Winter Health and Wellness Information with Herbalife

Winter often brings higher risks of colds and flu, making immune support a common focus. Herbalife offers products specifically aimed at this:

• Immunity Essentials (Product names may vary by region): This product is formulated with ingredients like EpiCor® (a dried fermentate) and essential micronutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc, all of which are commonly recognized for supporting immune function.

• Vritilife Immune Health (Available in some regions, based on Ayurvedic principles): Contains extracts of traditional herbs like Kalmegh, Tulasi, and Kutaki which are traditionally used to support the immune system.²

2. Daily Core Nutrition

Maintaining a balanced intake of essential nutrients is foundational for year-round health, including winter:

• Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix: A meal replacement that provides a balance of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.³ Used as a quick, nutritious meal, it can help ensure you don't skip meals or opt for less healthy "comfort foods."

• Formula 2 Multivitamin Mineral and Herbal Tablets:⁴ Designed to provide a comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals to complement a daily diet, which is especially important if less fresh produce is consumed in winter.

• Protein Powder: High-protein foods are mentioned by Herbalife experts as "warming" because they increase diet-induced thermogenesis (heat production during digestion) more than starchy or fatty foods.⁵ Using protein powder in shakes, oatmeal, or even warm soups can help with this.

3. Hydration and Warmth

Staying hydrated is important even when you don't feel as thirsty as in summer.⁶ Herbalife's tips and products include:

• Afresh Energy Drink Mix: Contains green tea extract and natural caffeine.⁷ Can be consumed as a warm beverage, serving as a replacement for high-sugar drinks and helping to maintain hydration. Flavors like Kashmiri Kahwa, Ginger, and Cinnamon may feel particularly warming.

• Warm Teas and Soups: Herbalife experts suggest turning to warm teas and soups (which can be fortified with low-fat protein powder) to help hydrate and keep air passages moisturized.⁸

General Winter Wellness Advice (often aligned with Herbalife philosophy):

• Eat for Immunity: Focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.⁹ Herbalife products can supplement the diet to ensure adequate intake of nutrients like Vitamin C and Zinc.¹⁰

• Stay Active: Regular exercise boosts mood and circulation.¹¹ Herbalife offers products for Fitness & Performance to support energy and recovery for indoor or outdoor workouts.¹²

• Prioritize Sleep: Adequate rest (7-9 hours) is crucial for immune function.¹³

• Catch Some Sun/Supplement Vitamin D: Since sun exposure is limited, experts recommend considering a Vitamin D supplement to support bones, mood, and immune function.¹⁴

Disclaimer: It's important to remember that Herbalife products are supplements and should not replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.¹⁵ Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.
