Why You Should Consider Eating The Herbalife Products


Below is an extract from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Department of Health and Human services.
Since the mid-seventies, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased sharply for both adults and children. Data from two NHANES surveys show that among adults aged 20–74 years the prevalence of obesity increased from 15.0% (in the 1976–1980 survey) to 32.9% (in the 2003–2004 survey).

The two surveys also show increases in overweight among children and teens. For children aged 2–5 years, the prevalence of overweight increased from 5.0% to 13.9%; for those aged 6–11 years, prevalence increased from 6.5% to 18.8%; and for those aged 12–19 years, prevalence increased from 5.0% to 17.4%.
These increasing rates raise concern because of their implications for Americans’ health. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of many diseases and health conditions, including the following:
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint)
  • Dyslipidemia (for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides)
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
  • Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)
  • Overweight and obesity are also symptoms of, poor eating and lifestyle habits, poor nutrition and vitamin-deficient diet.

    Protein Snacks
    By David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.N.
    Chairman of the Herbalife Nutrition and Scientific Advisory Boards

    It is well established that the typical person eating a western type diet consumes more daily calories than he
    needs. High-calorie snacks filled with fats and sugars contribute to these extra calories. Protein packed bars,
    drinks, soups, and nuts are far superior to other snacks because of the inherent differences between protein and
    sugars and fats.

    First off, protein is more satisfying than the other two macronutrients because of specific signals it sends to the
    brain. When we snack on protein instead of sugars and fats, the body feels more full which helps people control
    their appetite between meals, thus cutting calories and controlling their weight. Recent clinical research has
    supported this physiologic phenomenon.

    A second reason for choosing protein as a snack is its thermogenic effect. This refers to the metabolic tax a food
    puts on the body after we eat it. This metabolic tax for protein is much higher than sugar or fat because the body
    uses more energy to digest it. This means that when you choose protein over the other two, you are burning more
    calories during the process of digestion. Having this higher tax rate is good because protein tends to be low in
    caloric content, so the body is working harder on fewer calories.


    A third reason to choose protein snacks over sugars and fats is the body's need to replenish the building blocks of
    muscle tissue. Muscle is important for our daily activities and it determines our metabolism. So the more we
    maintain our healthy lean muscle mass, the higher we maintain metabolism.

    So the next time you reach for a snack, choose a protein-rich bar, drink, or soup. Avoid high-calorie chips, cookies,
    candies and sweets. They are generally much higher in calories, and they offer little nutritional value to the body.
