Why being Vegetarian / Vegan is the way to go

I must admit 1 month ago I would have completely dismissed the idea of going Vegetarian, let alone going Vegan.

Though, I think we all need to have an open mind. We must be able to make choices based on facts and to be the healthiest you can be.

What is the Definition of being Vegetarian and Vegan?
Vegetarian is not eating any meat from red meat, poultry and seafood. Can still eat eggs and dairy.

Vegan is not eating anything derived from an animal.

So what has helped me make this choice? .... A few things but mainly a few documentaries on how animals are manufactured to cater for our needs. 

The first documentary I watched was, Earthlings. One word SHOCKING!



The second documentary I watched which really made me think, was this video called "Vegucated". 



Its really important to let you know that Its not about being an Animal Activist or Animal Equality. Its all about giving your body the best nutrition possible to live a healthy life.

After watching these videos, you realise that eating flesh from an animal is not the way to go to be healthy. Im not saying eating Animal flesh is not healthy, its the way that Animal flesh has come about and you can see from these documentaries that its not natural and not clean.

So I made a choice about a month ago to begin a journey where I will try to be as close to Vegan as possible. That means to be at least Vegetarian.

There is also a study, called the "The China Study" which shows that people who ate more plant based foods were less likely to get diseases like heart disease and some cancers. Here is another video about this study.



I think its taking Health to another level, though, if you really value your health, than making sure you eat CLEAN food is the best choice.

I can say that the last month has not been a big change, its just a choice to choose a healthier alternative. It has also encourage me to cook vegan meals which previously I wouldn't even think of cooking. I feel inspired and passionate about making sure my family gets healthy meals.

By changing to a Vegan or Vegetarian diet, combined with the healthiest nutrition in the world in Herbalife Nutrition and regular exercise I know I can live a Healthy & Active lifestyle.

Protect yourself from cold's & flu's this Winter



I believe in Prevention rather than cure.

Especially as we start the colder season, we begin to be more prone to getting sick with colds & flu's.

It is essential that everyone has a powerful Probiotic.

Here is a small video which explains your GOOD & BAD Bacteria in your GUT and how PROBIOTICS work.



So now that you know more about How Probiotics work, I will explain more about a powerful probiotic from Herbalife called FloraFibre.
Florafibre
FloraFibre

Herbalife's FloraFibre supports general well-being and contains 2 vital functions - the Friendly Bacteria & Fibre. By combining these 2 functions you have a proper balance of intestinal bacteria and the fibre keeps the digestive system in balance.

There are 4 key ingredients:
1. Lactobacillius Acidophilus - enhances the body's ability to control pathogenic micro-organisms, helps support the immune function and naturally improves bowel function.
2. Cellulose - a complex carbohydrate (dietary fibre). Helps with the elimination of waste from the digestive tract.
3. Psyllium seed husks - one of the richest sources of dietary fibre which helps treat ulcers, colitis and constipation.
4. Apple Pectin - a soluble fibre to help contribute to a well-balanced diet.

Florafibre comes in tablet form and does not need to be refrigerated. It has no calories and is taken with water. Take 1 to 2 tablets three times a day.


I know with myself after using Florafibre product for the last 7 years, my immune system is extremely strong. Before starting to use this product, I used to always get sick. My sickness would usually last between 4 to 7 days with medication. Now I don't usually get sick, but if I do, my sickness only last 24 hours, without any medication.

If you would like to know more on how to get Herbalife's Florafibre to protect you over winter and beyond, please contact me on 0405 644 551.

DISEASE...Natural progression or Preventable?

Feeding your cells balanced nutrition

Something which I learnt today which I would like to share with everyone that is so vital to understand.

So why do humans get disease? Is disease just a way of life that we have to live with or is it something we can prevent?

You have to understand that your body is made up of approximately 1 trillion cells.

Each cell must have 114 nutrients every day.

The cells get these nutrients from the food you eat.

As you go through life, you have to make sure you give your cells all these nutrients every day to make sure they are healthy.

If these cells, over time, do not get all the nutrients that they need, they start to deplete.

There are 3 stages of Cellular Degeneration
Stage 1: Cell Depletion, This happens in the early stages of life through your teens and early adult life.
Stage 2: Deficiency, where you start feeling symptoms like lack of energy, illnesses and other signs of deficiency in nutrition
Stage 3: Dysfunction  which leads to disease that may include High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Diabetes, Kidney Failure, Heart Disease, Cancer.

It is quite important to understand that disease is not something you get suddenly, though its something that happens over time through not providing the cells of your body all the vital nutrients it needs.

A great reference to read up on all this information is from a book called "Health is Wealth" by Dr Lou Ignarro.

Dr Lou Ignarro is a Nobel Laureate in his research on heart disease. You can read more at www.HealthisWealth.net.

Dr Lou Ignarro works with Herbalife in providing the human body with 100% balanced nutrition through its cellular nutrition products.

I know through using the Herbalife products that I feel so much better compared to where I was before.

Some of the things that have improved:

  • Energy
  • No more Hayfever
  • No more Sinus
  • cold's and flu's are rare and last only 24 hours.
  • Skin, nails and hair are stronger
  • Lost 13.1 kg's in 14 weeks and keep it off for 7 years
Disease is definitely preventable. So load up yourself with the best nutrition through the Herbalife products.

Here is my tablet box or my health insurance against disease.
