Restore Your Core:

4 Simple Steps, 4 Key Products for Extraordinary Health

Forty-five years ago, Dr. Myron Brin showed that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), developed by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences, was dangerously low for most nutrients. He showed that long before a diagnosable disease appears, even slight nutrient deficiences cause physiological and psychological problems, such as slow brain function, insomnia, irritability, and nightmares. Today, we know that essential nutrient deficiency is even more dangerous than that; it lies at the root of all our major health problems. The good news is these deficiencies are preventable.

We can all reduce the risk of most health problems by improving what we place in our mouths.


The Root of the Problem

Current research all points to the same conclusion: our health is being undermined by a massive inflammation epidemic. Inflammation happens in response to stimuli like injury, illness, poor food, stress and medication. When inflammation happens in a healthy body, cells produce cell-signaling chemicals called cytokines and engage the body's 'emergency' cells. These cells control inflammation, capture invaders, and repair damage. And, like all cells, run on essential nutrients. When ample essential nutrients are available, they turn inflammation into healing. When essential nutrients run low, inflammation's fire never gets put out. Left unchecked, inflammation damages cells, tissues and eventually whole organs and systems. Medicinal science calls this condition chronic systemic inflammation. Research links all of the top killers, even rapid aging, to this condition.


Four Steps to Control Inflammation

It seems simple: control inflammation, and you slow aging and improve health dramatically. Drug companies understand this and are rushing to corner the anti-inflammatory market. However, Young Living offers natural, holistic solutions with only one side effect - extraordinary long-term health.

Here is a simple 4-step approach to start controlling inflammation today:

1. Identify and eliminate
2. Get enough essential nutrients.
3. Assimilate the essential nutrients.
4. Give it time.


Step 1

Anti-nutrients include junk food; stress; toxins; and illegal, prescription, and OTC drugs. While eliminating them and their damaging effects is the best thing to do, it can be a challenge. Anti-nutrients are often near and dear to those who crave them.

A recent survey found that junk food calories comprised 30 percent of the average person's diet, and people consume 1,000 percent more sugar than our ancestors did. Consider how many essential nutrient antidotes are required to counteract all the poison.


Step 2

2 key questions should come to mind: What are essential nutrients? How can I get enough? Almost all essential nutrients fall into 2 main categories and 9 subcategories:

MACRONUTRIENTS
water
essential amino acids from protein
essential sugars
essential fatty acids
fiber (soluble + insoluble)

MICRONUTRIENTS
essential vitamins
minerals
antioxidants
essential enzymes


Essential nutrients are considered essential for several reasons:

1. Proper leves are necessary to thrive and be healthy.
2. The body can't produce them on its own.
3. They must be assimilated through food and supplements
4. Without enough essential nutrients, a deficiency disorder will develop, e.g., no calcium = rickets; no vitamin C = scurvy; and no water = dehydration.

In today's world, the nutrient protection we get in the occasional "square meal" is like using a BB gun against a tank. To catch up and keep up with today's extraordinary demands, we must flood our systems with essential nutrients. We must eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and nutrient-dense superfoods, cleanse routinely, supplement daily, and supercharge the whole process with plant medicine's missing link: therapeutic-grade essential oils.

Young Living has packaged foundational essential oil nutrient products to create the Core Essential primary nutritional program. This fantastic new program includes NingXia Red, Balance Complete, Omega Blue, and Longevity.

NingXia Red is no ordinary 'juice'; it's an infusion of therapeutic-grade essential oils, utilizing fresh, whole Ningxia wolfberry parts as well as the juice, and blended with other premium superfruits to supply an incredible depth and breadth of critical antioxidants and a whole host of other key micronutrients.

Balance Complete is a whole-food based meal replacement that is both a powerful nutritive energizer and cleanser. It is like a who's who in superfoods. Balance Complete is high in fiber, high in protein, and contains the good fats, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals needed for a nutrionally dynamic meal.

Omega Blue supplements bring together the world's best animal and plant Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Not only does this product provide clinically proven doses of pure, un-concentrated fish oil, but it also contains the proprietary Omega Enhance essential oil blend.

Longevity is an anti-aging, anti-oxidant supplement of awesome proportions and specializes in fat-soluble antioxidants, a type of antioxidant often overlooked. Studies on compounds in Longevity confirm they protect the body's most fragile tissues and prevent abnormal cell growth. Longevity is as essential as a daily multivitamin; consider it your daily, essential oil multi-nutrient. Remeber: stop oxidation, stop inflammation, and stop the damaging cycle before it starts.

The Core Essentials primary nutritional program utilizes these 4 core producrts in two ongoing, health activities:

Routine cleansing with a 5-day nutritive cleanse: Good health begins with a healthy bowel. There is no need to punish yourself with a lengthy fast or rigorous cleanse to get started. At the heart of the program is a gentle, 5-day, nutritive fiber cleanse. This should be done at least once a quarter, but can be done more often if preferred.

• Drink at least 6 ounces of NingXia Red daily
  Drink at least 1/2 ounce of water daily for every pound of body weight
  Replace all 3 daily meals with Balance Complete.
  Snack only on fresh, raw fruits and vegetables.
  Supplement 3 times daily with Digest+Cleanse softgels to enhance cleansing, digestion, and nutrient assimilation.

Daily building and cleansing maintenance with Core Essentials: After the initial cleanse, make the Core Essentials part of your permanent daily nutritional regimen. This means you should:

• Drink 1 - 3 ounces of Ningxia Red daily
  Take one Longevity softgel daily
  Take one Omega Blue softgel 3 times daily
  Replace your least nutritious meal with Balance Complete. For better weight management, replace 2 meals.

Step 3

The routine cleansing and daily regimen in Core Essentials prepares your body, specifically your bowel, to digest, assimilate, and maximize essential nutrients. Whole-food products are easily digested, specialized enzymes soothe the bowel, prevent gas, and stimulate liver, gall bladder, and stomach secretions, thus aiding digestion and absorption. Using a wide variety of essential nutrients together also enhances bioavailability.


Step 4

Commit to following the program for at least 60 days; if possible, follow the plan for 90 days. Take an overall health inventory and track your progress. Realize that this program is only meant to provide a primary nutritional foundation.

When the right raw materials are available, the body can do remarkable things, and then time will heal the wounds. Don't be surprised if you begin to see positive changines quickly - these are not ordinary nutritional products. All Young Living essential oils and oil-enhanced products provide pure, living plant energy, and most people notice an exceptional difference right away.
