This epidemic extends into adolescence, where 14 percent of U.S. children are considered overweight. As an Herbalife Customer, you are in an excellent position to help reverse this deadly trend by promoting Herbalife’s Thermojetics® Green Weight-Management Programs and Gold High-Protein, Low-Carb Programs, which have helped millions lose weight and improve their health. Even Modest Weight Loss Reduces Health Risks Archives of Internal Medicine An article in the September 2001 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine emphasized the unrealistic expectations people have about weight loss. The obese patient is often disappointed with the amount of weight he or she loses. It is important to know that even modest weight losses of 5 to 10 percent of total body weight are successful for reducing the risk of the medical conditions associated with obesity. Help your customers be realistic about the rapidity and extent of weight loss. Following one of Herbalife’s weight-management programs can help them achieve long-term weight management. Meal Replacements Proven to Help Control Weight Archives of Internal Medicine In the July 2001 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers from the University of Nevada Medical School studied meal replacements and concluded they were an effective way to achieve long-term weight control. Because meal-replacement programs offer convenience and the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of foods, dieters were more likely to follow the programs through weight loss and on to a maintenance program. By continuing to use one or more meal-replacement shakes after the dieter reached his or her weight goal, maintaining the pound and inch loss was achievable and realistic over a long period of time. Antioxidants Support Eye Health Archives of Ophthalmology In the October 2001 issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, a vitamin-antioxidant preparation was shown to reduce by 25 percent the likelihood of blindness in people with established macular degeneration. The product consisting of antioxidant vitamins and high levels of zinc was studied over the course of many years. This program lacked the important antioxidant, lutein, which supports eye health and is one of the ingredients in Herbalife’s Ocular Defense Formula*. We have the natural solution to help people support their vision.* Schizandra Plus is another great source of antioxidants. The Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids The Archives of Internal Medicine The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition You’re familiar with the benefits of fish oil as found in Herbalifeline®. Not only is it important to promote a healthy heart, but it also promotes ocular health while improving one’s mood.* An article in The Archives of Internal Medicine reviewed the many studies that support the use of Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil in the reduction of heart disease. A research article in the October, 2001 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, as well as an editorial, further supports the benefits with the editorial concluding, “Physicians should become acquainted with the powerful potential of these fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids have immense public health significance for the control of the current coronary epidemic.” This is something Herbalife Distributors have known for a long time. The ultra-pure and potent Herbalifeline® is the best fish oil product available today. Selenium for Good Prostate Health The Journal of Urology The benefits of selenium– which have already been shown in other studies to reduce the incidence of cancer–have been reinforced by a 1998 study in The Journal of Urology. The authors found that men with the highest levels of selenium have one-fourth to one-fifth fewer prostate cancer cases than men with low levels of selenium. That is why Ultimate Prostate Formula contains selenium, as does Schizandra Plus. When you take Ultimate Prostate Formula, Schizandra Plus, Thermojetics® Formula 1 Protein Drink Mix and our exceptional vitamin/mineral combination, Thermojetics® Formula 2 Multivitamin- Mineral & Herbal Tablets, you get 200 mcgs. of selenium, which is an optimum amount for cellular protection.* Lower Cancer Risk with Vitamin C Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention In the October 2001 issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention, an article entitled "Nutrient Intake and Risk of Subtypes of Esophageal and Gastric Cancer" showed that vitamin C supplementation led to a lower incidence of cancer of the esophagus and stomach. We already know the many benefits of the antioxidant vitamin C and the exceptional value associated with the natural forms of it. Extreme C is an excellent source of this powerhouse antioxidant and should be taken daily for best results. Schizandra Plus and Ocular Defense Formula also contain moderate amounts of vitamin C. Herbs and Your Good Health The Annals of Internal Medicine An article in The 2001 Annals of Internal Medicine entitled “Herbal Medicine Today and the Roots of Modern Pharmacology” reviewed the importance of herbs in the development of modern drugs. One of the examples they used was St. John’s Wort and the fact that the active component may be hyperforin rather than hypericin as previously thought. Once again Herbalife is ahead of the game as our St. John’s Wort with Uplifting Herbs contains hyperforin. It is another example of Herbalife science not only keeping pace, but leading the way in delivering the most scientifically advanced form of herbs available.
