Be Well health tips

Allergies are the result of your immune system’s response to a substance. 

Immune responses can be mild, from coughing and a runny nose, to a life-threatening reaction know as anaphylaxis. A person becomes allergic when their body develops antigens against a substance.

Allergic disease is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the world. People with a family history of allergies have an increase risk of developing allergic disease. Hay fever (allergic rhinitis), eczema, hives, asthma, and food allergy are some types of allergic diseases. Allergy symptoms can range from mild to a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

Allergic reactions begin in your immune system. When a harmless substance such as dust, mold, or pollen is encountered by a person who is allergic to that substance, the immune system may over react by producing antibodies that “attack” the allergen. The can cause wheezing, itching, runny nose, watery or itchy eyes, and other symptoms.

Could Alfalfa help?

Alfalfa Complex

This is the time of the year when you will really want to add alfalfa to your supplement regime that is, only if you haven’t already experienced all the rich benefits of this fabulous plant. Seasonal changes in the weather often bring about sensitivities to various forms of pollen, mold and dust. So let’s see how Alfalfa plays a part in relieving allergy symptoms.

So here’s what we know about Alfalfa. It is one of nature’s richest sources of total food minerals and trace elements. Its many health-giving aspects have beneficial benefits for eyes, teeth and strong digestive systems, and connective tissues. Alfalfa roots burrow

20 feet into the ground to find precious trace minerals which when absorbed by the plant are stored in the leaves, stems and branches making it a veritable treasure of health giving nutrients.  It is the richest land grown source of sub-nutritional trace minerals; combined with chlorophyll and other organic salts that give greater effect and power of generation to tissues. The word Alfalfa means father of all foods, and one of nature’s oldest legumes.

Alfalfa is a legume that has a long history of dietary and medicinal uses. A small number of animal and preliminary human studies report that alfalfa supplements may lower blood levels of cholesterol and glucose. Now there are many factors that make this product outstanding. Alfalfa contains quantities of:

• Vitamins A, E, K, B, D & U,

• Fiber, protein, and fat soluble,

• 13 separate minerals and additional trace minerals,

• Contains 8 essential enzymes for digestion of proteins, fats, starches and sugars.

Shaklee Alfalfa is grown in the Antelope Valley without herbicides pesticides or organic fertilizers. This alfalfa is harvested at dawn when the leaves have the highest nitrogen and chlorophyll content. The cuttings are dried in the open air, the natural old fashioned way, and once dried, the alfalfa is ready to be milled and the leaf is separated from the desirable stem. The end product is a fine, green colored alfalfa “flour” which then goes though the tableting process.

Alfalfa complex is a Shaklee Signature Formula originally developed by Dr. Shaklee.

So now that know we have this fabulous natural product, what benefits might we experience. The list is endless but we will cover a few………

• A great aid in digestion,

• Aids in peptic ulcers,

• Great diuretic and bowel regulator,

• Effective barrier against bacterial invasion,

• Anti- inflammatory, anti-histamine.

• Natural body deodorizer,

• Helps support the natural ph of the blood and much more.

Just remember that Alfalfa is known as a complete food. Now this may surprise you,

Some of the other properties that alfalfa has: An outstanding 18.9% protein as compared to beef 16.5%; milk 3.3% and eggs 13.1%. Isn’t that amazing!! Remember muscles are composed of protein and the lack of it causes them to break down resulting in fatigue and weakness.

In summary: If you want a general all around food supplement to support your many daily needs you will definitely want to consider Alfalfa and its broad spectrum of nutrients. And with that being said, you can now appreciate why Alfalfa is called the father of all foods.

Side note: Now I know that some of you are wondering what is vitamin U, so let’s satisfy your curiosity! Vitamin U plays an important role in maintaining health, vitality and well-being. Targets Acid Reflux and inflamed Gastro Intestinal lining instantly on contact. And one last surprising piece of information: did you know that each serving provides 300 mg of calcium about as much as in a glass of milk! You can now see why Alfalfa is considered a complete food and by the way, Scripture calls Alfalfa King of the vegetable family.

What is the immune system?

The purpose of the immune system is to defend itself and keep microorganisms, such as certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi, out of the body, and to destroy any infectious microorganisms that do invade the body. The immune system is made up of a complex and vital network of cells and organs that protect the body from infection.

The organs involved with the immune system are called the lymphoid organs. They affect growth, development, and the release of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). The blood vessels and lymphatic vessels are important parts of the lymphoid organs. They carry the lymphocytes to and from different areas in the body. Each lymphoid organ plays a role in the production and activation of lymphocytes.

Lymphoid organs include:

• Adenoids (two glands located at the back of the nasal passages)
• Appendix (a small tube that is connected to the large intestine)
• Blood vessels (the arteries, veins, and capillaries through which blood flows)
• Bone marrow (the soft, fatty tissue found in bone cavities)
• Lymph nodes (small organs shaped like beans, which are located throughout the body and connect via the lymphatic vessels)
• Lymphatic vessels (a network of channels throughout the body that carries lymphocytes to the lymphoid organs and bloodstream)
• Peyer’s patches (lymphoid tissue in the small intestine)
• Spleen (a fist-sized organ located in the abdominal cavity)
• Thymus (two lobes that join in front of the trachea behind the breast bone)
• Tonsils (two oval masses in the back of the throat)

How does a person become allergic?

Allergens can be inhaled, ingested, or enter through the skin. Common allergic reactions, such as hay fever, certain types of asthma, and hives are linked to an antibody produced by the body called immunoglobulin E (IgE). Each IgE antibody can be very specific, reacting against certain pollens and other allergens. In other words, a person can be allergic to one type of pollen, but not another. When a susceptible person is exposed to an allergen, the body starts producing a large quantity of similar IgE antibodies. The next exposure to the same allergen may result in an allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergic reaction will vary depending on the type and amount of allergen encountered and the manner in which the body’s immune system reacts to that allergen.

Allergies can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. Generally, allergies are more common in children. However, a first-time occurrence can happen at any age, or recur after many years of remission. Hormones, stress, smoke, perfume, or environmental irritants may also play a role in the development or severity of allergies.

Please tell me and my readers how Alfalfa worked for you. Thanks for reading and happy dye nose when walking in the forest.

Earth Day has been an important marker of health for me since the very first celebration in 1970. This year’s Earth Day theme is ‘Planet vs Plastics’.

The people at EARTHDAY.ORG are unwavering in their commitment to end plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduction in the production of ALL plastics by 2040. The theme, Planet vs. Plastics, calls to advocate for widespread awareness of the health risks of plastics, rapidly phase out all single-use plastics, urgently push for a strong UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution, and demand an end to fast fashion.

The simplest way to reduce plastic waste is to avoid unnecessary and single-use plastics, support businesses who are reducing plastic waste.

Join in as we build a plastic-free planet for generations to come!

One helpful move is to switch to Shaklee products for cleaning and laundry. Yes, the bottles are made of plastic, so it doesn’t get rid of all plastics. But the products are so concentrated, especially Basic H2, that each bottle lasts 3 – 4 times longer than the ready to use bottles you buy from the grocery store. Shaklee doesn’t send California’s water to you. You add your own when you use the Household Cleaner, the liquid hand wash, the fabric softener. Shaklee’s 14lb box of laundry soap is the bargain of the year. A good way to reduce plastic waste.

Shaklee has led the way to carbon footprint reduction. Read on to learn what the company has done.

The shine of a gloss, the comfort or a balm, and a touch of sheer color. Who wouldn’t want a healing balm for the lips that feels lovely and makes you look lovely?

Shaklee introduced GLAZE a few months ago. I had to try it myself over time before letting my faithful readers know my recommendations. Many of you are settled with the products you like and renew regularly from Shaklee. These Shaklee products supplement whatever your health regimen is. I appreciate your loyalty to the Shaklee products you have decided are priced right and are beneficial to your health.

Indulge me in my plea for you to try some of the new products Shaklee has introduced in the last year or so. Perhaps you would like a change but you are reluctant to branch out from your routine. I, too, get in a rut with my skin care regimen, my morning and evening beverage, the sources of protein and fresh food and the recipes I prepare over and over.

It’s Spring! Time to try something new!

Glaze is formulated with avocado oil and shea butter to produce a high shine, moisturizer that protects and nourishes. It’s non-sticky, vegan and cruelty free AND it’s infused with anti-aging Pomifera oil.

Pomifera oil comes from the Maclura pomifera fruit, recently discovered to provide a botanical oil that is a potent source of antioxidants, omega-6, and other bioactives. It is cold-press isolated from the seeds of the fruit and combined with plant oils to create everyday essentials for visibly healthy, glowing skin. Shaklee created a simple skin care line for a minimalist approach to nourishing and protecting your skin on a daily basis. And now, this: GLAZE.

Only $26 for a tube (Member price). A money-back guarantee if you use it and don’t like it.

What are people saying about Pomifera GLAZE?

Best Lip Gloss EVER. These three Lip Glaze not only have beautiful colors that all work for me, but the protect and moisturize my lips better than anything I have ever used. My lips are very sensitive and most products irritate my lips. These Glazes sooth my lips instantly and protect them for a long time. I get the side benefit of having the beautiful colors to wear. Linda A.

I am not a lip product person but gave this a try. It goes on easy but I find I am reapplying it often as it doesn’t stay, even when I am not eating or drink anything. Maybe it is just soaking into my lips? The are smoother and less chapped with the use of this product and I do love the color. I keep it in the console of my vehicle so that I reminded to use it daily. Janice R.

Be well, Do well, and Keep Moving, Betsy

Just in time to save my cracked lips!

My lips get really chapped any time its windy or temperatures have drastic shifts. Right before I tried this, my lips were the worst in a while- cracked in 2 places! This serum soothed at first application and with just an AM and PM reapply, my lips have never felt or looked better. I love the light summery scent and that the taste is neutral. I love how smooth it goes on and stays on without feeling heavy, goopy, or sticky. New fave product! For a gal who is in the mountains no matter what the weather, exposed to rain, sleet, snow, this is a Godsend.

But is it safe?

February 14th brings to mind our loved ones and our wish for them (and for ourselves) a long and healthy life. Yet many of us continue to live a Heart-Unhealthy lifestyle. If you missed my post, here’s a chance to take another look. As you untie that box of chocolates (dark, I hope) and tip back that rich Merlot, consider this a wake-up call.

Read (re-read) the health-tips and see for yourself where little habits might shift to induce better choices. It is not about giving up chocolate and red wine. It is about perspective, balance, finding joy and deliciousness in taking a walk, having more salad and good fats (avocado, salmon) in your everyday meals. Love yourself to better health and maybe even a longer, more robust life ahead.

Be well, Do Well, and Keep Moving. Betsy

Share this post with your loved one and I thank you.

Take care of your heart and you will have a fighting chance to see old age and be able to enjoy physical activity up to the end. People tell me they don’t want to live to be 100 if they are in and out of the doctor’s office and hospital for the last fifteen of those one-hundred years. They would rather die suddenly, in good health, from a heart attack. Sudden death from heart failure is rare. Fewer than a million of us Americans die of a heart attack each year, but heart disease claims 1 in 5 of us annually and has been the leading cause of death in the US for 100 years.

Doctors tell us what lifestyle changes we need to make. They are ready to “manage” heart disease with drugs. The problem is that most of us will not die suddenly. We will slowly sink toward death less and less able to live a physically active life.

February is Heart Health Month. Valentine’s Day brings our loved ones to mind. We want them to be part of our lives for years to come. The truth is that modern medicine can support us into very old age and many of us will reach 100. What will be the quality of those last twenty years? It is up to us. Not entirely. Many factors cause our health to deteriorate and not all of them are under our control, but we can do a lot to prevent heart disease.

Heart Disease Risk Factors

• High blood pressure. High blood pressure, or hypertension, has long been recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
• High cholesterol. Extra cholesterol can build up on artery walls and reduce blood flow to the heart.
• Diabetes. Adults with diabetes are two to four times more likely to die from heart disease as people who don’t have it.
• Depression. Adults with a depressive disorder or symptoms of depression have a 64% greater risk of developing coronary artery disease.
• Obesity. Being overweight is linked to several factors that increase the risk for cardiovascular disease, including diabetes and high blood pressure.

Heart Risk Behaviors

• Smoking. Smoking is a major cause of cardiovascular disease & causes around 1in 4 heart disease deaths.
• Eating a poor diet. A diet that’s high in fat, salt, sugar, and cholesterol can contribute to heart disease.
• Not exercising. Even though exercise reduces the risk for heart disease and early death, only about half of Americans get the recommended amount of aerobic activity.
• Drinking alcohol excessively. Heavy alcohol use can increase the risk for heart attack, heart failure, and death. Excess drinking can damage the heart before symptoms even appear.

Prevention

The good news is that heart disease is preventable. Controlling these risk factors can reduce a person’s risk for a heart attack and stroke by more than 80 percent.

Follow these six simple tips to keep your ticker ticking:

• Have no more than one to two alcoholic drinks per day for men, and one drink per day for women. One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer (a bottle), 5 ounces of wine (a proper glass), and 1.5 ounces of spirits.
• Eat a diet that’s free of trans fats, low in saturated fats, cholesterol, salt, and sugar, and high in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, omega-3 fatty acids, and dark chocolate.
• Exercise at moderate intensity for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
• Limit stress. Try meditating, spending time with people you love, getting enough sleep, and seeking counseling if you need it.
• Quit smoking today. Get help quitting here.
• Work with your doctor to manage your blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight.

The cost of caring for cardiovascular disease is more than $351 billion per year. Nearly $214 billion pays for the care of people with heart disease, while more than $137 billion goes to lost productivity.

Heart attack is one of the most expensive conditions treated in U.S. hospitals. Its care costs an estimated $11.5 billion a year.

By 2035, more than 45 percent of Americans are projected to have some form of cardiovascular disease. Total costs of cardiovascular disease are expected to reach $1.1 trillion in 2035, with direct medical costs expected to reach $748.7 billion and indirect costs estimated to reach $368 billion.

Protect Your Heart Health with Shaklee Vitamins and Supplements

A healthy diet, exercise, and positive changes to your lifestyle can make a difference. And support from our dietary supplements may help take you one step closer to reclaiming your heart health.

Promote Blood Circulation and Healthy Blood Vessels and Arteries*

Your heart is the most crucial piece of your biological puzzle, but it has tons of support. The heart is the pump that pushes blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout your body. But it relies on your arteries and vessels to deliver them! Those pathways play an important role in your overall health.

One of the best ways to see improvements is to support that transportation system. By improving blood circulation, you’re putting less strain on your heart and allowing it to pump more efficiently*.

Our Blood Pressure supplement contains natural ingredients like beet powder, spinach powder, quercetin, and magnesium to retain your blood pressure and promote better blood flow. It’s a valuable source of dietary nitrates. The nitrates are vasodilators that dilate the vessels to allow more efficient blood flow.

We also offer CoQHeart® with Q-Trol®. CoQHeart prioritizes energy production and supports healthy arteries*. The main active ingredient is a blend of coenzyme and resveratrol. Coenzyme Q10 is the heart of the supplement.

But what is CoQ10? It is a powerful antioxidant. As is resveratrol. It plays a crucial part in cell energy production and overall maintenance. The coenzyme makes energy available to every cell, so it’s vital for supporting blood vessel health.

Unfortunately, CoQ10 levels decline with age. A supplement like CoQHeart replenishes your coenzyme supply, protecting your living cells and supporting your blood vessels.

Taking our supplements can make a noticeable difference. They help reduce how much work your heart has to do to pump blood throughout your body. You’re doing your heart a favor by supporting circulation.

May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease*

Think of your heart as the battery that sustains life. Your heart is responsible for delivering blood, oxygen, and essential nutrients to every part of the body, supporting crucial biological functions to keep you healthy!

A focus on healthy eating and living is combating old habits. But it’s more important than ever to take action and protect the organ that keeps your body ticking.

To support heart health, many people resort to using everything from omega-3 fatty acids to vitamin E or vitamin B6 to solve the problem. Fortunately, we have potent supplements. Both the Blood Pressure and CoQHeart® with Q-Trol® supplements may make a difference. However, our Cholesterol Reduction Complex* can support heart health moving forward.

This product helps reduce cholesterol levels.

The Cholesterol Reduction Complex supplement provides 2,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols when taken daily. Sterols and stanols are naturally occurring compounds in plant cell membranes. More than 80 studies found that these compounds lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

The sterols and stanols essentially compete for absorption in the intestines. They have a similar structure to LDL cholesterol.

Support Your Cardiovascular Function with Our Proven Ingredients

When you take our dietary supplements, you can rest easy knowing that you benefit from proven ingredients. It’s all heart-healthy ingredients backed by science. No one does it better than Mother Nature, and our nutritional supplements take full advantage of everything she has to offer.

Our products help you effectively support cardiovascular function in many ways. They’re easy to implement into your daily routine, and every supplement we offer is backed by trusted science. There’s no better time than now to take action and be proactive about keeping your body’s most important organ in good shape. Use these products as part of a healthy lifestyle, and you’re well on your way to achieving better heart health.

You can find the Heart Healthy products on my Personal Website, www.HiHoHealth.com.

Make the lifestyle changes and supplement with these products and I may see you around living it up for many years to come.

Be well, Do well, and Keep Moving! Betsy
