BREAKING RESEARCH SHOWS Vitamin D LINKED TO HDL Cholesterol
Shaklee Corporation Research Suggests an Important Role of Vitamin D for Supporting Cardiovascular Health

PLEASANTON, Calif. – May 19, 2009 – Research supported by Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., shows that a lower blood vitamin D level is associated with metabolic syndrome and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

The study results were presented at the National Lipid Association Annual Scientific Sessions in Miami, Florida and suggest an important role of vitamin D nutrition for maintaining cardiovascular health.

“I am so proud to be associated with a company whose heritage has always been about improving people’s health and well-being. It’s very exciting that Shaklee has helped to bring this important research to the world, says Independent Shaklee Distributor, Beth Bowman RN. “The findings may have significant public health implications related to new understanding about benefits related to vitamin D supplementation,” adds Beth Bowman RN.
In this study, intake of vitamin D from dietary supplements was strongly linked with vitamin D levels in the blood. The greater the intake of vitamin D from dietary supplements, the higher the amount of vitamin D found in the blood. More importantly, as vitamin D intakes increased, HDL cholesterol (or “good cholesterol”) levels increased as well. Future research is needed to determine if vitamin D from dietary supplements can lower risk levels for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.

“Our next study, which is already underway, is intended to confirm causality by showing that vitamin D supplementation improves cardiovascular risk factors,” says Dr. Jamie McManus M.D., Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education, Shaklee Corporation.

Kevin C. Maki, PhD, the study’s Principal Investigator and the Chief Science Officer of Provident Clinical Research, Glen Ellyn, IL, says, “Results from population studies suggest that a low serum vitamin D concentration is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, but this is the first study to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D status and cardiovascular risk factors in a group that includes a large number of vitamin D supplement users.” He continues, “Additional research is warranted to assess whether increasing vitamin D intake will improve the metabolic cardiovascular risk factor profile.”

2009-05-17T22:16:00.000-07:00

Research shows that many chronic diseases and death can be prevented or controlled through lifestyle changes.
1 Eating Balanced food intake.Cutting out extra fat and soda drinks,instead taking in more fresh food will have impact on the anti-aging process.

2.Maintain Healthy Weight to reduce higher risk of diseases in aging.

3.Maintain Regular physical activity.

4.Increase intake of Vitamin D and Calcium for healthy bones, B vitamins for stress management and supporting DNA reproduction. Vitamin E and C for oxidative stress at the cellular level.

6.Consider polyphenols such as Resveratrol blend that have been proven to affect DNA protection and repair at the cellular level of aging process.

7. Stop Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Research proves most effective in minimizing diseases and death.

8. Control Stress-leads to many chronic diseases if not treated and managed.

9.Sufficient rest and sleep help body to repair itself

Knowing is not enough-we must apply. Willing is not enough either-we must do.
Goethe.
So what do we do with what we know? We can make our lives to live longer or we die
sooner. Head knowledge is easy-it is the action that gets things done?

Why do we do what we do? Why is important that we do what we do?

All questions only each person can answer.

The thing always happens that you believe in;and the belief
in a thing makes it happen. Frank Lloyd Wright

Living to 150;can we do it?
Question posed on Barabra Walters with Dr.David Sinclair on 20/20.
Amazing new discoveries are happening in this research of living longer.

What do we do with the knowledge to live longer? Where do we sign up to live longer
and healthier lives?
Would the "Bucket List" be longer and get fulfilled then?
There would be more time!

In the mean time we act on what truth we know about our health so we can begin the process of living longer and healthier lives. What a blessing to pass on to next generation!

The Mystery of Aging by Beth Bowman R.N. copyright 2009

What is aging?
Is it a complex natural process that affects every part of our being?
Can we do anything about it? Aren’t these the questions we all have?

At age twenty the aging process begins and some day we face the inevitable, that our bodies will some day look like prunes!

Blood vessels begin to accumulate fatty deposits which leads to hardening of the arteries. The digestive system begins to slow down and even our breathing begins to decrease in each stage of life.

Understanding these processes helps us to determine what we can do to slow down the aging process.

We know life style choices of diet and exercise as well as the environment affects us both externally and internally.

We have the visible signs of aging but not the invisible, we can’t see inside ourselves.

Do we have any other options really for slowing down the aging mystery?

In recent years there has been discussion about the health benefits of red wine.
Much research has been done and published on the effects of red grapes on our health.

The secret ingredient in the grape is Resveratrol that repairs, regulates as well as help to slow down aging in our bodies on the cellular level.

Muscadine grapes have been recently determined to have some effects on aging. This new super grape not only has the resveratrol but an extra chromosome that may provide some evidence to support the fight on the aging process.

After all, most of us desire to look and feel at least twenty five years younger than we really are. We then must take that next step to put this desire in motion. This begins the fight on slowing down the aging process and its mystery upon our bodies.

Cellular Aging-Does it happen?By Beth Bowman R.N copyright 2009

Do we see it happening right before our eyes?

Unless we carry around microscopes who sees what is happening at this level of our bodies. The DNA, the make up of our systems determines who we are. Keeping it healthy is the real challenge when we can’t see what is happening.

When cells are destroyed we don’t see that either

Is this the disease process we then develop of diabetes, heart problems, and neurological to name a few?

Our daily energy level is lower. The accumulation of dead cells leads to decrease blood supply that effects heart and nerve function.

It is utmost of importance to repair cell functioning.

Failure to do so leads to evidence of diseases and shorter longevity.

Are there solutions to this challenge of repairing DNA in the cells?

A Revolutionary breakthrough has occurred in the scientific community.

Years of research and billions of dollars are spent to find the answers.

Studies show that repairing the cells leads to longer longevity.

One key ingredient discovered to slowing down the aging process is resveratrol.

An amazing new resveratrol formula is now available that is more powerful than 3,000 glasses of red wine and found 10x more powerful in slowing down the again process of resveratrol found in wine alone.
