Do you think about your Bone Health?

There are so many people suffering from bone loss as they get older and people don’t realize they need to make sure they  are supporting their bone health while they are young to prevent issues as they get older.

---

Most people think that bones are hard, lifeless parts of their bodies. Actually bones are living organs full of blood and cells that are an active part of our overall health. Far from static, our bones are constantly rebuilding themselves and growing stronger or weaker depending on how active we are and how well we are supplying the nutrients they need.

It is a fact of life that our bones lose minerals as we age. Bone loss starts around 30 years old. If left unchecked, bone loss can lead to osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones lose minerals such as calcium until they become fragile and break easily.

Bringing Home the Bling: 2014 Sochi Olympics

Safe, effective, and easily available to everyone, from regular people, to weekend worriers, to Olympic athletes is what makes Shaklee so great.

Our daughter Elisabeth, was always on the chubby side when she was young and she struggled with her weight for years as she realized she was heavier than most of the family and her friends. She had tried several diets and never had good results that lasted until almost three years ago when she used the Shaklee 180 products. She lost 40 pound and then has been able to keep it off.

This quite possibly could be the last weight-loss program you'll ever need!

This is our daughter!

Tip #12 How to Save Money on Bottled Water

Click “Like” on Facebook for more family updates. 

We are back! We were on a vacation, which was awesome, I will post about it later. Sorry about being behind on our money saving tips. Our intent was to have post scheduled to go out, but that obviously didn’t happen. We know a lot of you are enjoying our tips to get out of debt, so we will continue with our them.

We love to have purified water and don’t trust the water coming out of the faucet, (We have well water with a water softener) but buying bottled water is not the answer for various reasons (mostly for your wallet).

Shaklee Athletes to watch for in the Olympics!

Like us on Facebook now to receive updates on the Shaklee Olympian Athletes.

I am not much of a sports fan myself, but I do enjoy watching the Olympics with my family. Another thing I like about the Olympics is that is gets the whole world joined for some competition and fun.  Not only are the people together actually playing the games themselves, but they come alive in just about everyone’s house through the TV, computers, and now on the go everywhere, with smart phones, giving updates.

 


There are eight athletes that are a part of the Shaklee Pure Performance Team who have qualified for the Games in London. Let’s follow these athletes, and watch them bring home the GOLD!

Tips to Healthier Living Series: Part Two, Reading Labels

Today in Part two of my tips to Healthier Living Series, I am going to explain what I look for on a label and what ingredients I stay away from. You could read Part One here, if you missed it. It explains how I shop and start with the square.

When shopping the isles, the less healthy food choices, I usually read the label and check the ingredient list. You would think I would check the nutritional value of the item, but to tell you the truth, I don’t look at that at all. I look at the ingredients and the type of fat and sugar that is in the item.

Tips to Healthier Living Series: Part one

This being National Health Month I thought I would tell our story on how we are now living healthier. Around 13 years ago I started on a health kick. My family was having some health issues and I felt we were always at the doctor for some reason. I started researching and studying about health and nutrition and realized how the two were related and very important. You would think it would be obvious, but with everything that is advertised out there it is very difficult to know what is actually healthy and good for you, or what is not. Since then I have changed my shopping and cooking habits. I try and stay away from a lot of processed foods. (There are times I am better at this than others.) I also use purified water, and have changed all my cleaning products to safe, non-toxic cleaners. I didn’t do it all at once, I changed a little at a time over a couple of years. We also started taking high-quality nutritional supplements that are all natural, back with clinical proof. Since then I have not had to take the children to the doctor for any sick visits. We have been to the emergency room several times for injuries, but with 12 children and 7 of them boys things are bound to happen. I am not saying my children never get sick, we just get sick a lot less often and I am able to help them get better through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

During this series I am going to be sharing my tips on how we stay healthy.

Today I am going to give you my some of my shopping tips.
