will provide help and training to achieve that. And if they want to earn and match their current annual income, there is that option as well. The individual Customer and Associate decides that.

So Mannatech knows the importance of health and finances. To be healthy in our society today, you will have to be able to afford it. Simple as that. If you don’t believe that, then your kidding yourself. That’s the truth! Robert Kiyosaki said it’s wake up time! Time to be financially literate. We can be financially literate and healthy at the same time because our health is our wealth. Cheers!

If me and my team are the ones that introduced you to Mannatech, you can contact us here and we will help you with Mannatech’s Health Solutions and Financial Solutions.

Health Benefits of Dietary Fiber

Posted on June 23, 2010 by lifestyleliving

LifeStyle Living promotes good health and wellness in hope of all of us looking and feeling good so in turn we’ll all have the capacity and drive to succeed in other areas of our lives. I believe a healthy body and a healthy mind is the most important asset anyone owns. And guess what, we got it for free! Right? We didn’t pay to be born, but we were fed, clothed and educated and in most cases, not all,we got paid (through allowances). Now taking care of this body is our #1 responsibility, #2 would be taking care of ourselves and others (i.e. family) through our jobs or businesses: the finances.

There was a poll in 1997 which asked what kept you awake at night? The top reasons was health and finances. Today, isn’t it the same? So, that is why we are talking about something very important today like Fiber and the health benefits of dietary fiber. It is known that many people do not eat enough fiber in their diets so this is a must know.

Fiber comes from whole wheat grains and brans as well as fruits and vegetables we eat. I eat plenty of fresh mangos, pineapples, and other various fruits I get at the supermarket. Whenever possible, I choose wheat bread rather than white. Although white surely tastes better. But as a treat, White buns are better on an American Cheeseburger than anything else eh…

Fiber can benefit proper digestion because it acts as a prebiotic which supports the good bacteria in our digestive system called probiotics. Pro because it is good and biotics basically means bacteria (yogurt is a good source of probiotics as well as Yakult if you are in Asia). Fiber also supports the growth of colon cells for good colon health.

Fiber also helps a healthy immune system. Scientists believe that over 70% of your immune system resides in the intestinal tract so its very important to take care of your digestive system. It also helps with the elimination of environmental toxins, it also helps you poop better, and suppresses diseased cells in the intestinal tissue.

Fiber can help you with controlling blood glucose levels because it influences the rate of absorbtion of sugars in the intestinal walls. Low glycemic fruits and veggies are high in fiber. Makes sense?

Fiber can help control blood cholesterol levels because it binds bile acids in the intestines, which slows cholesterol absorbtion.

And I’m sure this will be a popular reason to eat foods high in fiber because fiber can help control food consumption hence controlling your body weight. Why? It enhances the feeling of fullness and lowers calorie intake.

So, I hope these few tid-bits will help you in your LifeStyle Living. What ever your LifeStyle would be so long as you are happy, healthy, wealthy (no use being happy and healthy and broke), and wise. Cheers!

Combat The Fat

Posted on June 16, 2010 by lifestyleliving

Too much fat is the enemy! There are many health issues linked to excess fat. But how do you combat the fat in today’s world? There are so many temptations with Billboards and TV Commercials that entice you to eat the really good tasting yet fatty foods! I used to go to school near a Hooters in Chicago and right off the highway exit to my school is an enormous billboard with a Hooter Waitress with ginormous boobies of course holding a plate of buffalo wings. Effective advertising eh???

I attended a doctors lecture and he said that humans love the taste of fat. We are designed to like fat because back in the old days, food was not as readily available as it is today. So, to fix that, our body’s love the taste of Fat and likes to keep the fat because it expects a famine. But today, where is the famine (no where else but Africa – so sad…)? So combating the fat in todays world in our country, it seems like a loosing battle.

In all honesty, I promote good health & wellness and the importance of fitness. I promote entrepreneurship and business development as well and the number one business asset anyone owns is their temple: their body. But, I do have a weakness for burgers. Hey, I treat myself too. It tastes good! Also, I love beer and I’m Filipino so with beer, I love side dishes typically called Pulutan in the Philippines. In America, beer is served with nuts, but in the Philippines, it is fried pork galore, garlic muschrooms, lechon ect., ect. Not healthy when these sessions are “all the time.” But it is okay to treat yourself but in MODERATION.

Moderation is key in Combatting the fat. That’s it!

The Low Glycemic Diet is a good idea too!

Combat the fat with exercise!

Natural Dietary Supplements is key in the Fat War.

Combat the fat with a Tall, not a Grande or Venti.

See, our brains don’t tell us that we are in fact full until 15 minutes has past. So that 15 minutes is where we do much of the damage. Also, ourbody has a tendency to over eat because it is looking for nutrients that should be found in the food we are eating but not there. So what the body does is eat and eat until it’s physically full. Damage done, yet the body is still looking for the nutrients. That is why we need all natural, real food sourced dietary supplements. A good natural fat-loss support product is a good idea along with proper diet and exercise. That will help you shed the muffin top. That is LifeStyle Living Folks! Be happy slimmer, be healthy slimmer, be wealthy and fit, be wise and look great!
