BACK TO SCHOOL

I have to disagree with Kermit the Frog when he said, “It’s not easy being green.” Guess what? It is totally easy (sorry, Kermit!).

Mix Greens with your kids favorite juice and they love it.

For children under 15, use the following scale:

1-3 Years — 1/2 teaspoon

4-7 years — 1 teaspoon

8-14 years — 2 teaspoons

15+ years — 3 teaspoons

I give my three daughters greens everyday! they have been taking it since August and I have already seen an improvement in their grades and conduct! Their hair is shinier also!

It Works! Greens are alkalizing, energizing, and detoxifying. Its pH-balancing blend, now supercharged with an acidity-fighting combination of magnesium and potassium for even more alkalizing properties. The addition of a cutting-edge probiotic helps you better maintain that healthy balance by keeping your digestive system regular and toxins flowing out.

With 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables and a blend of 38 herbs and nutrient-rich superfoods,Greens provides naturally occurring, bioavailable vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and enzymes to give your already well-balanced diet a nutritional boost.

Alkaline Food Benefits

Disease flourishes in an acidic environment. It is important to balance your diet and take in foods that buffer the acid.

 

Your body is either acidic or alkaline. An acidic body is a set up for just about every kind of disease. Free radical damage flourishes in an acidic body and can lead to aging and all of the diseases of aging, which are called chronic degenerative diseases. 

What causes an acidic body? The list will sound familiar I’m sure. Junk foods, excess sugar, fried foods, and even stress can cause acidification and set you up for health problems. How do we most effectively avoid acidification? Certainly avoiding the causes we just referred to is advisable. However, the best way to avoid an acidic body is to alkalize! 

Basically, animal foods, meat, and dairy are acidifying, whereas plants, such as fruits and vegetables, are alkalizing. Grains are slightly acidifying. It turns out that the super foods for alkalizing are green foods. The deeper the green, the more effective the alkalizing effect. When your body stays alkaline, it is much easier for the immune system to do its job of keeping you healthy. 

Staying properly hydrated is also essential to keeping your body alkaline. A dehydrated body is an acidic body. I recommend drinking one half your weight in ounces of purified water each day. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you need 75 ounces of water daily.

 

Today is the best day to start to become a lean, green, disease- fighting machine. Green foods are loaded with minerals, especially magnesium and potassium, which are not consumed in adequate amounts by most Americans. Choose salads every chance you can, especially ones made with darker lettuces, such as romaine.

As you begin your journey to alkalization, include Greens™ to support this nutritious diet. This alkalizing drink powder is packed with the nutritional value of 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables and 38 herbs and nutrient-rich superfoods in every scoop. Greens is powered by an acidity-fighting blend of magnesium and potassium—those two important minerals that most of us aren’t getting enough of—to support an alkaline balance within your body. In two delicious flavors—orange or berry—and three different size options, you have all kinds of ways to get your daily Greens!

 

 

It’s maximum support for your best health, all in a tangy orange flavor.

DETOXIFY with 38 herbs and nutrient rich SUPER FOODS

Did you know that on average, Americans eat green leafy vegetables only once or twice a week? And, that probably means a dried up iceberg lettuce salad topped with gobs of unhealthy salad dressing. With greens being recognized as one of the most inexpensive sources of so many vital nutrients, this is truly sad news. What exactly do greens do for you?  Well, being low in calories, leafy vegetables help you maintain ideal weight, for one. They also reduce risks of cancer, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease because they are low  in fat, high in fiber and rich in nutrients like folic acid, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, vitamin K, quercitin,  beta-carotene and more.

The magnesium in greens helps folks with type 2 diabetes.  The vitamin K helps ensure bone health.  One study found that the risk of hip fracture in middle-aged women decreased 45% when they ate one or more servings of leafy greens every day! Greens also boost immune function (a factor in allergies) and ensure eye health.

Leafy greens offer a rainbow of flavors:  sweet, bitter, peppery and earthy. Collards, Swiss chard, bok choy, and spinach have a mild taste, while arugula, mizuna and mustard greens are excitingly spicy. Whatever kinds of greens you choose, look for crisp leaves with a fresh vibrant green color–the darker the color, the richer the nutritional value.

While no substitute for greens, It Works’ Recommended Complete Health Package features all the nutrients your body needs on a daily basis for detoxification and complete balancing of your immune system. If you are not eating two to three fruit, four to six vegetable and five to 11 whole grain servings every day (grown organically and locally and not picked until ripe), your body needs supplemental nutrients.

These specific vitamins, minerals and co-factors are all supplied in the Recommended Complete Health Package. Why take a chance on being deficient? Cover all the bases! Give your body everything it needs to get and stay healthy naturally. 

It Works Greens are filled with free radical fighting nutrients that work to bring our bodies to an alkaline state. When alkalinity is restored our bodies tend to work better overall and are better equipped to fight off sickness. Acidic bodies are more prone to illness so It Works Greens is formulated to help lower the acidity level and bring our blood to its appropriate PH balance of 7.35 to 7.45. Our bodies are always trying to sustain that level and self correct intake of high acidic foods or environments. Greens helps give our bodies’ internal regulating system the boost it needs when trying to self-correct and restore alkalinity.

Why I became a distributor for It Works & how I help others! By Ryan Fouts

This is a fellow Distributors testimony and story of how he found It Works and how he incorporated it into his life and business!

As most of you know — I am very passionate about Beachbody!  With RevAbs and Shakeology I lost 55 lbs in 4 months, and I’m healthier than I’ve ever been.  This will always be my passion!   I don’t believe in “quick fixes” when it comes to nutrition and weight loss.   Exercise + Nutrition + Support = the only way to truly succeed.   I also wasn’t looking for any new business ventures — my success with Beachbody has kept me very busy!   I wouldn’t have added this to what I do if it wasn’t VERY convincing.  This also doesn’t COMPETE at all with what I offer with Beachbody — it’s totally different, but still can help a lot of people!

I’m not going to post about this too often — but I wanted to take an opportunity to share with all my friends what I found, and am quite excited about!

I have to say — when I first heard of these “body wraps” I was skeptical.  How can you “wrap” your body with something, and see results in as little as 45 minutes?   Like they say, however, SEEING is BELIEVING!   My fiancee got wrapped, and lost 3 inches.  At a business expo (the expo was pretty much a flop, as it was poorly advertised) some It Works! distributors had a table… and people were literally LINING up to get wrapped with these applicators.   They were really the only booth there, aside from our Beachbody booth, that had significant traffic.   What gives?   The people started seeing results — one woman lost 10 inches off her abdomen.   REALLY?   “Ok, I asked myself, WHAT is this and HOW does it work?”    First, I learned that the inches lost were NOT water weight — and the results can last from 2-6 months (presuming someone lives a healthy lifestyle!).   Second, I learned that everything in the applicators is totally natural.   Third, I found a doctor who advocated this — saying that the product really is the “fountain of youth” for your skin, and detoxifying the skin (the largest organ in your body) is one component to health.     Fourth, I found out that this product can actually reduce (in some cases, ELIMINATE)  LOOSE SKIN, cellulite, and STRETCH MARKS!

Again, I don’t endorse “quick fixes” or “fads.”  As I saw more, though, I discovered that this really isn’t a “quick fix” and it doesn’t pretend to replace diet, exercise, etc. — both those things are necessary!   It does, however, add to the total health of a person, and provides a solution for people who have lost weight (and I’m seeing a TON of the folks I’m coaching lose lots of weight) in terms of their loose skin, stretch marks, etc…. all WITHOUT SURGERY!

As I did research, I found out spas on the West Coast are actually using similar products — but they charge sometimes $200 or more for a single body wrap!   These wraps could go for $30 a piece (or much less for people who became loyal customers with It Works! — saving 20%-50% off the product).   So — I believe in — NATURAL remedies (CHECK!)… things that SAVE money (CHECK!)… things that promote overall health and detox (CHECK!)… and help people reach their goals (CHECK!).     With the potential I see for this to help people who are considering surgery… and other invasive options… I decided that enrolling in this business would be a great compliment to how I’m already helping people reach their goals!

I see a lot of potential here for…

… people who lost a lot of weight and need a solution to help with loose skin and stretch marks.

… body builders who are wanting to get a little leaner, and have healthier looking skin for a show.

… salon owners, beauticians, anyone in health, beauty or fitness.

… anyone who cares about their health!!! The skin is the largest organ of the body, and detox is just as important for the skin!

 Again — Exercise + Nutrition + Support… that’s the formula I REALLY believe in… and that’s why Beachbody is the solution I ultimately promote!  That said, this seems like a great tool to help a lot of people!

If you are interested in the business opportunity, or just interested in qualifying to become a “loyal customer” to save 20-50% off the products… let me know, and I’ll tell you how!    I’m very excited about how this could really help a lot of people!

You are What You Eat

We’ve all heard the old adage ‘you are what you eat’, but have you ever stopped to think exactly how true that is?

Put simply, healthy eating is the key to wellbeing. We all have up to 100 trillion cells in our bodies, each one demanding a constant supply of daily nutrients in order to function optimally. Food affects all of these cells, and by extension, every aspect of our being: mood, energy levels, food cravings, thinking capacity, sex drive, sleeping habits and general health. If you feed your body junk and convenience foods it’ll simply lay down fat, lower your energy, even your brain power.

The stomach breaks food down and passes it to the small intestine. Nutrients enter the bloodstream through fingerlike projections called villi that are along the inner wall of the small intestine. Your body absorbs most of the nutrients during the process of moving the food from the stomach to the small intestine. The colon assists in the digesting of any remaining food that reaches the large intestine.

Not eating all of the fruits and veggies that you should? Feeling sluggish and off balance? Want more energy to get through your day?

Now you can get even more of the alkalizing, energizing, and detoxifying Greens you love with the new Greens Value Size. It’s three times the amount of Greens and its pH-balancing blend, now supercharged with an acidity-fighting combination of magnesium and potassium for even more alkalizing properties. The addition of a cutting-edge probiotic helps you better maintain that healthy balance by keeping your digestive system regular and toxins flowing out.

With 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables and a blend of 38 herbs and nutrient-rich superfoods, Greens provides naturally occurring, bioavailable vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and enzymes to give your already well-balanced diet a nutritional boost.

• Detoxify, alkalize, and promote pH balance within the body
