REAL SUPPLEMENTS

I am asked all the time by my clients and friends whether they should be taking supplements, and if so, which ones.  A few years ago my answer would have absolutely been, NO.  I used to think everyone should get all their vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from their food and other natural sources.  But, unfortunately, the more I learned, the more I realized just how depleted our food supply actually is in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.  When I think about it, this makes sense.  How can food that is shipped 1/2 way around the world, kept in storage facilities for days on end, and then sits on the supermarket shelf for another few days have the optimum amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that my body needs?  How can the soil that we have abused for so many years with herbicides and pesticides still grow vegetables with the same minerals that used to be in our soil?  The answer is, it can not.

Now, I want to make it very clear that the first source to give your body what it needs SHOULD be the food you eat, however, to supplement what your food is lacking, I now recommend turning to carefully selected supplementation.  Knowing which supplements to take can be an overwhelming task.  The best advice I can give you is to find a company that makes supplements you can trust.  There are some great companies out there.  In this blog, I want to highlight one such company that a good friend of mine, Jennifer Kall DelAngelo, works with.   It is called AGELOC by Nu skin.  I will admit, I am one of the most skeptical people when it comes to supplements.  But, what I love about this company is that it actually has a scientific way to prove that your supplements are working.  They use a Biophotonic scanner that tells you if your antioxidant levels are high or low.  For more information on this scanner you can see a clip from the Dr. Oz show by clicking this link.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWCtNz_hEc0

The cost to be scanned is $10 and all the money raised from these scans is donated by Jenn, to an organization called Nourish The Children www.jkhd.millionsofmeals.com.  I did an event a couple of months ago on the importance of juicing and how juicing boosts your antioxidant levels.  I had the scanner at this event and in a room of 25 people, I had the highest antioxidant level, a fact I am quite proud of, but I share this not to brag, but rather to illustrate that the scanner works!  All my friends who live a healthy lifestyle also score high.  In addition, everyone I know who uses the supplements from Nu Skin have high antioxidant levels and I must say, they all look healthy, vibrant, and young!  One such person is Ian Ziering from 90210.  To my excitement, I met him in person about a month ago, and he was looking good!  I had no idea he is almost 50, in all honesty, he looks like he is in his early 30s.  If you are like me and you grew up with 90210, you understand why it was so exciting to meet Ian in person.  There are a few opportunities for you to meet him this week in Fairfield and at the same time have your antioxidant level tested.  See below for all the information.  I strongly encourage everyone to know what their antioxidant level is.  Knowledge is power, and to know your antioxidant level will allow you to adjust your diet accordingly, and also figure out which supplements are best for you.  Nu Skin has a few supplements that they guarantee will raise your antioxidant level in 60 days or they will refund 100% of your money.  Ask my friend Jenn about lifepak, g3 juice and others.  If you mention my blog she will give you a 35% discount on everything you order.
