Your diet includes food additives and artificial sweeteners?
Sulfites can cause headaches, nitrates cause cancer, some colorings cause attention problems, aspartame can cause migraines, nerve damage, and cancer, saccharine causes’ cancer, MSG causes nerve death, sulfur dioxide can cause breathing difficulties, and the list goes on and on. Start reading labels and try eating organically!

You overeat?
The #1 killer in America is heart disease. This is completely preventable. About 70% of US adults are either overweight or obese. Eat less calorie dense foods, like fruits and vegetables and cut back on processed foods.

You smoke?
450,000 Americans die each year from smoking. 1 person dies for every 3,000,000 cigarettes smoked, and it is estimated that 1 BILLION people will die worldwide from smoking in the 21st century. Give it up or just don’t start.

You don’t exercise?
Keep your heart and lungs healthy with regular cardiovascular exercise. Decreasing your resting heart rate by just 10 beats per minute equates to 14,400 beats per day, or 5,256,000 beats per year!

Your life is full of stress?
Can stress affect us physically? When we are stressed, our heart rate and blood pressure increase and our digestive function slows down or stops altogether.

You take prescription drugs?
All drugs kill – pushed or prescribed! As estimated by the AMA, PROPERLY PRESCRIBED Medication kills up to 137,000 Americans every year! Medication does not cure or heal. It just acts to cover a symptom of malfunction in the body. Symptoms are healthy signs that something is broken in the body. Why cover it up? You wouldn’t cover the engine light on your car with a piece of tape. Just fix the problem?

The point is can you truly be healthy if you engage in any of the above activities? In my medical opinion, “No you cannot be truly healthy if you engage in any of the above activities”. If you are engaged in any or all of the activities mentioned than chances are you are probably overweight or obese.

The patients, who I see in my medical practice, who have the most complications, are almost always overweight or obese. The complications that come with being overweight or obese can be and are not, limited to: Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Certain Cancers, High Cholesterol, and the list goes on and on. This all adds up to higher medical costs and an extended treatment plan.

The evidence is clear about being overweight or obese, if you are, than it is time to lose the weight and to accomplish this you must look to change your lifestyle. The Ultra International Wellness Program is designed to start you down the path to greater health & wellness. The Mind super drink, the Body meal replacement and the Soul super food when taken together will provide your body the essential elements necessary to start finding improved levels of wellness. Working toward the proper weight and consuming the proper level of anti-oxidants, fruits, vegetables, vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients can’t guarantee you good health, but it certainly could help!

The primary focus of any Wellness plan has to be proper weight management and it has to be done in such a manner that all nutritional requirements are being satisfied. Ultra International has done just that, a Wellness system that not only focuses around Weight Loss, but incorporates a nutritional foundation second to none.

God gave you a great machine known as your body. Please take care of it and make your decisions wisely. You only live once, and at some point, you won't be able to get your health back. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Please take the time to learn about these products at http://www.myui.com/lscg and how the first step to true Wellness begins with proper Weight Control, Nutrition and Exercise. You can get your life back!
Mind, Body & Soul,
Think it, Feel it, Live it!
