Nutrition & Fitness for Moms-to-be

News You Can Use: Part 1

How Exciting!

How exciting to be getting ready for this special time of your life!

You can plan for that dream nursery, those cute little baby outfits and everything else to welcome your precious little one into this world; but the single most important thing you can do for your baby and yourself is to ensure adequate nutrition and fitness during this defining time of your lives.

A healthy diet is a woman's best friend. It helps boost energy levels, supports mental health, helps you maintain a healthy weight and look your best no matter what stage of life you're in. But,a woman's reproductive years are especially demanding when it comes to good nutrition.

In fact pregnancy and breastfeeding are two of the most nutritionally demanding times in a woman's life because it's the time when the body needs enough nutrients to support the growth and development of a baby, while maintaining the health of the mother's bod. Recent research also reveals the importance of mom's nutritional status on the future health of her child. That's why this particular issue of News You Can Use is dedicated to moms-to-be around the world, bringing you the latest research highlights in the area of proper nutrition before, during and after pregnancy.

Nutrishake

A delicious, protein rich drink mix!

which provides high quality nutrition for the entire family. Nutrishake is a milk and soya based protein food which contains all 22 amino acids, in the balanced ratios your body needs.

High protein supplements have always been a great idea, but now more than ever. Many of the traditional family favourites we’ve counted on for our daily supply of protein are high in fat and cholesterol which have been linked directly to negative threats to our well-being. So, today we’re cutting down on eggs, red meat and dairy products. These are good dietary practices, but, at the same time, we may be cutting down on our intake of valuable high quality protein which could result in a protein deficiency.

What we need is a high protein food source that’s low in fat and cholesterol. High protein drinks would seem to be the perfect answer, but they have a chalky texture and a funny aftertaste that many people find unpleasant, especially kids. No matter how good it is for our bodies, if we don’t like it, we probably won’t drink it. And, if we don’t drink it, it won’t help us.

Protein Scorecard:

Glycemic edge, fructose won’t stimulate the release of energy-robbing insulin.

Protogard Process supports improved digestion and absorption.

Protein Sparing, readily available fructose, supplies energy, so protein is spared for body building and renewal tasks.

Protein efficiency ratio, the PER for Nutrishake is 2.4.

Protein energy curve for longlasting energy.

All 22 Amino Acids involved in human nutrition are supplied in each serving.

Nutrishake is for Everyone:

Nutrishake is protein the whole family will love. Yummy and smooth in three delicious flavours - vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.

Nutrishake was developed specifically for families. GNLD wanted a protein drink that every member of the family would look forward to each day; a protein drink so quick and easy kids would stir it up for themselves; a protein drink that would supply a balanced abundance of all 22 amino acids the body needs each day, along with important amounts of essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrient factors. GNLD achieved all this and more in Nutrishake.

Great taste, super convenience and a high quality source of protein make Nutrishake perfect for every family, every day. Mixed with lowfat milk, it’s a low kilojoule way to obtain protein, plus important vitamins and minerals. Nutrishake in the mornings provides sustained energy to help avoid a midmorning slump. In the afternoon, it’s a nourishing midday lift at work or afterschool snack to replace high-kilojoule sweets and snack foods.

Nutrishake flavour variety offers some fun choices, too! Mix Strawberry or Vanilla flavours in orange juice and pour over ice for a refreshing drink!

Features:

Complete, high quality protein with all 22 amino acids involved in human nutrition.

Low fat: when mixed with 2% milk, one serving only contains 6 grams of fat.

Diet and Nutrition

The Difference Between Diet and Nutrition

When we hear the word nutrition, we often think of healthy foods. But healthy foods are really part of the diet. Our cells can only benefit from good nutrition if the foods in the diet are broken down into building blocks small enough to absorb. To sum it up, diet is what we eat, but nutrition is what our cells and tissues actually receive. In fact, there are six stages that make up good nutrition.

Our Scientific Advisory Board understands this distinction well, which is why each NeoLife Nutritional product was formulated to support one or more of these vital stages so cells may receive the balanced nutrition they need.

Stage 1: Diet

A good diet is the first step to ensuring our bodies receive the proper balance of nutrients necessary for optimal health. Diet consists of all the foods, liquids, and supplements that we consume daily. Sometimes our diets fall short of recommendations, so the goal of NeoLife Nutritionals is to improve the overall quality of the diet. Supplementation can help fill in dietary “gaps”.

Stage 2: Digestion

Digestion begins with chewing and includes the action of acids and enzymes. It’s the process by which complex foods are broken down into simple substances that the body can use for energy and support of cells and tissues.

Each NeoLife Nutritional product is formulated for easy and complete digestion, Specific ingredients, such as enzymes or nutrients that improve digestion, are included in our products. Tableting technologies that we employ assure rapid disintegration and dissolution to make tablet digestion easier.

Stage 3: Absorption

Absorption is the process by which the products of digestion—simple sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, etc.—pass through the lining of the intestinal wall and are taken directly into the body’s circulatory system.

Each product is formulated for optimal absorption, providing essential nutrients to the bloodstream where they are then carried to all cells of the body.

Stage 4: Circulation

Transporting the absorbed nutrients to each cell of the body is the role of the circulatory system. We may be eating properly, digesting properly, and absorbing nutrients properly, but if our circulation is impaired, nutrients may not reach their cellular destinations.

Our products are formulated to support optimal functioning of the body’s lifeline to health.

Stage 5: Assimilation

Assimilation is the delicate process by which nutrients are passed through the membranes which surround each living cell. Proper assimilation is essential for the body’s cells to grow, repair, and rebuild themselves. Many scientists believe that aging of organs and tissues occurs when cells deteriorate faster than the body can repair them.

Many of our products include vital lipids and sterols from whole grains to support the cells’ ability to assimilate nutrients.

Stage 6: Elimination

The final stage of nutrition is the efficient elimination of wastes from the body. This begins at the cellular level and is completed through many other metabolically-active areas such as the skin, kidneys, lungs, and colon. It is essential that wastes are completely and regularly eliminated from the body.

NeoLife Nutritionals have been formulated to help the cells and the body eliminate wastes efficiently and naturally.

Just as all the nutrients used by the body are utilized in combination; the six stages of nutrition are interrelated. Each one influences the activities of the others. Each NeoLife Nutritional product is formulated to provide essential nutrients and optimal support of one or more of these vital stages. Ask the person who introduced you to NeoLife Nutritionals about some of the products that may help you meet your nutritional needs.
