Leading the way to a healthy lifestyle

PENNYLANE - Rebecca C. Rodriguez -

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but with today’s high-stress environment of toxins here, there, and everywhere, proper nutrition, coupled with an exercise regimen, might not be enough to maintain a healthy lifestyle anymore.The good thing is, since health is considered wealth, more people are leading the path to total wellness by adding dietary supplements to their lifestyle.

“It’s time for a new nutrition conversation with consumers. When we change the way we talk about nutrition from technical jargons to messages that reflect consumers’ needs and lifestyle, they hear better what we want them to know,” says Zenaida V. Narciso, officer-in-charge, office of the deputy director, Food and Nutrition Research Institute. “More importantly, they are able to take small, positive steps towards improving their health.”

With this in mind, Nutrilite, the global brand of dietary supplements, invited members of the press to Nutrition Camp at The Farm in San Benito, Batangas. Guests were treated to 100-percent vegan food, early morning meditation, live blood cell analysis, relaxation massage, and a series of nutrition talks  because Nutrilite aims to redefine healthy living in the country from merely being a fad into full understanding. 

“Currently, there is a ‘one size fits all’ nutrition phenomenon on the market with different people taking the same dietary supplements without really understanding what they need,” says Joy Andres-Villareal, Nutrilite product manager. “At the same time, no two people require the same health enrichment program. Thus, it takes a genuine know-how that is grounded on science, research, and commitment to deliver optimal health as promised.”

Back in the 1920s, Carl Rehnborg, Nutrilite founder, saw the significant connection between the food people ate and their overall health. He then set up a small laboratory to experiment with different plant varieties for six years until he created the first dietary supplement in America.

With the Nutrilite Health Institute Center in Buena Park, California experts from around the world are dedicated to helping people achieve optimal health through research, education, and practical, personalized solutions. Plus, the brand grows, harvests, and processes plants in its own certified organic farms. Expect products from seed to serving to be 100 percent free from synthetic pesticides, hebicides, and fertilizers. In order to be in tip-top shape, here are the essential vitamins and minerals needed from Nutrilite to complete your daily dose of being healthy:

• Natural Multi Carotene — it contains an exclusive natural carotene complex of beta carotene, alpha carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin from fruits and vegetables to provide vitamin A and antioxidant for the skin and eyes.

• Acerola C — a chewable vitamin C supplement with acerola cherry concentrate and lemon extract to beat the immune blues.

• Lecithin-E — contains phytonutrients from isoflavones for an excellent combination of naturally-derived vitamin E for antioxidant protection and lecithin for better absorption

• Natural B Complex — provides seven B vitamins from all-natural sources to help the body in energy production.

• Calcium Magnesium Plus — contains a combination of calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, and exclusive Nutrilite’s alfalfa concentrate to aid in bone maintenance and bone health.

• Omega-3 Complex — a natural fish oil supplement with vitamin E, which provides omega 3 fatty acids for good health.

• Garlic — contains pure concentrated garlic to assist in maintaining a healthy heart, blood lipids, and blood pressure.  “Education is the key to proper supplementation,” concludes Villareal. “And through this event, Nutrilite upholds its commitment to remain at the forefront of making optimal health accessible to many with straightforward products and expertly guided philosophies.”

They say you are what you eat. Hippocates once said, “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be your food.” That should definitely be your health mantra from now on.
