 Good nutrition is the basis of an active, healthy lifestyle. Whether you are an elite athlete or make an occasional visit to the gym, Herbalife's range of targeted Cellular nutrition products can help you maximize your performance as part of an overall healthy eating plan.

Diet can significantly affect sport and exercise performance. Training can be wasted without sound nutritional support.

This includes the right balance of carbohydrates, protein and good fats

But whether you are a top athlete or just a Sunday sportsman, Herbalife's range of targeted nutrition products can help you get you over your own personal finishing line.

The right nutritional strategy before, during and after training can make the difference between a good performance and a great performance.

The science of sports nutrition has four basic components - Fuelling, Refuelling, Repair and Recovery:

1.    FUELLING - carbohydrates are vital to fuelling your muscles with the energy they need to get through an event or training session, in particular complex carbohydrates which can be found in wholegrain pasta, cereal or bread, oatmeal or dried fruit. If you are nervous before an event, try a meal replacement that contains carbohydrates, such as Herbalife's Formula 1 Protein Shake Mix - a carbohydrate, protein, vitamin and mineral nutritional shake that can be mixed with fruit juice or semi-skimmed milk. Add some fruit if you want some extra carbs. Recipes.

The legendary weight-control shake that started it all!

Herbalife’s very first product was the original Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix.

This is the phenomenal formula that started a revolution in the weight-loss industry. Made from a unique blend of soy proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and herbs, Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix provides all the essential amino acids needed for sound nutrition and good health. And this is what sets Formula 1 apart from the weight-loss pack: It is nutritious and good for you, unlike a few fad diets on the market these days.

By drinking two Formula 1 shakes a day, in conjunction with eating one balanced, low-calorie meal and following a careful, Herbalife-based dietary regimen, you can reach your goal weight quickly and safely.

Formula 1 shakes are very easy to make: Just drop three or four ice cubes into your blender along with two tablespoons of Formula 1 and 8 fluid ounces of fruit juice or non-fat milk and mix well. The result is a rich-looking, creamy shake drink that you’d swear came from your local soda fountain. Better still is the taste—a Formula 1 shake is so delicious you almost end up thinking you should feel guilty! Dieting never tasted this good.  See recipes

Discussion Points

Herbalife shakes are powerful tools in helping you reduce unwanted calories and fat in your diet.”

This refreshing herbal drink contains specially selected herbs, including green tea extract.  Play sports?  Fat loss? Avoiding fizzy sugary drinks

Do you drink a lot of coffee? Too much coffee can rob the body of essential nutrients and increase radical damage. And as a diuretic coffee doesn't count as part of your daily water consumption.

Do you often choose a fizzy drink rather than water? Fizzy drinks contain on average, six teaspoons of sugar in each can. Plain water is often the last option when choosing a drink, despite its importance to our well being. Fizzy and carbonated drinks do not allow the cells of our body to absorb nutrients correctly and can easily upset our body’s delicate infrastructure.

Do you drink enough water? A lack of water disguises itself by producing many ailments that are not first recognised as water deficiency. Water is one of the five elements essential to life, every cell in the body is dependent on a plentiful supply for proper function. Drinking Instant Herbal Beverage regularly can help increase water consumption.

Do you find burning up excess calories a problem? When we consume an excess of energy (by eating beyond what the body needs) we store the excess as fat. Drinking Instant Herbal Beverage along with regular exercise can help avoid this.

Need some extra vitality before going to the gym? Take the Herbal Beverage on the way to the gym (hot and cold) in preference to a carb based energy snack, which slows down the fat burning process.

Herbalife personalised protein powder Information
In January 2003, Herbalife launched its new protein powder in the & we have sold many tubs to both customers losing weight but also body builders wishing to improve their muscle tone.
Protein is an essential component for nearly every cell in the body.
When on a diet it is often the case that people cut down on protein to try and lose weight, maybe without realising, but this can lead to nutritional deficiencies and result in a slower weight loss or even weight gain.
Yo-Yo dieting is a common problem and is often due to not enough protein and can result in people giving up dieting altogether.
To ensure that you are getting the correct amount of protein in your diet we recommend 1-3 level tablespoons of this powder a day (5-15 grams). The amount will depend on how much you weigh and what other food you eat. The approximate daily amount should be 50-60 grams for women and 70 grams for men.
Working out how much protein you should be taking is simple, you should take 1 gram of protein for every kilogram you weigh. So if you weigh 60k, you need approximately 60 grams of protein a day.
If you are trying to lose weight, protein powder can be added to your food or meal replacement without adding extra fat, carbohydrates, yeast, cholesterol, salt, lactose, sweeteners or artificial colours.
With Herbalife protein powder, you can lose weight quickly without fear of depleting your muscles, clogging up your arteries or putting on weight..
Herbalife is ideal for sports activities, it is recommended to have approximately 25 grams of protein after a workout.
It can be mixed with our Formula 1 meal replacement shake, hot or cold drinks, soup and sauces.
Protein powder contains Soy protein (a vegetable protein) which contains isoflavones to help control cholesterol levels.
It also contains whey protein, rich in cystine and methionine which are both vital for healthy muscle development.
It is currently available in 1 flavour - Neutral (it does have a slight vanilla flavouring!).

USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

·         One level tablespoon of powder (6 grams) supplies 5 grams of protein.

·         Take 1-4 servings daily.

·         Add to Formula 1 meal replacement shake, food, soup, gravy and sauces.

·         For use with Shapeworks™ Formula 1 shake.

·         WOMEN - add 1-2 tablespoons (5-10g of protein) to each shake.

·         MEN - add 1-3 tablespoons (5-15g of protein)

·         Helps maintain a safe and recommended protein intake.

·         Contains approximately 5 grams of protein per level tablespoon.

Helps you obtain the right protein intake without the  fat, sugar, carbohydrates, yeast, cholesterol, salt, lactose, sweeteners or artificial colours.

Why 100% Protein Powder? Protein, more specifically the building blocks of protein called "amino acids," is an essential component of every cell in the body. The cells of the immune system, skin, hair and muscle all depend on protein for proper functioning and growth.

Maintaining weight-Adequate daily protein intakes range from 50 to 60 grams for women to at least 70 to 80 grams for men. An easy way to determine the optimum range of protein you need daily is to have 1 gramme of protein for each kilogram of body weight, so if you weigh 60 kilogram's, you need approximately 60 grams of protein a day.

Losing weight - Protein builds, repairs and maintains. Your muscles are fat furnaces essential for burning stored fat. This product supports your body's potential to maintain muscle mass while you are busy shedding unwanted fat. Add a scoop a day to your shakes to help keep your fat furnaces on file!. All too often many people on a diet cut back on protein in an effort to trim calories and lose weight. This can lead to deficiencies that not only rob health, but can also trigger nutritional imbalances in your body that can slow weight loss and eventually lead to weight gain, a condition referred to as "yo-yoing." To get out of the vicious "yo-yo" cycle, you need to feed your body the proper balance of nutrients, one of the most important being protein. Example: women 100grams, men 150 grams

Great news for those trying to control their weight :Adding Formula 3 Protein Supplement Powder to  Formula 1  increases your protein intake without adding extra fat, cholesterol or calories from animal proteins.

Get off the weight-loss plateau: One to three level tablespoons of the powder a day can add up to 15 grams of high-quality protein. This increases the feeling of fullness and helps assure adequate protein intake.  Add to your shake or other foods.

Protein intake: Formula 1 shake -9 grammes of protein per serving;  Roasted Soy beans  11 grammes; Protein bars 10 grammes;

And for those concerned about Cholesterol levels? The inclusion of at least 25g Soya protein per day as part a diet low in saturated fats can help reduce blood cholesterol. Two Formula 1 shakes provide 18 g of soy protein plus a  serving of  Soy nuts(11 g soy protein per 90g serving or   Herbalife’s  Protein  supplement powder (5g soy protein per serving) can provide over 25g of soy protein.

Weightlifters can use  Formula 1 Protein Drink shake , add milk, fruit and two level dessert spoons of Formula 3Protein Supplement Powder for a   post-workout replacement shake.

Sports people Few will argue that nutrition plays a critical role in everyone’s health, but it is especially important for athletes involved in muscle-mass development. Even the most powerful athletes can’t reach their potential without proper nutrition. Athletes must provide their bodies with high-quality protein to assist muscle cells in repairing themselves. Protein comes in the form of meat, soy products, cheese and dairy products. However, most of these are in the form of animal proteins, which add greatly to the bad cholesterol in our bodies. Therefore we need to look for high quality proteins from non-animal sources. Help you to reduce your fat%

4. RECOVERY - athletes create a large build up of free radicals as a consequence of using oxygen to create energy. The free radicals are a natural by-product of this process, which has been linked with damage to healthy cells. The body is able to defend itself against these free radicals using its own supply of antioxidants found in fruit, salads and vegetables. When needed, a high quality antioxidant supplement such as Herbalife Roseox can be helpful to combat free radicals.

Research suggest that antioxidants nutrients assist in reducing recovery time by helping the body combat free –radical damage. Athletes create large amounts of free radicals in several ways. One way is by simply breathing in far more oxygen than a non-active person does.
By minimising free–radical production, the athlete can potentially reduce the amount of recovery time needed between events. Reducing free –radical damage may:
1. speed up lactic acid removal mechanisms
2. reduce muscle-fibril degradation
3. increase glycogen resynthesis

The bottom line is that an athlete may feel less soreness, stiffness and fatigue. This may lead to more time for practice and playing the sport. A variety of antioxidants enhance the body’s recovery and regenerate each other to sustain the body’s antioxidant power

DO: Take Herbalife's antioxidant products –  ROSE OX(immune system). The body has to perform optimally when in a state of good nutritional health. As active people, we must take a proactive approach toward our nutritional health. As active people, we must take a proactive approach toward our nutritional intake so that we have high quality fuel available and the energy necessary to sustain our desired levels of activity, exercise and competition.

 RoseOx™ - The Ultimate Antioxidant Dietary Supplement

Helps protect the body’s cells and enhances the benefits of other antioxidants

We know that antioxidants are good for us. They help protect our bodies from cell damage by neutralizing the "free radical" oxygen molecules that bombard us every day. Many fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and minerals known for their antioxidant qualities. Unfortunately, we don’t always have time to eat the right amount of these foods, so we take antioxidant supplements.

What we may not know is that rosemary extract, along with other herbs, can help speed up and regenerate the antioxidants we take.* Herbalife’s RoseOx™ is the first of a new generation of antioxidants with a cascade effect. The cascade effect refers to the unique ability to change into a series of progressively active forms, which can help create a dramatically more potent, longer-lasting result.* RoseOx™ has the further capability to help regenerate other antioxidants, including Vitamin E, which do not have this advantage.*

Discussion Points

·         Antioxidant support: Helps promote the antioxidant capabilities of Vitamin E.*

·         Cascade effect: RoseOx™ has the unique ability to change into a series of progressively active forms to increase its potency and create a longer-lasting antioxidant effect.*

·         Rosemary extract: RoseOx™ is made with rosemary extract and blended with an exclusive combination of herbs to work synergistically with other antioxidants.*

Did You Know?

The rosemary plant originated in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea; now it grows in North America as well. The leaf has always been used for medicinal purposes. Throughout history, it played a role in European herbalism and popular folklore; rosemary sprigs were considered a love charm, a sign of remembrance, and a way to ward off the plague. In ancient China, rosemary was used for headaches.
