You've heard me say it here before, resveratrol is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neuro-protective and perhaps life-prolonging. Author of Raising Baby Green, Alan Greene, MD, says resveratrol could help protect us from everything from the common cold to cancer.
You can get your resveratrol from grapes and wine, but to get the protective amounts, many believe supplementation is the way to go. You will find resveratrol in many of our products, including our S-Force multi-vitamin and Cholesterol Control and some of our other products contain grape skin extract (Amla Rush concentrate and powder).

Four nutrients that may help ward off Diabetes
I read this information in the April issue of Prevention and wanted to pass it on.
New research found that four specific nutrients work together to help fight fat, balance blood sugar and get you out of the diabetes danger zone: Omega 3's, Fiber, Calcium and Vitamin D. Of course, eating right and getting more exercise are also beneficial in improving blood sugar and reducing diabetes risk. Fiber triggers hormones that control appetite, which also helps with weight loss.
In the article they say that obese people who went on a low-calorie diet that contained three daily servings of calcium-rich dairy lost 70% more weight and 64% more body fat than those who ate just one serving of dairy a day.
By the way, your body needs Vitamin D to absorb calcium and together they help fight diabetes.
Researchers believe that vitamin D quells cellular inflammation that contributes to diabetes.
Omega 3's are healthy fats that slow the rate of digestion, which makes you feel fuller longer so you eat fewer calories throughout the day. They also reduce inflammation, a major risk factor for diabetes (and many other diseases).
I have almost completed my health coach training and will be happy to consult with you to help you with your wellness goals.
Our S-Force multivitamin contains calcium and vitamin D in optimal levels plus we offer an incredible omega product that has no fishy aftertaste.

Fat-burning hormones work through your liver
I read a great book recently that taught me some new things I'd like to share with you.
What you may not know is that there are SIX fat-burning hormones that control weight loss and work through your liver. Improve your liver function and you will shed weight according to Eric Berg, a chiropractor that specializes in nutritional research and weight loss.
In his book, The 7 Principles of Fat Burning, he also discussed stress and pain and their connection with weight gain.
If you are under stress or have pain, the adrenal hormone, cortisol, is raised and it blocks fat burning. Green tea has been shown to help adrenal function and help the liver burn fat.
I also found an article in the local paper the other day that said green tea contains a compound that suppresses inflammatory products in the connective tissue of people with rhuematoid arthritis.
In earlier posts in this blog I addressed the benefits of green tea for the brain and for weight loss. You can use the search function to find them in this blog.
I hope you will try our green tea water amplifiers. They are a concentrate and come in four different flavors. I can also recommend our vitamins. They are food-bound (containing whole food)so your body recognizes and uses them for your maximum benefit. Another thing your body needs: our Mega Omega supplement. I promise it is better than any other Essential Fatty Acid product I've tried...no fishy taste...EVER!

Thanks and have a great day!

Green tea concentrate duos on special!
How would you like to have the same energy and focus you get from coffee, but not have to suffer the ill effects? Moodiness, jitters, crash later, etc.
Our Green Tea Water Amplifier is a decaffeinated Green Tea Concentrate that improves focus by stimulating brain cells. Green Tea is a super antioxidant that also boosts metabolism which = weight loss! How you ask? Studies show Green Tea helps the liver burn fat which helps you look and feel better. I will provide additional information on the liver and weight loss in my next blog entry.
Stressed out? Green Tea has also been shown to help adrenal function! Our no-calorie concentrate comes in a variety of great flavors that you can add to hot or cold beverages. Try the Peach with your unsweetened iced tea for a great peach tea.
There are many other beneficial ingredients in the various flavors as well, including acai, which has been called the world's most nutritious fruit.
Mixed Berry contains cranberry, blueberry and raspberry. The Citrus Formula is an amazing immune booster (extra benefit of citrus with green tea).
Each bottle contains 60 servings (typically lasts a couple of months)and each serving equals 4 cups of green tea, which is what is recommended by health experts.
I use these everyday to make my water more tasty and nutritious! Why wouldn't you add this to your health regime? Shop online at www.myseriesse.com/mindy to save an additional 10% off this month!

Great weight loss results!
I started a health coaching group in January with some women who wanted to get in shape and lose weight. I'm happy to report we've had great success: Beverlee lost 10 lbs, Robin lost 11, Beth lost 12 and Tammy lost 18 lbs, all in less than 2 months. The participants range in age from 37 to 67.
How did they do it? They purchased our weight loss kit and substituted one meal a day with our SPro whey protein powder and took the Green Tea Plus appetite suppressant.
They received daily motivational and inspirational emails and a weekly call to keep them on track and many used an accountability partner to hold themselves to their goals.

Netflix for Jillian Michaels DVD
In my attempts to save money and keep my workouts fresh, I joined Netflix and found they have over 500 fitness DVDs to choose from, plus a variety for you, whether it's dance or yoga or resistance training or tai chi!
I opted for the plan that gives you one DVD at a time for less than $9 a month. With that, I can download an unlimited amount of movies at no extra cost. There is a free offer so you can check it out!
The selection is great. I took about 30 minutes to put ones that interest me into a list. When I send one back, I get the next on the list within two days. It's really fast.
They also suggest DVDs for you based on your interests. I love the service and I found a fitness DVD that I got a lot out of. It's Jillian Michaels for Beginners: Backside. I learned things I'd never heard before and it was a great workout.
Check out www.netflix.com.
Have a great day!

Staying compliant with your health goals
We have started another Health Coaching Group for the month of February!
To qualify, purchase our weight loss kit or $100 retail in S-Force products from my website at www.myseriesse.com/mindy. My contact info is at the site or below if you would like help ordering.
I would like to ask each of you to start thinking about what you want and what you will do differently this month. It has been my experience that baby steps in the right direction are what work. Set your goal and then decide what changes need to be made to get there, one step at a time. Add one step per week.
You have to be ready to make a change. Your reasons for changing will help you stay compliant. What are your reasons? Write them down and revisit them often.
I have a picture of how I would like to look on my fridge. We have to visualize what we want and believe that we can do it. I know, the believing part is the hard part! It will come, I promise. What you need are some small successes that allow you to get to the point where you trust yourself!
Our program officially begins February 2nd. I will be sending daily motivational or informational emails. Our first group call will be on Saturday February 7th at 11 am Eastern. This was the most popular time. It will be recorded in case you can’t make it. This is a 4 week program, with our calls taking place on the 7, 14, 21, and 28. Each call will be a 20 minute lesson with time after (for as long as you want) for interaction between the members and Q and A.
I am hoping to pair everyone up with a buddy to help keep you accountable, even if it is just via email. Let me know if you DO NOT want to participate in this.
With your S-Force Protein Powder replacing a meal one time per day and by taking your Green Tea Plus right after breakfast and lunch, you will be on your way to increasing your metabolism and focus, improving your mood, increasing muscle and losing fat.
I recommend 6 days on and then one cheat day! We’ll talk more about this in one of our calls.
I take the S-Pro protein powder and the Green Tea Plus daily, along with the vitamins, the Mega Omega supplement, the Green Tea Water Amplifiers and the two Amla products. I use these for optimal health. If you have questions about the benefits of any of these, please ask. If you have joint or cholesterol issues, I can promise you my mother and brother have gotten great results with our products that address these conditions.
One of our team members has lost 15 pounds since November!
After you order, send me your first name and email so I can put you on my email list.
