I'm so grateful..

Ever since these products have come to our home when I was a teenager in 1997 I've been so grateful to have them, they have allowed my body to work and repair it's self like nothing I've ever tired or come across before. Read about why I'm so in love with Reliv...

Untouched, no makeup

My Reliv story began over 10 years ago when I was introduced to the Reliv products by my parents. I started taking the products after I watched my little brother get results with his allergies. I was amazed to see my seasonal allergies disappear within 3 weeks and they have never been back since. The products have also helped me with the acne I was suffering with, and then with pain reduction in my broken femur from a terrible car accident. I can run with no pain if I want because of these products. I continued to take the products for prevention, and then as my prenatals when I started having children. My pregnancies were amazing-never did I deal with the normal pregnancy "side effects" like fatigue, brain fog, backaches and leg cramps. I felt wonderful, and my recoveries were fast and quick, and even after a c-section for my last baby there was virtually no pain. 
Since then I have lost and kept off 45lbs. and feel amazing!

Jud saw results with his migrain headaches and severe fatigue in a month, and found that he was jumping out of bed in the morning, and not slowly rolling out. 

I never wanted to do Reliv as a business because I've always been shy and didn't think I had the time to do it with 3 active little kids, but in Feb 2007 Reliv released a new weight loss product that people were getting amazing results on. I got excited and shared it with a few people and that first month earned $1000. I was amazed and very excited. We just kept sharing the business and all the products with people. Our income doubled a couple of months later. In 2007 with just a couple hours a day, we earned $17000. We've earned 2 trips & many bonuses with Reliv, the highest $3000 and $1250. I'm just sooo excited for the future and where it's going to take our family.

My children on Reliv
Our children have been on the Reliv products since conception. I loved what Reliv did for me in pregnancy, I felt great and had wonderful energy. As my kids were born, they were so healthy and strong! Very alert and even holding thier heads up on the first day. My oldest daughter was in a head-on accident at 2.5 weeks old, she was air-evaced to the hospital were they found a crack in her skull. She recovered very quickly and has no negative effects from that accident. My youngest was born 1 month early because she had tied her cord into a true knot. She has had no problems and is a very healthy and happy toddler.I recovered very quickly from the c-section with no drugs, because I had no pain.
Reliv has been such a blessing to our family. I know it has saved us a lot in medical bills that we don't have to deal with. My children have never had any infections of any kind, or had to go visit the doctor besides wellness checks. They hardly get sick, even being around their friends that are sick all the time. One of my kids got the chicken pox, we only dealt with that for 4 hours! They have such high immune systems.

Diabetes doesn't rule my life anymore!

A Type 1 diabetic, Angela Hosman of Phoenix, AZ, was told by her doctor in December 2008 that if she didn’t get her blood sugars and weight under control she would lose her legs by age 35. “It was a wake-up call for me,” Angela recalls. “My mother-in-law introduced me to Relìv and I started on GlucAffect® and the basic nutrition.”

Before Reliv she spent 5 weeks in a diabetic coma and her blood sugars were out of control running 300-400 after Glucaffect and the basic nutrition her blood sugars are balanced and running 80-120. In the first couple weeks, she lost 12 lbs. Today she is down over 60 lbs, her neuropathy is gone, and all circulation has returned. Not only has her blood sugars remained stable and normal but she has reduced her insulin by 90% and never had to use a pump. 

Nutrients to Better Manage Blood Sugar

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids can protect against liver damage and accompanying insulin resistance caused by obesity. These omega acids also help improve insulin sensitiv- ity and reduce blood sugar. In addition, studies show they promote cardiovascular health and maintain optimum blood pressure and cholesterol levels — all common challenges for people with elevated blood sugar.

Pycnogenol®

Pycnogenol®, a pinebark extract, is clinically proven to lower high blood glucose levels and improve related symptoms. The Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice reported that Pycnogenol is 190 times more effective than a prescrip- tion medicine in slowing the uptake of glucose after a meal. Another study, published in the Journal of Nutrition Research, showed Pycnogenol simultaneously lowered blood glucose, LDL (bad) cholesterol and blood pressure.

Antioxidants

New research shows that antioxidants can be an impor- tant way to improve insulin resistance. People with insulin resistance have increased levels of oxidative stress. Evidence shows oxidative stress can damage cells and may play a role in developing metabolic syndrome. Antioxidants can pre- vent oxidative damage and may even repair it. Antioxidants include vitamins E and C, selenium and carotenoids.

These ingredients can all be found in Relìv nutritional products: GlucAffect® (Omega 3s, Pycnogenol) and Relìv Classic® and Relìv Now® (a full range of essential nutrients, including antioxidants).

Take Steps to be more "Sensitive"

By improving your insulin sensitivity, you may steer your body away from developing type 2 diabetes as well as other serious health issues. The National Institute of Health’s Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) clinical trial found that lifestyle changes such as exercise and diet reduced the risk of diabetes by 58 percent. These steps also helped people with elevated blood sugar — not yet type 2 diabetes — return to normal blood sugar levels.

Get Moving

Exercise makes muscle cells more sensitive to insulin so they’re better able to use blood sugar for energy. Com- bining aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling or swimming, with strength training has the most impact on insulin sensitivity. In one study, insulin-resistant adults who did 30 minutes of moderate walking three to seven days a week for six months reversed their insulin resistance.

Lose Weight

Losing excess body fat is also essential to improving insulin sensitivity. In the DPP trial, participants who lost weight were much less likely to develop diabetes than those who remained at an unhealthy weight.

Choose Your Foods Wisely

Avoiding elevated blood sugar levels after meals can im- prove your insulin sensitivity. One way to do that is to eat the right kind of carbohydrates. High glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates cause blood sugar to rise quickly and require more insulin to control those levels. Examples of high

GI foods include unrefined sugars, white bread and fries. Instead, choose low GI carbohydrates with higher fiber such as whole grain breads, brown rice; and non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, green beans, asparagus

and greens.

Blood Sugar 101

*With insulin resistance, your pancreas can’t keep up with the body’s demand for insulin. As a result, excess glucose builds up in the blood stream, which sets the stage for type 2 diabetes.

• Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of factors that come together in one person. These include belly

• Insulin resistance can increase a person’s risk of heart disease, even if the person does not have type 2 diabetes.

•People with insulin resistance may have an increased risk of stroke.

•Moderate physical activity and maintaining proper weight can help prevent insulin resistance.

•Studies have shown that exercise can improve your insulin sensitivity within just one week of training even without weight loss.

• Just one night of insufficient sleep can reduce insulin sensitivity.

• Losing just 5 to 7 percent of body weight prevents or delays diabetes by nearly 60 percent.

Ups & Downs of Blood Sugar Management

The Ups and Downs of Blood Sugar Management

Have you read the latest headlines? The rate of people with metabolic syndrome — the precursor to diabetes — continues to grow. And the prevalence is increasing in young adults as well. That means the threat of diabetes expands with it. Along for

the ride is insulin resistance, a condition where the body’s produc- tion of insulin can’t keep up with the demand, so blood sugar levels increase. It’s also a stepping stone to diabetes. This is a dangerous trend that must be reversed. Thankfully, Relìv has made inroads.

Two years ago, Relìv introduced GlucAffect®, a revolutionary, targeted nutritional supplement created to address the cascade of heath problems caused by metabolic syndrome. The product brings together an unprecedented array of clinically proven ingre- dients to lower blood sugar and tackle cardiovascular issues.

In an eight-week clinical trial of GlucAffect, participants decreased their fasting blood glucose by 30.4 percent, which returned participants to healthy blood sugar values; their HbA1c (which shows an average of blood sugar levels over time) decreased from 7.59 percent to 6.33 percent, which put them in normal range; and they lost an average of 15 pounds.

Results like these are being duplicated by people around the world. With the rising rates of metabolic syndrome, it’s vital we share GlucAffect and all Relìv products so more people can enjoy good health — and a brighter future.
