Make exercise part of your daily regime, like brushing your teeth.

Exercise will help you control your weight and improve your body shape and posture.
Perhaps what you need now is the motivation to get started, and it’s not as hard as you might think - the following ideas will give you a nudge in the right direction.

GENTLY does it!

Gently ease yourself in an exercise programme. Build-up gradually to 30-60 minutes four times a week, you need to feel a little out of breath to know you are working hard enough. Every hour you dedicate to fitness is an hour well spent!

• Wake up ten minutes early. Lie in bed and stretch all your legs, arms, back, neck, hands, feet, everything - feels great!
• Join a gym, either by yourself, with your spouse or a friend.
• Go for a brisk 30 minute walk at lunchtime, get some fresh air and feel that blood coursing through your veins.
• Engage the services of a personal trainer - find out how to get fit the professional way.
• For a daily workout, use your TV as a fitness partner with the help of a few DVDs - pilates, yoga, tai chi, stretching, etc.
• Park your car further away from your workplace and walk.
• Desk-bound? Keep moving! Tap your feet, swing your legs, fidget and stand when you use the telephone.
• Use the stairs more often - great for a workout!
• Join a rambling club and get out at the weekends with fellow walkers.
• Play fun games with your children more frequently.
• Treat yourself to a regular massage to help keep your muscles in balance.
• Make sure you ENJOY what you do - if it’s not fun, the desire will dry up.

Muscles that are accustomed to a ‘quiet life’ won’t know what’s hit them if you suddenly start a busy exercise programme, this is when you are most vulnerable to injury. Introduce your body to exercise gradually and consider the follow advice.

Stretch and Balance. Tension and long periods of inactivity can cause your muscles to contract and tighten. Regular stretching helps to keep you limber and less prone to injury when you exercise. Among its many benefits, stretching reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, increases flexibility, reduces stress and fatigue, and improves mental alertness. Remember to stretch before and after any type of exercise, as well as on the days you choose not to exercise. A five minute stretching workout is the perfect way to start every day and again to help release tension before you go to bed. Practicing yoga is a great way to stretch your muscles and maintain flexibility. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find yourself stopping for a good stretch throughout the day... why else do cats looks so content!

Tone and Strengthen. In addition to helping you look more toned, building muscle mass also has the advantage that you’ll burn more calories for every pound of muscle that you add. Try weight-lifting, resistance training, or pilates at least twice a week. By incorporating these simple fitness rules, any additional exercise you choose to do will reap larger rewards.

Cascading Revenol In a Class of it's Own

Cascading Revenol In a Class of it's Own

With Cascading Revenol leading the Antioxidant Revolution you too can benefit from an army of the most superior antioxidants to be found in one bottle.

Today's store shelves contain countless products containing one form of antioxidant or another, all of which claim to be superior. The question is, must you buy five, ten, or even twenty different products with various forms of expensive antioxidants to stay healthy?

With so many antioxidants to choose from, how can you really know which antioxidants to buy?

Although some antioxidants are superior in selectively fighting some free radicals, no one single antioxidant can rid the body of hundreds of free radicals that exist in your cells. Now you can have the benefits of an army of the most superior antioxidants - all in one bottle.

Cascading Revenol not only provides these antioxidants in the high quantities you need, but in a unique formulation that will provide you with the tremendous regenerative technology found in cascading antioxidants.

After having entered the body, most antioxidant molecular structures grab one free radical and then change into an inert state, ceasing to provide further radical-scavenging ability.

Cascading Revenol's technologically advanced cascading formulation assists
the regeneration of molecules so that many scavenging molecules can actually take multiple free radicals from the cells of the body. Imagine - instead of only one free radical being destroyed per antioxidant molecule, each molecule is able to change structure and repeat the process again and again. The value of each antioxidant molecule increases exponentially

Surprisingly unknown to many antioxidant users is the fact that, in some cases, after an antioxidant molecule has scavenged a free radical, the antioxidant molecule itself becomes a free radical. Neways compensates for this type of antioxidant blooper in its Cascading Revenol formula. Vitamin E and C are excellent examples of useful antioxidants that become free radicals after having absorbed one free radical per molecule. However, Cascading Revenol's formulation allows for vitamin C to regenerate the antioxidant effects of vitamin E. The ingredient glutathione regenerates vitamin C, converting it to its original beneficial form. Then alpha lipoic acid helps rejuvenate glutathione.

Other ingredients further carry out this process in the never-ending cascading combinations found throughout this advanced antioxidant formula. One of Cascading Revenol's most impressive cascades is found in rosemary extract, which contains the antioxidant molecule carnosic acid. After this powerful molecule has extracted a free radical, it changes its structure and becomes carnosol, Carnosol also extracts a free radical and then changes again, becoming rosmanol. Rosmanol continues free-radical scavenging until galdosol is created and further continues scavenging. All of this is accomplished beginning with just one simple, yet powerful antioxidant molecule.

Just as one vitamin or mineral is not the key to total body health, one antioxidant is not the key to effective free-radical elimination. When you use Cascading Revenol, your body will receive the powerful rejuvenating ability of a 1,268-mg mega-dose of the most high-impact cascading antioxidants known to the human race.


Caution: Consult a doctor before using these products if pregnant or lactating, or if you have a medical condition or are taking medication



Key ingredients:

Cascading Revenol's formulation boasts a healthy supply of an army of the most potent antioxidants in the world. Included in the line-up are the following:

Astaxanthin: sitting atop the antioxidant pyramid, this new, powerful antioxidant has the very rare ability to support healthy cellular function. Astaxanthin is a fat and water soluble nutrient, providing excellent bioavailability. Its polar power assists this nutrient by attaching itself to the sides of the cell membrane and also inside the cell membrane where the free radical attack is first encountered. Astaxanthin is on the fast track to being recognised as one of the strongest antioxidants on earth and Neways is proud to be one of the first companies to utilise this important component in Cascading Revenol.

Grape seed extract: Neways would not be content without being able to offer you the most powerful and bioavailable, broad spectrum antioxidant grape seed extract on the market. For this reason, Neways uses a full-spectrum extract from the Rhone Valley in France, the richest wine producing area in the world. This extract is rich in Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins (OPCs). The bioflavonoids found in the grape skins also contribute significantly to the cascade effect of the formulation.

Decaffeinated green tea extract: boasting a 90% catechin content, Neways' green tea extract is a crucial element in the fight against free radicals. Green tea is known to assist against oxidation oflipids and promote overall health. Green tea also supports the circulatory, immune and cellular systems. Neways includes a very high concentration of this exceptional antioxidant in Cascading Revenol.

Turmeric extract: Neways only accepts turmeric with at least 95% curcuminoid
content. Why? Unlike many antioxidants, curcuminoids are able to not only support the body as it fights existing free radicals, but also support the bbdy in its fight against free radical formation. Turmeric extract is another indespensible ingredient in Cascading Revenol.

Rosemary officinalis extract: similar to vitamin E's maintenance of several other antioxidants, this superior extract possesses the cascading ability to rejuvenate vitamin E. Rosemary also participates in the carnosic acid cascade, enabling its molecules to repeatedly scavenge free radicals. Neways includes a very generous amount of this potent and unique aspect for the free radical attack. Alpha lipoic acid: originally thought to be a vitamin, this impressive antioxidant plays a key role in supporting the conversion of glucose to energy. If the body isdevoid of alpha lipoic acid, vitamins E and C (two of the greatest treasures in the vitamin world) are almost useless. Alpha lipoic acid conserves these two distinguished vitamins in the body, rendering them more productive. Alpha lipoic acid actually helps to recycle vitamin E. Furthermore, other antioxidants do not network together properly when the body is deficient of this vitamin-like substance. Alpha lipoic acid energises metabolism; supports muscle function; supports the body against heavy metals and toxic metals; supports the nervous system, liver, and immune system.

Ellagic acid: Neways is proud to be among the very first companies to recognise the benefits of ellagic acid. Keep an eye open for several new revelations concerning this new, highly regarded yet little known substance.

Resveratrol: trans-resveratrol is a powerful phytonutrient that has been identified as the healthiest aspect of red wine. This newly discovered antioxidant is also known to maintain healthy skin and helps support the immune system. This nutrient is not yet well recognised publicly, but Neways is quick to recognise it's benefits and has included resveratrol as one of the special ingredients in Cascading Revenol.

Bioflavonoid complex: ever wondered why an apple a day keeps the doctor
away? This is due to the high quantities offlavonoids found in fruits (and now
found in Cascading Revenol). These well researched antioxidants are known for
their powerful scavenging ability and are vital to this formula.

Carotenoid complex: carotenoids, found in several yellow and orange vegetables,
have a very synergistic significance in combination with selenium and vitamin E.
It has been shown that increased intake of vitamin E and carotenoids supports the cardiovascular system. The well-known benefits of alpha and beta-carotene are only a portion of the antioxidant power in Neways' carotenoid complex. Other
well-known carotenoids, among over 600 known, include lycopene, lutein and
zeaxanthin.

Co-enzyme Q10: Neways supplies a generous portion of Co-enzyme Q10 - an
important antioxidant found in all living cells. Co-QlO assists by strengthening
cell wall membranes and producing energy directly in the mitochondria of living
cells. Co-QlO supports the cardiovascular system, tissues, organs and the immune
system.

N-acetyl cysteine: as a thiol-replenishing component to the cascading formula, N-acetyl cysteine has been shown to be effective as well as safe. Its contribution to the glutathione/vitamin cascade is essential.

Esterified vitamin C: this is a bonded form of multiple vitamin C molecules in a
configuration that enhances its power and residual retention in the body. As in
Revenol, this form of vitamin C stays in the body for up to three days. This
increased retention time is extremely beneficial to antioxidants since vitamin C
plays an important role in the antioxidant cascade and is highly effective at
regenerating vitamin E.

Vitamin E: there are several cascading interactions of vitamin E with the other
antioxidants in the formula such as glutathione, selenium and vitamin C. Neways
takes advantage of the phytosome delivery system found in natural vitamin E to
increase absorption.

Glutathione: vitamin C relies upon glutatrnone's contribution to the antioxidant
cascade to support its free radical scavenging abilities. Without glutathione,
vitamin C and vitamin E cannot be regenerated to continue with their free radical scavenging activities. Alpha lipoic acid contributes greatly to glutathione's cascading qualities and content in the body.

Quercetin: derived from citrus fruit, this highly concentrated form of
biofiavonoids is widely regarded as one of the heavy hitters of the antioxidant
realm. Both Russians and Europeans have long recognised quercetin's support of
the body's systems. Its uses are spread from assisting relaxation to supporting the cardiovascular system. A generous supply of this ingredient adds a significant intensity to the formula.

White pine bark extract: containing an impressive complex of antioxidants, this water soluble flavonoid has an almost 500 year old history. Needless to say, the benefits of this complex antioxidant are extremely diversified and well known around the world.

Taurine: beneficial in supporting the nervous system, taurine makes a potent contribution to the cascading formulation. Taurine is an amino acid antioxidant that helps maintain the proper concentration of ions within cells. Taurine also plays a role in cardiovascular and cellular health.

Inositol: this white crystalline nutrient is a cell membrane stabiliser, a hydroxyl radical scavenger and growth supporter. Look for inositol's benefits in supporting musculoskeletal health and the signs associated with ageing. Inositol is a sugar found in the muscles, but does not stimulate insulin release.

Potassium sulphate: sulphur is critical to detoxification. It is also terrific in assisting the body in its fight against oxidative stress and a key element in the cascading chemical processes of this formulation within the body. This potassium form of sulphate promotes cellular energy.

Selenium selenomethionine: selenium is an important nutrient in the antioxidant cascade that promotes healthy cell division. The amino acid, methionine, is a carrier that helps selenium to be easily absorbed through the intestinal tract.

Copper: copper is an important supporting mineral for keeping our skin, blood vessels and connective tissues supple and elastic. Low levels of copper can contribute to free radicals by lowering the activity of several endogenous antioxidant peptides. This mineral is important in supplements that contain zinc and vitamin A.

Zinc monomethionine: this easily absorbed and retained form of zinc is vital for over 70 different enzyme systems. Zinc supports the immune, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems, the metabolism of vitamins A and E, energy production, DNA/protein synthesis and, of course, free radical scavenging activity. The list goes on as research continues to reveal much more about this impressive mineral.

Sustained release system
Cascading Revenol has been given an even bigger advantage over other antioxidant products. It utilises a unique sustained release delivery system. This system has been shown to release nutrients gradually over a period of ten hours. A constant slow release of nutrients enables the body to more easily regulate metabolic pathways.

This means the nutrients in Cascading Revenol are more efficiently absorbed in
the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring optimum utilisation by the body's system.

The added benefits...

Cascading Revenol packs a healthy mega-dose of cascading antioxidants, which
would cost hundreds of pounds if purchased separately outside this cascading
formulation.

Neways Green Qi®

The Launch of a New Product Long Awaited .. Neways Green Qi

You can purchase this product from the Looks Amazing website.

Neways Green Qi®

A superfood formula, specially developed for the European Region with 100% organic* ingredients. Green Qi supplies your body with a multitude of fruit and vegetable ingredients to help maintain energy, healthy body cells, boost antioxidants and support healthy digestion.

The ingredient combination in Green Qi is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential enzymes. A potent nutritional combination to help you feel healthier, more energised, and balanced.

“The Qi to great health”
A growing trend is super foods, foodstuff that give more than just basic nutrition to your diet. All foods have some nutritional value, but there are some that are so beneficial to your health they are known as ‘superfoods’.

Knowledge and understanding of superfoods amongst nutritionists is constantly evolving, and there is no doubt that diligently sourced raw ingredients and effective manufacturing procedures will provide an optimised nutritional profile.

The overall concensus is that unrefined and organic fruits, vegetables and grains lead the way – and we know our Distributors agree with that.

The ingredients in Green Qi feature 100% organic status and, following a freeze-drying manufacturing process are powdered and then combined to provide the highest possible level of nutrients. Nothing is removed apart from water – all the other key elements remain in place – awaiting rehydration!

Neways Green Qi®
100% organic certification in a powerful combination. Well, we know Green Qi contains the right stuff: superfoods, organic status, an optimised formulation and a nutritionally efficient manufacturing process. Now let’s take a closer look at the key individual ingredients.

Activated Pre Sprouted Barley (PSB) : The optimal nutritional state of the plant. One of the key ingredients of the formulation, PSB contains an abundance of nutritional strength.

Key elements include protein, soluble fibres, enzymes , essential fatty acids plus complex carbohydrate. ost of the essential vitamins and minerals are present, as are all eight essential amino acids in a ratio mirroring the human body’s. Spirulina: One of the greatest sources of vegetable protein and antioxidants.

Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green algae containing a balance of nutrients that make it virtually a ‘whole food’ capable of sustaining life without the need for other foods. Spirulina provides vitamins, many minerals, essential amino acids, carbohydrates and enzymes.

Spirulina is at least 60% vegetable protein, which is predigested by the algae, making it a highly digestible food. Spirulina also contains a wealth of pigments including chlorophyll-a, xanthophyll, beta-carotene, echinenone, myxoxanthophyll, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, diatoxanthin, 3’-hydroxyechinenone, beta-cryptoxanthin, oscillaxanthin, plus the phycobiliproteins c-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin. Linseed (Flaxseed): The richest vegan source of Omega-3fatty acids.

Linseed oil is one of the richest, natural sources of Omega-3 fatty acids and is an ideal alternative to fish oil (ideal for vegans). Linseed is also an optimal source of dietary fibre  and protein and containing all eight essential amino acids plus it is the richest known source of lignans, which have antioxidative properties.

Neways Green Qi®
Barley Grass: The ideal enzyme/PH balancer to assist bioavailability. Barley Grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps keep the ratio between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids balanced and also helps to maximise the efficiency of cell function. Barley grass also contains live enzymes including the anti-aging enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD).

SOD aids in  digestion and metabolism by helping to disperse vitamins and minerals into the blood stream and also acts as a cellular anti-oxidant. Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah): A mineral-rich fibre provider. Fibre is an essential part of our diet, and many modern diets are too low in this essential component.

Quinoa is not simply a fibre provider, it also is a good source of phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Being gluten-free the presence of Quinoa in the formulation may also assist digestion. Apple, Bilberry, Raspberry Leaf, Carrot and Lemon Peel: Pigment providers and natural flavour enhancers.

The combination of the above five ingredients provide an extra fortification of valuable pigments including caretenoids and anthocyaninin pigments to deliver additional antioxidant support. These ingredients also provide simple and natural flavour enhancements – we think you’ll find Green Qi better tasting than you might expect! A powerful addition to the Neways Nutritional range Green Qi fits perfectly into our Nutritional range and neatly fills a gap in our European portfolio for a superfood formula.

Reports such as Datamonitor suggest that consumers’ awareness of the benefits of foods deemed good for them is increasing, and a growing proportion of European and US consumers are actively taking steps to eat and drink more healthily. Green Qi can be taken with Neways’ nutritional supplements and, as we always recommend, works best in combination with, and not instead of, a healthy and balanced diet.

It can be  simply mixed with water, your favourite Neways liquid nutritional product, and could even be added to your regular meals such as soups, yoghurts and sauces!

Green Qi is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
