For
Peak Performance - We’ve got exactly what you need…. Herbalife
provides products that assist fuelling, refuelling, repairing and recovery.
These products provide highly digestible and absorbable carbohydrates,
proteins and essential fatty acids – all required by the body to help with
peak performance. If you want to
experience the ultimate competitive edge, make Herbalife part of your
life. How
to use the products: Fuelling Carbohydrates
= Instant Fuel All
activities use fuel, which is measured in calories and often referred to as
energy. In order to run effectively,
it is important to make sure our fuel tanks are properly filled.
Our immediate-use fuel tanks are our muscles.
The quick –burning fuels our bodies use are carbohydrates such as
bread, pasta, rice, vegetables, fruit and sugar.
When we eat carbohydrates they are converted in the body and stored as
muscle glycogen – thus filling up the fuel tank. Do:
Drink a Formula 1 Shake mixed with diluted fruit juice 30 minutes before
exercise. This provides immediate
fuel (carbohydrates) and helps to spare the stored fuel in the muscles (muscle
glycogen). Fat
= Reserve Fuel Fat
in our food are stored in the ‘long – distance’ fuel tanks: our fat cells.
We tap into these reserve fuels when we participate in endurance events. Do:
Use Herbalife’s full line of nutritional products, including Formula 2
Vitamin-Mineral & Herbal Tablets and Cell Activator to ensure you’re
giving your body optimal nutrition. Optimal
nutrition sets Herbalife’s products apart from most 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 and herbs helps to
optimise your ability to digest food properly, further assuring that nutrition
reaches the cellular level. Refuelling Keep
in mind that our window of opportunity for maximum-potential glycogen
replenishment occurs within the first 30 minutes after exercise.
This simply means that we have a 30-minute opportunity when our muscles
are most receptive toward being refilled. Do:
Immediately
after exercise, drink a Formula 1 Protein Drink mixed with fruit juice – start
filling those fuel tanks! Continue
refuelling the body for up to two hours after exercise with carbohydrate-rich
foods. Repairing Protein
= Repair After
exercise, we should also take in high-quality protein.
Every activity in life damages muscle cells, the more strenuous the
activity or the exercise, the more damage that occurs.
Adequate, high-quality protein assists muscle cells in repairing
themselves. Do:
Between 90 and 120 minutes after your training session or race drink
Formula 1 mixed in a protein-rich beverage (cow’s milk, soy milk or yoghurt)
or eat a Herbalife Protein Bar. Recovery Research
suggests that antioxidant nutrients assist in reducing recovery time by helping
the body combat free radical damage. Athletes
create large amounts of free radicals in several ways.
One way is by simply breathing in far more oxygen than a non-active
person does. By
minimising free-radical production, the athlete can potentially reduce the
amount of recovery time needed between events.
Reducing free-radical damage may: 1.
speed up lactic acid removal mechanisms 2.
reduce muscle-fibril degradation 3.
increase glycogen resynthesis The
bottom line is that an athlete may feel less soreness, stiffness and fatigue.
A variety of antioxidants enhance the body’s recovery and regenerate
each other to sustain the body’s antioxidant power. Do:
Take Herbalife’s antioxidant products – Schizandra Plus and RoseOx.
The body has the potential to perform optimally when in a state of good
nutritional health. As active
people, we must take a pro-active approach toward our nutritional intake so that
we have high quality fuel available and the energy necessary to sustain our
desired level of activity, exercise and competition. Hydrating During
training and competition drink fluid at least every 15 minutes. Do:
Consume water with a very weak solution of Formula 1.
Enjoy Instant Herbal Beverage** as often as desired. Additions To
ensure you obtain and absorb the proper amount of vitamins and minerals, include
Formula 2 Vitamin Mineral and Herbal Tablets and Cell Activator in your diet. Remember,
during warm-ups and after exercise has finished, it is vital to stretch and cool
down assist in the recovery and repairing process. Herbalife
products can be used by those who simply go to the gym or by those who train and
compete seriously. For all levels of
active people, Herbalife can be used to fuel, refuel, repair and help with
recovery.
