When you think of calcium you tend to think of healthy bones.  And for some reason, we have the perception that women have higher calcium needs than men. The primary role of calcium is to maintain healthy bone structure in the body and is therefore as important for men as for women.

The World Health Organisation recommends a daily intake of 1300mg calcium for both men and women.  Some of the most calcium rich products are dairy products, however, there are also various other food sources that contain calcium.  Even so, meeting the daily limit for calcium just by food intake is a tall order.  This is where a healthy supplement can help.  The supplements should not be used as a replacement for a poor diet, but as a way of supplementing a nutritionally balanced diet.

Your calcium rich food sources include: 230g plain yoghurt (450mg), glass of milk (350mg), cup of cooked spinach (230g), 30g mozzarella (150mg).  Your Herbalife meal replacement, the Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix (mixed with 250ml low fat milk) contains 412mg of calcium and the Herbalife Multivitamin (1 tablet) will bring another 167mg of calcium to your diet.  Therefore, if you are following the Herbalife weight loss programme which includes 2 shake meal replacements a day and a daily dosage of Herbalife vitamins (3 a day), you will be adding 1325mg calcium to your diet.

The Herbalife range of products contains various other supplements to improve your healthy lifestyle and wellbeing, as you manage your weight.  Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain weight or just maintain your weight, Herbalife has a programme tailor-made for you.

Are you concerned about your husband’s weight?  At least once a week a concerned wife contacts me about helping her husband to lose weight.  Often her concern is coupled with worries about his health, cholesterol and more.  This is a real concern for many women as they want to ensure the health and longevity of their family and do what is best for their husbands.

The easy answer to this concern is to get your husband’s buy-in to the process of weight loss.  Be careful not to criticise (this will only bring about resistance), but rather share your honest concerns and remind him what you love about him.  More than anything respect his decision and be willing to help. Even if you have his buy-in, it makes a world of difference if the wife supports the process by helping to prepare meals and ensuring the house is full of healthy snacks.  If you want your husband to lose weight, you will have to help.

Your aim needs to be to improve his metabolism, provide foods that give healthy and long-lasting energy, that is a good source of protein and that is enjoyable.  Here are a few things you will need to do:

1. Remove all junk food from the house.  Stock the fridge with healthy snacks like fruit sticks and smoothies.

2. Change the whole family’s eating pattern.  It definitely won’t work if your hubby has a plate full of steamed vegetables and the rest of you are having fried chicken and chips.  Rather all join in and make it a family effort.

3. Cook low fat, low carb food.  Be creative with seasoning the foods (start adding fresh herbs, cinnamon, etc) to ensure they are still tasty.  Don’t cook in oil.

4. Improve his fitness.  It can be very rewarding if you can exercise with him.  Sneak in exercise by doing fun things together, like going on a picnic and hike. Sex is also a great calorie burner – it burns about 500 calories, the equivalent of an hours worth of running!

5. Introduce healthier ways of living gradually.  This will help to make it a new sustainable lifestyle.

Herbalife products can help your family have healthier and nutritionally balanced eating patterns.  Replace breakfast and lunch with a delicious Herbalife diet shake and make it as a lunch pack for your husband with some fresh fruits.  This will help you to control his eating at work as well.  Make sure you add a healthy snack like a Herbalife Protein Bar.

A healthy eating plan supported by  (herbal life, shapeworks) involves eating a variety of foods but all in moderation.  Herbalife supports you in weight loss, weight gain, energy and fitness ,  outer nutrition with our skin care range and hair care products. Contact me today for assistance.

Regular, nutritional eating might not always be a high priority for men.  Even though getting fed is a primal and urgent need, this does not necessarily imply that the planning to have proper meals in place is done!  In the absence of planning, men tend to reach for whatever is available.  The focus is then not on choosing wisely, but the all-consuming objective of getting fed would rather lead him to food that is high in kilojoules – sugar and fat.  In layman’s terms, these foods are usually soft drinks, chips, biscuits, and fast food takeouts.

A daily eating routine is essential step towards healthy living.  Here are a few tips that can help:
1. Plan for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Planning will ensure that you have food with you and don’t need to stop at the takeout!  Use an easy and convenient nutritional system and diet like Herbalife to cater for two of these meals per day.  Preparing your two shakes for the day is quick and easy and will take less than 5 minutes and the shakes can be enjoyed on the run.
For healthy and active men, incorporate Herbalife Nutritional Shake and Herbalife Personalized Protein Powder in the shakes.

2. It is not about rules – but about staying sharp. Coffee, sugary foods and oily takeouts leaves you feeling lethargic, sleepy and possibly with indigestion!  A nutritional meal, like Herbalife, will leave you energized and in top form.  You can also add Herbalife Thermojetics to your water to keep you energized throughout the day.

3. Stock up.  When there is nothing in your cupboard and fridge, you are bound to drive to the nearest take-away!  Ensure that you have Herbalife products in your cupboard and re-order from your Independent Herbalife Distributor when you are running low.

Remember, when we are over- hungry (both female and male), your urge would be to make the hunger go away. At this stage, you cannot care about what it is that you are eating, despite your best intentions.  Therefore, be pro-active and get yourself a Herbalife Quickstart package and further supplements for your optimum nutrition.

Osteoporosis is a sickness characterized by low bone mass and loss of bone tissue that may lead to weak and fragile bones. Most people, when they hear the word “osteoporosis”, think of older women and weak bones and hip fractures. But that’s not always the case. The damage from osteoporosis begins much earlier in life. More than one third of women over the age of 50 and nearly half of those over age 70 are affected by this disease. Osteoporosis in men is on the increase, and one in five men will develop this disease.

It is always advisable to consult a physician in this case before using any products. But when you supply the body with the proper nutrition on a cellular level, the body then has the tools to do amazing things!
