Salts to Soak Your Cares Away
I don't know about you, but I could really use some R and R right now. Being at home is not the same thing as relaxing and I would love to just soak in a warm bath with some sea salts. Dead Sea Bath Salts are an effective way to help you relax, relieve muscle tension or to simply enjoy a rejuvenating experience.
Blended with pure essential oils, Dead Sea Bath Salts are an effective way to help you relax, relieve muscle tension or to simply enjoy a rejuvenating experience.
The beneficial effects of the Dead Sea Salts on the skin and their unique therapeutic and beautifying powers have been recognized since ancient times. Cleopatra, considered the most beautiful woman in the world, went to great expense to obtain exclusive rights over the Dead Sea area. At her command, pharmaceutical and cosmetic factories were built near the Dead Sea.
There is nothing like a soak in a Dead Sea Salt bath. This practice was once relegated to high-end spas and expensive skin clinics, but now therapeutic salts are becoming common practice in homes all across America.
Soak your cares away with stabilizing Waters of Long Life™ or Flora Oceana Oil™ blend; or choose Unscented. Let the Dead Sea’s unique mineral mix melt your muscles while the harmonious blend of essentials replenishes your soul.

3 REASONS YOU SHOULD BE TAKING AN OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENT
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA) and one of the 90 Essential Nutrients recommended by Dr. Wallach for optimal health. It’s essential because it’s needed for a wide-range of functions in the body and must be consumed in one’s diet. Omega-3 plays a vital role in brain function, normal growth and development. Additionally, omega-3 has been found to help reduce the risk of heart disease and help combat chronic inflammation. However, most of us do not get enough omega-3s through diet alone so supplementing may be necessary.
Many people believe that by simply following a healthy diet they will get the nutrients they need for optimal health, but actually this is tremendously difficult. Conventional farming has become the standard and this has depleted soils and plants from their nutrient value. Additionally, farm-raised animals do not deliver the nutritional support for optimal health. Taking nutritional supplements will ensure you are getting the proper amount of nutrients you need for optimal health; especially omega-3.
HERE ARE 3 REASONS YOU SHOULD BE TAKING AN OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENT:
YOU DON’T EAT ENOUGH FOOD SOURCES OF OMEGA-3S
While it is possible to get omega-3s from food sources, many individuals do not eat enough of the foods that contain them. The best food sources of omega-3s come from wild caught seafood such as salmon, mackerel, cod, tuna, sardines, etc. Plant-based sources of omega-3 can be found in flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, and hemp seeds. If you rarely eat these foods, your body may be lacking the omega-3 essential fatty acids that are vital to your health.
YOU EAT TOO MANY FOODS HIGH IN OMEGA-6
In order to maintain optimal health, you need a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The problem is, most individuals consume food sources with high amounts of omega-6, such as avocados, nuts & seeds, eggs, grass-fed meat (including chicken and pork) and coconut oil. Additionally, the Standard American Diet is very high in unhealthy sources of omega-6 such as vegetable oils, salads dressings, and processed foods; which may lead to inflammation.
IT MAY HELP YOU LIVE LONGER
There are several benefits of consuming omega-3s, some of which have even been recognized by the FDA (may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease). And the amount of data supporting the health benefits of omega-3s only continues to grow; especially for cardiovascular health. Recently, research published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology found that consuming omega-3 supplements may reduce your risk of cardiac death by an average of 8%.[1] For individuals concerned about their heart health, omega-3s can be especially beneficial.
Make sure you’re giving your body the essential fatty acid balance it needs for optimal health. Youngevity offers Ultimate EFA Plus™ which delivers a balance of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids to ensure you’re getting the best sources of EFAs in the amounts you need.

The Best Defense is a Good Offense
THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE
This post was originally posted on the Youngevity blog and was written by Stacy Croninger
We’re still in the middle of flu season and in walks the Coronavirus (COVID-19), adding yet another virus to the mix–and this one’s no joke! Like any cold or flu season, knowing you have a strong defense will help you make the most of things. For most, you’ve helped your system by regularly taking your 90 For Life products, getting plenty of rest, moving your body, and eating a healthy, balanced diet. But there’s always more ways to be proactive.
Flattening the Curve
With most diseases or illnesses, there are curves involved. A steep curve that shows the large number of people that in a short time period get ill is not good. A flat curve that is spread across a larger time period is a good thing. The University of Michigan shared a graph for COVID-19 and explained that the way to keep the curve flat is to work as communities to minimize social contact. Or you might enjoy this one from Siouxsie Wiles and Toby Morris’s comic.
Siouxsie Wiles and Toby Morris’s comicIs this hard to do? You bet! It means cancelling events, working from home, setting up schools for online classes and much more. Definitely inconvenient, and often very disappointing. But compared to the people that we save from infection, definitely worth it. Dr. Markel, University of Michigan expert who has studied the effects of similar responses to past epidemics, said “Coronavirus is a socially transmitted disease, and we all have a social contract to stop it. What binds us is a microbe – but it also has the power to separate us. We’re a very small community, whether we acknowledge it or not, and this proves it. The time to act like a community is now.”
Home, Body, and On-the-Go Defense
Youngevity is here to help you create an effective defense that will help you defend your home and body, even when you’re on-the-go. We’ve created three special bundles, each with a specific purpose.
Home & Body Defense Pack: This all-encompassing pack includes EnviroMist® for use in your home and on-the-go. It also has Killer Biotic Fx®, which provides immune-enhancing benefits. Finally, Y-23 Immune™ Essential Oil, which can be diffused, inhaled, and in other uses to help support your lymphatic system.
On-the-Go Home & Body Defense Pack: This pack is perfect for those that want to disinfect their surroundings on the go as well as deodorize and sanitize any environment. Included are EnviroMist®, Killer Biotic Fx®, and two Essential Oils – Y-23 Immune™ and 1st Defense. These products all have specific uses that combine to create a healthier environment at home, in the office, or on-the-go.
Breathe Easy Defense Pack: This pack uses the powerful EnviroMist® system to sanitize and deodorize the air surrounding you and the surfaces you touch.
Keep Calm and Carry On
Times like these can be very stressful. There’s much that is unknown and whether you consider yourself a control freak or not, it’s hard not knowing what might happen.
So what’s the answer? Evaluate your personal situation and risks. Keep taking your Youngevity products. Find ways to bring joy into each day (try putting on your favorite happy song and dance like nobody is watching). And most importantly, remember you are not alone. We live in a time where technology helps us stay connected no matter if we live next door or in another country. So stay in touch with friends and family. And don’t let everything you read online add to your stress. Make sure the info is from a reputable source. And if all else fails, find people close by to have fun with, like this fitness instructor in Spain did.

Tips to Start Eating Healthier
This post was written by Rocio Ramos and was posted on the Youngevity Blog
A FEW CHANGES CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
As we begin to age, it’s important to make sure we’re eating healthy and partaking in healthy habits. For many, this may mean making pretty big changes to your diet and lifestyle. This can be difficult for individuals who have been following the same diet for decades. However, the reality is that as we age and our bodies changes, we need to adapt our diets to fit the needs of these changes.
EAT WHOLE FOODS, AVOID PROCESSED FOODS
First and foremost, you should always do your best to cook using real, whole foods and avoid processed foods as much as possible. You may ask, what designates a food as a processed food? One good guide can be found in “7 Ingredients Nutritionists Always Avoid” published on Yahoo! Health. It’s a great, basic guide to improving your food choices.
When looking at a food label, nutritionists ask you to avoid the following ingredients:
- Artificial Sweeteners – have been linked to increasing your risk for type 2 diabetes and increasing your calorie intake throughout the day.
- Carrageenan – a thickener found in dairy and milk products, whose safety is still unknown.
- Caramel Color – has been found as a carcinogen in animal testing.
- Trans Fats – artificial saturated fats that may increase your risk for heart disease.
- Sugar – known to increase your risk for several diseases, including obesity and heart disease.
- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) – known to be very high in sodium and may cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, chest pain and many other healthy concerns.
- High-Fructose Corn Syrup – this sugar replacement, used in many processed foods, has been linked to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and several other diseases.
The biggest thing when beginning to eat healthy and trying to remove foods from your diet is to read nutrition labels. If sugar is one of the top ingredients on a food label, you probably shouldn’t eat it. It may take some extra time, but going through the ingredients list on a food label is essential if you want to make sure you’re eating healthier.
In addition to eliminating processed foods from your diet, try adding Youngevity’s Ultimate Youth™ Green Super Food to your routine. It contains 46 powerful fruits and vegetables including wheat grass, spirulina, chlorella, dulse, blueberry and cranberry. This is an easy way to boost whole food intake and add greens to your diet. Remember, constant changes will be necessary, just do your best to make healthier choices to help your body thrive.

So, what did I come up with. I think that the Youngevity Total Meal Replacement is going to be my next purchase. It has a fairly low price per serving and the most protein (which is what I'm looking for). Interestingly enough, this is one of two shakes on this list that I haven't actually tried. My current go to in the Juice Plus Complete, but I'm looking for a change. The Total Meal Replacement is a little cheaper and has 10g more of protein. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
What is your favorite at home protein shake?
