What you need in a good multi-vitamin

HERE ARE THE VITAMINS YOU NEED EVERY DAY...


I must say, we offer the basics and SO MUCH MORE! We have key adaptogens, ginseng and cordyceps. The asian mushroom blend plus astragalus. N-acetyl cysteine, Alpha lipoic-acid, all the phytonutrient compounds from foods we need to eat but never get enough of. We've added enzymes and more. For those of us who study nutrition...THIS IS VERY EXCITING!

Vitamins B6 and B12-they keep the blood, nerves and immune system functioning properly

Those aged 55 and older lose the ability to absorb B12, need a multi, severe deficiency can cause irreversible neurological damage that looks like Alzheimer’s

Vitamin C-antioxidant that fights DNA-damaging free radicals

Calcium-essential for bone health

Vitamin D-enhances calcium absorption-and so much more, see previous entry

Vitamin E-antioxidant

Folic acid-prevents neural-tube birth defects

Iron-prevents anemia

Vitamin K-it helps maintain healthy blood clotting and promotes bone density and strength

Magnesium-it helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, regulates blood sugar levels and keeps bones strong

Zinc-plays an important role in supporting a healthy immune system

SERIESSE IS ON TARGET WITH NUTRITION

Dr. Oz recommends:

Calcium and Magnesium together

Omega 3 DHA

A good multi (because 99% of us don't eat the way we're advised)

What can I say about the green tea? GREEN TEA HAS MORE ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND IMMUNE-BOOSTING ACTIVITY THAN ANY OTHER TEA

Tea is the second most popular beverage in the world, after water. It comes in many colors (black, green, oolong and white) based on how the raw leaves are processed. Studies show all types offer superb health benefits. Green tea in particular offers copious amounts of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an antioxidant considered the key to green tea’s healthy qualities. It may contribute to a reduction in risk for human cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. It may even keep teeth plaque-free. Drinking tea may also help speed fat metabolism. If nothing else, opting for tea means filling up with a nearly calorie-free liquid that helps stave off hunger pangs. Herbal teas do not derive from the camellia sinensis plant, so they don’t offer the same benefits as traditional tea

Dr. Oz also touched on the acai (ah sigh ee) berry. Look at previous entry re: that. He also said:

The catechins in green tea stimulate the brain!!

What's so great about resveratrol? It turns on a system in your body that prevents your cells from aging! He says in his book, YOU Staying Young, that it changes the chemistry in your body. The book is FANTASTIC!

What is all the buzz about Vit D?

This is the largest deficiency in our country right now. Sixty percent are deficient. It could help prevent cancer, heart disease, MS, JD and infection rates. Helps your immune system to function properly.

NEWS ON GREEN TEA BENEFITS

This is from USA Weekend in the Sunday paper.
Green tea for the brain (from EatSmart, by Jean Carper, in USA Weekend on 2/3/08)
"A chemical in green tea may bring dying brain cells back to life, say Israeli investigators. They showed that EGCG, green tea's main antioxidant, revived animal neurons resembling those killed by Parkinson's disease. Adding small amounts of EGCG to dying brain cells made them bounce back; they became healthier and grew new dendrites (nerve appendages that carry messages from cell to cell.) Some studies show EGCG to be safe in high doses, but the Israeli researchers advise drinking no more than five or six cups of gren tea daily. More may not be better, they say."

PERSISTANCE PAYS OFF!

WARM UP TO COLD CALLING
(from an Investor's Business Daily article)

No one meets more resistance than people who sell for a living. 80% of sales occur between the fifth and 12th contact, the other 20% happen on the first four contacts.

Check out www.mrcoldcall.com where DM Arenzon compiles his secrets. He says cold-calling is very mentally draining. Present yourself as an energetic expert more interested in a consultative relationship than a sales pitch. Then you won’t appear desperate.

People are less likely to immediately reject you in person than over the phone. Bring candy when you visit prospects. If someone asks you to leave, always smile and say, “Please excuse my persistence.”

SERIESSE S-FORCE MULTI IS A MUST!

So many of you have been exposed to Dr. Oz through Oprah. That’s how I came to know and respect him as well. Now that we are in the vitamin business, I picked up his book and found that he is talking about ingredients we offer in our tremendous multi that is offered at an incredibly low price.

https://www.myseriesse.com/ProductPage.aspx?ItemID=169&ID=mindy

FROM: YOU STAYING YOUNG (Dr. Oz book)

Pg 23 he states Resveratrol turns on a gene that slows or stops a dangerous inflammatory process that happens inside your body, and

Pg 37 for Brain Health: Vitamin E, B Vitamins, Alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10, Ginko Biloba, Lycopene, Carotenoids and Flavanoids (you get all of these in the multi-vitamin and Quercitin (in the Amla) and Omega 3 Fatty Acids (in our Mega Omega complex)

FEEL BETTER DURING COLD AND FLU SEASON

Well, it's cold and flu season, so here are some things you can use to help prevent them. Take at the first sign of sickness.

Astragalus-research suggests it stimulates the bone marrow to produce more disease-fighting white blood cells, which in turn produce antibodies and interferon, an antiviral protein.

Zinc-take it at the first sign of symptoms (gluconate form without flavoring agents)

Oats and barley-contain beta-glucan, a type of fiber with antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities more potent than echinacea.

Garlic-contains allicin which fights infection and bacteria.

Yogurt-contains probiotics (live active cultures) that stimulates white blood cells (Stonyfield Farms contains the specific strain that does this).

Chicken soup-blocks the migration of inflammatory white cells.

Tea-a study showed those who had 5 cups a day of black tea for two weeks had 10 times more virus-fighting interferon in their blood than others. The amino acid responsible is abundant in both black and green tea (L-theanine). I believe the fact that I drink the green tea

daily helps me to stay healthy, even when my kids are sick. It increases my water intake too, which we know is good for us! I also take our multi-vitamins daily (which contain the zinc, astragalus and green tea along with so many other beneficial ingredients), along with a shot of the liquid Amla Rush. To order go to www.mindymccortney.com and click products to read more. My dad swears by the vitamins and the Amla now because his energy has increased so much (and it is hard to get him to consistently take anything!).
