Now on track to qualify for Atlantis and Bora Bora, D attributes success to serving the needs of others and teaching your team the art of leadership and how to inspire others.<br />
So, it’s only natural that the N Center, a 501c3 non-profit D helped sponsor with <strong>D and K G</strong> and the <b>Shaklee Fundraising Program</b>, became the first non-profit in Shaklee to qualify as a Director, and on the Fast<em>TRACK</em> too!<br />
Founded in 1965 by parents of developmentally disabled children, the N Center creates independence for people with disabilities. They embrace a <b>green </b>statement, as do the customers they serve, making it a perfect fit with Shaklee and our mission.<br />
The N Center is able to <b>raise funds</b> when people purchase <b>quality</b>,<b> Earth-friendly</b>, <b>socially responsible</b> <b>Shaklee products</b> that keep the people they serve on the leading edge of society, while helping Shaklee and the N Center to meet their goals and live their vision.<br />
D loves the big vision, big dreams and big goals that Shaklee has, so that we can accommodate big thinkers. And isn’t that why we’re all here?<br />
<br />
<b>What non-profit (501c3) organization do you know of that would benefit from earning extra income?</b> Who do you know that requires extra income?<br />

You've probably been stuck behind drivers with mountain-deep snow on top of their vehicles and just small areas of the front and back windows cleared. That's dangerous for them and you and could be illegal. </p> <p>One of the biggest things police and the Ohio Highway Patrol officers see are cars going down the road that only have the small cubby-hole cleared off and not the rest of the vehicle.</p> <p>There are lots of laws on the books about winter driving and driving in general.</p> <p>For example, a driver with frost- or snow-covered windows <span style="font-style: italic;">can be cited for having an obscured view.</span></p> <p>And a new law that went into effect last Friday requires drivers to have their headlights on in any weather where the windshield wipers are in use. If you don't, you <span style="font-style: italic;">can be fined $100.</span></p> <p>In some cities it is against the law to leave your car idling for more than 10 or 20 minutes. You could face fines for that in Cleveland, Maple Heights and South Euclid.</p> <p>There's also a new state law that requires drivers to slow down or move over a lane when there's a tow truck driver on the side of the road. That <span style="font-style: italic;">law carries up to a $300 fine.</span></p>Vickie Kuhn, a Shaklee Independent Distributor and Fundraiser Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955307084338083165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074576766132756848.post-12391272952477373192010-01-07T05:22:00.002-05:002010-01-07T05:26:33.418-05:00What if?<h4 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If every American spends $20/month on US made products, they would put $6 billion/month into our <span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;">economy.

Calories rule!<br /><br />Did you really think that someone had repealed the laws<br />of thermodynamics?<br /><br />Once you understand and accept that the difference<br />between calories in and calories out is the most<br />important determinant of successful weight loss, you<br />can start to understand the key principles of<br />successful weight loss.<br /><br />Principle #1: The diet doesn't have to be weird to be<br />successful.<br /><br />In fact the diet is most likely to succeed if it<br />includes foods that are familiar to you.<br /><br />If you're a "meat and potatoes" guy, a vegetarian diet<br />is not likely to be successful for you (Some of my<br />friends refer to that kind of diet as "rabbit food").<br /><br />Plus, we are all different. Some of us will lose weight<br />successfully on one diet. Other people will be more<br />successful on a different diet.<br /><br />That means that the diet that worked so well for your<br />friend might not work at all for you. You will need to<br />experiment a bit to find the best diet for you<br /><br />And, before you ask me, your body type or blood type<br />has absolutely nothing to do with which diet is going<br />to work best for you.<br /><br />I do want to add a caveat, however: You do need to make<br />some changes to your diet. You will want to drop some<br />foods from your diet and include some foods and diet<br />drinks that are new to you.<br /><br />You will want to think about what you are eating and<br />make conscious choices about which foods are helping<br />you fulfill your goals of losing weight and which are<br />not.<br /><br />Principle #2: The diet should be one that is healthy in<br />the long run.<br /><br />I'm particularly talking about the popular high fat,<br />low carbohydrate diets here. It is clear that diets<br />high in fat - particularly saturated and trans fats -<br />are associated with increased risk of heart disease,<br />diabetes, cancer and inflammatory diseases.<br /><br />Plus, high fat diets just don't work well for long term<br />weight control. Fat has more calories than<br />carbohydrate. This is not rocket science!<br /><br />Just in case you don't believe me you just need to<br />consult the National Weight Control Registry. The<br />National Weight Control Registry was established in<br />1994 and has tracked the weight loss strategies of over<br />5000 people who have been successful at keeping their<br />weight off long term.<br /><br />While those people lost weight using every diet in the<br />books, the vast majority of them that were successful<br />at keeping their weight off long term followed a low<br />calorie, low-fat diet to maintain their weight loss.<br /><br />Principle #3. Don't forget the other part of the<br />calorie equation.<br /><br />That's right, I'm talking about exercise.<br /><br />While you burn some calories every time you exercise,<br />the real value of exercise is that it increases lean<br />muscle mass - and lean muscle mass burns more calories<br />than fat.<br /><br />Again, if you consult the National Weight Control<br />Registry, you will find that virtually everyone who has<br />been successful at keeping the weight off exercises on<br />an almost daily basis.<br /><br />Principle #4: Don't start if you can't finish.<br /><br />Once again, the National Weight Control Registry puts<br />that in perfect perspective.<br /><br />Almost everyone who was successful at keeping the<br />weight off long term had stopped thinking of it as a<br />diet. It was just a way of life.<br /><br />It was how they ate. It was the exercise that they<br />liked to do on a daily basis. It no longer required any<br />conscious effort.

Many studies have supported this hypothesis, and a study published earlier this year, <a href="http://shaklee.custhelp.com/rd?1=Avca%7Ewp9Ev8S3%7E%7E%7EGpce%7EyL%7EJvkq%7Exf%7E&2=9427" target="_blank">http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/<wbr>content/18/4/1050.abstract</a> (<em>Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev</em> 2009;18(4):1050-9), found that soy intake during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood was associated with decreased breast cancer risk in Asian American women. <br /><br />However, the estrogen-like effect of isoflavones and the potential interaction with tamoxifen (a drug used for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer) have fueled concerns about soy food consumption among breast cancer survivors. But only limited laboratory and animal research has linked high levels of soy phytoestrogens to potential breast tumor cell growth, so we need to be extremely cautious before generalizing these results to humans.<br /><br />To assess the effects of soy food intake on breast cancer outcomes, researchers from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., and the Shanghai Institute of Preventive Medicine in Shanghai, China, collaborated on this study to evaluate the association of soy food intake after breast cancer diagnosis with total mortality and cancer recurrence.<br /><br />The current study population of 5,033 participants originated from the Shanghai Breast Cancer Survival Study, a longitudinal, population-based study of 6,299 survivors in China between the ages of 20 and 75. These women were diagnosed as having primary breast cancer between March 2002 and April 2006 and they were recruited into the study about six months after cancer diagnosis.<br /><br />Information on cancer diagnosis and treatment, lifestyle exposures after cancer diagnosis, and disease progression was collected six months after cancer diagnosis and reassessed at three follow-up interviews conducted at 18, 36, and 60 months following diagnosis. Total mortality and breast cancer recurrence, or breast-cancer-related deaths, were recorded, adjustments were made for influencing lifestyle factors, and soy food intake was treated as a time-dependent variable.<br /><br />During the four-year follow-up, soy food intake (measured as soy protein or soy isoflavone intake) was inversely associated with death and recurrence. <strong>Those with the highest level of soy intake had a 29% reduced risk for death and a 32% reduced risk for recurrence compared with those having the lowest soy intake levels</strong>. Adjusted four-year mortality rates were 10.3% for those with the lowest and 7.4% for those with the highest soy intake. Four-year recurrence rates were 11.2% for women with the lowest and 8% for those with the highest levels of soy protein intake. The inverse association was evident among women with either estrogen-receptor positive or negative breast cancer, and was present in both users and nonusers of tamoxifen. As American subjects may respond differently to the effects of soy compared to breast cancer survivors in China, the potential benefit may not be the same.<br /><br />The authors conclude that among women with breast cancer, soy food consumption was significantly associated with decreased risk of death and recurrence. As mentioned earlier, this is an important study that helps to clarify the safety of soy food intake in breast cancer patients. Scientists are still trying to understand all of soy’s hormonal effects. For example, it’s possible that soy acts like the breast cancer drug tamoxifen, which blocks the effects of estrogen, but additional research is needed to confirm or dismiss this possibility.<br /><br />In addition to its potential breast health benefits, soy foods are a source of high quality protein nutrition and an excellent alternative to traditional protein sources that are often laden with excess calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. In fact, when considering the entire body of scientific research on soy, the majority of scientific data strongly supports the value of soy protein as part of a healthy diet for heart health, breast and prostate health, bone health, and for managing menopausal symptoms. So our position has been and continues to be: When soy foods are consumed as part of an overall healthful diet, they are exceedingly safe, nutritious, and potentially beneficial. </p> <p>But because safety should be your number one concern and each individual is a special case, all women with a history of breast cancer, or those at high risk, should discuss the use of soy protein as part of a healthful diet with their physician.</p> <p>Happy holidays!</p> <p><strong>Shaklee</strong> <strong>Health Sciences</strong></p><p><strong><a href="http://vickiekuhn.myshaklee.com"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);font-size:100%;" >To Discover the Shaklee Difference Click Here to Visit MY Website , <span style="font-size:78%;">Vickie</span></span></a><br /></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>Vickie Kuhn, a Shaklee Independent Distributor and Fundraiser Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955307084338083165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074576766132756848.post-70510342233341552792009-12-24T21:26:00.001-05:002009-12-24T21:27:26.307-05:00Happy Holidays!Wishing you a happy holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2010!Vickie Kuhn, a Shaklee Independent Distributor and Fundraiser Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955307084338083165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074576766132756848.post-81471242660506627182009-12-22T05:05:00.004-05:002009-12-22T05:16:03.495-05:00Staying Healthy During the Holidays<img style="width: 401px; height: 80px;" alt="Shaklee Health Sciences Bulletin" src="http://www.shaklee.net/pws/images/email/healthsci_email_head1.jpg" /> <table width="636" align="center" background="http://www.shaklee.net/pws/images/email/healthsci_email_back1.gif" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td width="30" valign="top"><strong><img alt="Image" src="http://www.shaklee.net/pws/images/email/spacer.gif" width="30" height="1" /></strong></td> <td width="576" valign="top"> <table style="width: 373px; height: 2701px;" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong><img alt="Image" src="http://www.shaklee.net/pws/images/email/spacer.gif" width="10" height="1" /></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong>Staying Healthy During the Holidays<br /><br />Hello Shaklee Family,</strong></p> <p>Of course the holidays are fun. But let’s be honest; faced with a dizzying array of shopping, cooking, cleaning, decorating, entertaining guests, and attending too many social events to count, the holiday season can also be stressful, leaving you feeling exhausted, frazzled, and under the weather!</p> <p>The stress associated with the holidays is a double-edge sword. In the right dose, it can get you going and inspire you to pull together a fabulous holiday meal or find just the perfect gift for someone special. But too much stress all at once, or day after day without a break, can be overwhelming, leaving you prone to holiday melt-downs instead of merriment.</p> <p>Here are a few ideas to help you manage this holiday season better so it is the happy—and healthy—time it can be!</p> <p><strong>1) Take Control of Your Schedule</strong><br /><br /><strong>Plan ahead</strong> – The next few weeks will be chock full of places to go, people to see, and things to do. This end-of-the-year sprint to the finish zaps even the heartiest among us. It can be helpful to put it all on paper and create a schedule. Book one day to complete your Christmas shopping and another day just for cooking and baking. This can increase efficiency. And be sure to complete your menus, create shopping lists and to-do lists in advance.</p> <p><strong>Just say no, occasionally</strong> - Be realistic with what you can accomplish in a day. Long lines in shopping malls and sitting in traffic jams can increase your stress and leave you short on time. Be realistic with each day’s list—and give yourself permission to take a few items off your plate. Delegate some things to your spouse or even an older child.</p> <p><strong>Be sure to build in some down time</strong> – Take some time for yourself … every day. We ALL need some down time every day. It doesn’t need to be 2 hours—even a 20 minute walk, or sitting and having a cup of tea and reading a good book for 20-30 minutes can recharge your batteries and refresh your soul!</p> <p><strong>2) Hang on to Your Healthy Habits</strong></p> <p><strong>A little exercise can go a long way</strong> – You’ll feel so much better about indulging in that luscious pumpkin pie or holiday cocktail if you commit to doing something active every day. It’s too easy to skip your daily walk or gym routine. If the weather is bad, try making two brisk circuits around the mall before you do your shopping. Get the family out to the local ice skating rink once a week or find a YMCA or other such location to get in some laps. Exercise helps burn extra calories, helps reduce stress and can help boost your energy!</p> <p><strong>Eat healthy when you can</strong> – Of course you’ll want to sample those seasonal favorites and savor every bite of that holiday meal, but you can also try to be disciplined in filling up with the veggies (with just a smidgen of dip) from the appetizers—and while we’re talking about vegetables, be sure that you eat at least 5 servings of vegetables and/or fruits every day! On non-party days, commit to meals that are based on salads, healthy stir-fry with grilled fish or chicken. This is a great time of year to make a hearty soup full of vegetables and beans. And every morning should start out with a filling Cinch shake—there are a myriad of shake recipes available on<a href="http://vickiekuhn.myshaklee.com"> </a><a href="http://vickiekuhn.myshaklee.com" target="_blank">www.cinchclub.com</a>.</p> <p><strong>Avoid fast foods---period!</strong> – There just isn’t a good reason to visit fast food places but plenty of good reasons to walk the extra block to find a deli that will make you a wonderful sandwich piled high with veggies on a tasty whole-grain bread choice. Your waistline will thank you!</p> <p><strong>Snack strategically</strong> – Working hard to manage your waistline all year, only to let go completely during the holidays, just doesn’t make sense. So, snack wisely! It really isn’t that hard—it just takes a bit of consciousness-raising. At parties, snack on the carrot sticks, broccoli florets and cherry tomatoes before sampling (yes, just sampling) the dessert table. Go light on the dip and sauces—or better yet, skip them and enjoy the fresh veggies and festive skewers on their own. And, if someone drops off cookies at your home, take them into the office and share them!!</p> <p><strong>Get your rest</strong> – Sleep restores the body and revives your spirits, so make sure to get enough of it—and that means 8 hours for you and 9 to 10 hours for your young children. Too little sleep just compounds the holiday stress and energy drain that can occur for so many.</p> <p><strong>Remember to take your supplements--</strong> My <strong>Rx for a Healthier Life™</strong> is a great foundation providing antioxidants, botanicals and probiotics to support your immune system, vitamins and minerals to round out your diet, a fantastic tasting, energizing breakfast to start your day off right and the incomparable cellular anti-aging dietary supplement, Vivix®!*<br /><br />Sending warmest wishes for health and happiness,<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://images.shaklee.com/shaklee/fc/mcmanus200.gif" width="200" height="58" /><br /><strong><em>Dr. Jamie McManus M.D.</em></strong><br /><strong><em>Chairman, Medical Affairs and Health Sciences</em></strong><br /><strong><em>Shaklee Corporation</em></strong></p><p><strong><em><a style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);" href="http://vickiekuhn.myshaklee.com/">To learn more about the Shaklee difference click here!</a></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Shaklee gifts for yourself, your family and your friends.<br /></em></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>Vickie Kuhn, a Shaklee Independent Distributor and Fundraiser Coordinatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955307084338083165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074576766132756848.post-31943214215786112742009-12-05T22:02:00.002-05:002009-12-05T22:10:35.698-05:008 foods that combat fatHere are the last 2 tips to help you combat fat this holiday season.<br /><br />Sweet potatoes are high in fiber (2 bars of soap size = 1 portion) Top with lowfat cottage cheese.<br /><br />Swiss Cheese - calcium rich foods reduce fat producing enzymes & increase fat breakdown.
