I received the below message from USANA’s President and COO, Dr. Fred Cooper, and I thought it was a message worth sharing with my readers. Our future is in our children and we must do everything humanly possible to keep them safe while they are surfing on the Internet.  Duane Spears

Hello USANA Family!

I want to talk to you about one of USANA’s unique partnerships that could be extremely valuable to you, your friends and family, and your business.

As some of you are aware, for a little over a year now, USANA has dabbled in the “Webworld” of kids’ social networking. We partnered with a site known as Woogi World. Among other things, Woogi World teaches kids about nutrition and healthy habits in a fun online playland.

Now, for those of you who have little kids like me, you know they are amazing on computers. They love to be on them, playing games. I ran USANA’s IT department for more than 10 years, and they know their way around computers way better than I do. (No USANA system jokes please!)

But given how much they are on the Web, I worry about exactly which sites they are visiting all that time. Okay, I know the computer can’t replace me as a parent, but if it’s gonna be a babysitter for a while… I want their time to be fun, safe, and educational. Woogi World provides an entertaining, secure environment for kids to learn many different useful skills. Not only is the site free from sales pitches and potentially negative content, it also requires active parental involvement, which means I have to give my PC babysitter a break and be a parent!

I love the fact that Woogi World can keep the attention of my 8 year old while teaching him at the same time. This is because Woogi World was developed in collaboration with experts in using media to help kids learn, and it effectively teaches kids how to use the Internet as a learning tool!

I believe Woogi World’s mission ties in perfectly with USANA’s vision of a world free from disease. We all have heard the scary statistics about obesity in kids today. The nutrition section of Woogi World teaches kids the importance of making good choices for lifelong health. It also rewards them for taking what they learn and sharing it in their community, teaching them to be good influences on their peers. By helping kids establish a commitment to health that will stay with them for life,

I believe we can make a difference in our kids’ futures.

You may be wondering how Woogi World could possibly apply to building your business. The answer is simple: by helping you build relationships.

Network marketing is all about relationships. By telling people about Woogi World, you will establish a foundation of trust by showing them the style of Web sites you endorse. Look for opportunities to approach parents, teachers, PTA members, Scout troop leaders, etc., and share Woogi World with them. Send a quick e-mail to past prospects, letting them know that you think they might be interested and that the nutrition section of the site was developed in conjunction with USANA. By working together we can help make the USANA family the healthiest family on earth—making Dr. Wentz’ dream one step closer to coming true.

I encourage you to visit Woogi World and get the children in your life involved. And, if you’d like to learn more, make sure to look for Woogi World at the 2009 International Convention.

Sincerely,

Fred Cooper, Ph.D.

Below is an article contributed by Mike Geary, the founder of TruthAboutAbs.com. I thought this was an important topic to share with you because the reality is that most people simply don’t realize how dangerous their excess abdominal fat really is to their health.

The Hidden Dangers of Your Excess Abdominal Fat – It’s More Serious Than a Vanity Issue!

by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think
of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply ugly, is covering up their abs from being visible, and makes them self conscious about showing off their body.

However, what most people don’t realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research has clearly demonstrated that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal fat.

There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area. The first type that covers up your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.

The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that “beer belly” appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push on it.

Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area are serious health risk factors, but science has shown that having excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly increase the risk your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases.

Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it apparently releases more inflammatory molecules into your body on a consistent basis.

If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP priorities! There’s just no way around it. Besides, a side-effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive ugly abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.

So what gets rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there actually a REAL solution beyond all of the gimmicks and hype that you see in ads and on commercials for “miracle” fat loss products?

The first thing you must understand is that there is absolutely NO quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will help you lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rockers, rollers, or ab belts will help get rid of abdominal fat either. You can’t spot reduce your stomach fat by using any of these worthless contraptions. It simply doesn’t work that way.

The ONLY solution to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to combine a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.

I’ve actually even seen a particular study that divided thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise/diet group. While both groups in this study made good progress, the diet-only group lost significantly LESS abdominal fat than the diet & exercise combined group.

Now the important thing to realize is that just any old exercise program will not necessarily do the trick. The majority of people that attempt getting into a good exercise routine are NOT working out effectively enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this everyday at the gym.

Most people will do your typical boring ineffective cardio routines, throw in a little outdated body-part style weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and think that they are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become frustrated after weeks or months of no results and wonder where they went wrong.

Well, the good news is that I’ve spent over a decade researching this topic, analyzing the science, and applying it “in the trenches” with myself as well as thousands of my clients from all over the world to see what works to really stimulate abdominal fat loss.

The entire solution… all of the nutritional strategies, as well as training sequences, exercise combinations, and more have all been compiled in my Truth About Six Pack Abs Program.

Keep in mind that the point of this whole program is NOT abdominal exercises (that is only a very small portion of it). The main point of this program is showing you the absolute most effective strategies for losing your stubborn abdominal fat, so you can get rid of that dangerous health risk, as well as get a flatter more defined midsection.

If you follow the guidelines, you WILL lose your belly fat that has been plaguing you for years. This is not guesswork… it is a proven system that works time and time again for all of my clients on every corner of the globe that actually apply the information I teach. If you apply it, the results will come. It’s really that simple.

The only reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a few weeks or months, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.

I want to help you succeed in finally getting rid of that extra abdominal fat that is not only UGLY, but also DANGEROUS.

Don’t waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to kill your confidence as well as contribute to your risk for MAJOR diseases.

Get the solution to rid yourself for life of this problem at…

Train hard, eat right, and enjoy life!

I was reading my email this morning and I found this article by Stephen Daniells on Omega-3 and I thought I should share it with my readers.

Omega-3 DHA boosts memory for healthy adults, not Alzheimer’s sufferers
By Stephen Daniells

Daily supplements with the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may improve both memory function and heart health in healthy older adults, according to a new study from Martek.

The results, specific to people with a decline in cognitive function that occurs naturally with age, were presented at the Alzheimer’s Association 2009 International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease (ICAD 2009) in Vienna.

Almost 500 people took part in the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, six month study, which also recorded improvements in the heart rate of people receiving the DHA supplement. The study was funded by Martek Biosciences.

“In our study, healthy people with memory complaints who took algal DHA capsules for six months had almost double the reduction in errors on a test that measures learning and memory performance versus those who took a placebo,” said Yurko-Mauro, PhD, associate director of clinical research at Martek and lead researcher of the study.

“The benefit is roughly equivalent to having the learning and memory skills of someone three years younger.” Click here for more.
