A new study from Israel shows just two glasses of fruit juice or soft drink a day makes a person five times
more likely to develop fatty liver disease. The culprit is the fruit sugar fructose, found in many popular drinks. “Fructose increases the chances of developing a fatty liver, which can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer,” says lead researcher Dr. Nimer Assy, adding that diet drinks were not without risk either. Although they don’t contain fructose, they contain aspartame and caramel colourants, which can increase insulin resistance and induce fatty liver, he advises.

Nearly 66 percent of American women are overweight or obese. The obesity problem is particularly worrying in Latina girls population, because the latter often stay obese also into adulthood which makes them more susceptible to heart attack, stroke and diabetes. Weight training and aerobics can be the solution for this issue according to USC Study which showed that a program consisting of a reduced calorie diet, weight training and aerobics promoted fat loss better than diet only or diet plus weight training combination. Aerobics and weight training can help you lose fat and keep it off.

A swig of flat cola could pep up your performance. Sports nutritionists from Birmingham University have found that two cups of cola can improve endurance during long-distance events. For the study, cyclists were given three different drinks—glucose, glucose mixed with caffeine, or plain water – before being put through exercise. They found combining caffeine with glucose meant 26 per cent more sugar was absorbed into the body, translating into a 10-minute time gain.

Our newest Russian Diamond, Vera Menshikova’s story is a living testiment to the fact that with Agel, belief, hard work, and dedication really are all it takes to be successful. Ms. Menshikova is a 45-year-old mother of two with some previous direct selling experience and a whole lot of heart.

“I was a network marketer at birth!” she exclaims. She goes on to explain, “I have a profound conviction that network marketing isn’t just a profession, it’s a way of life—the way of life for a free man! Agel is the kind of company you could only dream of.”

After years of trying her hand at network marketing, Vera was looking for something new, something big. She was looking and praying and open to finding it. She happened to sit down in a crowded café in a Moscow shopping mall right next to Agel Diamond Ata Mamedov and her prayers were answered.

She had heard of Mr. Mamedov by reputation in Russian network marketing circles, and when he began to tell her about his commitment to Agel, she knew she would be Agel, too. “It would take something really unique to attract an already successful leader like Ata,” she explains.

It was the beginning of summer, 2006. They began holding PBRs in the café. There was a terrible heat wave in Moscow at the time and people were crowding the cafés. Vera would invite total strangers to sit with her and explain her Agel business. “We made meetings…first at one table, then two, then three. By the end of June, we had over 80 people.” That’s when Triple Diamond Director Randy Gage made a trip to Moscow to investigate the sudden growth. Meeting with Randy had a dramatic impact on Vera and her team. “Randy Gage is the real sponsor for the growth of the business in Russia!” Vera exclaims!

But the work wasn’t done, it was just beginning. Vera took an apartment in Moscow so she could be with Ata and concentrate on her networking. Then she began traveling around Russia to share her vision of Agel.

In September of 2006, she made an excursion to five different cities in Siberia. She stayed with friends or contacts and subsisted on free cookies and other food she could get for free. Over the course of the next year she would make trips to five different regions in Russia to meet people at cafés, talk to people on the street, and tell everyone about Agel. “We simply worked a lot!” And that hard work paid off. “Today I have a bigger organization in Siberia and the Far East. I also have a super team here in [her hometown of] St. Petersburg.”

Vera’s WHY is her family. “I have two grown daughters. The youngest, Vlada, is a 19-year-old Agel Regional Director and is already making $5,000-6,000 a month! My older daughter, Yulia, is raising a small son, my grandson. And her husband, Sergey, is also a Director in Agel.” Vera’s husband is an artist and a composer who supports her in her work. “I dream of buying a big estate on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, surrounded by a forest of pine trees…. My family and I love to travel and enjoy life and this is simple to do with Agel.”

Vera’s advice to the rest of us is simply to speak up. She has shared her enthusiasm about Agel with total strangers over the past two years wherever she has gone. It is the secret to her success. “Agel is, in all actuality, a simple business! …share the joy and opportunity that is Agel. People are waiting for you! You have much to offer!”

Join us in congratulating the remarkable success of Ms. Vera Menshikova, from St. Petersburg, Russia. поздравления!!

Agel EXO

Antioxidants are substances that help prevent cellular damage in our bodies. Our body has its own process of repair, but with the stress of current lifestyles and the increasing amount of pollutants in the environment, we may need some extra help. Ideally, we can get most of the antioxidants we need by eating fruits and vegetables, essentials of a healthy diet. However, in today’s fast-paced world we sometimes replace fresh fruits and vegetables with less than ideal choices. Therefore, enhancing our less than optimal diet with an exceptional antioxidant supplement may be extremely beneficial. Agel EXO is the proprietary exotic antioxidant formula in our initial product offerings.

EXO is a powerful blend of 17 different unique whole fruit purees and plant extracts from around the world, each with its own unique properties. This distinctive formula contains 17 potent botanicals that each when tested individually was found to have a very high total antioxidant capacity. Now imagine, the extraordinary benefit of EXO, a highly concentrated gel, made up of not one but 17 of these antioxidant-rich fruits and plants. In independent testing, EXO’s antioxidant capacity as determined by an oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) rating was found to be a quite extraordinary.

Optimum health requires adequate nutrition. Adequate nutrition involves balance, moderation and variety. Scientific literature suggests that the intake of a varied selection of antioxidants is much better than taking high doses of just one or two antioxidants. Since EXO is a highly concentrated gel containing a variety of antioxidant–rich botanicals, the multifaceted benefits of this formulation are truly unique.

Mango instead of some kind of beauty mask, papaya instead of peeling, soy instead of cremes – that’s beauty food. Who wants to be beautiful should not rely solely on hi-tech creams, but also eat well, so his/hers skin gets certain essential nutrients and vitamins. Some foods can really help significantly in slowing the aging process, some of them even reverse it. Finally, the skin is a mirror image of our diets and lifestyles. So beauty is – literally speaking – coming from the inside.

Beauty Food – A Shield for the Skin

Not all people get old equally fast. While some can maintain with smooth skin into old age, other people’s biological clock appear to tick twice as fast. So far, it was assumed that especially the genes are responsible for this difference. Now German researchers have found out, however, that minor inflammations in the skin tissue is a root cause of wrinkles and sagging tissue. Responsible for this “underground” inflammation are so called free radicals, which act on the skin. The result: The skin is irritable, hypersensitive – and thus more susceptible to the symptoms of aging such as wrinkles and pigmentation spots. But we can help the skin with the right diet, which can reduce inflammation and protect the skin against further attacks.

What Beauty Food prevents the appearance of wrinkles and blotchy pigmentation and which foods can help the immune system even in the fight against eczema and herpes, we’ll let you in the picture gallery!

An important role in conservation of young skin plays vitamin A. This vitamin promotes growth and renewing cells and may reduce to mitigate smaller wrinkles. Particularly rich in vitamin A are foods such as camembert, liver and eggs.

Beta-carotene intercepts the free radicals caused by UV radiation. Top suppliers for this substance are carrots, spinach and yams. It can be improved the body’s own sun protection or by the regular intake of lycopene. This red colorant finds mainly in tomatoes and watermelons.

Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays an essential role in pigment formation. Thus the production of melanin can be slowed down – fade age spots. Good vitamin C suppliers are kiwis, lemons and currants.

The cause for dry skin often lies grounded in a lack skin lipids.This can be improved to some point – with nutrition. You should therefore carefully incorporate sufficient mono and polyunsaturated fats which organism then converts into usable fats. Particularly rich in valuable fatty acids are linseed oil, hemp oil, walnut oil and fish such as herring and salmon.

Psoriasis is one of the most common skin diseases. Responsible for it is the excessive formation of scales and a blockage of the natural skin renewal. Here may help rich in Omega-3 fats nutrition. Those fats ensure the decline of inflammations and production of the skin’s own sebum. Good suppliers of this type of substances are tuna, salmon, herring and linseed oil.

Almost 90 percent of adults suffer occasionally from unpleasant herpes vesicles. With the help of the diet you can increase the body’s defenses against the herpes viruses. Important for the defense: the amino acid lysine – this substance inhibits growth of viruses. Particularly lot of lysine is contained in parmesan, shrimp, tuna and soybeans.

Dry, rough and scaly skin combined with extreme itchiness – neurodermatitis can drive the affected people at outskirts of despair. The diseased skin lacks a certain fat, called gamma linolenic acid responsible for defense against environmental influences. To build the barrier function of the skin, the fatty acid supply must be increased. Particularly rich in linolenic acid are hemp and borage oils.
