There was a time when “being active” was synonymous with “having fun.”   However, today it seems that most adults have a hard time making time for exercise. Eighty percent of Americans do not get the recommended amount of exercise each week¹.  There are a variety of reasons that this can occur including lack of energy, a busy schedule, and joint discomfort.  At Nu Skin we recognize that being physically active is an important component of living young and enjoying life to the fullest. We offer a variety of products and programs that can make physical activity more enjoyable and can provide you with a better understanding of why being active is so important!

Exercise, One of the Most Important Things for Your Health

The Center for Disease Control reports that regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It can help with weight management, heart health, blood sugar regulation, bone and muscle strength, improved mental health, and more².  Finding time in your busy schedule to incorporate physical activity may seem like a daunting task for some. Fortunately there are many ways to be active, and with the help of Nu Skin’s products, you may find that it’s easier than you expected to achieve your goals.

Supporting Your Physical Activity Goals

Gene expression can impact whether your body stores or burns fat and can help support lean muscle maintenance—a key tissue to health metabolism even when your body is at rest. TR90 can help you achieve the transformation you’re striving for.*

Overdrive

Overdrive provides a blend of nutrients to promote normal energy metabolism during exercise and supports post-exercise muscle recovery. In addition to these benefits, Overdrive also helps combat free radical exposure that is normally created during exercise.*

Nutrient Blend Includes:

• A full range of B-complex vitamins which provide nutrients that help in converting carbohydrates, protein, and fat into usable energy.

• Antioxidants which protect cells against the increased free radical production during exercise.

• Proteolytic enzymes which target post-exercise muscle recovery, which may help to alleviate muscle discomfort.

   

  Overdrive is designed to be taken before you exercise to help fortify your body with nutrients to power through your workout, and after to replenish the nutrients used up during exercise. Because Overdrive is used in conjunction with your exercise session, you do not need to take it on days that you don’t exercise.

   

Cartilage Formula, FlexCrème, Marine Omega:

If joint discomfort is stopping you from being physically active, any combination of these products can help you maintain joint mobility.

• FlexCrème - Use for immediate relief from stiff joints or to temporarily relieve muscle stiffness.

• Cartilage Formula - Delivers glucosamine and other ingredients to support joint comfort.

• MarineOmega - Offers important fatty acids that tend to be deficient in most Western diets. These fatty acids have been shown in numerous studies to support joint function by balancing the body’s natural inflammatory process.

Although it can take several weeks to recognize the joint benefits of Cartilage Formula and MarineOmega, they provide excellent long-term joint benefits to complement the immediate, but shorter term benefits of FlexCrème.

Being physically active is one of the best things you can do for your health. So set goals, be creative, and find ways to live young with Pharmanex dietary supplements. ■
