Fighting Malnutrition in the Philippines with John Pike

Posted on by

John Pike, Director of ten feeding centers in the Philippines, works extremely hard to provide a meal a day to thousands of children. The meals usually consist of a couple of scoops of rice per child. Despite everything John was doing, he knew he could do better.

Unfortunately, rice has very little nutritional value – most certainly not enough to support the nutritional needs of growing children. We’re happy to see MannaRelief  partner with John to bring proper nutrition to the children he seeks to help.Learn how you can get involved at www.mannarelief.org.

Ambrotose Complex Celebrates 15 Years

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.

San Francisco bans Happy Meals: The measure will make San Francisco the first major city in the country to forbid restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain more than set levels of calories, sugar and fat states the LA Times.

I think this is a good thing! At least a city is finding ways to fix the obesity problems. Hey, it’s better than doing nothing, right?

TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO LIVE WELL

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!

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

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.

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

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.

Why Wellness? Why not?

LifeStyle Living Today means living as well as we can be.  It’s about having a good quality of life.  I mean that is pretty much we are all striving for, right?  In countries like the Philippines there are the poor and the rich.  There are way too many people in the Philippines suffering from poverty and compared to the population, only a small percentage of people are wealthy and can actually afford to live well.  Either your rich or poor, we are all striving for a good quality of life, about Living Well!

In the United States, about 10% of the population earn $100,000 or more.  On top of that most people still live beyond their means.  That is why the United States is suffering the credit crunch.  Whether you are in the Philippines, the United States or some other country, our goals are to have a good quality of life.  To have wellness!  If we don’t choose wellness, we choose the opposite.  The opposite of wellness is doing nothing.

Wellness doing is exercising regularly, because we all need exercise.  You can drink all that SlimFast all you want, but you still got to exercise.  If you’re on OsoLean, you got to exercise too!  You just can’t get out of exercising.  That is essential.

Wellness doing is about eating right!  Not eating less.  Eating less sucks!  Just eat fewer calories.  This is typically the low glycemic diet.

Wellness doing is taking supplements.  Today, we all need supplements because it is a well-known fact that the nutrients that should be found in the food we’re eating are not there.  Supplements need to come from food.  Not synthesized or anything like that.   Mannatech, Inc. makes Real Food Technology Solutions.  Their supplements are all natural and the body sees it as food.

Wellness doing is drinking water.  I see so many times that a bottle of Coke is in place of a pitcher of water  at the family dinner table.  It’s sad.  Coke has so much sugar in it.  Water is water!  You have to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water a day.  Eight glasses of water a day basically.

Wellness doing is earning adequate income to support yourself and your family.  In the Philippines and in America, some people don’t earn enough income from their jobs.  So supplementing your income with another part-time job is okay.  Building a part-time home based business like a network marketing business is better.  More income for you and your family and better ways to support your wellness.

So why wellness?  To Feel Great!  To Look Great!  To ultimately Live Well!  Take charge of your wellness and financial wellness.  That is Living Well. Cheers!
