Did you know?


DID YOU KNOW?

Illness and disease are escalating at an alarming rate…arthritis, asthma, fibromyalgia, ME, CFS, osteoporosis, depression, migraine, obesity, allergies, Alzheimers, multiple chemical sensitivity…..
Cancer rates have increased. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will get cancer in their lifetime.
50% die from premature heart disease. So we need to take care of ourselves.

DID YOU KNOW?

18 cultures routinely live to over 100 in good health.
What are they doing that we are not?
How is their lifestyle and environment different?


FAMILY HISTORY

The escalation in illness and disease can’t be due to family history alone.
Our genes couldn’t have changed so much in such a short time. Environmental factors are more important and we have control over many of these.

Looks Amazing have some great products to help with some of the above, check out our webite!

Nutrients, Vitamins and Minerals


NUTRITION. WE ARE WHAT WE EAT

Dr Linus Pauling said…..”Every illness and disease can be traced to a mineral deficiency”.

WITHOUT MINERALS,  VITAMINS CANNOT BE ABSORBED.
WE NO LONGER GET THE NUTRITION WE NEED FROM OUR FOOD.

  • Mineral values in the soil are declining.
  • Intensive farming and modern storage methods.
  • We need over 60 minerals every day.
  • As we age we are less able to absorb nutrients.
ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS

A good mineral solution, with vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and antioxidants to supplement our diet.
  • Even more important if you are unwell.
  • Nutrients need to be taken together.
  • Minerals must be plant derived.
  • Must be in a form the body can use.
  • Must be free from toxins and contaminants.
  • You need in order for healthy skin treatment.
MINERALS
VITAL FOR GOOD HEALTH.

  • Bio available.
  • Contains all nutrients in the right balance.
  • Free from contaminants.
  • Removes toxic heavy metals from cells.
  • Minerals supply energy, support the immune system, gives you energy and allows everything to work as it should.

Neways Green Qi®

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


An organic Superfood for a Super 2009

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.

Neways Green Qi®
Usage Instructions: Mix ¼ scoop (4g) Neways Green Qi in
200ml of water or juice, one to three times a day before a
meal.
