Maintain Good Nutrition

Proper, balanced nutrition provides the nutrients you need every day to fuel your daily activities, promote and maintain a lifetime of good health and make your best shape a reality. The right nutrition is balanced nutrition. Committing to these simple nutrition guidelines can put good health within reach.

Healthy Breakfast
Start your day right! Breakfast is important because it kick-starts your metabolism and provides energy for you to use throughout your day.

TIP: Healthy Breakfast, Healthy Choice
For breakfast, enjoy a Formula 1 shake made with nonfat milk, fruit and Personalized Protein Powder, according to your needs.

Small Frequent Meals
Reduced meal portions, eaten frequently throughout the day, help you prevent energy slumps and unhealthy snack cravings.

Nutritious Snacks
Fruits, vegetables and small servings of protein – such as nuts, yogurt or low-fat cheese during mid-morning and mid-afternoon – help you avoid overeating at lunch or dinner time.

Regular Hydration
Ensure a regular intake of fluids to stay properly hydrated.

Essential Nutrients
Your body needs nutrients to function properly or your health will suffer. Getting the right amount of nutrients is called Balanced Nutrition. The nutrients known to be essential for human beings are proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils, minerals, vitamins and water.

Vitamins & Minerals
These are an important part of a balanced diet needed to support your body’s healthy functioning and metabolism

Supplement Your Nutrition

Vitamins

Vitamins and minerals support healthy weight management, overall good health and vitality. They are essential for the body’s normal growth and development. Even minor deficiencies may cause permanent damage. Stress, poor diet and exposure to pollutants often make it important to supplement your diet with the proper vitamins and minerals.

Vitamins help us get energy from food and enable growth and repair of skin, bone and muscle.
* There are 13 vitamins that our bodies cannot produce; we need to eat them
* The 4 fat-soluble vitamins that can be stored for longer periods of time in the body are A, D, E and K
* The 9 water-soluble vitamins that cannot be stored in the body and deplete quickly are B-vitamins and Vitamin C
* Supplement a healthy diet with essential nutrients you need every day with Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex.*

Minerals

There are 17 minerals such as calcium, iron and magnesium that we must consume because the body cannot make them.
* Minerals such as calcium can help develop strong bones and teeth.
* Minerals also help the chemical processes in your cells that occur daily as part of normal metabolism.
* Help meet your daily calcium need with Xtra-Cal Advanced.*

Antioxidants

A process called oxidation can take place in the cells of our body creating highly reactive molecules called free radicals that can cause damage to the body.
* Antioxidants help the body fight free radical damage
* They are found in colorful fruits and vegetables
* Aim for at least 7 servings a day of colorful fruits and vegetables
* Supplement your healthy diet with important nutrients in Garden 7®.*

Water

Fluid needs can vary depending on a person’s body size, the environment (you need more fluid when it’s hot and/or humid) and how active you are since a lot of fluid is lost through perspiration.
* The most important fluid is water
* Your body needs water to function properly
* Water helps regulate your body temperature.
* It transports nutrients to body cells
* Consuming eight 8-oz glasses per day of water helps you stay healthy
* Replace lost fluids and electrolytes during high activity levels with H³O® Fitness Drink

Why Be Active

Regular physical activity has many benefits. It is a potent stress buster, it can help keep weight off and it lowers your risk of developing major chronic diseases. Additional benefits include increased energy, stronger bones and muscles, improved sleep, improved body shape, a boost to mental wellbeing and a change in your outlook on life.


For some quick tips, see below.

1   Renew your commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Think about increasing the types of activities that work for your lifestyle and that can easily be built into your day. Make it a point to read up on fitness news and information, such as this article about exercise. Put your fitness plan into action today!

2   Aerobic exercise is important for the cardiovascular system. It’s defined by repetitive motion such as running, swimming or cycling. It can also tone muscles. Incorporating a little of both aerobic and resistance training is best for your daily routine.

3   Set small, specific goals you can stick to (like losing 5 percent of body weight or exercising three times a week, etc.) Drink green tea (which helps promote weight loss). Snack on fresh fruits and vegetables during your day.

4   Resistance exercise is important for healthy muscles and bones. It also builds strength. It’s defined by activities with short bursts of energy, such as weight lifting, playing sports and even pushing a lawn mower. Ideally, you need both resistance exercise and aerobic exercise to keep your body operating at its peak.

5   Simple ways work for getting fit – you don’t need to join a gym. If you become more active in your everyday life – such as parking your car further and walking more, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or even walking to a co-worker’s desk instead of emailing them – you’ll get fit faster.

6   Your metabolism doesn’t slow with age. It’s just that as people get older they do less strength-training and can lose lean muscle mass. The more lean muscle tissue you have, the higher your metabolism – and the faster you’ll lose weight. Keep your exercise and activity levels up each year, and you’ll simultaneously maintain your muscle tone, keep your metabolism up and maximize healthy weight loss.

7   At least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, at least five times each week, will keep you physically active. You can split each half hour into three 10-minute sessions. If 30 minutes are out of reach right now, start with what you can do and gradually build up.

8   Keep hydrated by consuming at least two liters of water each day. It is even more important to drink water before, during and after exercise. Even low-intensity exercise requires you to be well-hydrated.

9   Rest between workouts and allow your body time to recover.
