Weakness, lack of energy, tiredness, exhaustion
	Feeling faint or passing out
	Palpitations (feeling your heart beating)
	Dizziness
	Vertigo
	Shortness of breath

If you have any of these symptoms, it is definitely time to do something before simple fatigue with a simple solution becomes a true disease condition.

	1. I’m full of energy from morning to night with stamina to do anything I wish.
	2. My energy level is usually high, but decreases as the day wears on.
	3. I’m slow to get going in the morning but have moderately high energy during the day. My energy starts decreasing in the afternoon and I find I’m very ready for bed by 10:00 pm.
	4. I have trouble starting my day. My energy level is low to okay most of the time but I’m exhausted by the end of work and until bedtime.
	5. I have no energy. I’m tired when I wake up, groggy with fatigue during the day, and so worn out that I struggle to make it until lights out.

So... where are YOU on the energy scale?

Most people rate their level at a 3 or 4, but more people than you’d expect push through life at a 5. While younger people generally rate themselves at a 1 or 2, the older we get, the more our energy seems to dissipate.

Wow! Amazing new resveratrol study results...

From Dr. Jamie McManus MD, Chair, Medical Affairs, Health Sciences & Education, Shaklee Corporation:

“The most significant human study to date, which supports the health-enhancing benefits of resveratrol... has just been published!

In a study published this month in Cell Metabolism, Dutch researchers showed that taking a resveratrol supplement for 30 days significantly lowered multiple markers associated with heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other chronic diseases.

These include markers of inflammation, improved mitochondrial capacity, lowered blood pressure, and blood glucose. Since inflammation [which leads not only to age-related diseases but to accelerated aging, as well] is at the root of literally hundreds of diseases, this has immense potential health implications. This study also showed reductions in both blood pressure and triglyceride levels, both of which are associated with heart disease risk.

Diabetes has increased a whopping 35% in just the past decade. Until now, the only nonpharmacologic way to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce your risk of developing diabetes has been calorie restriction and weight loss... which is so very hard for people. This study would suggest that adding a high potency resveratrol supplement may help improve your insulin sensitivity and lower blood-sugar levels.”

Yet more good reasons to take Vivix every day!

“I used to have it! Where did it go?”

Stress is the number one cause of fatigue in most adults. While life always has its challenges, do as much as you can to minimize the negative impact stress can have on your health.

Lack of sleep:

Recent studies show that most adults are actually sleep-deprived. For maximum energy, the body generally requires eight hours of truly restful sleep per night. It is particularly important to retire by 10 pm as critical healing hormones are released in the body between 11 pm and 2 am every night. Being a night owl can cause fatigue, even if you get eight hours of sleep.

Refined sugar and carbohydrates:

Some people think that since sugar is required for energy, that it’s desirable to eat a lot of it. Yet most nutritional scientists believe that excess refined sugar may be the largest contributing factor, if not the direct cause, of many degenerative disease conditions, including fatigue. In spite of the popularity of “diet” foods containing artificial sugar (suspected of causing neurological problems in many people), most Americans still consume over 100 pounds of sugar per year in the form of candy, sweets, pastries and processed foods. Evidence suggests that fully 65% to 75% of people who complain of fatigue will experience a marked improvement in their energy level within one to two weeks of abstaining from eating refined sugar and flour products.

Too much red meat:

While controversy still rages over whether man is meant to eat meat, we do know that consuming too much beef and pork can contribute to higher cholesterol levels. Eating a diet rich in fatty meat products not only clogs our arteries, but slows down our digestion as well, contributing to a sluggish metabolism. Many people find that cutting down on red meat in favor of fish, poultry, grains, and biologically complete protein products such as Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein, gives them a discernible energy boost... and helps their heart as well.

Nicotine, alcohol and drugs:

Many people do not realize the amount of nutrients needed by the body just to counteract the damage done by cigarettes, alcohol and drugs (including over-the-counter and prescription medications). For example, just one cigarette can deplete up to 100 mg of vitamin C!

Constipation:

A backed up, clogged colon is caused by eating too much meat and refined, processed foods, a lack of exercise, and not drinking enough water. Constipation is not only uncomfortable, but it contributes to fatigue by causing bloating, gas and a buildup of toxins in the gut. Fortunately, Shaklee offers products like Herb-Lax, EZ-Gest, Optiflora, Stomach Soothing Complex and Fiber Plan products to help you naturally combat constipation.


Obesity:

It’s a fact... more than 60% of Americans are overweight or clinically obese. Obesity contributes to fatigue, heart disease, back problems, varicose veins, shortness of breath, infertility and even some forms of cancer. Of course, losing weight is one of the best things you can do to increase your energy level. To help you safely drop those extra pounds, Shaklee offers the miraculous Cinch Plan line of products.

Nutritional deficiencies, especially B complex vitamins and protein:

With Shaklee food supplements, this energy-depleter is one of the easiest to correct. Start with the Vitalizer best for you and Energizing Soy Protein daily for one month and watch your energy level soar!

Negative thinking:

Fatigue and negative thinking go hand in hand and it’s sometimes difficult to decide which started first. It always helps any situation to improve our attitude... but sometimes we have to increase our energy level in order to even think about it.

Lack of exercise:

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to immediately increase your energy level. The problem is... fatigue gets in the way. So we’ve left exercise until last, though it should probably be the first thing you do. However, once you’ve made all of the previously suggested changes, you should now have enough energy to finally start that exercise program you’ve been too tired to think about. And of course, Shaklee has wonderful products to help you reach your maximum physical potential: Performance, Physique, B-Complex, Meal Shakes, Energizing Soy Protein, CorEnergy, and of course, Vitalizer!

A new study on resveratrol, just published in Cell Metabolism, demonstrates that Vivix can have a major impact on your energy level. Dr. Jamie McManus asks:

“Anyone out there too tired to exercise? Well, this study may provide an answer. The study participants showed significant increases in markers of mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are your body’s energy producers that tend to decrease in number and output as we age. The increases seen in this study were similar to those seen with endurance training. So get some of the energy benefits associated with exercise and ramp up your mitochondria just by taking [Vivix]! Sounds too good to be true, but I must say the results here are compelling and exciting!

My advice is that, along with trying to eat better and exercise regularly, it makes better sense than ever to add in a high potency resveratrol supplement to your daily routine.”
