Something to Help Your New Year's Resolutions!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!

It’s the New Year and most every one makes resolutions of some sort. Most of those resolutions made (and broken) tend to fall around the health category. You know, the “I’m going to lose weight,” “I’m going to eat more healthy,” or “I’m going to exercise regularly,” type of resolution.

Well, I am willing to offer some help for you to get healthy and feel better to be able to maybe do something about improving your health and well-being.

And this New Year week is the one and only time (in a few different forms for better coverage) that I am going to put this info out here for you. The reason for the one time – I don’t want anyone to “avoid” me because they might think I am “selling” something and after them to “sign up”.

NOPE. NADA. NYET. NO.

Did you understand that? I am not out to SELL you something. This is NOT my "business".

I am, however, putting this out here in the wide open because for 9 months, at the recommendation of my most trusted, non-pill pushing doctor, Scott and I have been using renewal products from Univera. (www.univera.com)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, you’ve just tuned out. Well, tune back in and pay attention for just a sec. Contrary to what you might think, I am not the "jump on every-passing-band wagon" type of gal. No sir, I like to do a little research on things first before I go hawking them to anyone else. I’ve tried some of the other “use this and have energy” type of things and maybe they work for a short (very short) period of time and maybe they don’t do anything for me at all. But this stuff not only caught my attention, but Scott started using it and he is now a believer. And this is a very skeptical man about any “products”.

As well as researching the products, I also experimented from time to time by stopping them and experiencing the difference in how I was feeling. What I noticed is that when I take the Ageless Xtra and the Prime product, I certainly don’t bounce off the walls, but I feel more motivated to get things done. I have clarity of thought to actually plan and think. I am not nearly as stressed out as usual and with the motivation (energy) I have to actually work out, my muscles and joints don’t ache like they had before. All of this while having previously been diagnosed as anemic. BUT when I stopped taking the products, I could most certainly tell the difference. Everything went back to “normal”. Stress, swirling thoughts, aches and pains, and no energy to do anything came back. My mother takes the products and when she is regular with them, she has the same experiences. But taking them regularly is the key.

Since we are in our 40’s and aren’t dragging around like “old people”, there must be something working in the Univera products. Also, we are not rich, weathly, well-off, or anything on that level and most of you know that. But since we are convinced of the usefulness of these products, we make it work. I signed up as an Associate to get the products at a wholesale price (I think it was like $40 to sign up or something). With my mom, sister, and mother-in-law also getting some products every month, the residual makes the products very affordable for us.

Lastly, In reading different books and articles, it seems that we have been trained to believe that all the things that go wrong in our bodies are a natural result of getting older. But that doesn’t necessarily have to be the way it is. I have copied some information about the company and the Ageless Xtra product below. If after reading this, you are interested in getting some product for yourself, either contact me for more info or go to the website (http://www.univera.com) and read more. If you’d like to order some of the product to try, from the SHOP screen you can view and select products then register as a customer. You’ll need my associate number to order, so leave a comment or email me and I'll get that number to you.

If you’re not interested, not a prob, but I chose not to keep this to myself and my family. I hope that for your health and well-being you are willing to give it a try. It’s not for me, it’s for you. And again, please don't assume that I'm trying to build a business and using you as my sales quota. I'm just trying to share some good stuff with you.
Take care!!


MORE INFO FROM THE UNIVERA WEBSITE:

Genomics (the ability to read information encoded in DNA) has been hailed as the most important scientific advancement since the microscope. With full-scale genomics research capability, Univera is a world leader in this important technology, enabling us to develop AgelessXtra®.

Sixty-five percent of how your body performs and ages is up to you. Only 35 percent of performance and aging is genetically predetermined. You have the power every day to help build a healthy body and to feel, look, and perform better than you ever imagined.

AgelessXtra® is a scientifically-formulated nutritional and active-botanical supplement that promotes vital energy, supports mental clarity and focus, helps manage stress, and promotes joint comfort and flexibility. While taking Xtra™, you will feel an increased sense of energy and vitality.*

Xtra was formulated through extensive DNA genomics-level research and tested using a double-blind, placebo-controlled study on active ingredients. These combined effects harnessed the unparalleled scientific firepower of the ECONET. Univera created a true cell renewal formula – a powerful blend of ingredients to help you look and feel better every day.

Xtra is a proprietary formulation of powerful ingredients that dramatically improves repair and reduces damage on your personal seesaw: on one side is repair; on the other, damage. With the stresses of everyday life compounded by aging, your body's ability to repair itself declines. When damage accelerates, it pushes up on the damage side of the seesaw. The opportunity you have with Univera products is to conversely push down on the damage side and push up on the repair side, which increases energy and tips the seesaw in your favor.

Ageless Xtra Promotes Vital Energy*
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Within every cell of your body is an energy "assembly line," and when you don't provide your cells with the essential building blocks to produce energy, you become fatigued. AgelessXtra® includes a proprietary all-natural formulation of vitamin B3, Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P or the active form of vitamin B6), Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate, green tea extract, and Cordyceps sinensis — all critical energy cofactors to optimize cellular energy production.

Ageless Xtra Supports Mental Clarity and Focus*
Life is short — be in the moment. Every second of every day, your cells are under attack by oxidizing agents called free radicals. Antioxidants stop free radicals from damaging and destroying cells. With the antioxidant protection of up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables in every ounce, Xtra™ contains a highly potent, concentrated blend of blueberries, cranberries, grapes, and dark cherries for maximum protection to positively impact your overall brain function and sharpness.

Ageless Xtra Helps Manage Stress*
Relief for everyday life. Struggling with work deadlines, family needs, traffic jams, or just too much coming at you all once? Xtra includes world renowned herbs – Rhodiola crenulata and Ginkgo biloba – that synergistically work to relax and empower the body and brain to face the constant demands of everyday life.

Ageless Xtra Promotes Joint Comfort and Flexibility*
Freedom to move. Stiff muscles and joints cause discomfort, which ultimately compromises your active lifestyle. Xtra contains the award winning ingredient Protectin™, which has been shown in double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials to dramatically improve joint comfort and mobility to unleash your body’s potential.


The Damage Reducing Power of Antioxidants

Antioxidants have been in the news a lot in the last few years, and for good reason. Antioxidants help stop free radicals from damaging and destroying cells.

Industry Leading Results

AgelessXtra® provides a nutritious fruit blend containing grape, cranberry, cherry, and blueberry juices known for their rich colors, high ORAC potential, and flavonoid content. Xtra™ delivers antioxidants to your body at far greater levels than a typical diet can provide. In fact, independent scientific studies have shown that one serving of Xtra provides the antioxidant protection of up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables!






Univera and our global support structure, ECONET, work on a very simple, but carefully integrated model of discover, develop, and deliver:
• We discover the secrets of nature and study natural compounds and their effect on the human body.
• We develop unique nutritional formulations based on scientific research.
• We deliver these products and their renewing power directly to you.
In simple terms, renewal is the body’s ability to regenerate and replenish cells giving you the opportunity for daily improvement in how you look, feel, and perform. Univera, in conjunction with ECONET® resources, has spent decades exploring the secrets of natural products to support this process. That work has led to more than 160 patents and patents pending that have been developed in our state-of-the-art research facilities, the only such labs in the world dedicated to this specific research.

Still Feeling Good!

Well, it's been four weeks since Scott and I started taking the Univera product, Ageless Xtra, and WOW!! We can so tell a difference in ourselves. At first, I thought maybe I was feeling better because of the NovaSure procedure, but I was told to give my body at least 3 months for a difference there - and it's only been under one month, so it has to be the Ageless Xtra.

I blogged about some effects of this on my last blog entry but I had only just started the product. My Mom (who is 75 - don't tell her I told) is taking it, too, and she is just now beginning to tell a difference. This is not something to take if you are expecting a sudden burst of energy and a huge, immediate, drastic difference in your energy, stress level, mental clarity, and joint comfort/flexibiltiy...there are dealers on street corners with stuff for immediate action. No, this is subtle. Very subtle. My Mom said she was looking in the fridge for something, and noticed some containers that needed to be cleaned out. Normally, her thought pattern would be something like, "oh, those need to be cleaned out...I'll get to them later..." and of course, we know, later only comes when you have no other choice. But on this day, she grabbed the containers and cleaned them out. Then she noticed her sink faucet needed a good scrubbing, and she started on that. Before too long, she realized that she had cleaned her kitchen...something that she knew needed to be done, she just didn't have the energy for it. Now, when I talk to her on the phone, she's not sitting in the living room with my Dad watching TV all the time, she's up doing things. As the product works into her system more, I would imagine her focus and clarity will start sharpening up, too.

Scott has been taking it with me and he doesn't come home from work and crash on the couch at night anymore. As an example for him, last Friday, he took Hunter to school and came home and decided to clean the house. Naturally, I let him! He cleaned the kitchen, scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors, shampooed the carpets, and then went out to mow and edge the yard. Then, that evening, we played at the church for the Women's Conference. His focus is really coming back to him to get himself organized and structured on a work and practice schedule, which is something he has struggled with doing lately.

For me, I've had more energy, more clarity, way less stress, and now I've noticed that my back and shoulder doesn't bother me as much as it had been. Okay, yes, I have been going to a chiropractor for a while, but I think it is the combination that has really helped me.

I talked to someone else the other day who said she isn't telling much of a difference, but she might not be able to tell it right now...remember, it is subtle.

Anyway, for something that is not chemical laden, good for you, and really works, I recommend it. I'm still feeling good...and starting to lose some weight, too!! Whoo Hoo!!

Take care!

Feeling Good!

Okay, as odd as it may sound coming from me lately....I feel good. I'm not bouncing off the walls or anything, but I just "feel" good...or I feel well...whatever works for you.

I've been taking Univera products my doctor suggested and I can really tell a difference. The company's website (along with my doctor) claim that the Ageless Xtra product I'm taking does the following: Promotes Vital Energy, Supports Mental Clarity and Focus, Helps Manage Stress, and Promotes Joint Comfort and Flexibility. Uh huh, right, sure. Right? But guess what?!! IT DOES!!!

I could tell a difference in two days of taking this product. It was subtle, but there. I caught myself thinking "I feel good". I haven't thought that in a long while. I don't feel as tired as I have been feeling. I'm not jittery (no caffiene), not "reved up", just good. Then two days ago, we went through a small, but evident crisis here. During the afternoon, our tornado sirens went off and the local news was telling everyone in our area to take immediate shelter. I had Hunter, Hadyn and Ethan here. Hunter and Ethan flew off to grab pillows and headed to the bathtub in my bathroom. Hunter was screaming at me to come on, hurry up, etc. I went to grab their shoes, and a board to put over us in the tub. I had them in the bathroom and was trying to corral Hadyn to stay in the bathroom while I was watching the news and trying to see what was going on and where. With 3 little ones - one in a panic, one who would not stop talking, and one who did not see why she had to stay with the other two - you would think I'd be a little stressed, but no. After that crisis, the boys were playing and starting fighting and screaming with each other. I hate screaming. But again, I was stress free and just separated them and went on with my day.

Yeah, I think it works. I'm sold anyway. Anything that is natural, been around the world forever (30 years in Korea), my trusted physician has researched and likes, and the fact that IT WORKS, well count me in.

Let me know if you want to feel better, too! I'll hook you up!!!
