The following tips are meant as guidelines only to help you make the right food choices for a healthier and leaner body.
Learn about the Glycaemic Index (GI)
If you are serious about weight loss, but want to sustain good health at the same time, you should learn how to keep the GI level in control to ensure regulation of your blood sugar. It is easier than you thought. Start by replacing the GI high foods with some GI lean foods:
- Whole wheat bread instead of white bread.
- Brown instead of white rice.
- Replace potatoes with pastas.
- Replace processed white sugar with brown sugar and where possible, with honey.
In addition, add flaxseed oil, green tea and loads of water to your diet. To lower the GI level of your meals you can also add the following:
- Organic acids such as apple vinegar to meals that contain a high level of starch.
- Green veggies to high starch meals.
Apart from taking simple steps such as not eating very ripe fruits, replacing certain foods and doing regular exercise, you can lower the GI level through Herbalife supplements. All the Herbalife products have comprehensive product descriptions listing the relevant nutrition facts.

Benefits of Omega 3 health products
Why should you use Omega 3 health products? The fatty acids in this category are vital for brain and cardiovascular health. Fats make up more than 58% of our brains of which around 50% of the fats is a particular type of Omega 3 fat called DHA. To ensure optimal brain functioning, we need up to 4 grams of the fatty acid in our daily diet according to experts. Unfortunately our diets do not include enough Omega 3 and we thus need to obtain it through supplements.
Apart from the benefits to the brain, the Omega 3 health products also contribute to optimal heart functioning as blood clotting is prevented and the arteries kept clean through the Omega 3 fatty acids. Poor skin conditions and dandruff have been associated with a lack of Omega 3 in the diet. Even overweight problems can be curbed when taking Omega 3 as the fatty acids contain fat burning qualities.
Although fish should be an important part of the daily diet, polluted waters have caused high mercury content in fish and if we take cheap Omega 3 supplements, we risk the danger of toxin build-up in our bodies. To ensure optimal benefits from the intake of supplements we should select high quality Omega 3 supplements.
One of the scientifically tested and approved Omega 3 health product that can be recommend is the Herbalifeline from Herbalife. This supplement contains three essential oils – thyme, peppermint and clove, which help keep the fish oil fresh and pure and reduce any fishy aftertaste and has been formulated to help maintain supple joints, and to support the natural function of the heart and circulation. The ingredients are all essential for normal growth, cell functioning, skin, artery, and heart functioning.
