Ideal Bite | If Nothing Else, Try This...

Check out the lIDEAL BITE ink below but be sure to then come back to http://andiralph.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare and explore the Get Clean products. When you buy the Get Clean Starter Kit versus conventional, ready-to-use cleaners, 108 pounds of packaging waste stays out of landfills and 248 pounds of greenhouse gas is eliminated. And if that’s not enough, through the sale of Shaklee Get Clean Basic H2 in the past year alone, Shaklee has eliminated the need for 2.7 billion 26-ounce bottles of ready-to-use window cleaner—if placed end to end, these bottles would wrap around the earth more than 18 times!

How We Age


There are 4 key mechanisms of aging: DNA damage, genetic regulators, declining cellular energy production and Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGE). In collaboration with scientists from the University of Georgia, Shaklee scientists employed a bioassay-guided process, which resulted in a patent-pending super grape extract with ellagic acid, a polyphenol not found in ordinary grapes. Ellagic acid is thought to be responsible for many of the unique cellular anti-aging actions of the super grape in the Vivix formulation.* Shaklee had to create a new extraction machine for this product. Vivix is all natural, in liquid form and 1 teaspoon per day is to be taken with a meal. I have experienced an increase in energy since taking it, because it fires up the mitochrondria in the cells. There are no artificial colors, sweeteners, flavors or preservatives - it has a shelf life of 9 months but it is recommended that the product be refrigerated. The Rejuvetrol™ Patent Pending Blend in VIVIX is based on the latest scientific studies and emerging research from such places as Harvard and National Institutes of Health (NIH).
I don't know about anyone else but I find it well worth it to invest in such a product and the testimonials from users keep pouring in. I want to feel 25 years younger and live 25 years longer! In addition to this product, everyone should get daily exercise, eat nutritiously, intake natural food supplements to maintain healthy levels of nutrients in the body and get enough sleep...........and if you smoke, well, it will age you. It will age your skin too.

Perseid Meteor Shower

The Perseid Meteor Shower is this time of year, well, to brag, it actually falls right on my birthday give or take a few hours between 2 days. When I was small we could see so many stars and one satellite (Sputnik), but now with all the lights that the cities have and in neighborhoods, one has to go a long way out to find a dark enough place to view the sky. We used to go to Sunrise at Mt Rainier, about 6100 foot elevation - the meteors shoot through the parking lot. There are some towns in the U.S. that ban light pollution, as it is called, and keep the towns dark at night. It's a good idea to save energy also; maybe just have motion detector lights instead of ones that stay on all night. I've read that light pollution has health consequences such as the thought that excess light may induce loss in visual acuity. Over-illumination of buildings is a waste of energy sources.
OK, back to the meteor shower - I found this on You Tube and it's very good, about 5 minutes long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ_B0d1pr6I&NR=1
Take a nap and set your alarm clock to watch the Perseids. If you need energy the next day try Shaklee CorEnergy and the Cinch Tea!

August 11


Will it be sunny for my birthday today? Hmmmm, it is the Pacific Northwest after all, but we are in the sign of Leo, ruled by the sun! C'mon, sun! Still catching up on mail, email, news, etc. Have to go back to my corporate job tomorrow but had fun while I was off this past week, mingling with my Green friends, seeing my daughter.
Even though everyone thinks it rains here all the time, I get tan, even through sunscreen. I do try to keep SPF on my face but absorb some rays and Vitamin D from sun on arms, legs, hands for 10-15 minutes and then put sunscreen on them. I have a slight tan, good for living so far north, just from hanging out in yard and garden. Speaking of SPF, I use the Enfuselle SPF 30 because: 1) it is proven to not break down in sun, 2) it protects against UVA and UVB, and 3) it has triple-patented Vital Repair+ complex which makes your skin feel great. Under my makeup I use the AM Repair which is SPF15. And....speaking of Vitamin D, apparently all people in North America who live north of Atlanta do not get enough from the sun, wow, that's a lot of people.

Raining


After about 2 wks of very hot dry weather in Seattle it is now raining. Left hot weather a wk ago to go to St Louis for the Shaklee conference - it is very hot and very very humid there -sunny skies but heavy air. I'm glad to be back in the cooler less humid part of the country. The rain might green up our grass because it looks like straw right now. In our flower garden pictured here, we use organic fertilizers, including Shaklee Basic H. This year it looks a bit different as we have tomatos and squash planted near the building. We water with the hose so we can target areas that need it.
