HEALTH SUPPORT PRODUCTS
To help you make the most of life.

Why do we need health support products?

A range of issues can effect you as you go through life.
Herbalife's ongoing research has developed a corresponding range of products that can be deployed against these issues as part of a personalised health support program.

Have you heard the old saying "Prevention is Better than Cure"?

Even the saying presumes that a cure is possible when it isn't always.
Most people have their car serviced regularly, knowing that if they don't it will break down, perhaps stranding them miles away from home.

Sadly few people pay much attention to the saying when it comes to their health and wellbeing. I think there are three reasons for this:-

Firstly; when you are young and in the prime of life and hopefully a fine physical specimen you tend to feel pretty invincible and don't see the need to be concerned about prevention. Preventing what? you might ask. When you are young, the servicing and MOT of your car tends to have a higher priority than servicing your body, even though you will probably part exchange the car in a few years. But only ever have one body.

Secondly; as you are getting older you may not feel the need for health support products since the little problems developing are, as you are told, age related and only to be expected. (even though you may be feeling them perhaps ten years before you expected to). You tend to feel confident that the support systems in the form of Doctors, hospitals, etc., are all in place to resolve the problems and look after you. Well that's what we keep being told, isn't it?
Although the systems are there for us, we should try very hard to make sure we are not over-reliant on them.

Thirdly; At the present time we do not have a culture that considers health support programs necessary and that takes continuous steps to prevent future sickness. We only think seriously about our health and wellbeing when we have already become sick.

I know this for a fact because I've been a member of all these groups.

Please! This isn't an attempt to alarm you unnecessarily, but someone must say something to shake people out of, what put simply, appears to be complacency and a preparedness to just accept the development of problems that in a lot of cases need not be there.

At the moment society is being bombarded with a collection of mixed messages ranging from those predicting doom, to the stream of advertising that goes out on a daily basis promising the "Silver Bullets" that will cure health problems instantly even if they have been neglected until now, giving people a false sense of security. As a result the messages are so mixed that when they get them people can be forgiven for thinking they only apply to someone else.

The message should be:- You are personally responsible for your own health and wellbeing and can seriously influence what happens to your health as you go through life. By ensuring your body receives what it needs to look after itself, you can help it avoid what is usually thought to be the "Bad Luck" that might otherwise befall it. The Good News Is; Herbalife health support products can help you avoid a lot of the "Bad Luck".

I wish someone had been very outspoken and hard-hitting with me as a young man.

Did you know; Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the number 1 killer of men and women in the United Kingdom and many serious cardiovascular problems go undetected and show no symptoms until of course, its too late.

For example, for 4 out of 5 stroke victims --- their first and only symptom is a stroke. I met one or two stroke victims when I was in hospital following a major heart attack in my early forties.
(I didn't see that coming either) After meeting these stroke victims I considered myself very lucky to only have suffered a heart attack.
The good news is; You are able to take actions that can greatly reduce the risk of this happening to you if you want to.

I was lucky, I survived my illness and recovered. For that, I will be eternally gratefull to our wonderful NHS.

I must add that recovery* from CVD isn't achieved quickly but can only be accomplished over the long term, it requires major changes to the way you live your life and at times is hard work. It often takes years to get into a bad situation healthwise so it is unrealistic to expect to correct it in an instant. There are no "Silver Bullets". It might be better to do all you can to avoid it.

This is why we believe it is better to concentrate on prevention, by using health support products, than suffer a lot of aggravation and rely on systems that are outside your control to pick up the pieces and correct something that may have been avoidable.

* When I talk about recovery from CVD I mean recovery, not just surviving into a sort of "limbo type life" that I went through while I was getting better.
