Do you know someone looking for a restful night's sleep?

Is this you?

Someone looking for a restful goodnight’s sleep

Someone who wakes up during the night

Someone who has difficulty falling asleep

Advocare has a new product out:

SleepWorks™ helps produce sound and restful sleep on occasional sleepless nights to help you awaken refreshed* through these key ingredients:
Vitamins and Minerals
With niacin, vitamin B-6, magnesium and zinc, SleepWorks helps you naturally relax and get to sleep more rapidly. Niacin contributes to calming the body and magnesium is also known to aid in addressing sleeplessness. Research suggests that obtaining recommended daily dietary intake of magnesium can contribute to improved quality of sleep.
Relaxation and Sleep Aid Botanicals
Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since the time of ancient Greece and Rome. It has been used to treat insomnia, nervousness, and to relieve stress. Passion Flower has also traditionally been used as a calming botanical, lowering the activity of some brain cells and providing a relaxed feeling. Lemon balm and Hops are known to help reduce anxiety and promote sleep.
Neurotransmitters
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced within the body and is involved in a complex process that regulates the body’s circadian rhythm. A large analysis revealed several of melatonin’s sleep-enhancing benefits. Reviewing 15 sleep studies in healthy adults, scientists noted that melatonin administration significantly reduced the amount of time needed to fall asleep, while boosting sleep efficiency and increasing total sleep duration. GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, has been proven to be effective in improving sleep cycles because of its ability to bring calm and rest to bodily functions.

Consult your healthcare professional before taking SleepWorks or if sleeplessness persists after taking SleepWorks. Do not combine with other sleep aids, sedatives, tranquilizers or alcohol. Do not drive or operate machinery after taking.

This product is not intended for pregnant or nursing women or persons under 18 years of age. Keep out of reach of children.

 Directions:       Drink contents of one 2 oz. bottle approximately 30 minutes before bedtime.

Why Cell Phones and Driving Don’t Mix

It was 7:30 in the morning as I got in my car and started driving myself to work. It was a truly beautiful Mid-West Fall morning. As I reached the main street that leads to the freeway I found myself looking at the other drivers. At first I thought it was just my imagination playing a trick on me because it seemed like every driver that I looked at had their hand cupped to their ear talking on their cell phone. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I couldn’t help to wonder what was going on that was so important (this early in the morning) that they had to be talking to someone. Then I began to wonder how awake these people are anyway?  I managed to make it safely to work but noticed the same thing as I drove back home. The only difference going home I took the side streets instead of the freeway. Yep, I saw the same thing. Going home some of the drivers were so engrossed in their conversation that they ignored the “Green” left lane turn light!

To me the notion thought of talking on a cell phone while driving a car –OR Motorcycle (oh yes saw this tonight) while driving a car isn’t safe seems obvious.

And the only logical reasons I can think of for talking / texting during driving:

Trying to get directions from someone on the other line and you has no paper to stop and write it down

Addiction to cellular phones

So please stay safe. It is an important step in getting healthy. And if you happen to be one of those who are gets sucked into your cell phone conversations while you are driving, please remember those other people around you. You are taking big chances on your life and the lives of the people that surround you.

Getting Healthy Begins With One Baby Step at a Time

Have you ever noticed how some days are just easier than others? I know for myself a lot of it has to do with the “Mood” that I wake up in. As you can tell through reading these blogs I have been focusing and working on trying to get healthy for quite some time.

For me I have noticed that instead of jumping out of bed in the morning, and throwing my clothes on and heading off to work that I have actually set an alarm clock (what an ideaJ) for 45 minutes before I normally would be getting up. It helps me not feel so rushed.  Yes, I do lie in bed for about thirty minutes, and then I begin the process of getting up. I start out taking my MNS 3 packet (vitamins), and then go get dressed. I Mix up my morning AdvoCare Spark, and sit in my favorite kitchen chair and contemplate the day while drinking my morning juice.  I go do my hair, then come back and make and drink my Meal Replacement Shake (I like to rotate out the flavors). By the way did you know that AdvoCare Meal Replacement is made by Haagen - Dazs? It’s probably why they taste so good.

Now, I am not saying that you need to be doing what I rather I believe that the structure of my morning does influence the outcome of my day.

I enjoy walking when I can. I know that exercise is very important for a lot of reasons. However, currently I am waiting to see what is going on with my knee. I messed it up in March. I did go have an MRI this past week. In the meantime I currently use AdvoCare’s OmegaPlex and Joint Promotion. I have done some research and will soon be using AdvoCare’s Bio Tools with my MNS3. I want to avoid surgery, can you tell.

One last thing, this is a beautiful time of the year here in the Mid-West now is the time to get out and do a little around the yard, or go for a walk. Fresh air, sunlight, and a cool breeze it’s the best way to relax.

Till next time.

Were you born between the years 1946 – 1964 then you are one of the Baby Boomers.  I’m one too. Are you aware that we represent a very large segment of today’s population?

Physical activity can improve our strength, flexibility and balance. I like using an exercise ball and sit on it and roll around.  Ask your health care provide which activities are safe for you. I have recently begun to stretch before walking.
AdvoCare offers a product called BioCharge made especially for Baby Boomers. A two-supplement system designed for our specific stage of life. Featuring AdvoCare BioTune^® and BioCharge^®.
BioCharge^®:
BioCharge^® is designed to facilitate the restoration of our epigenome status to a more youthful setting.* This anti-aging action is accomplished through antioxidant rich botanicals combined with B vitamins and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs).* BCAAs are critical for activation of genetic resources in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. During exercise the presence of BCAAs helps promote the genetic code that leads to lean body mass, improved muscle performance and recovery.

Delayed recovery from exercise is a hallmark of aging. For those who do not maintain an active lifestyle, twinges, aches, stiffness and pains may be a common and constant companion. An imbalance in the epigenome is a major contributor to these events. In addition to the BCAAs, the botanicals in BioCharge are known to help correct these imbalances in the epigenome and provide anti-inflammatory actions.*

Taurine and B vitamins within BioCharge address the loss of energy that Baby Boomers feel.* Non-jittery energy that is focused and sustained is a characteristic of these components.* Since some Boomers can be less tolerant of some of the effects of caffeine, BioCharge is caffeine free.

BioTune^®:
Ingredient research has shown that nutrients in BioTune are able to help restore the use of genetic resources.* They do not change the DNA code - we inherit that code from our parents. But how we use that code has a large bearing on our health.

Think of the genetic code like the hardware in a computer. It does not change and is the same in all cells, whether they are skin, nerves, liver or muscle. However, what tells those cells to act in the correct manner and perform their assigned roles and functions are a series of molecular switches called the "epigenome". If the DNA is the hardware, then these switches are the software that determines how cells act and function.

Over time, or due to poor nutrition and environmental factors the software program can shift in its performance. This dysfunction in our cellular software can contribute to the problems that we collectively call Boomeritis and other conditions associated with aging.

The ingredients in BioTune are naturally occurring substances with ingredient research support demonstrating their actions as guardians of the epigenome. These materials possess complex chemical structures and work in a variety of ways, with the combination bringing diverse approaches to health and wellness through a multitude of actions.* The end result is a more youthful feeling that results from synchronizing your genes with nature.

This being shared, I currently am on day 4 of my Herbal Cleanse, once I am finished with this I will start on BioTune for several reasons.

I currently use: OmegaPlex, MNS3,  Meal Replacement, Joint ProMotion, Catalyst, Rehydrate, and Spark. All of which I am thrilled to be apart of.

Do yourself a favor… focus on yourself! You deserve it.

“The most creative act you will ever
undertake is the act of creating yourself.” Deepak Chopra
When was the last time you worked on YOURSELF? Successful people tend to be among the most giving and selfless. You probably focus your time and energy on your family, your career, your friends, and your home. Do yourself a favor… focus on yourself! You deserve it. Strive to re-create who you are into who you want to be. You’ll find it to be among the most rewarding acts you ever engage in. – Nightingale-Conant Corporation

This week I have begun the ten day process of Advocare’s Herbal Cleanse. For me it is like drawing that line in the sand, a “New” beginning of sorts. A time for me to reflect somewhat on where I have been, how far I have come thus far – losing 23 pounds and many inches.  On day one I recorded my weight and measurements I will let you know in little over a week how I did.

Someone today who is also struggling with getting older and trying to lose weight asked me how I can control myself around all the “Junk” food that is lying around the workplace. I told her “This is why I take my AdvoCare vitamins; they give me the control over choosing what I want to eat viruses having the junk food just because it’s there”. After I said this I saw a warm fuzzy smile inside myself. Softly I heard that inner voice say, I am proud of you for taking the baby steps, you are right this is what your AdvoCare products does for you.

Do you feel that little voice saying “It’s time for you to focus more on yourself? “ If you are looking for a way to gain some control over food, or a Plan B income feel free to contact me.
