Optimal nutrition
sets Herbalife products apart from all the other programmes. And
this approach to nutrition is based on the time-honoured principle of
balance.
By making use of
three major technologies
many of Herbalife's products work synergistically
with each other to help you increase the absorption of the nutrients
in your food and as a result improve your performance.

5 Stages to Improved Results
|
Stage 1
|
FUELLING
Thirty minutes before working out use
Formula 1 in diluted fruit
juice. It provides immediate fuel (carbohydrates) and helps spare the
stored fuel in muscles (muscle glycogen). With your order we send you
recommended usage info, which depends on the intensity of the exercise
ie light/medium/heavy.
|
|
Stage 2 |
HYDRATING
During training, competition and your workout, drink
fluid – at least every 15 minutes.
Every adult should be drinking at least 2 litres of pure water, still
NOT sparkling, every single day. Whilst exercising we must replenish
those stocks with even more water. Fizzy and carbonated drinks do not
allow the cells of our body to absorb nutrients correctly and can
easily upset our body’s delicate infrastructure.
Suggestions:
-
Dehydration is one the biggest problems in sport.
Enjoy
Thermojetics Instant Herbal Beverage*
as often as desired.(* contains caffeine) or
-
Exercising for more than 30 mins - Consume water with
a weak solution of
Formula 1
More easily absorbed by the body than everyday foods. Keep the fuel
tanks topped up.
|
|
Stage 3
|
REFUELLING
Within the first 30 minutes of your workout, drink
Formula 1
mixed in juice. Don't miss the WINDOW! This simply means that we have
a "30 MINUTE WINDOW when our fuel tanks-our muscles-are most receptive
towards being refilled. |
|
Stage 4 |
REPAIRING
You've trained and you now need to repair the muscle
fibres with protein. Adequate, high quality protein assists muscle
cells in repairing themselves. 90 -120 mins after exercise after
Drink Formula
1 mixed in a protein-rich beverage (cow’s
milk, soy milk or yogurt) or eat a
Thermojetics Protein Bar. For added protein, add
Protein Supplement powder to a Formula
1 shake. |
|
Stage 5 |
RECOVERY
You breathe in more oxygen than the average person and
therefore you generate more free radicals. Take Herbalife
antioxidant products
Schizandra Plus
(breathing). The Schizandra plant helps to support the body's ability
to use oxygen. The antioxidant ingredients can assist in sports
recovery time and help fight sports-induced free radicals. Antioxidant
properties protect against muscle cell damage by neutralising free
radicals. Antioxidants to help to reduce muscle cell damage by
removing lactic acid from muscles more quickly and neutralising free
radicals. Benefits are reduced recovery times (average person
takes 48-72 hrs to recover from exercise!!), and an increased
immune system. Excessive free radical activity
prematurely ages the body, so as an athlete ensure that you are
getting enough antioxidants in your diet. Add
Herbalifeline
for supple joints. |
