What is the #1 killer of both men and women in the United States? Heart disease
Heart disease IS preventable, if you choose to be active and make good choices about what you put in your mouth.
The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week. We're not just talking about candy and desserts here. Highly refined sugar is in EVERYTHING. We consume 135 lbs of sugar per person each year!
Why do you think so many people are experiencing health problems? It's because of toxins. They are everywhere! The levels of toxins we are exposed to daily compared to 100 years ago is staggering. What would you consider a toxin? A definition I like is: A toxin is a substance your body can't use as fuel and when they build up they cause damage to your cells.
We ingest toxins through our:
Lungs - The air we breathe
Skin - The products we use - About 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream
Mouth - A landmark report published in 2010 stated that the US government has grossly underestimated the risk of contracting cancer from toxins that we find in everyday food. (2010 The President's Cancer Panel).
Some toxins we ingest are unavoidable, but most are by choice! It's no wonder we are experiencing that statistics I mentioned earlier.
Our bodies have organs to fight and remove things that aren't good for us. Our detoxifying organs are our skin, lungs, colon, kidneys and our liver. Our skin is our largest organ, our second is what? Our liver. When we think of detoxifying or cleaning our system, your liver is absolutely vital. Dr. Oz says "The liver does more than 500 jobs inside your body".
It:
Detoxifies your body
Strengthens your immune system
Stores vital nutrients
Helps balance hormones and it even
Balances your blood sugar
Now that we know how crucial our liver is to our overall health, let's talk about how a healthy liver relates to your ideal weight.
What would you say is the main cause of excess weight?
When I started learning about healthy living, I was surprised to learn that:
Fat is a symptom - it isn't just unused calories. Fat is also created because of unprocessed toxins. Dr Barbara Beaty says, "You can tell is someone is toxic and hormonally imbalanced - When there is extra fat around the middle."
A toxic liver creates toxic fat - When toxins come into our system at a faster rate than we can process them, our body pulls those toxins away from your vital organs and holds them is fat stores.
The Good News is: When we clear out toxins, we can release fat stores and flush fat fast. This isn't just about going down a jean size or two (which is awesome), but about helping your body resist disease and improving your quality of life!
A Fresh Start
Now here we get started.
Today, we're going to talk about the "refresh button" and jump-starting your healthy lifestyle. We have a simple plan that helps you focus on two things:
Reducing the number of toxins you ingest and
Increasing the number you eliminate!
Because nutrition plays a large role in our health, we want to improve our nutrition by:
Consuming whole foods - Whole foods come WITHOUT a label
Avoiding possible allergens like gluten, corn, dairy, soy, refined sugar, alcohol, and coffee (disease thrives in an acid environment. Many of these are acidic inflammation causing).
Using Arbonne Essentials. Time to prepare the right foods. We all know that getting healthy HAS to be easy or we won't stick to it! Using our products greatly simplifies the program because you only have to think about one meal per day. You can have Arbonne meal replacement shakes for two of your meals and then just cook 3 meals per week.
*Our fresh start program is for four weeks and the goal is to develop habits for life!
This plan works!
People are saying this is the most effective, reasonable plan they've ever experienced and they've been able to:
Drop unwanted pounds (especially around the middle)
Increase energy
Boost Immunity
Improve sleep
Enhance digestion and elimination
Decrease joint pain
Increase mental clarity
Improve skin
Arbonne has created a line of Fit Essentials to support this program. These Essentials are formulated so your body can absorb every bit of nutrition from each product. You won't fin anything in the market like them! Every single product line is:
Gluten, dairy, soy protein & cholesterol free
No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners
Here are some of our products and some information how it helps your body improve:
Protein Shakes
Not only are they best on the market they are delicious! They:
Are a convenient meal replacement
Improve immunity
Increase energy
Help build and maintain muscle
22 vitamins and minerals
20 grams of vegetable protein (yellow peas, brown rice and cranberries)
*This is huge because most shakes are made with whey which causes inflammation or soy which is controversial because it affects estrogen levels in our body.
Daily Fiber Boost
Fiber is crucial to our health. Even cereal boxes talk about it and The American Cancer Society says a diet high is fiber reduces the risk of cancer.
Our Fiber Booster is tasteless and can be added to any food or beverage. It:
Helps lower cholesterol - (Cheerios lowers cholesterol with only 3 grams per serving. Our fiber booster has three times as much!!)
Helps balance blood sugar and helps you feel full longer.
(You can add this to pasta sauce, oatmeal, soups, etc. and you can sneak fiber into cookies, smoothies...you name it!)
Energy Fizz Tabs
How many people do you know that can't function until they have had their daily Starbucks?
Do you know people that drink 1,2 or even 3 sodas per day?
These no crash energy tabs are approx $1 per drink..., compare that to your favorite Latte' and you can begin to see the savings!
Our Energy Fizz Tabs are a healthy drink that can replace coffee, soda, and even dangerous drinks on the market. They provide:
Calm energy through B6 and B12 so you don't have the jitters and no crash
Increase mental clarity and focus
They also:
Help to control appetite and burn fat as well as

Fit Chews
How many of you would say you have a sweet tooth and feel like you could never give up desserts? Our fit chews are the answer!
You won't feel like you are missing out on anything! They:
Satisfy sweet cravings with only 30 calories
Taste fantastic - the chocolate tastes just like a tootsie roll

Herbal Detox Tea
As I mentioned before our liver needs to stay clean to do its 500 jobs, but did you know that your kidneys filter 200 quarts of blood each day? Our detox tea is delicious hot or cold, by itself or combines with a fizz tab! And it:
Gently cleanses your liver and kidneys
Supports weight loss digestion and
Helps rid your body of excess water weight
Omega - 3 Plus
Have you heard much recently about the importance of Omega - 3's? Your body can't make Omega 3's, so you must get them through either a supplement or you food. Many Omega 3's on the market are made from fish oil, which can contain mercury, and other dangerous toxins. Our Omega 3's are made from plants with no fishy aftertaste!
Do any of you struggle with poor concentration or memory or know people that do? Omega 3's can help! They also:
Help to reduce inflammation (which lowers the risk of chronic disease like cancer)
Protect the heart
Help lower bad and raise good cholesterol
Play an important role in memory, concentration and behavior
7-Day Body Cleanse
Wouldn't you agree that we take better care of our cars than we do our bodies? Because we can't shop for new organs, the 7 day cleanse provides that necessary "tune up" and oil change. It is:
Simple and convenient (you can continue to eat real food and you do NOT have to cal in sick to work or live in the bathroom!)
Helps make our body more alkaline (defense against disease)
Supports liver and GI tract health - Because our diets are low in fiber, our bodies aren't fully eliminating waste. Our GI tract can hold 5-10 lbs of waste. As a result it is not unusual to lose a few pounds when the cleanse is completed.
It is derived from Sea Botanical which helps detoxify your blood and rid your body of heavy metals.
After using this cleanse, people say their stomach feels flat, they feel energized and more focused.
Daily Power Packs
These are called power packs for a reason! And they are convenient! We've heard it said that you are what you eat. But the apples we eat are not the same apples that our grandparents ate, because our soil is so depleted that our food does not have the same nutritional value. In fact the journal of American Medical association recommends that every adult take a daily supplement. Arbonne believes you are what you ABSORB and studies prove you will lose more weight and more fat taking a vitamin/mineral supplement. The daily power packs:
Provide whole food nutrition
Strengthens immune systems
Improves digestion
Promotes bone and prostate health
Highly absorbable
Digestion Plus & Immunity Booster
Do you know anyone who has digestive issues? We have some incredible digestion products that are cutting edge in the market place.
Our digestion plus is packaged conveniently for on the go lifestyles. It can easily be dissolved in any liquid. Children and adults are raving about the taste of the immunity booster. It is absolutely essential during cold and flu season. It:
Minimizes gad and bloating
Supports balance of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fiber and lactose
Promotes strong and healthy immune system
Promotes a sense of well-being
I am in full agreement with the thought that, "Health is not valued until sickness comes". I just want to remind you that YOU ARE WORTH IT ... and so are your friends and loved ones - they deserve YOUR very best!
Gear up and get ready to start to detoxify! Order your Arbonne by Friday, April 6. Measurements and weigh ins will be before Monday nights kickboxing class, April 9th. Try to get there by 5:30. Also, Wednesday, April 11. Try to get there by 8:30.
