When I saw the commercial, it triggered a memory of my grandmother.  Her favorite saying was “You are what you eat.”  When I was little, she applied this phrase when she was cooking, tending her garden or on the occasion when she scorned me for over indulging myself with foods she deemed unhealthy.

Of course, as a child, I perceived these constant reminders as harping and, after 60 years, I can still hear her admonitions.  Even today, each time I consider an indiscretion, I hear her voice asking me “Do you really think that’s a good idea?”

Did you have a Grandmother like mine?

I’m grateful for mine.  She didn’t care for white bread.  She would tell me:  “The whiter the bread, the shorter your life.” Even though we milked cows, she insisted we moderate eating cheese, butter and drinking milk to keep our lungs clear.  When I was a teenager, she attributed any complexion issues to “too much milk.”  She insisted that sugar would rot my teeth.   Kids, who were heavy, which was rare, are “eating too many sweets and drinking too much milk”, according to Grandmother.  Usually, she would finish this observation with “… that mother should know better!”

Grandmother spoke with a voice from the 1920’s.

She was versed in growing, selecting and preparing fresh food.  She was very careful to avoid accidents when working, a real stickler about sanitation and fluent in the ways of self-care, because Physicians were a long way away and expensive.  She practiced and taught me the virtues of healthy life style choices:  healthy diet, physical work and play, rest and sleep; that served her well into old age, and now me, for the past 50 years.

How Times Have Changed

Take out, fast food and microwaved manufactured food is today’s bill of fare.  Gyms and organized recreation are substituting physical work and play. Energy drinks wake people up in the morning and sleeping pills put them to sleep at night.  Physicians are readily accessible with insurance companies paying the bills.

Researchers are warning that “the 50 somethings” will suffer longer and die sooner than their parents – their children more so.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Perhaps the science fiction Novelists, who believe, “If we can send a man to the moon … .”,  have it right – or not.

The NUPRO personnel are busy planning their family time, but before we started, we finished the training outline for our affiliated Natural Health Consultants (NHC).

By way of background: NUPRO was conceived and organized, almost 20 years ago, to offer nutraceutical supplements (combinations of natural ingredients, one complementing another, that historical use and/or scientific evidence has shown to be beneficial for human wellness) as an alternative to single ingredient supplements and “miracle pill” claims that disappoint so many people.

Since then, we have progressed to include natural nutraceutical systems (combinations of nutraceutical supplements that complement one another to expedite the health objective). 

The NUPRO nutraceutical supplements and systems have become the cornerstone of professional tactics and strategies to help people promote and maintain health and healing.  The systems, developed in practice, augment the outcome and experience of natural health and healing.

I thought you might enjoy reading the training paper.  It is a concise, practical approach for maintaining and promoting healing – naturally.

Rather than posting the paper at Americanutra.com, we elected to provide you a link to the Natrual Health Consultant Library at the NUPRO Corporate site.  The paper‘s title is:  How to Become the Master of Your Health.   Your link to How to Become Master of Your Health is here.

We hope you enjoy reading it and that you keep it in your favorites for future reference. 

Americanutra reaches many people around the world, with many different beliefs and holidays, if you celebrate Christmas, we would like to extend our tidings for a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year.

 

This month, the NUPRO newsletter includes a insider discount that, for a very limited time, extends a 40% on all NUPRO products.  I thought you might enjoy using a selection of NUPRO products, especially when you can purchase them at wholesale prices.

There is a link, in the newletter, that carries you to the FDA site for a notification about Vitamin D that you might find interesting. 

I hope you enjoy your peak at the NUPRO newletter.  It is a bit different than our blog, so you might want to include it.  If you want, you can request you personal copy here.

We celebrate a holiday, Thanksgiving, in the US.  This year, the holiday lands on Thursday, so it is a short week and we are planning a family get together and an extended weekend.

Forgive the brevity of this post.  I hope the newsletter and the insider discount makes up for it.

 

 We have thoroughly enjoyed your comments and we are especially heartened by all of the new visitors and the professionals who are following our blog.  Watching the self-care message and the principals of complimentary medicine take hold is … well, wonderful.

 Last year, we shared, for the most part, our discoveries concerning weight management.  Long time readers recognize that many of our blog entries are excerpts from internal R & D efforts.

 Those revelations included the 5 components of healthy weight loss:  daytime metabolism, nighttime metabolism, weight loss nutrition, nutritional cofactors for weight loss and regularity. 

 The fruit of our labors are 5 unique nutraceutical products, combined into 4 weight loss systems that provide users fast, effective weight loss.

 We support these natural products with a comprehensive collection of resources to help the user succeed with their weight loss objective – lose weight and keep it off.  You can view the products of our efforts at thinrite.net .

 This year we have a full plate.

 We are beginning our investigations into Adrenal Burnout.  We have just begun to unravel the facts surrounding the role of the HPA Axis (Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Adrenal).  So far, we have uncovered a significant amount of internationally generated information dating back to the mid-sixties.  Stay tuned!  It will be an interesting, and possibly rewarding, investigation.

 We are also considering examining the nutritional needs of the brain.  Certainly, there is ample information available, but much of it seems to be at the micro level – espousing particular “silver bullets” for the brain.  We feel there might be more to the issue than essential fatty acids, co-enzymes and antioxidants.  We shall see.

 Of course, there are the continuing issues of digestion, regularity, human parasites, menopause, andropause, joints, stress and pain.  While we are confident in our supplements that address these issues, new information may surface.  Rest assured that we are watchful.

 In the meantime, we have prepared a link regarding the stages of declining health and the steps to consider if you choose to reverse that state.  As always, your input is appreciated.  Please feel free to add your 2 cents worth.  The needs of our clients have taken us to some remarkable places in the past and will do so in the future.

 The New Year is upon us.  We want to take this opportunity to wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

 

… A Blog About Nutrition, Health, Digestion & Nutraceutical Products

We have a passion for health and nutrition.  That is why we started NuPro in 1994 to become a pioneer in the field of nutraceutical supplements and products.  We love what we do, and we’ve started this blog to show off our expertise in the field, discuss industry news, review products, and connect with you the reader about the things that matter most to you.

To get introduced to us and our philosophy, read below about the 4 Simple Truths to Health And Healing:

Truth 1: Keep your Body as Clean on the Inside as the Outside.
Imagine what you would look and smell like if you hadn’t showered for years. Thankfully, most people practice good hygiene.  But, did you know you have 10,000 square feet on the inside of your body and only nine square feet of skin to take care of on the outside? That is a tennis court worth of skin.  Keeping the inside of your body as clean as you keep the outside is the foundation of health.

Truth 2: Disease is an Abnormal Condition
Disease is characterized by a gradual degeneration of the body’s ability to maintain normal function.  Poor diet, environmental toxins, internal poisons, constipation, accumulating wastes and parasites contribute to the degeneration from the body’s preferred state – healthy.

Truth 3: Healthy Digestion Maintains a Healthy Body
Trouble starts with a little heartburn. Then, you can’t eat the same stuff you used to eat. The bathroom becomes an adventure of constipation and diarrhea.  And, that is the high point. It gets worse from here on out. 8 out of 10 people are dealing with digestion issues. That path is the road to ruin.

Truth 4: The Body Heals Itself
Each and every night, while you sleep, your body replaces 300 billion cells that have worn out or been damaged by life.  That nightly activity means your body replaces the 750 trillion cells that make up your entire body every seven years. Given enough time and the right nutrition anything is possible.
