With the start of each new year, many people will declare New Year’s resolutions. The most popular of these will be losing weight and getting fit. However, despite best intentions, a majority of those people will find discouragement after only a month or so because of minimal results from regular diet and exercise. In the end, it will mean yet another year of resolutions made and broken. So, how can you break this viscious cycle?
The key is to start your year off right is with specific health and wellness goals that you know you can achieve. For example, if you know you can lose 5 pounds in 30 days, make that your goal. Then, once you’ve reached that milestone, celebrate your success and set a new, attainable goal for the next month.
In addition, with Isagenix products, we are fortunate to have the ultimate tools for a fresh start at truly accomplishing our goals and reaching our resolutions. The following are ways you can use Isagenix products to start your new year right and make 2011 your best, healthiest, leanest and most prosperous year ever!
Step #1: Cleanse the holiday pounds off with the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System
Cleansing is a great way to start off the new year. With all of the holiday indulging, the ultimate way to rid those excess pounds, regain mental clarity and improve both physical and mental energy is with the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System. As shown in two clinical trials, the system can help you drop a full point on the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale within nine to 30 days. Cleansing will give you a brand new start and, at Isagenix, we know that within just a couple of days, you will look and feel a noticeable difference and be motivated to continue towards your health and wellness goals.
Step #2: Keep weight loss going strong with IsaLean Shake, IsaLean Bars and IsaPro
The high-quality protein in IsaLean Shake, IsaLean Bars and IsaPro helps keep you fuller longer and supplies the right building blocks that help you maintain your hard-earned muscle as you exercise. All three products contain our exclusive undenatured whey protein. The whey protein is also an excellent way to provide healthy immune support—research shows that whey protein raises glutathione levels, which will promote optimal cellular defenses.
Step #3: Stay resilient with Ionix Supreme, IsaFruits and Isamune Plus
Start the year off right with a strong immune system. Products that will really make a difference in protecting you are Ionix® Supreme, IsaFruits® and Isamune® Plus. Ionix Supreme contains antioxidants for cell protection and plant-based adaptogens to increase your body’s natural resistance to the negative effects of stress that can suppress the immune system. Isamune Plus contains proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs), which enhance the thymus gland to release factors that help regulate immune functions in the body. PRPs have a powerful effect in initiating and balancing our immune responses. In addition, the immunoglobulins and lactoferrin contained in Isamune Plus are combined for optimal immune support. Taken on a regular basis, they will strengthen your immunity. In addition, IsaFruits contains antioxidants that can also protect and strengthen our immune system so that we can experience wellness throughout the entire year. For children, Isamune Plus, IsaLean Shakes and Bars, IsaFruits and, of course, IsaKids Essentials will help to ensure a strong immune system and a healthy, balanced body!
Step #4: Turn back the clock with Ageless Essentials Daily Pack
Commit to starting a program with nutrients and bioactives for optimal anti-aging. One way is to take the Ageless Essentials Daily Pack consistently. Looking and feeling great as we age is important, but looking and feeling younger is even better. Our Ageless Essential Daily Pack is the perfect combination of essential nutrients to give you what you need for overall health and cellular rejuvenation. Damage to our cells comes from oxidative stress, toxicity, and deficiencies, which speed up the aging process. Protecting our cells by replenishing with some key nutrients can help slow cellular aging and therefore the aging process. CoQ10 is one important nutrient that increases energy production in cells and acts as an antioxidant, providing protection from oxidative stress. Within a few weeks, those committed to taking the daily AM and PM packets daily will begin to notice positive benefits to their health and wellbeing.
Step #5: Get your digestive tract started on the right track.
We tend to abuse our bodies during the holiday season, overdoing it on rich, fatty foods and a little too much alcohol. This causes an overload, especially for detoxifying organs such as the liver and kidneys. It also can lead to weight gain and digestive problems such as excess gas, bloating and irregular bowel movements. FiberPro, Multi-Enzyme Complex and IsaFlush!® are three products that can help you to get back to enjoying a healthy, balanced digestive system. FiberPro supports a balance of healthy probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. Multi-Enzyme Complex provides a full spectrum of enzymes to help your body break down and absorb the nutrients in the foods that you eat. IsaFlush! contains magnesium and herbs that support normal bowel function.
Staying on Track
A few steps with the help of a few Isagenix products can go a long way to getting your new year started off right. By shedding unwanted toxins and pounds, supporting a healthier immune system, a slower aging process, improving digestive function, and setting some specific, achievable goals, 2011 can be the healthiest year of your life!
Lastly, sharing your goals with others will help you to achieve your goals more effectively. Be part of a community of like-minded people—it’s helpful to have a support system; other people who can encourage you and help you stay on track. Spreading word of your achievements will also turn you into a walking billboard—your success can inspire others to set and meet their own goals for improved health. What a great way to start the new year!
