TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO LIVE WELL

Get eight hours of sleep: sleep is so important!  They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing.  Most of the healing , repairing and rejuvenation happens during sleep.  So sleep 8 hours before you have to wake up to start your day.



Eat and drink healthy - organic fruits and veggies and water: Living well is a lifestyle.  You'll have to put good things in your body.  You already know what the good stuff is and what is the bad stuff.  So I'll leave this at your discretion.  Take Dietary Supplements as well.  This is part of eating healthy.  Much of the nutrients aren't found in the foods we eat anymore so we'll have to supplement with all natural, none-toxic, and real food dietary supplements.

Exercise - Yoga, Tai Chi, Walking: You got to exercise! If  you want more energy: exercise!  Exercising is the best way to keep you fit, feeling, great, and looking great!  Burning the fat is hard work, so to support the fat burning process, I recommend OsoLean (Oh-so-Lean).  There's a reason why they call it that.


Meditate / Breathe: Yoga teaches you to do this a lot.   It's just good for your health.  There are many forms of Meditation, but I personally like to day-dream.  Day-dreaming is my meditation, it helps me think and cleanse my mind, and I get to think about things I want to accomplish in my life.



Enjoy nature and beautiful things: Golfers does this best.  People who jogs at New Yorks Central Park do this well too.  In Chicago, the Lake-front.   Or,  you can just go to your local park and take a stroll.  Jogging or rollerblading will add exercise and nature at the same time.

Nurture your body with a spa visit - massage, facials, body wraps: nothing wrong with a little pampering.



Learn or teach someone else: it's fulfilling.  If you like cooking, teach others to cook.  One person I know became very passionate about cooking because someone else taught him how to cook which lead to delicious creations from Italy, South American Cuisine, to traditional Japanese entrés.



Volunteer - give back to your community and your Earth: I was invited to join JCI (Junior Chamber International) that focuses on developing young people to promote positive change.  Some of the JCI projects I participated in was visiting the elderly at a local  convent.  It felt really good to make a small difference in their lives as unfortunately some of them rarely get's any visits.   They truly loved our visit.  By the way, the Nones who took care of them made really delicious espresso.  They were kind enough to teach me how to make it.  Perhaps I'll blog about how to make it in the near future.



Avoid negativity - from yourself or from others: from all of the books I have read such as The Success Principles by Jack Canfield to The Secret by Rhonda Bryne, they all promote being surrounded by like-minded individuals that helps and empower you to be a better and more successful person. Negativity also promotes stress and it is known that stress is not good for your well-being.  Smiling increases your immune response ever so slightly and frowning decreases  your immune response ever so slightly.  Imaging what negative and stress will do.





Love - yourself and others around you: This is a no brainer!

That is the TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY TO LIVE WELL.  Make it Everyday!  That is LifeStyle Living!

A Story of Discovery by Dr. Bill McAnalley on Aloe, Glyconutrients and Ambrotose

The video above is titled "A Story of Discovery."  It is Dr. Bill McAnalley's story on how he found the active ingredient in Aloe  and how he later on developed Ambrotose, Mannatech's glyconutrional supplement.

If you browse this blog, you'll see posts about Ambrotose and glyconutrients and why it is important to support our wellness.  In short, Ambrotose is a dietary supplement of glyconutrients to support your immune system and overall well-being.   Ambrotose has been shown to increase immune system support, supports the digestive system, improves memory and cognitive function, enhances mood and decreases irritability.



The video is a compelling story on  how Ambrotose and Mannatech came about.  It was suggested early on since Ambrotose is so new, that networking marketing was the best vehicle to introduce this kind of product to the marketplace.  Now I know being a seasoned networker  that network marketing is sometimes not looked as a good thing.  There are good and bad companies out there and there are good and bad networkers as well.  However, Mannatech is a good company with good Associates like myself.  In all walks of life, there are good and bad people out there, all I'm saying is that I found Mannatech which I believe is a very good company and I believe what I have to offer the people I meet is good.

Mannatech is a real company with real products backed by research.  There's already a lot of people out there taking Ambrotose already.  Chances are, if you are reading this, you are probably looking for what people have to say about it.  All I've got to say is it's a very good product.  Take it!  And when you do take it, take for a long time.  The longer you take Ambrotose along side with Mannatech's other core products, the better you will look and feel.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

FAQ: Can I afford Supplementation?

Affordability is one of the biggest issues I come across in the field.  I am an active Mannatech Associate and I pretty much tell people about Mannatech and why I believe the company and their health products are really good.  It's important to take supplements nowadays due poor eating habits and definitely due our toxic environment.  That is what the experts are saying anyway.

Despite having great products that money can buy, a big objection I get is the price.  Typically it takes a little over $100 to start on a Mannatech Wellness Regiment.  But sad to say, many people do not have enough money to afford an extra $100+ a month.

But budgeting your funds is a good start! For example, your daily Starbucks could cut down.  On average, a Starbucks drink is around $3.50 or $105 for 30days.  So cut the Starbucks drink.  Besides, a milk and espresso beverage contains a lot of empty calories, so lessening your Starbucks will keep the fat away.  Or perhaps go every other day; you’ll still be saving about $52.50 a month.   If you don't drink Starbucks, budget in other areas.  Starbucks is just an easy example.  By the way, I actually used to be a Barista during college.

Mannatech has made it easy to afford the products through network marketing as well.   All you need to do is just get 6 of your friends to start on their wellness regiment with you and Mannatech will give you $100 every single month!

So you can budget and/or take a little effort to share some information to your friends and family and then you’ll be able to afford the products.

But in all honesty, Mannatech products have value.  They are made to be the best that money can buy and the prices are very fair compared to how much research and effort it takes to make them.  So in a value standpoint, Mannatech Products are quite cheap and affordable.  Just don’t compare these products to the products you get at Walgreen’s, Vitamin World or GNC because Mannatech does produce products superior to what you can get in normal stores.  They are made better and they are really natural: and All Natural is Good!

So the real question is, Can you afford Not to take Supplements?  Remember, it's cheaper to take a proactive approach to your own health rather than the other way around.  Right?

The Baby Boomers are Exploding Around the World & This is a Good Thing!

Mega Trend #2 is that there is a Baby Boomer Explosion and they are all retiring if not already retired.  They have the money and means to pay for dietary supplements, weight management products and the best skin care money can buy.  They have obvious reasons for looking for those types of products.  This puts Mannatech in the best position because Mannatech develops some of the most innovative natural products ranging from immune system support, antioxidants, vitamins, target fat loss and skin-care.

On top of that, retirement doesn’t mean no work for most baby boomers.  They get bored in retirement so they launch new businesses and new professions to simply be active.  That is what my Dad is doing. He is back at work doing what he loves to do:  architecture, construction and consultations.  Another product of what Mannatech has to offer is a home-based business for those looking for a new profession.  My Dad also promotes Mannatech's fat-loss product called OsoLean.  He now tucks in his shirt nowadays because of that product and people notice that.  He simply promotes it to his friends, and he too is a Mannatech Associate.

However, 4/10 boomers have less than $10,00 in retirement savings.  Not enough to keep them afloat so 4/5 boomers intend to keep working because they simply need to earn more to survive.  The Mannatech Business Opportunity is one option for some of these baby-boomers.  All they have to do is use the products, feel good and share it with their friends.

Regardless of their financial situation, keeping their health is #1.  So they will need and buy Dietary Supplements and Fat-loss products as a preventative measure and being proactive in keeping their good health.  A way to afford the products and earn extra income is through marketing the products they already take to their friends & family, and Mannatech pays them.  So Mannatech Associates young and old can develop a home-based business because they already have a big market looking for what Mannatech offers.  This is a good thing!

I Think Dreams Should Come True. Only The Good Ones Of Course!

I had an awesome dream last night. I was driving a brand new White R8 just like the one here... It was super dooper awesome. Another dude in my dream had a yellow one, but the one I had was of course much cooler. It was my dream! Then I woke up.

Dang, how can I get me one of those...

The Wellness Industry is here and growing. Your success can be in Wellness.

Mega Trend #1 is the Wellness Revolution.  Yes, it’s real and it’s here.  Look at some statistics about this industry.  The Global Dietary Supplement Market is $77 Billion in Revenue and growing by 5% each year.  This is fueled by the true fact of what the American Medical Association says that we are not getting enough nutrients in diet alone and it's imperative to supplement our diet with nutritional supplements to maintain our wellness.  In general more and more people are being proactive towards their health.  First start is the exercise, eating right and then taking supplements.

The Global Weight-Loss Market is getting closer to $100 Billion in revenue because the battle of the bulge is no longer stationed in the USA and growing 6% each year.  By 2012, it’s predicted to be $1.4 Trillion.  People are just getting fatter and fatter.  And for those people who are exercising and dieting who are not getting rid of the unwanted fat round the neck, thighs, chin and tummy, are really looking for that extra fat-loss boost and naturally of course!

The Global Skin-Care Market is $55 Billion in revenue and maintaining growth each year despite the global economy slowdown. I mean, vanity just sells!  Vanity is a good thing!  It's good to want to look good and feel better about ourselves.  The skin is the biggest organ in the human body and it is most important to take care of it.

So the Wellness Industry itself will be the next Trillion Dollar Industry because people are simply looking for better quality of health, safer & more effective ways to slim down and to look great by using Skin Care products.  These types of products must be effective & all-natural and many people are simply looking for it!  Mannatech delivers products that deliver what people are looking for.  The research and documentation are found online at http://www.mannatechscience.org.  But despite all the science and publication, use the products for yourself, see how you feel.  The products are free unless you love it!  (Backed by a 100% 180day Satisfaction Guarantee)  If you like the products, you'll share it with your friends! Easy!  That is the Mannatech Business Model.  Perhaps you can find the success you are looking for in the Wellness Industry with Mannatech.
