My goal is to be Fit and 50 and my role models are beautiful ladies like Christy Brinkley, Angela Bassett, Suzanne Somers and Pam Grier. They all show how you can be beautiful, active, smart women after 50!

I plan to stay active. I’ve been doing the Michael Jackson: Experience dance game for wii. I want to also get Just Dance 2 and Zumba for wii. I want to have fun while working out, so I decided dancing would be the best way. Dancing is one thing I have always enjoyed. Anyone who has had a great workout experience with these games please share your comment on this blog post! Fellow herbalist Khetnu hipped me to African and Caribbean Dance with Kukuwa. I want to learn more about this dance workout too!

My other goals are to:

•    Stick to regular workouts
•    Learn more healthy recipes
•    Be an inspiration to others and live life to the fullest!

We are welcoming a new year with spring coming in. Everyone watched the new moon last night and according to the Vernal Equinox March 20 is officially the first day of spring and in many cultures including in the bible this time of year is recognized as a new year. This is the time of year you actually see a change in the weather and the trees are starting to bud. It is a time of renewal.

This is a perfect time to try balance your system. Get on a healthy program, cleanse and detox the system and start your exercise program. Nature Sunshine products just held their national convention in Cancun, Mexico and released some exciting new products. Now you can go take the FREE HEALTH ANALYSIS then order a packet according to the body system the analysis recommends you focus on. NSP also has nutritional shakes to take as meal replacements called SmartMeal. These new products are on SPECIAL this week. Make sure to go the the PRODUCT SPECIALS to take advantage.

Many people are contacting me now because they want to order a popular system cleanse called The 90 day colon cleanse. This great program has been called “The fountain of youth” and is a total body cleanse, cleansing the blood, colon and even cleanse at the cellular level. This is the first thing I suggest to my clients if they are going through health issues or just want loose weight. It helps the body to rid the extra waste, toxins, gas and parasites many of us are walking around with. This program is a special blend of fiber, natural clay called Bentanite and other product you combine with a natural juice and pure water and drink each morning and evening along with additional supplements that work as an laxative and liver cleanse. Contact me for the list of products and instructions for this special colon cleanse.

If you would like a list of any of the Nature Sunshine products that include pork ingredients feel free to contact me. NSP does have a few programs with pork ingredients, but out of over 600 products we have something for people who don’t use products with pork.

Noni, Acai, Goji berry and Mangosteen

January is moving fast but I always stop to marvel at the wondrous works of the Lord, including the super foods he created for us, with all their healing benefits. I recently wrote an Examiner.com article about these super foods, Açai, Goji berry, Mangosteen and Noni plus Nature Sunshine is running a special this week on some more amazing herbs, Pau d’ Arco and Kelp.

First let’s talk about Pau d’ Arco, found in South America, a tree that grows as tall as 30 meters and known as “taheebo.” Fungus never grows on these trees. Pau d’Arco is known to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, arthritis, inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis), fever, dysentery, boils and ulcers, and various cancers. It is also good to fight parasitic diseases.
($1 OFF – $9.75 & Buy 4 get 1 FREE – $43.00 this week)

Now Kelp, a plant that is rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients. It grows in underwater “forests” (kelp forests) in shallow oceans.

Jillian Michaels leaving The Biggest Loser to start family

Many women have gained success using herbal supplements and lifestyle changes for endometriosis.

Read these testimonies:

Endometriosis was one of the reasons I found Nature’s Sunshine after laser surgery was futile. I originally started on Female Comfort and Colloidal Minerals with great success. I have had customers on Monthly Maintenance with great success also. I have also found by accident that All Cell Detox works as does C-X with Una de Gato. I would now (muscle) test my customers on all of these to see which would work best for them. Experience has shown that it may take as little as a few weeks or as much as a few months for complete pain relief. When pain does comes along, Feverfew and/or Una de Gato takes it away quickly. A colon cleanse would also help (would relieve pressure on the female organs.) –Theresa

“Endometriosis is a condition in which the cells from the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) also grow elsewhere in the abdominal cavity. It can produce a host of different symptoms, including incapacitating pain in the uterus, lower back, and organs in the pelvic cavity prior to and during the menses; intermittent pain throughout the menstrual cycle; painful intercourse; excessive bleeding, including the passing of large clots and shreds of tissue during the menses; nausea, vomiting, and constipation during the menses; and infertility.” In my practice, I have had excellent results with Red Raspberry. I have not tried Blessed Thistle, but this might work also. This is not a cure-all alone. Try to balance all of the hormones, but remember that endometriosis is accelerated by estrogen. Anyone with this condition should not go overboard on foods or supplements that promote estrogen in the body. Endometriosis usually declines during the peri-menopausal years and disappears at menopause. –Glenda

I have used Pro-G-Yam Cream (a natural progesterone cream) with great success. – Georgiana D

Herbalist Marguerite Wright is planning on focusing on Women’s health in 2011 because health issues such as:
-    Endometriosis
-    Fibroid Tumors & cysts
-    PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome)
-    Lupus
-    Menopause
-    And more
are some of the top reasons people contacting her. Many women are suffering from these conditions and Marguerite’s aim is to reveal all the natural ways to rid these conditions without surgeries and toxic meds.
