Getting a Grip on Stress

Supplements offer a key component in the effort to gain control for the growing number of Americans who say they are stressed out.

According to the American Psychological Association, World Health Organization and the American Institute for Stress, the major sources of stress for most people revolve around finances – today’s uncertain economy, personal debt, unemployment etc. This stress is so prevalent today that between 65 and 90 percent of North Americans have “enough” stress to result in a stress-related disease.

THE STRESS RESPONSE • Increased neural excitability

• Increased cardiovascular activity

• Heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, blood pressure

• Increased metabolic activity

• Gluconeogenesis

• Protein mobilization

• Decreased antibody production

• Muscle wasting

• Fat mobilization

• Increased sodium retention

• Increase in neurological sweating

• Change in salivation

• Change in GI system tonus and motility

AMERICAN BREAKFAST

Fabricated Food

•The machine used for making shaped cereals, called an ‘extruder’ The mixture is then heated. •This extrusion process, besides creating a sweet, crunchy cereal, destroys much of the nutrient content of the ingredients. •Even the chemical vitamins, added before the extrusion process, are damaged by it. The amino acid lysine, a crucial nutrient, is especially ravaged by extrusion.

The Discovery That Has Changed the Face of Nutrition Forever

Human longevity depends upon the ability of the body to recover and rebuild

Shaklee created a protein product that triggers the recovery and rebuilding process

It’s not the protein that’s important – it’s the amino acid content of the protein

For Thirty years Shaklee worked on extracting these powerful 9 essential amino acids and delivering them with their unique bioavailable delivery system

The Power of the Protein is the Power of the Amino Acids

$It’s not the protein that’s important – it’s

the amino acid content of the protein

Soy Protein

•Can get all nine of the essential amino acids daily to start every body process:

•Live Natural enzymes •Nutra-ceutical – many unknown compounds being discovered every day

•Phyto-chemicals produced by the plant, phyto-hormones, phyto-estrogens

•Natural vegetable fiber

•More bio-available protein per gram of protein

•Not contaminated with viruses and bacteria

•Key: Contains many unknown factors that mother nature still holds. Absorption, utilization and digestion are greatly increased with vegetable protein. Very important as we age and very important for our digestive system.

Why Change Proteins?

Animal Protein

•Not complete – missing many amino acids

•Contains large amounts of fat •Can be contaminated with bacteria & Viruses

•When heated most enzymes are lost

•No fiber

•No nutra-ceuticals

•As we age, Animal Protein is very hard to assimilate and digest as our digestive system changes

•Uric Acid

•Saturated fats

•Undigested protein in the kidneys

•Acid formation in the blood – which raises blood PH to acid

•Key to good health – keep blood PH alkaline, which is important to the immune system

THE WHOLE STORY

The muscle cell is broken down and is tired. It needs glucose and amino acids to recover and build.

Insulin is the main muscle building hormone in the body. It opens the ”cells door” to let in all of the nutrients the cell needs

Every door needs a door knob (insulin receptor). The knob is chromium.

Once the door is opened, a quality mix of glucose, branched chain amino acids, and the rest of the essential amino acids must be available for maximum muscle building, bulk, and recovery.

There Are Three Phases to Building Muscle

Catabolic: Muscle tissue is broken down every dayRecovery: Glucose and amino acids pump into the muscle.Anabolic: Using glucose and amino acids, the muscle rebuild stronger and larger

Bio-Hormone Release

The clinical research now proves chromium nicotinate combined

with a long chain branched delivery system, rebuilds muscle

tissue faster and better and converts body fat back to muscle

tone.

WHY LET MUSCLE ACHES SIDELINE YOU?

This product is 45% of the 3 muscle building power of

Valine – Leucine - Isoleucine

Nature does speak, in no uncertain terms to us all. And, as man is a product of Nature, he may, if he so desires, receive helpful guidance from Nature, for Nature is the

expression of the creator. So when you share Shaklee products, remember, you are sharing the best.
