What's all this fuss about Greens?

Did you know that most people’s bodies are acidic, making them a feeding ground for sickness and disease? Foods that are high in sugar and high in fat—such as that fast food meal you had for lunch the other day, that handful of chips, or sugary treat from your last late-night craving—lead to an acidic body. Stress, pollutants in the air we breathe and the water we drink, along with other environmental factors also contribute to acidity.

Make it a goal to keep your body in a pH-balanced state. In order to combat acidity, your body needs to become more alkaline—and that’s exactly what Greens helps with.

Greens is designed to help balance the pH of your body and detoxify with its all natural, whole food ingredients. As Dr. Don VerHulst, It Works’ Health Consultant, puts it, “Greens will create your body as a garden of health.” And who doesn’t want that?


As you can see from the chatter on Facebook, everyone agrees that they can’t go a day without their Greens. What they don’t agree on, is how to take them! And that’s the fun part: You can take it straight, mix it with water, stir it in with some juice, or our personal favorite, blend it up into a Strawberry Greens Smoothie!


Try it for yourself using the recipe below, or come up with your own signature Greens drink! It doesn’t matter how you take it, as long as you take it every day for a more healthy, balanced, detoxified you. Bottoms up!

Do you have a Post-Baby body plan?

After nine long months of your tummy stretched out like a piece of elastic, new mommies begin to wonder if all that loose skin will ever snap itself back into place. But hitting the gym for hours of ab workouts is the last thing on your mind once you’ve brought little baby home from the hospital.Just because you don’t have a huge movie premiere to attend or a world-famous fashion show to walk in doesn’t mean that you don’t want your pre-baby body back—and fast! Like so many new moms out there, Krystle Henderson, of Roseville, California worried that she would never get her flat, toned tummy back after giving birth. That is, until she discovered the Ultimate Body Applicator, from It Works! Global.


“I thought I would never be the same after having three huge babies,” Krystle explained, “I never had problems losing my baby weight, but my skin was so loose after having three large babies. I haven’t worn a two-piece in 6+ years, since my first son was born, but I will be rocking one this summer! The Ultimate Body Applicator (and It Works) has transformed my body! What a miracle product!" Bikini after baby? Absolutely! Check out Krystle’s fantastic results below!


The Ultimate Body Applicator is a non-woven cloth wrap that has been infused with a powerful, botanically-based formula to deliver maximum tightening, toning, and firming results where applied to the skin. With its naturally based, continuous hydration technology, the Ultimate Body Applicator helps you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin and helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and skin slackening.


With the Ultimate Body Applicator, you’ll see results in as little as 45 minutes, plus progressive results for up to 72 hours after the initial application. If your ready to take the jiggle out of the jelly belly that your little bundle of joy left you with, then give it a try!

Are you making this mistake?

The new year always seems like the perfect time to create a new you—but is it really effective?According to research conducted by Richard Wiseman, Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in England, new year’s resolutions are an abysmal failure for most. In his case study, a test group of 3,000 individuals embarked into the new year, determined to follow their resolutions, yet a mere 12 percent were actually able to claim success one year later. What’s more discouraging? Most participants failed within the first two weeks of the new year.

Incidentally, it has been just over two weeks since glimmering balls dropped ‘round the world and we each shot our aspirations for 2012 to the sky. Are you still going strong? If so, great! But if you’re already disqualified from the elite 12 percent, no worries; it’s actually not that surprising, given the manner in which we typically approach new year’s resolutions.


Some studies suggest that we try to do too much at once with our new year’s resolutions—quit smoking, exercise more, eat vegetables, count calories, limit carbs, give up sweets, read more, watch less television, take on interesting new hobbies…Sound overwhelming? That’s because it is, quite literally, a prefrontal cortex overload.


Recent neuroscience studies from Stanford University suggest that, just like any other muscle, the brain—specifically, the prefrontal cortex, the area thought to be responsible for focus and discipline—can also become fatigued when faced with what Professor Baba Shiv calls “cognitive load.”1


Have you ever come home from an especially busy day at work and found it difficult to resist that comfort food calling your name? Case in point. This particular Stanford case study showed that “all it takes is five extra bits of information before the brain starts to give in to temptation.”1 You think too much; therefore, you eat.



The brain is an amazing organ and can handle vast amounts of information, if given in the proper dosage. The bottom line? Simplicity is the true key to success when it comes to reaching our weight loss goals for the new year.






All you need to get started is our Products, our Coach and our FITworks Community! The FITworks Community is packed full of the amazing It Works meal plans you’ll need to see those life-changing results in the coming weeks.

A New You

As the old saying goes, “You’re only as old as you feel.” While you may be able to retain your youthful spirit over the years, for many of us, keeping our bodies looking and feeling young is much more challenging.


Fortunately, It Works has a naturally based solution to help you revive your youthful vigor! With New You™, our exclusive body regenerating dietary supplement, you can experience a sharper memory, improved sleep quality, faster workout recovery, and even a heightened ability to build lean muscle mass.
 
Made up of a proprietary blend of natural ingredients, the New You™ body regenerating formula contains natural ingredients that enhance the production and release of human growth hormone—the body’s own secret weapon against signs of aging.

Human growth hormone (HGH) is a natural hormone produced by and secreted from the pituitary gland in the brain. This particular hormone enhances tissue growth and stimulates cell reproduction. Our bodies’ HGH production levels are highest when we are in our early twenties, but decrease by up to 80% by the time we have reached 60. Significantly, this decrease in our bodies’ HGH levels is closely related to the physical and mental symptoms of aging.


Don VerHulst, M.D., health consultant for It Works says, “When we increase the HGH levels produced and released by the pituitary gland, the systems of your body can work better. That means better sleeping patterns, and memory can improve … Think of all the things that you had going on in your body when you were in your late teens. That’s what New You is designed to help your body do—turn back the hands of time by offering a natural way for your body to go back to a more youthful state.”



New You™ feeds the pituitary gland the nutrients that it needs to both produce and release more human growth hormone that will help slow the hands of time, helping you gain more lean muscle mass (the kind of muscle that help you burn more calories), experience greater exercise endurance and recovery, as well as feel the refreshing effects of better sleep and memory.


Quite simply: No. The safe, naturally based New You™ body regenerating formula simply helps enhance the body’s natural ability to produce and release its own human growth hormone.

New You™ is appropriate for women and men in their mid-twenties or older. Because human growth hormone is highest when we are in our late teens, individuals as young as in their mid-twenties can experience noticeable results from New You™. Since human growth hormone decreases as we age—by up to 80% by the time we turn 60—older individuals are likely to experience the most dramatic results from New You™.



Our Director of Marketing, Pam Sowder, noticed a difference right away: “I started noticing an increase in lean muscle mass, and was even getting cuts in my arms, which I’ve never had before!” It’s time to be out with the old, and in with the new—New You! It’s you, only better.

Nix the Needles

Did you know that, according to a survey published in the January 2011 issue of Allure magazine, 64% of women would rather take a 10% pay cut than look 10 years older? We’re living in the era of high definition, where our women are expected to stay forever young.
Plastic surgery to lift-and-tuck away face wrinkles has become the norm, even outside of Hollywood. And, while we’ve all heard by now about the dangerous side-effects of poison-based injections, BOTOX® continues its reign as the top-ranking non-surgical procedure for both men and women with 4.8 million procedures performed in 2009—at an average price of $397 (USD) per treatment!
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to maintain that youthful glow, smooth complexion, and luminous skin, but here at It Works! Global, needles, lasers, knives, and scalpels aren’t really our style. In fact, we believe in enhancing your natural beauty, with all natural active ingredients that are actually good for your skin!
Turn back the hands of time on your laugh lines with RepairAge, part of our signature line of anti-aging skin care products. This botanically based formula works to repair signs of aging, providing a lifted, smoother, more youthful appearance. Why not try the safer way to a smoother, softer, and brighter face? With results like this, you’ll have people wondering who your doctor is!
With the unique formulation of herbal extracts in the RepairAge anti-aging moisturizer, you can achieve the youthful appearance of:

Stages of Stress

Which One Are You In and How Can You Get Out? 


Whether it's the upcoming summer activities for your kids, tax season, or everyday work worries ailing you, springtime is stress season.  And that can mean trouble for your health.

Stress can cause a host of immediate physical symptoms, everything from headaches and indigestion to fatigue and weight gain.  Stress is also the number one enemy of your immune system and can leave you more vulnerable to colds, flu and even more serious conditions--yes, you can worry yourself to death!  For most of us, stress is an unavoidable part of our daily routines; however, learning to manage your stress load is critical to your mental and physical wellbeing.  So how can your prevail over the pressures in your life?  First, you must learn to recognize the stages of stress.

Many people do not know how to recognize signs of stress until it is already at a stage where it is taking a physiological toll on your body and possibly affecting your health.  Fortunately, you can track your stress levels by familiarizing yourself with the signs of stress cycles.  Knowing when you are in a productive state and when you need to take a few minutes to relax is key to keeping your stress levels under control, and some of the signals may be surprising.

LEVEL I

Level I is the body's first signal that it needs a break, and it manifests through subtle signals.  You start to get fidgety, wanting to stretch and move; you start yawning and sighing, or wanting a snack.  You may also notice an inability to concentrate as well as before and find yourself searching for words or taking a few extra seconds to recall familiar facts.

These signs are so subtle that many people are not aware that they are the body's first way of signaling that you are experiencing stress.  Driven by the demands of the moment, we often ignore level I signals and push on in our activities, unaware that we have given our brain the clear message that external needs are more important than keeping our bodies functioning smoothly.  We have turned on the stress response system and put ourselves into a stress cycle.

LEVEL II  

The second stress level is deceptive in that it does not feel at all like stress.  In level II, we experience a surge of endorphins that make us feel good, energized, and highly alert.  We experience renewed energy, our "second wind," even though we are actually in a state of stress.  This is the body's natural stress response system.  It reacts to signs of stress by releasing energizing chemicals into the body.  The problem is that many of us allow our bodies to repeat this cycle several times throughout the day, depleting resources and impairing normal physiological functions.

LEVEL III

Although you may feel invigorated during level III of the stress cycle, your body is running out of steam.  You have ignored your body's signals to replenish essential resources and begin to notice more obvious signs of stress than those in level I:  Your memory, performance, and critical thinking falters; you begin to feel physically and mentally fatigued, making errors in judgment and experiencing moodiness, clumsiness, and forgetfulness.  Losing your sharpness is a sure sign of level III stress.  We all know these symptoms; but we often fail to realize that they are caused by ignoring earlier signs of stress.

LEVEL IV

 Level IV stress is the danger zone we enter after being continually in a state of level III stress. The body becomes overwhelmed, and reacts chemically with a flood of powerful, damaging stress chemicals.  The effects of poorly functioning systems take their toll on our overall health.  Beyond physical and mental exhaustion, symptoms progress to more serious stress-related disorders including insomnia, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, immune system dysfunction, depression, anxiety, breakdown and a shortened lifespan.

How can you beat stress before it beats you?
The simplest way is to set aside time to relax when you notice you are entering into a stress cycle (at level I, ideally), so that you avoid the body's progression into higher levels of stress.  Studies have shown that when the body is in a relaxed state, all the physiological events associated with stress are actually reversed:  Your breathing and heart rate slow, your blood pressure falls, and muscles relax.  As little as 20 minutes of relaxation once or twice per day can create significant benefits by neutralizing the effects of stress on your body.  Make sure you set aside time for some peace and quiet, exercise, and relaxed, nutritious meals.

Has stress made a mess of your life?
Here are five easy ways to bring your mental and physical health back into focus.

Eat well. Chemical additives, unhealthy fats and sugar stress you out on a nutritional level. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables, 100% whole grains, lean meats and healthy fats, including nuts and seeds.

Drink water. Soda pop, sugary juice drinks, teas and “power” drinks with artificial sweeteners and synthetic vitamins barely hydrate you, let alone provide any true value. Drink eight to ten glasses of
filtered water each day instead.
Exercise. Regular exercise not only relieves stress, it also releases feel-good hormones and increases your energy level.

Relax. Set aside time for daily prayer, meditation, or reflection. Learn the simple art of deep breathing. Take time to have some fun with friends and family. Schedule a monthly massage.

Supplement. Include It’s Vital™ advanced formula multivitamin, mineral, and antioxidant supplement as a general basis for good health.  Another great product from It Works is Confianza™, which specifically helps your body deal with the stresses of everyday life.

Confianza™
The proprietary formula in Confianza™ is a blend of herbs that have adaptogenic properties―that is, they actually help your body's natural ability to respond and react to stress and fatigue.  
The herbs in Confianza’s formulation also can help enhance your short- and long-term memory and increase your attention span.  This helps you avoid stress.  When your mind is on point, the details of your daily life fall into place with more ease.  How many times have you been wracked by stress because you simply lost your keys or cell phone?
Another plus: Confianza™ can increase your physical endurance and enhance muscle recovery after exercise so that you have the energy you need to keep your exercise commitment and the muscle recovery that gives you incentive to exercise again tomorrow.
