Live Longer and Better in 2019

The fountain of youth … something we all want, yes? Staying younger may be easier than you think. With just a few tweaks of your diet and lifestyle, you could live longer and look and feel younger while doing it! 

How? Read on …

1. Stand up

Sounds so simple, but standing, as opposed to sitting, can add years to your life. British researchers determined that every hour of sitting knocks off almost 22 minutes of your life.1 While it may not sound like much, over time it adds up. If you spend an average of six hours a day binge-watching Netflix, you’ll live about five fewer years than someone who’s up and about throughout the day. And, if you sit for prolonged periods, you’ll want to review these lifestyle tips to promote optimal blood flow, including the oh-so-simple habit of adding ENDUR-C® 500mg or ENDUR-C® 1000mg to your daily routine.*

 A few ideas to get you up and moving:

  • Set a timer to go off every half hour and do some leg lifts.
  • Meet friends for a walk instead of coffee.
  • Pace during every phone call.

2. Eat more berries

Berries are rich in antioxidants, which fight the damage free radicals can cause to the skin at a cellular level. Berries are also chock full of vitamin C, which helps produce collagen. Collagen, the most abundant protein in the skin, gives skin strength and structure and maintains its elasticity. In one study, researchers analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and found that women with higher C intake from foods had skin that looked younger.2 (Your daily ENDUR-C® habit helps here too!)

 To get more berries on your plate:

  • Layer fresh or frozen strawberries with low-fat plain yogurt for a berry parfait.
  • Keep dried, unsweetened cranberries in a zip-top bag in your desk drawer for an afternoon snack.
  • Puree fresh or frozen blueberries to add a sweet sauce to chicken or fish.

3. Add strength training to your routine

Walking is great. Walking and doing a strength training routine? Even better. And it may help you live longer. A recent Australian study of over 80,000 adults found that doing both has serious longevity benefits. Those who engaged in both strength training (as little as twice a week) and aerobic exercise routines reduced their risk of death from all causes by almost 30 percent … almost double that for people who only engaged in aerobic exercise.3

Some ideas to get you started on strength training: 

  • Use the machines, which tend to be easier for beginners to manage.
  • Take a class. Exercising in a supervised environment can help insure you’ve got the correct form.
  • Start with two days a week, choosing exercises that work all the muscles in your body.

4. Eat more fatty fish

Cold water, fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and anchovies are some of the richest food sources of key omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA. Supplementing with Omega 3 Phospholipids 500 mg provides dietary insurance to help fill any nutrient gaps. Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids from foods or supplements helps balance the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response, which in turn may help promote joint comfort. So whether you’re lifting bags of groceries out of the car or swinging a 9 iron, you’ll likely feel younger while you’re doing it.*

Omega-3 fatty acids may also play a critical role in memory as we age. Researchers at the University of Illinois report that the proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the blood is linked with the integrity of brain white matter and memory.4

To add more fish into your day:

  • Add canned light tuna into pasta or salads.
  • Swap out a hamburger for a salmon patty.
  • Put some lox on a slice of whole wheat toast in the morning.

5. Stress less

Sometimes life seems like a constant barrage of emails, traffic jams, and noisy neighbors, keeping our adrenaline and cortisol dialed up to 11 round the clock. This can take a toll on our emotional and physical health, and age us before our time.

To turn the stress dial down to a manageable level: 

  • Practice some sort of stress reliever. Whether meditation, yoga, or guided relaxation, do something every day.
  • Keep a journal to pinpoint your biggest stressors. Then focus on eliminating them.
  • Exercise daily. It can be a fantastic stress reliever and help release feel-good endorphins. Here are a few tips to get started

 You may not be able to turn back the clock. But you can feel like it!

ENDUR-C® 500mg Vitamin C with Rose Hips

ENDUR-C® 500mg Vitamin C with Rose Hips

Sustained Release

On Sale from $13.99 Regular price $26.99

With high-potency antioxidant vitamin C, it supports healthy blood vessel and endothelial function, promoting overall vascular health. 

At-a-Glance

  • Supports the body’s antioxidant defenses*
  • Helps maintain optimal blood vessel function*
  • Promotes immune, skin & nerve health*
  • Provides a gradual, measured release of ascorbic acid over 5 to 7 hours 

Product Description

ENDUR-C® 500mg with Rose Hips (Sustained Release) is ideal for adults who want to fortify the body’s antioxidant defenses and promote optimal immune, skin and nerve health. People interested in healthy blood vessel function and optimal blood flow can also experience benefits.*

ENDUR-C® combines high-potency vitamin C with a unique sustained-release tablet delivery, resulting in a slow and steady release of ascorbic acid over 5 to 7 hours. By releasing small amounts of vitamin C at a time as the tablet travels through the intestine, ENDUR-C® allows your body to slowly absorb vitamin C. In this way, it not only helps maintain optimal blood and tissue levels, but avoids excess loss in the urine that is typical of regular forms of high-dose vitamin C.

ENDUR-C® helps minimize digestive upset that some people experience with regular forms of vitamin C.*

ENDUR-C® exerts its antioxidant effect in two ways. Throughout your body, it helps neutralize free radicals that can harm cells, including the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels. These cells play a key role in the ability of blood vessels to relax and promote optimal blood flow. In the blood, it helps recycle and reactivate another antioxidant, vitamin E.*

ENDUR-C® is available in two strengths: 500 mg and 1000 mg.

Features

  • Easy-to-swallow tablets
  • No salt, sugar, starch, preservatives, artificial colors or flavorings
  • Gluten-free
  • Vegan/Vegetarian
  • Free of common allergens (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soy)

Omega-3 Phospholipid 500mg (180 Softgels)

Omega-3 Phospholipid 500mg (180 Softgels)

Immediate Release

On Sale $39.99 Regular price $54.99

Featuring Superba™ krill oil, it helps increase plasma EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acid levels in the blood to promote heart health and cardiovascular function. 

At-a-Glance

  • May reduce coronary heart disease risk**
  • Promotes a healthy inflammatory response*
  • Supports whole body cellular function*

Product Description

Omega-3 Phospholipid 500mg (100% Pure Krill Oil) is ideal for adults interested in both heart health and whole body health.*

Omega-3 Phospholipid features 100% pure Superba™ krill oil, a naturally sourced ingredient with omega-3 fatty acids in the highly bioavailable phospholipid form along with astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that acts as a naturally sourced preservative.*

Superba™ krill oil is clinically shown to increase blood levels of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3 fatty acids are critical for a wide range of biochemical processes involved in heart health, a healthy inflammatory response, immune defense, memory and cognitive function, and cellular health.*

Omega-3 Phospholipid may help reduce coronary heart disease risk.** It supports heart health, in part, by helping to maintain a healthy Omega-3 Index. The Omega-3 Index is an emerging biomarker for heart health and reflects the EPA and DHA content of red blood cell membranes that results from the long-term intake of these omega-3 fatty acids.*

Omega-3 Phospholipid also helps ensure an optimal intake of omega-3 fatty acids critical for cell membranes to take in nutrients, expel waste products, and activate cell signaling pathways. Omega-3 fatty acids also serve as building blocks for bioactive compounds that promote a healthy inflammatory response. Inside cells, omega-3 fatty acids play a role in numerous biological pathways involved in immune defense, lipid balance and other functions.*

 

Superba™ is a trademark of the Aker Group.

**Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving of Omega-3 Phospholipid provides 0.176 grams of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.

Features

  • Easy-to-swallow softgels
  • Gluten-free
  • Free of common allergens (milk, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soy). Contains shellfish
  • Derived exclusively from sustainably harvested Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), 100% traceable from sea to shelf

Frequently Asked Questions

What can you expect?

Omega-3 Phospholipid is a unique dietary supplement for men and women to support whole body health, especially heart health.* 

How does it work?

When taken as directed, Omega-3 Phospholipid helps increase blood levels of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.

How do you take it?

As a dietary supplement for adults, take two (2) softgels twice daily with a meal or snack, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Are there any precautions?

Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you have or suspect a medical condition, are taking any medications, or are pregnant or nursing. As with all dietary supplements, keep out of reach of children.
