Do you eat ocean caught fish at least 3 times a week? Hi, I’m Luigi Gratton, Vice President
of Nutrition Education at Herbalife. If you answered no to this week’s question, pay
close attention to today’s lesson. Let’s discuss a topic that is absolutely crucial
to your overall health and quality of life, heart health. It gives you energy, stamina,
mental clarity, and directly contributes to your overall vitality. Now this is serious
stuff so please pay attention. Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the world today,
killing approximately 17 million people every year. It plays an essential role in the circulatory
system but all too often people don’t do enough to keep their heart healthy so what
can we do about it? Plenty! Number 1, step up your game. Get your body moving. Studies
show that even moderate physical activity can strengthen the heart. Even if you aren’t
interested in playing sports or joining a gym, walking can make a big difference. Try
different types of exercise, find the ones you really enjoy, and make them a regular
part of your life. Number 2, eat like winner! Forget the fast food, create a heart healthy
diet and that means healthy protein, healthy fatty acids like Omega 3s, lots of water,
and plenty of fruits and vegetables. Don’t skip meals either, eat smaller portion meals
every 2 to 3 hours and don’t eat anything 3 hours before bed time and speaking of bed
time the number 3 is rest, recharge, and rejuvenate. Sleep deprivation has been linked to an increased
risk of heart problems. Resist the temptation to shave off an hour or two of sleep when
you’re busy. For 8 hours a day, sleeping is the most productive activity you can engage
in. So you have a good night and you’ll have a great life and while you’re sleeping
you can enjoy the new restorative effects of Herbalife’s Niteworks Powder Mix. It
enhances the body’s natural nitric oxide production and helps maintain blood pressure
already within normal range while you sleep so you wake refreshed and ready to face your
day. This refreshing lemon flavored drink should be taken before bed time for maximum
benefit also I heartily recommend Herbalife’s Core Complex, it targets four key indicators
of heart health cholesterol, triglycerides, homocysteine, and oxidative stress. Taking
Core Complex is a great way to give your cardiovascular system the nutrition it needs every day. For
more information about how Herbalife products can support you in heart health, you can speak
to your wellness coach. This concludes this week’s topic of discussion. I’m Luigi
Gratton reminding you that with exercise and a healthy diet you can have the heart of a
champion.
