Greetings to our e-mail health newsletter subscribers!

Once again, we are passing along Amy and Bob's, newsletter. We have also added a new feature called "The Mineral Minute" (placed at the bottom of the letter-you won't want to miss it). We will try to feature a different mineral each month, to help educate our readers on the incredible importance of minerals to our health (this is something you probably won't hear from your doctor).

We provide this newsletter to you in the hopes that you will learn something and that you will be able to reach a goal of better health. No one knows our bodies like we do, therefore it is imperative that we take charge of our own health now. The medical profession is great and we certainly need them, however, many physicians are in the practice of treating conditions (with drugs and surgery) instead of preventing the conditions in the first place. Remember as Ben Franklin said, "an ounce of prevention" is worth a pound of cure". For anywhere from pennies to a few dollars a day, you could start to feel better, have more energy, less pain, live longer and healthier lives, if you start supplementing with natural nutritional products NOW!

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

HEALTH NEWSLETTER -- April / May 1997 AMY AND BOB'S LIFE PLUS NEWSLETTER MBM Distributors April 18, 1997

Hello!

Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia! Spring has officially begun and it's great to see things begin to grow. This seems like most people's favorite season. After being indoors for several months, it's great to stretch out and move around again.

Hope everyone has a great April!

Amy & Bob

HEALTH BYTES:

JOGGING SHOE INFO -- If your running shoes tend to wear out quickly, look for a pair with a polyethylene base. This material wears better than other shoe materials.

WORKOUT BLUES? -- To stay physically and mentally challenged by your workout, change to a different routine four to six times a year.

TAKE IT EASY -- If you've had a knee injury or suffer chronic knee pain: avoid leg extensions except with very light weights; don't take big steps on a stair climber; don't run on a steep downhill grade; and adjust your bicycle seat so your knees bend only slightly at the bottom of each stroke.

GET YOUR VITAMINS -- One kiwi supplies more dietary fiber than a bowl of bran flakes. It also has generous amounts of potassium and vitamin C.

STRETCH!! -- Many common sports-related injuries can be prevented. To prevent muscle pulls: warm up before your workout and stretch afterward; don't bounce while stretching.

To prevent stress fractures: do complete warm-ups and cool downs. To prevent shin-splints: Wear well-cushioned shoes with arch supports. If possible, exercise on wood, grass, or another soft surface.

ACHOO! -- To reduce your exposure to indoor allergens: Change or clean your cooling and heating system filters once a month. Reduce the humidity in damp areas by using a dehumidifier set between 25% and 50%. Wash floors and molding frequently. Replace wallpaper that shows traces of mold.

FOR PARENTS -- One study found children had large vocabularies if their families discussed a broad range of topics at mealtimes.

ANOTHER PARENTING TIP -- Encouraging your child to maintain a consistent bedtime may pay off in the classroom, according to a recent study of high school students.

Those who reported earning mainly A's and B's went to bed earlier on both week nights and weekends than those who received D's and F's, and the high achievers averaged about 35 minutes more sleep per day than the low achievers.

Well, that does it for now. If at any time you do not wish to receive this newsletter, just e-mail us, and we will be happy to take your name off the list. Just let us know. If you like the newsletter, we'd like to hear that too! We don't pretend to be professional writers, but we do our best. Thanks again, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you and God bless you and your health,

Amy and Bob

Addendum:
THE MINERAL MINUTE - featuring MAGNESIUM:

Minerals are so important to our health. The body utilizes over 80 minerals for maximum function. Since our soils are so depleted, even if we eat the healthiest foods, we are not getting all the minerals we need. If we don't supplement with good quality colloidal minerals, we can actually be suffering from "mineral malnutrition". Colloidal minerals should be used because they are non-toxic and the most easily absorbed by the body. Most "cheap" supplements contain only a few minerals (less than 20) and are usually in the metallic form (which the body can't use).

The results of mineral malnutrition are premature aging, declining health and degenerative diseases. Many common "lethal" health conditions (osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer, etc.) could be prevented with proper mineral nutrition. The more you learn about the benefits of minerals, the more you will be able to take charge of your own health. This month's featured mineral is Magnesium!

Magnesium is a key substance in the proper functioning of nerves and muscles. It is also needed for the healthy maintenance of bones. Magnesium is often coupled with Calcium in supplements because of its synergistic effects (it helps the body absorb the calcium better). It also helps protect the atrial lining from the stress of sudden blood pressure changes.

Magnesium deficiency may play a major role in some cases of angina - it has been shown to produce spasms of the coronary arteries and is thought to be a cause of non-occlusive heart attacks. It has also been found that people dying suddenly from heart attacks have a much lower level of heart magnesium as well as potassium than matched controls.

Heart Attack Tip: Did you know that if magnesium is introduced into the IV of a heart attack victim as soon as possible, he has a 60% better chance of surviving than without?

Other conditions which appear in people who have lowered magnesium levels (magnesium deficiency): Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Diabetes, Hypertension, Kidney stones, Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), Osteoporosis, and Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) to name a few.
