Niteworks® and Nitric Oxide Q&A

Dr. Louis Ignarro answers a few of your questions about Niteworks Supplement→ and Nitric Oxide.

 Q: What is the easiest way to teach customers about Nitric Oxide (NO)?
A: Think about how difficult it is to blow up a balloon on the first try. Now imagine how much easier it would be if you stretched it out first to make it more flexible. Like stretching a balloon, Nitric Oxide makes arteries and veins more flexible–supporting improved blood flow and delivery of nutrients to your cells. NO supports your long-term cardiovascular health.*

 Q: Does Niteworks®supplement→ contain sugar? My clients on sugar-restricted diets are concerned.
A: Niteworks powder→ does not contain sugar. It contains sucralose, which is a nonnutritive sweetener derived from sugar, but is safe for people who need to control their sugar intake.

 Q: When should I take Niteworks Supplement→?
A: I suggest that you take Niteworks→ before you go to bed at night. It’s designed to be consumed at night, when your body produces the least amount of Nitric Oxide from exercise and food. However, it is okay to take Niteworks® in the morning, mixed with your juice, for example. I do this myself and I find that it gives me an extra lift during the day and more overall energy.

The Facts on Fats

Though you may have been taught the opposite, fat can actually be good for you. In fact, there are healthy fats and unhealthy fats–and knowing the difference is essential to your health.  Below is an easy-to-use guide that will help you understand the differences between fats.
 
UNSATURATED FATS (Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated)
 
Monounsaturated Fats Monounsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature but firm up when cooled in the refrigerator. They are generally considered healthier fats and are found mainly in plant sources such as nuts and avocados, as well as olive, peanut and canola oils. Like all fats, monosaturated fats are high in calories. If you increase the amount of monosaturated fats in your diet, be mindful of your overall intake in order to manage your weight.

Polyunsaturated Fats  Polyunsaturated fats can be either liquid or soft at room temperature, and are found in plant oils such as safflower, sunflower, corn, flaxseed and canola oils, as well as in seafood. Polyunsaturated fats include the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. In addition to providing energy, EFAs are part of the structure of every cell in our bodies. We need EFAs to achieve & maintain a healthy heart; they are also essential for the healthy function of the brain, eyes, skin, joints, hair and the immune system. To supplement your intake of health-promoting Omega-3, try Herbalife's Herbalifeline Supplement→. Keep in mind that polyunsaturated fats are also high in calories. If you increase the amount of polyunsaturated fats in your diet, be mindful of your overall intake in order to manage your weight.

SATURATED FATS
 
Saturated fat is solid at room temperature and is most often found in animal food products including milk, eggs, meat and butter. Some plant products like palm, coconut and palm kernel oil are also saturated. Saturated fats are not inherently unhealthy, but an excess of these fats in the diet raises cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.
 
TRANS FATS
Trans fats are chemically engineered, with a metal catalyst like nickel, at very high temperatures. Although some may look liquid, they maintain their structure for long periods of time (which is why fast food chains can fry food in the same oil all day long). The FDA suggests regulating your trans fat intake and to replace them with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats whenever possible. New label laws require companies to list amounts of trans fats on their product labels.
 
Quick tips from the doctor:

• Increase the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
• Limit your intake of saturated fats.
• Regulate your intake of Trans Fats and make sure to read labels.

Bone Health: The Hard Truth About Brittle Bones

There’s plenty you can do to build healthy bones and maintain them as you age.

Our bones fight a never-ending battle against the causes of osteoporosis. Here are some tips for building healthy bone mass from childhood to adulthood.

Our bones fight a never-ending battle against the effects of hormone changes and general dietary and lifestyle factors–leaving both men and women with an increased risk of osteoporosis.

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that affects over 25 million Americans each year. Almost 80% of osteoporosis is found in women, although a growing number of older men are also at risk.

 Healthy bones begin with childhood
Fortunately, there’s plenty you can do to build healthy bones and maintain them as you age. Children should eat three to four servings of calcium-enriched foods every day to build healthy bones. As an adult, it’s best to add a calcium supplement to your diet. Xtra-Cal® Supplement→ is packed with calcium, in addition to Vitamins C and D, which helps absorb essential calcium.*

Soy also appears to benefit bones, replacing calcium-depleting animal protein in the diet and providing a great source of bone-building isoflavones. Our Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, Protein Bars→, Formula 3 Personalised Protein Powder→, and Soybeans with low sodium salt→ are great sources of soy protein–making soy both “heart smart” and “bone smart!”

 Making bone health a priority
Take control of your diet, increase your activity and curb such lifestyle habits as alcohol or smoking. With regular effort, you’ll give yourself the very best chance of having healthy bones–no bones about it!

How can you look and feel as young as you can? By making your health and well-being a top priority. Here are 7 steps to healthy aging.

Remember what your parents looked like when they were your age? Looking back, they seemed so much older. And in many ways, they were. Average life expectancy is currently on the rise, which means that men and women approaching age 50 don’t look and feel like the stereotyped middle-age person of the 1950s.

So how can you look and feel as young as you can? By making your health and well-being a top priority. Use the following Herbalife products to help you improve your overall health and well-being while making you feel younger as you get older.

7 Steps to Healthy Aging

1. Build a solid foundation for good health with our Cellular Nutrition products, including Formulas 1 Healthy Diet Shakes→, Formula 2 Multi Vitamin Powder→ and Formula 3 Protein Powder→.
   
2. Use Herbalifeline, rich in Omega 3 essential fatty acids→, to help support a healthy cardiovascular system.*

Heart Health

Q: What is Alpha Lipoic Acid and how does it support the heart?
A: Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), an ingredient in Niteworks Supplement→, is a potent antioxidant first discovered in the 1950s and later recognized in 1988 for a variety of health-promoting activities. ALA works in the mitochondria, the body’s energy-producing cells, where it has been shown to protect the DNA from damage. Many antioxidants, like Vitamin C, work well in areas of the body where there is water, while others, like Vitamin E, work well in areas of fat. ALA has the unique capability to work in both water and fat, and, moreover, helps to recycle our natural Vitamins C and E. In the heart, ALA helps protect the cardiovascular system from free radical damage.

Q: If Nitric Oxide is a gas, why does Niteworks® come in powder form?
A: Herbalife developed Niteworks Supplement→ with Dr. Lou Ignarro, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Dr. Ignarro’s research showed that Nitric Oxide helps to keep blood vessels toned, flexible and youthful for improved circulation.* His research further showed that Nitric Oxide enhances blood flow, supporting function of the heart, brain and other organs.* His additional research has shown that the combination of two amino acids, L-Arginine and L-Citrulline, helps to support Nitric Oxide production in the body. Herbalife developed Niteworks→ as a powder with these two amino acids. This product also contains Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin E for antioxidant protection.*

Heart Health 2

Q: Why is it important to start taking heart health supplements now?
A: Don’t wait. The best way to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system is to start now, before you have developed risk factors for heart disease. Along with a low-fat diet and exercise, the active ingredients in Niteworks→, Herbalifeline→, help to maintain key heart health indicators already within a normal range.* It is wise to consider a heart health program today.

Foods containing at least 0.65 gram per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily intake of at least 1.3 grams, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.

To Your Heart Health

Your cardiovascular system is the driving force behind Cellular Nutrition.  Over 100,000 miles in length and equipped with nearly six-trillion endothelial cells, your blood vessels produce the Nitric Oxide that supports Cellular Nutrition.  Endothelial-derived Nitric Oxide functions in many important ways to support the cardiovascular and circulatory system. Endothelial damage, from a poor diet, obesity and lack of exercise, results in deficient Nitric-Oxide production and, therefore, increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Fortunately, there are easy ways to make your endothelium healthy by adjusting your diet, engaging in moderate exercise and taking Niteworks→.

How does Nitric Oxide work?

Nitric Oxide, also known as NO, is the body’s most widespread signaling molecule. NO promotes Cellular Nutrition by facilitating blood flow to every cell in the body. Because NO expands the diameter of the arteries, more nutrients are delivered to the cells and more waste products are removed from the cells. Nitric Oxide provides Cellular Nutrition to all organs of the body and also protects these organs against injury and disease caused by exposure to oxidants, a condition known as “oxidative stress.” NO is the body’s most potent antioxidant, protecting cells against free radical damage. In this regard, NO functions just like Vitamins E and C.

NO deficiency and Endothelial Dysfunction cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and untimely death in the U.S. and is sometimes associated with NO deficiency. The diseases resulting from NO deficiency include hypertension, stroke, atherosclerosis, heart attacks, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, gastrointestinal ulcers and erectile dysfunction. A healthy vascular endothelium is essential to a healthy cardiovascular system because it is required for normal NO production and action. Vascular-endothelial dysfunction leads to decreased NO production and increased oxidative stress, creating a vicious cycle that promotes further endothelial dysfunction.

Diet improves heart health

Another way to keep your endothelium healthy is through diet. A sensible diet that is low in fats and carbohydrates, but rich in proteins, will go a long way in promoting cardiovascular health. Decreased fat intake greatly reduces the body’s production of destructive free radicals and decreased dietary carbohydrates limit the intake of calories. Eating a high-protein diet maintains muscle mass and energy levels. The combination of high protein plus low carbohydrates and fats can result in substantial weight loss, which further promotes a healthy cardiovascular system.

A winning combination

The three lifestyle changes outlined–mild to moderate exercise, a high-protein diet and Niteworks→–have something in common: they all play a role in enhancing the production and action of endothelium-derived Nitric Oxide. For this reason, exercise, diet and Niteworks→ are a winning combination for maintaining and improving your endothelial health–and a healthy endothelium means a healthy heart. When you combine their results, you can easily see how your overall health and general well-being can improve.

Q&A with Dr. Ignarro

NOTE: Niteworks® dietary supplement from Herbalife is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The opinions expressed in the book are those of Dr. Ignarro and are not endorsed by Herbalife. As an Independent Herbalife Distributor, you may not promote Niteworks® dietary supplement citing any disease risk reduction claims appearing in this educational reference. Herbalife created the unique Niteworks® dietary supplement formula with the exact combination of L-arginine and L-citrulline that generates heart-healthy Nitric Oxide–essential for one’s cardiovascular system.

Q: Can you explain how L-citrulline and L-taurine fit into the Niteworks formula→?
A: L-citrulline is of critical importance because of its synergistic role with L-arginine in the production of Nitric Oxide, or NO. L-citrulline is actually a by-product in the production of NO and is recycled by the body to make more L-arginine to form NO. This “recycling” action is further enhanced because L-citrulline and L-arginine reach cells by different paths, resulting in broader support for NO production. L-taurine has been shown to strengthen the heart muscle, and as an antioxidant, it protects NO during its brief lifetime.*

Q: Can you tell us a little about your continuing research on Nitric Oxide?
A: I continue to focus my research on the benefits of Nitric Oxide in several different areas of health. While cardiovascular health and function continues to be a primary area of focus, I am also seeking to understand the critical relationship between NO and antioxidant activity in the body. In addition, I am working to further define the synergistic relationship of L-arginine, L-citrulline, and antioxidants in the human cardiovascular system.

Q: What has the response been like to your new book NO More Heart Disease?
A: The response to NO More Heart Disease has been tremendous. The book is bringing the Nitric Oxide story to millions of people. I’m the lucky one, because every day I get to hear the grateful stories of people whose lives have been transformed.

Soy Power

Soy-based products are on the rise for very healthy reasons.

Promote heart health and overall wellness with the super power of soy protein. Learn how to get your recommended daily dose of this super bean.

The humble soybean boasts some extraordinary benefits. In 1999, the FDA approved a dietary health claim for soy foods, recommending an average daily intake of 25 grams of soy protein, with soy isoflavones, in addition to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease. This final rule is based on the FDA's conclusion that foods containing soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of cardiac-heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels.

One of the ways that soy seems to promote heart health is thanks to its high content of isoflavones.

• Soy protein and soy isoflavones have been shown to promote healthy cholesterol that is already within normal range.
  
• Soy isoflavones help the body regulate estrogen levels, which may help alleviate many of the symptoms associated with menopause and PMS.
  
• Soy protein enhances the body's ability to retain and better absorb calcium into the bones. Soy isoflavones help by slowing bone loss and inhibiting bone breakdown. Herbalife offers a wide range of great-tasting soy-based products including Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix→, Formula 3 Protein Powder→, Roasted Soybeans with Low Sodium Salt→, Protein Bars→.

Women & Estrogen

Women using hormone replacement should be aware of a recent study that found several risks.

Recent studies on female hormone replacement therapy have revealed that the risks outweigh the benefits. Find out about safe, natural alternatives to estrogen and progesterone replacement.

A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association published the principal results from the Women's Health Initiative ¹. The study involved 16,608 women who took estrogen plus progesterone or a placebo to determine whether postmenopausal-estrogen replacement would help prevent heart disease and hip fractures. This study was also designed to determine whether there were risks associated with hormone-replacement therapy. The study was stopped after five years because the risks of therapy far outweighed the hope for benefits.

The conclusions of this landmark study are that women should not be using hormone replacement to prevent cardiovascular disease. The good news is that there are natural alternatives that successfully relieve these symptoms without the risks associated with prescription estrogen replacement.

What Nitric Oxide can do for Your Health

It’s like a trip to the gym for your cardiovascular system

With cardiovascular disease (CVD) the leading cause of death among both men and women in America, you need every advantage you can get in protecting yourself against CVD. The discovery of an amazing molecule, nitric oxide (NO), can help provide you with just this sort of protection.

NO improves circulation by helping blood vessels signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax–which widens the arteries, increases blood flow and helps maintain normal blood pressure. NO keeps your system youthful, toned, and flexible. In fact, optimizing NO production is like giving your cardiovascular system a workout every day! In addition to its numerous heart-health benefits, NO also promotes immune-system health and acts as a neurotransmitter.

Say yes to NO

Unfortunately, a large percentage of people are deficient in their production of NO, which puts them at increased risk of CVD. But using amino acids like L-arginine and L-citrulline, as well as antioxidants, you can actually increase your body’s own production of NO. To help optimize your NO production, use Niteworks→ and Herbalifeline from Herbalife→.

Quick tips from the doctor:

1. Eat a healthy diet low in saturated fat to reduce the risk of plaque build-up in arteries.
   
2. Daily exercise improves the elasticity of your blood vessels.
   
3. Get a full night’s sleep to rest and revitalize.
   

Unwind the Mind

We live in a fast-paced world. From traffic jams to deadlines to paying bills, stress is experienced on some level by almost everyone. Since avoiding stress and anxiety altogether is virtually impossible, it is important that we respond in the healthiest and most productive way.

 Stressful situation

Anxiety disorders, as a group, are the most common mental illness in America. More than 19 million American adults are affected each year and even more experience everyday stress. Stress can cause chemical changes in the body that have negative effects on both mental and physical health. Furthermore, stress has been implicated in causing a deficient immune system because of the nature of the body's response. During a stressful situation, the body signals the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. These hormones speed up heart rate, making the heart work too hard. Muscles tighten, blood pressure increases, and brain activity speeds up as well. Other physiological symptoms of stress can include hyperventilation, dizziness, digestive disorders, and headaches. 
 
Relaxing remedies

Relax. There are plenty of simple ways to calm stressed nerves naturally. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day and getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep will allow your body to function at its best and help to minimize stress. There are several creative techniques to combat stress, such as going for a walk, practicing breathing exercise, listening to music or spending time with friends.

Schizandra Plus→ contains helpful antioxidants which support the body’s natural defenses against stress such as schizandra berries, vitamins C and E, beta carotene and the mineral selenium.

So try not to stress over stress. There are a number of healthy ways to calm your day and rest easy at night.
