The Trick After The Treat

Now, right after Halloween is when we see a surge in ear infections, colds, flu and other respiratory infections in children.

The link is the increase intake of sugar.

Sugar lowers the immune system making us more susceptible to illness and infection because there just aren't enough "good guys" to fight off the bad guys.

Plus, the ammo they use - the good nutrients from good nutrition, is missing.

The best way to keep your children and yourself healthy in addition to good handwashing is to eat healthy and exercise.

Candy may be overflowing in our houses right now, but counter it with healthy choices.

Teach kids it's OK to have a sweet treat now and then as long as they counter it with some of Nature's candy like fruits and fun veggies.

Teach them that the good food strengthens the good guys so they can fight the bad guys and the good food helps the body to be strong enough to handle the bad guys candy onslaught that makes the good guys weak.

In addition to eating more fruits and vegetables, Probiotics, Fiber, B Vitamins and drinking lots of filtered water helps to counteract the damaging effects of too much sugar.

You can also stash some of the candy loot to occasionally indulge at different times later. This way your kid won't overdose on the sugar.

Help your kids stay healthy for life by teaching them the skills they need to make healthy choices on their own.

It's not always easy, but it is always worth it.

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Where Are Your Vitamins Sourced From & Why Is It Important?

Do you know where your vitamins are manufactured? Do they do this kind of extensive testing? Is it safe? How do you know? I know, and this is why I only trust Shaklee. WHERE ARE SHAKLEE U.S. SUPPLEMENTS MANUFACTURED/INGREDIENTS SOURCED? Is another question I've received a few times lately. Here's the official reply: With the exception of NutriFeron (Japan) and our Shaklee 180 Meal Bars and Shaklee 180 Snack Bars (Canada), all Shaklee food and nutritional products are manufactured in the United States. We source ingredients worldwide, and whether some come from China, South America, the U.S., Japan, or New Zealand is not necessarily a measure of quality. The Shaklee approach to raw material sourcing for all nutritional ingredients has actually maximized product safety over our 60+ year history. In today’s global marketplace, where ingredients are sourced from worldwide raw material suppliers, we are keenly aware of the need for close oversight. Shaklee R...
