Looking and Feeling Younger

Aging is more than what we see when we look in the mirror. It is more than skin deep. A study found that people who look younger than their age tend to live longer than those who look older than their age.

The Melaleuca Wellness Guide tells us that much of our ability to live a full and active life has to do with planning to be well and taking preventive measures against disease early in life. Our diet and our daily habits influence how we age. Let's take a look at some easy to implement anti-aging tips:
Strengthen Your Bones and Muscles

Bone loss and muscle wasting are age-related conditions that can slowly sneak up on us. Science Daily reports that the typical diet with the majority of the day's protein consumed at the evening meal may not be the best plan to promote healthy aging and maintenance of muscle size and strength.

ProFlex and Vitality Elevate Ultra-Performance Protein shakes can be used to balance our daily protein needs. Overeating and inactivity speed up the aging process right down to our cells. Now scientists have found that exercise can prevent this process of aging, and that "lifestyle choices have a profound impact on our health and successful aging."
"Younger" Brains

Another study found that a diet lacking in omega-3 fatty acids may cause your brain to age faster and lose some of its memory and thinking abilities. Vitality Coldwater Omega-3 contains the ideal balance of DHA and EPA fatty acids. Omega-3s are also found in Phytomega and Unforgettables Cognitive Support.

Keeping our brains active is important, but it is exercise that helps maintain healthy brain size.
"Younger" Hearts

An abundance of research has been done documenting the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for heart health. The best sources of DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids come from cold water fish.

High fiber foods also help us lose weight, lower blood sugars, and help lower heart disease risk.

Studies have found that grape seed extract provides many health benefits, including help in maintaining a healthy blood pressure. ProVex-Plus and ProvexCV contain potent anti-aging grape seed extracts and flavonoids.
More Tips

Replenex joint supplements help rebuild cartilage, and help keep our knees walking.

NutraView helps prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. Flossing every day helps prevent the buildup of bacteria that can enter the bloodstream through bleeding gums. Bleeding gums are a risk factor for heart disease. Melaleuca's Natural Dental Care containing bacteria-killing Melaleuca Oil. Remember to floss with Waxed Dental Floss. Children can start the healthy habit of flossing by using Koala Pals Flossers.

Another recommended healthy habit is the use of sunscreen to avoid immediate and accumulative sun damage. Using Sun Shades Mineral Plus SPF 30+ sunscreen and Sei Bella Skin Care every day is recommended.

Healthy habits are crucial in our quest to look and feel "younger." We are maintained by what we eat.

Looking and Feeling Younger Success Stories

The younger gals in my exercise class frequently talk about their physical problems, doctor visits and prescriptions. At 76, I’m still doing the Group Power exercise class with weights twice a week and walking three miles in a walk group I started for the other three days of the week. I feel more like 50, and my attendance is the highest of anyone in both groups. Melaleuca’s Peak Performance Pack, ProvexCV, ProVex Plus, Replenex, non-toxic cleaners and personal care products keep me young and healthy. I am not on any prescriptions and do not need to use over-the-counter type products because I never get colds or sick with whatever is going around. Sei Bella does its best to keep wrinkles away, so people are surprised when they learn of my age. For almost 25 years, Melaleuca products have been my best health insurance policy!

I use the Peak Performance vitamins and love them! I had let them get empty on me a couple months ago and felt it right away! Never again do I want that to happen! Gives me energy and a love for life. Thank u for your wonderful products!!

My dermatologist always comments that I look much younger than my age. But I have a funny story on the subject: A few months ago I ran into a lady that I had not seen for probably 15 to 20 years. She exclaimed that I looked the same, that I hadn't aged! Then she asked if I sleep in Tupperware! Of course she was being funny! My favorite supplements for looking younger and healthier are NutraView, Coldwater Omega-3 and ProvexCV. I use Sei Bella Skin Care, and of course Renew Lotion especially on my arms and legs. What a difference Renew makes.

I have been a loyal user of the Melaleuca skin care line for over 18 years. Through the transition from Nicole Miller to Sei Bella I continue to love the products! I was so excited to try the Luxury Creme when it debuted because I was always sensitive about my neck looking older than my face. There was a dramatic difference with my very first jar. People joined our team solely on the basis of the noticeable results. I was equally pleased that the concentrate lasted four months for me, which made it even more affordable. I was not sure what to expect when I decided to add the new Luxury Serum. I was pleasantly surprised to notice a big difference in reducing my pores. Together these products are a win-win combination!

~ Karen

People are surprised when they hear my age is 72, and I feel much younger (maybe like 40 or 50). I have been a Melaleuca customer for 20 years and have consistently used the Vitality Pack plus additional supplements, all of the Ecosense products, Melaleuca's pharmaceutical and bath and body products, especially the facial products, now Sei Bella. I take a strength building class twice a week and walk 2 or 3 miles other days. I make sure I get a good night's sleep and try to forget sugar! Being healthy is so easy when almost everything is under one roof!

I stopped coloring my hair when I turned 60. It actually was a pretty silver for which I received a lot of compliments. In March I started on the Vitality Total 50+. When I went to get my hair trimmed, my hairdresser commented that my hair seemed to be getting darker. Five months later, my hair looks frosted. There are brown steaks in it and even the light streaks look more blond than grey. I told my hair dresser that my vitamins are making me younger every day!

~ Chris

I have been using the Skin Revitalizing Serum for many years now. I was putting some on one day and my son walked past the bathroom. He sarcastically commented, "Mom, it's not working." I said, "How do you know? Imagine what I'd look like if I didn't use it!" I'm not going to stop using it just to find out, though! I recently started using the Night Firming Treatment and have noticed a definite improvement. I look well rested, even if I haven't slept well. Good stuff!

~ Melly

I am 63 years young and people say I look 50. I have been taking Melaleuca vitamins for about 10 years now and attribute some of my good skin and health to that. I have very dry skin and have always had problem finding a good product so my skin does not feel tight. I have very few wrinkles and all I use is the gold bar for washing and the Renew cream to hydrate for a few years now. My face never felt so good!
