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.

GNLD - Family Brands

Golden Home Care, NeoLife nutritionals, Nutriance personal care

For decades we have proudly represented the name GNLD - a name that reflects the unification of three formerly independent companies: Golden, Neolife and Diamite. This resulted in the gathering of all the companies and their products and Distributors and brought them together under a single unified GNLD name with little to no mention of the former companies names.

However, through market research and exploration, we have identified that these brands still carry a significant amount of brand equity in the many regions in which they were first introduced. To capitalize on this untapped brand equity and build on the considerable recognition these names still have, we are in the process of bringing back the Golden and NeoLife company brands. These brands are testament to our heritage and will be at the forefront when talking about our product lines.

The re-emergence of the GNLD family of brands has already begun with the new Pro Vitality+ being the first nutritional to be released with the NeoLife branding. Other products will follow over time as will other brands such as Golden, which will soon represent the Home Care product range.


Many other successful companies have adopted strategies like PepsiCo, who has brands like Gatorade, Quaker Oats, and Simba Chips. Even other companies in the direct selling and health industries have embraced a family of brands.

Distributors all over the world have been requesting a strategic move like this one and we feel now is the perfect time to implement it. We are confident that this decision will lead to great opportunities among Distributors and the industry.

We thank you for your dedication to GNLD and look forward as we take this journey together.

Golden Home Care

Our Golden Home Care products have been "green" since the 1960's, long before it became the fashion. Our earth-friendly, low-dose, low-burden cleaning technology maximizes performance with a minimum amount of product. No toxic fumes, no harsh chemicals.

Dear GNLD Family Member

Founder's Message

Founder Jerry Brassfield

When I built my business it didn't take long to realize that it was only as strong as the relationships it was built with.
People with whom I fostered real connections with were more likely to stick with me through ups and downs and believe that I could help them to accomplish their dreams.
I'd like to share some of what I've learned through the years about building relationships.

There are many principles that work together towards building strong relationships and here are the ones that I have found to be the most important.

1. Be sincere-

This is an attribute that is absolutely necessary when trying to build a relationship with someone. It can mean the difference between success or failure when implementing some of the other principles that I have listed next.

2. Focus on being interested, not interesting-

When you show a genuine interest in others, they will naturally be interested in you. Spend more time getting to know the other person rather than trying to prove them how smart you are or how interesting you can be. In combination with sincerity, this will let the other person know you care about them.

3. Be a good listener-

Listen to the needs and interests of the other person and center your conversations around them. This will naturally lead you to find areas in which you can help that person, whether financial or physical.

4. Be understanding-

Don't get upset if someone doesn't agree with you or tries to argue about why the products aren't for them. Just remember that it's not their fault that they don't know what you know about the products and that is why you can help them. Encourage others and give them a wakeup call about their health. Also keep in mind that most sales are not made on the 1st or 2nd encounter but rather they are most often made on the 9th! So keep calm and carry on with a great attitude and optimistic outlook.

5. Be someone you would want to spend time with-

Would you want to spend time with someone who is grumpy? Or someone who is lazy? Or rude? Then you shouldn't be those things either! Remember that people buy people first, not products. This means that you should focus on being someone that enhances the lives of others, someone who is enjoyable to be around, and someone who cares about others. A great place to start with is a simple smile and a passion for what you do.

6. Remember Romans 8:28-

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." This means that both successes and failures will ultimately work towards good. We can without hesitation say 'thank you' for every circumstance that comes our way and remain positive about the future. Positivity, much like negativity, is contagious, but unlike negativity, it will benefit those around you.

People all over the world saying 'Yes' to the GNLD and NeoLife Opportunity are doing so because they want to change lives: their own life as well as the lives of others. But once someone has made the decision to be in the business, now that person must take steps in order to accomplish the life changing they set out to do in the first place. This process starts with building relationships that lead to trust and that trust translates into a strong network of Distributors and customers.

Thank you for saying 'Yes' to the Opportunity and helping change lives around the world.

God Bless,
Jerry Brassfield,
Founder.

October Month Is Care Month

Care

The month of October.

We chose to give Care the spotlight for the month of October.
Across the world people are struggling to battle illnesses due to the lack of immunity and the overwhelming pollution!
It's time we stopped wasting our lives and polluting our planet, at the end of the day we only have one life and we only have one earth!


Why Care?

Why should we care to use Care? The answer is simple, everyday we are exposed to germs, everyday we risk infection. Care kills the germs while leaving no print on the environment!

Our Mission for October.

We aren't here to tell you how to live your live but we are here to give you the option to improve your live and help minimize the negative effects we have on our planet.

Switch to Care for your disinfectant and care will cleanse your living environment and will NOT cause harm to our planet.


Your Mission for October.

It's your turn to help earth, it's your responsibility as much as everyone else's to stop the corruption of our world and to start the cleaning of it.

How Can You Help?

There are many ways to help this cause, many organisations saving animals and plants on a daily basis. All we ask is that you change to an environmentally friendly way of life and help spread the word.

Zinc Beats the Common Cold

GNLD's Zinc Beats the Common Cold:


The common cold is one of the most frequently occurring human illnesses in the world. More than 200 viruses can cause common colds in adults, including rhinoviruses (the most frequent cause), parainfluenza viruses, and others. In the United States each year, adults develop an average of two to four colds a year, and children develop an average of six to eight colds per year.



A number of controlled studies have shown that supplemental zinc had a beneficial effect in providing relief of cold symptoms. A 1996 study tested the efficacy of zinc gluconate lozenges in reducing the duration of symptoms caused by the common cold in 100 people who developed colds within 24 hours before enrolling in the study. Based on daily symptom scores for cough, headache, hoarseness, muscle ache, nasal drainage, nasal congestion, scratchy throat, sore throat, sneezing, and fever, the study showed that the time to complete resolution of symptoms was significantly shorter in patients taking zinc than in a placebo group. In fact, zinc reduced the duration of cold symptoms by an average of three days.

GNLD Chelated Zinc Golden Products

Chelated Zinc

Zinc is needed in over 100 enzymes and involved in a myriad of essential body functions. It functions as an antioxidant and is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and the activation of vitamins, especially B vitamins. GNLD provides high purity and potency zinc, plus amino acid chelation for improved absorption.


Why Zinc?

Zinc is needed in over 100 enzymes and involved in a myriad of essential body functions.
Zinc functions as an antioxidant.
Zinc is involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
Zinc is involved in the activation of vitamins, especially B vitamins.
Because the best food sources of zinc are meat and seafood, vegetarian or low-meat diets may provide less than the 12-15 mg of zinc required daily for optimal well-being.

Why GNLD Chelated Zinc?

Highest potence and purity - our pharmaceutical-grade zinc base provides both high purity and high potency.
In our unique chelation process, pharmaceutical-grade zinc is reacted with the amino acid methionine. In this process, two amino acid molecules bond with each zinc atom to form our exclusive 2-to-1 zinc amino acid chelate. Tests show that amino acid chelation improves zinc absorption.

Product Features:

Pharmaceutical-grade raw material provides high purity and high potency.
Amino acid chelation for improved absorption.

The Chelated Zinc Story

Zinc was first shown to be biologically important more than 100 years ago when it was found to be needed for the growth of certain bacteria. In the 1920s, it was demonstrated to be required for the growth of rats. In the 1960s, zinc was shown to be an essential nutrient for humans.

Zinc performs numerous functions within our bodies. Zinc is:

Involved in the absorption and activity of vitamins, especially B-complex vitamins.
A component of insulin.
A component of 25 enzymes related to digestion, including digestion of carbohydrates and alcohol.
Involved in the production of the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, which encode our genetic information.
Essential for normal growth and development of reproductive organs.
Essential for normal prostate function.
An important factor in the healing of wounds and burns.
Required for normal skin, bones, and hair.
Required in respiration for the proper transfer of carbon dioxide, a waste product, in red blood cells.
Necessary for normal appetite and the ability to taste properly.

Trace Mineral with Healing Power:

Dramatic evidence of the healing powers of zinc has been reported by medical research teams. In one study, ulcer patients who did not test deficient in zinc were given zinc supplements; a second group was given placebos. The ulcers in the zinc treatment group healed at three times the rate of the placebo group, and complete healing of ulcers occurred more often among the patients taking zinc.

Recent research has indicated that zinc supplementation may be recommended for elderly patients who have bedsores or are at risk of developing them.

Zinc has also been associated with reduced risk of damage to the retina that sometimes occurs in patients with diabetes. Diabetics tend to have low blood levels of zinc. One study has shown that diabetics with retinal damage have even lower zinc levels than diabetics with no retinal damage. Similarly, some studies indicate that zinc may help prevent macular degeneration, a major cause of blindness.

Prostate enlargement, a common condition that occurs in men as they get older, may be relieved with zinc supplementation. Studies have shown that men suffering prostate enlargement tend to have low levels of zinc in prostatic fluids, and supplementation can raise these levels and reduce the enlargement. In one study, 14 out of 19 patients treated with zinc supplements had shrinkage of the prostate after two months.

Zinc supplementation may also be important for postmenopausal women. Although most women lack sufficient calcium in their diets, when daily intake exceeds 1,000 mg, zinc absorption may be impeded. Because calcium intake is so important, researchers suggest that zinc supplementation may offset any negative effects of raising the daily intake of calcium after menopause.

Zinc Beats the Common Cold:

The common cold is one of the most frequently occurring human illnesses in the world. More than 200 viruses can cause common colds in adults, including rhinoviruses (the most frequent cause), parainfluenza viruses, and others. In the United States each year, adults develop an average of two to four colds a year, and children develop an average of six to eight colds per year.

A number of controlled studies have shown that supplemental zinc had a beneficial effect in providing relief of cold symptoms. A 1996 study tested the efficacy of zinc gluconate lozenges in reducing the duration of symptoms caused by the common cold in 100 people who developed colds within 24 hours before enrolling in the study. Based on daily symptom scores for cough, headache, hoarseness, muscle ache, nasal drainage, nasal congestion, scratchy throat, sore throat, sneezing, and fever, the study showed that the time to complete resolution of symptoms was significantly shorter in patients taking zinc than in a placebo group. In fact, zinc reduced the duration of cold symptoms by an average of three days.

Zinc Deficiency Symptoms:

The most common cause of zinc deficiency is an unbalanced diet, although other factors may be responsible. For example, the consumption of alcohol may precipitate a zinc deficiency by flushing stored zinc out of the liver and into the urine.

In addition, zinc is poorly absorbed. Although the healthy human body contains about 2.2 g of zinc - more than any other trace mineral except iron - less than 10% of dietary zinc is absorbed.

The average consumption of zinc in the U.S. is 12.7 mg daily, but vegetarian and low-protein diets may provide less, as most of the best sources of zinc are meat, including oysters, liver, beef, pork, lamb, and poultry. Other good sources include spices, wheat bran and wheat germ, nuts and peanut butter, cheddar cheese, and popcorn.

Lack of zinc in the human diet has been studied extensively in Egypt and Iran, where a major constituent of the diet is unleavened bread prepared from wheat flour high in phytates which limits absorption of zinc. Zinc deficiencies have also been observed in young children from U.S. middle class homes who consume less than an ounce of meat per day.

Zinc deficiency is characterized by loss of appetite, stunted growth in children, skin changes, loss of taste sensitivity, dull hair, white spots on fingernails, and delayed healing of wounds. In experimental animals, zinc deficiency during pregnancy has resulted in malformation and behavioural disturbances in the offspring - a finding which suggests that the same thing may happen to human foetuses.

GNLD Delivers Natural Amino Acid Chelated Zinc:

Zinc comes in a number of varieties and potencies. GNLD chose the best of both. Our pharmaceutical-grade zinc is both high purity and high potency.

In our unique chelation process, pharmaceutical-grade zinc is reacted with the amino acid methionine. In this process, two amino acid molecules bond with each zinc atom to form our exclusive 2-to-1 zinc-amino acid chelate. Tests show that amino acid chelation improves zinc absorption.

GNLD Aloe Vera Plus Golden Products

The effects of herbs and aloe have remained a mystery of nature for thousands of years.

Throughout history people have supported the use of aloe and herbs to help relieve headaches, upset stomachs and many other ailments of the body. Even though there is little laboratory evidence to support claims made through the years, there is likewise no hard evidence to the contrary.


Features:

Highest quality imported, natural Aloe Vera.
Sweetened with fructose.
Contains Chamomile and Ginseng.

Benefits:

Guaranteed fresh and potent.
Contains only natural flavours.
A nutritional drink enhanced with two of the most widely used of all herbs.

The Mystery of Aloe Vera

So-called “folk” remedies have proliferated throughout the many ages of mankind. In fact, almost the entire development of what we now refer to as “modern” medicine has taken place in the last two centuries, and most of that in the past fifty years. Two hundred years of giant strides have unquestionably lengthened life expectancies and provided many preventive solutions to age-old maladies. But, somehow the human species has survived, and often thrived, for thousands of centuries without the benefits of “modern” medicine. How could that occur? Because nature, which provides man with materials for nutrition (food), materials for shelter (wood, mud, stone, etc.)... materials, in fact, for every aspect of life (water, air, sunlight, etc.), also provides man with materials for renewal and rebuilding (penicillin, for example, may be refined and processed from simple bread moulds).

It is highly probable that the Aloe Vera plant of today differs very little from its form when dinosaurs roamed the earth. It is speculation, of course, but it is not too difficult to imagine early man gratefully rubbing the Aloe Vera juice on the badly damaged skin he must certainly have suffered in his first fumbling attempts to master the use of fire. Somehow, a belief in the properties of Aloe Vera has apparently followed mankind throughout the time of his reign on earth - all the way to the present.

Aloe Vera users today acclaim an almost unlimited variety of applications. What is the truth about Aloe Vera?

The truth is - nobody really knows. The “mystery” of Aloe Vera remains a scientific riddle after centuries of intensely concentrated research in many countries all over the world. Yet, ever-greater numbers of people swear by it for relief of a wide variety of ailments and general restoration of vitality in old, tired bodies, and the like. Does it work? For thousands of years millions have thought so... yet the mystery remains.

GNLD makes no claims for the functions of GNLD Aloe Vera-Plus beyond its exceptional purity, safety and consistency. They painstakingly processed this wholly naturally occurring product and added herbal extracts of Chamomile and Ginseng, all used and cherished throughout man’s history. They then put the GNLD name and reputation behind it - even though there is very little hard laboratory evidence to substantiate the myriad of claims made by millions of users over a period of many recorded centuries. Why? Because there is absolutely no hard evidence to refute those claims. And every once in a while - rarely - the tides of scientific acceptance are turned by the tidal wave of public acceptance.

GNLD’s Aloe Vera-Plus. It just might make you a believer!

People often try to solve their physical and mental problems created by day-to-day pressures by turning to alcohol and drugs. The medical community tries to solve this situation by recommending prescriptions for various drugs. This can often lead to the greater problem of drug dependency.

Today, people around the world are turning, as they have for centuries, to naturally occurring Aloe Vera products in an effort to deal with some of the negative elements associated with modern lifestyles.

Knowing this to be the case and knowing of Aloe Vera’s illustrious history, GNLD has applied that knowledge and developed GNLD Aloe Vera-Plus. But, as the name implies, this product goes beyond providing the benefits of naturally occurring Aloe Vera by including herbs for their folkloric benefits and fructose to offer quick energy. Aloe Vera-Plus is specially formulated and targeted to help your body overcome the impact brought on by today’s active lifestyle.
