Healthy living is a choice. One that is very much in our control. In a world filled with increasing hustle and bustle, many people have turned to potentially unhealthy habits to help necessitate the needs of their busy day. Fast food, limited physical activity – we are sacrificing the healthy habits necessary to keep our bodies in their best working order. At Arbonne, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes…and it’s the start of a new year; let’s kick it off right and make healthy habits a choice.
Figure 8 Go Easy Vitamin/Mineral Shake is a unique blend of essential nutrients. One daily serving of Figure 8 Go Easy Vitamin/Mineral Shake delivers 20g of protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and folate as well as a good source of B vitamins and good source of minerals. The shakes contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc. They are sweetened with stevia which is a natural sweetener. Compare that to other similar products on the market that are sweetened with artificial sweeteners. One of the features of the Go Easy Vitamin/Mineral shakes is the great flavour. If you compare this to other similar products on the market the flavour is far superior. It is available in two convenient sizes - a15 serving size and a 30 serving size and two tantalizing flavours – chocolate and vanilla.
Arbonne’s Protein Matrix Blend provides 20 grams of easily digestible protein from three unique natural sources – pea, rice and cranberry. These protein sources are absorbed by the body very quickly and easily. This unique blend of protein has a couple of advantages over some traditional protein sources, like whey or soy. First, Arbonne’s Protein Matrix blend provides all of the essential amino acids required by the body. Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce itself. This means that in order to get adequate amounts for optimal health we must make sure that we consume what we need in our diet. Pea protein is particularly rich in the essential amino acids, arginine and lysine. Some studies have shown that the consumption of essential amino acids such as arginine and lysine increased protein turnover and improved lean body mass, and physical strength. And secondly not only is whey an animal based protein but both whey and soy proteins have allergic response risks. Folks who are allergic to milk products or to soy should avoid these types of protein.
There are many studies that link protein consumption with satiety. Satiety is that desired satisfied feeling of being full after eating. Consuming foods with high-protein has been shown to enhance the feeling of fullness and also to increase the time until the next food intake. In other words consuming something with high protein will leave you feeling very satisfied, feeling full and you won’t feel like you need to eat again for a longer period of time. Consuming a high-protein snack may also lead to reduced energy intake during the next meal. Think about this in the scope of a normal day. There are times in our busy lives where we skip meals or just find ourselves running out of steam and craving something mid-morning or mid-afternoon or even worse late at night. We often turn to drive-thru options or convenience foods that offer quick choices and a quick fix. These choices are typically high in caffeine, refined sugar and fat. Not only do these options provide empty calories, but the brief feeling of satisfaction they give wears off very quickly. If instead we replaced our mid-morning muffin and coffee, or our afternoon diet soft drink and bag of chips with a Chocolate or Vanilla Vitamin/Mineral Shake with 20 grams of protein, we would be taking one small step towards a healthier lifestyle.
