Win a 1 Month Herbalife Breakfast Plan

Of the three main meals of the day, breakfast is the meal that is most likely to be skipped

 

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, literally the meal that ‘breaks’ the overnight ‘fast’.

The body uses up the FUEL you put in during the day, to make repairs to your body while you sleep. Therefore when you waken, your body NEEDS fluids, and nutrients to keep you in full health.

BREAKFAST is the meal that the body needs to top up its glucose levels, which is the body’s main source of energy, along with vitamins and minerals. It also fuels the muscles that are necessary for physical activity.

admin

Beta Glucans and Heart Health14492466_10157496308125182_4191577911181653723_n

No doubt you’ve heard about the heart health benefits associated with a diet that includes consuming oats. That’s partly because oats are good sources of the soluble fibre beta glucan.

When it comes to naturally boosting the immune system by optimizing its response to diseases and infections, Beta Glucans are crucial weapons in the fight to stay healthy. But because the body doesn’t produce beta glucans naturally, the only way to get the compound is through outside sources

Introducing Beta heart®

Overview

High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. Beta-glucans contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.*

Beta heart® is a nutritious vanilla-flavoured powder that contains the key ingredient OatWell™ oat beta-glucan. Oat beta glucan has been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol.

*Coronary heart disease has multiple risk factors and altering one of these risk factors may or may not have a beneficial effect.

OatWell™ is a trademark of DSM.
HEART UK Charity Registration Number 1003904.

Key benefits14469724_10157496307765182_2067423722554715088_n

1 scoop of Beta heart® provides:
– 1.5g oat beta-glucans
– High in fibre (3g)
– Source of protein
– 25 kcal
– Sugar free

The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of oat beta-glucan.

Details

Whatever your age, lifestyle factors can play a big part in raising your cholesterol. Take control of your health in 3 simple steps.

 

 

Step 1: Eat well:
Reduce your intake of trans and saturated fats with simple food swaps:
-Wholegrains over white bread/pasta.
-Oily fish or lean poultry over processed or red meat.
-Nuts, seeds or soy beans over ready-to-eat snacks like crisps.

Step 2: Get active:
Being active helps to increase the ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL) in your blood. It stimulates the movement of fatty deposits to the liver, which helps to keep the heart and blood vessels in good condition.
150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week is all you need** – try 30 minutes, 5 days per week!

Step 3: Boost your diet:
High in fibre and a source of protein, one serving of Beta heart® also provides 1.5g beta-glucans; a soluble fibre found in the oat bran from oats, which helps to lower or maintain your cholesterol.*

Tips to help you stop skipping breakfast

When you get up in the morning, you’ve gone a pretty long stretch without eating. And even though you’ve been sleeping, your body has been tapping into stored fuel to keep your systems going. So if you don’t top up your tank in the morning, you’ll lack the mental and physical energy you need to get through your workout and your workday. Not only that, the breakfast habit is associated with better weight management and a better diet overall. The vast majority of those who have successfully lost weight, and kept it off, eat breakfast nearly every day.If you regularly skip breakfast, try these small steps to establish a healthy breakfast habit.

  • Start small and light
    Ease into the habit with small portions of easy-to-digest foods that are nutrient-packed. Try a protein shake with fruit, or a dab of nonfat cottage cheese or a hard-boiled egg with a piece of fruit on the side.
  • Break your meal into small snacks
    You don’t need to eat your entire meal at once. Sip on your shake throughout the morning, or have your cottage cheese or egg first, and your fruit an hour or so later.
  • Get up 15 minutes earlier
    An extra 15 minutes in the morning can make all the difference to those who are rushed to get out the door. You’ll not only have time to make something quick, you’ll also give your system a chance to wake up.
  • Eat what appeals to you
    There’s no rule that says you have to eat ‘breakfast food’ in the morning. A few bites of leftover chicken and veggie stir-fry might just do the trick.
  • Don’t rely on just ‘coffee and a muffin’
    Breakfast should include some protein!

Skipping Breakfast? Why You Shouldn’t……..

John Connelly
Did you KNOW?

 
Skipping breakfast leads to lower metabolism (Calorie Burning Ability)?

Many times people who skip breakfast , actually have lots of excess fat and that in turn leads to future complications.

Skipping breakfast leads to less energy, less power and focus throughout the day, many dips in energy which leads to over consumption of coffee and sugars which in turn can lead to future complications.

Skipping breakfast is like setting out on a road trip with a nice car and expecting it to work fine, and go far, without fuel, oil and water.

Eating a Bagel/Sandwich/Muffin and a COFFEE is not a Nutritional Breakfast.

It is so low in nutritional value that your body stores the carbs as fats ( And yes you can be SKINNY FAT) used throughout the day for the body to work, that is not a good idea.

Contact Me for more info, start a complete breakfast program that has all the recommended daily nutrients your body needs.

Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix is a Healthy Meal on the Go

admin

It’s a sad truth – and it also sounds like a paradox – but millions of people around the world are both overfed and undernourished. The fact is, malnutrition can exist even when calories are plentiful – it just requires too much food with too little nutritional value. The modern food supply is overloaded with highly processed, high calorie, appetizing foods that are lacking in vital nutrients. On top of that, most of us aren’t as physically active as we should be.

Herbalife’s #1 selling product, Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, is a great product for people who want convenient, healthy nutrition.
