WHY SLEEP?

When you sleep, the body is resting, repairing, and regenerating itself from the stress of life. Proper and adequate sleep can help you regenerate and revitalize yourself each day. This can be considered anti-aging.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During sleep the body is resting the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system's main activity is during daytime cycles, such as flight or fight responses, increasing heart rate, and so on. During sleep the parasympathetic system is more active. It is involved with digestion, sleep, and other activities that occur primarily during sleep cycles. During sleep your body is regenerating from the stress of daytime activity.

During sleep your body is recovering from the stress of life. Without adequate and proper sleep, you may not fully recover from each day's activities. You may feel fine on a few hours sleep, but this does not mean your body is not stressed by lack of adequate and proper sleep. For example, a smoker usually does not get side effects such as cancer or lung diseases, until they have been smoking 30 years or longer. So if a smoker has been smoking 25 years and still does not have side effects, this does not mean he is healthy despite smoking. The stress of improper sleep may not show up right away, but it is additional stress to the body nevertheless.

Your body has a sleep cycle. A brain chemical called serotonin usually starts off the sleep cycle, leading to the production of the hormone called melatonin. Shortly after melatonin is produced, deep sleep should occur for about 4-5 hours, During deep sleep growth hormone is active and helping to regenerate your body. The last 2-3 hours of sleep are much lighter and involve the cycles of the sexual hormones such as testosterone. The sexual hormone cycles are active about the time you are waking up. Thus based on the body's normal hormonal activity during sleep, you should be averaging about 7-7 and ½ hours of sleep. If you are averaging less sleep then you are limiting the time you are recovering from the stress of life. This can add additional stress to your body each day. Additionally improper and inadequate sleep does not support the primary hormones active while you sleep. The hormones are the chemical messengers of the body and are vital to your health. Stressing vital hormones by improper sleep is not a healthy activity

Stress is what can cause aging, degeneration, breakdown, and death. If you spend many days of your life with improper and inadequate sleep, this is accumulative stress happening each time to your body. This will not help you to regenerate and revitalize yourself each day from the stress of living. IF you are sleeping only a few hours a night consider methods to help you develop deep sleep and adequate refreshing sleep.

Vitamist Core Four

VitaMist's Core Four

With the VitaMist Core Four We have put together the 4 key sprays that fit into everyone's supplementation program.

Multiple

VitaMist® Multiple combines essential vitamins and minerals into one, easy to use, convenient product. Although most nutritionists may still recommend getting your nutrients from a well-balanced diet, it is now generally accepted that this is no longer possible and so all Americans are urged to take a daily multiple vitamin supplement.

Colloidal Minerals
VitaMist Colloidal Minerals provides more than 70 different minerals that originate from pure and natural sources, in each and every dose. VitaMist Colloidal Minerals contains those minerals that we need in minute, or trace, amounts. These minerals can no longer be found in our depleted, nutrient starved soils, but we need them for the optimum functioning of normal cellular processes within the body.

C+Zinc
A healthy immune system is the key to a healthy body, and VitaMist C+Zinc provides two nutrients that are essential for building and maintaining a strong immune system. Vitamin C is a nutrient that the human body is unable to store, so a regular supply must be obtained from our diet and our supplements. The combination of vitamin C with zinc, together with the unique delivery system, makes VitaMist C+Zinc a pivotal member of the Core.

B12
It is impossible to say enough about the importance to the human body of vitamin B12. As a component of the Core - 4, B12 helps provide the essential vitamin B12 everyone needs to stay at their peak. Vitamin B12 is known to be involved in the synthesis of DNA and red blood cells and it is vitally important in maintaining the health of the insulation sheath (myelin sheath) that surrounds nerve cells. Our absorption of vitamin B12 declines markedly with age and many age-related disorders have been attributed to a deficiency of this crucial vitamin

The Power of Folacin

The Importance of FOLACIN

For some reason, folic acid has to be one of the most underrated vitamins around, but it is a key member of the vitamin B complex, and it deserves some respect. Not a month goes by without some report appearing on the benefits of folic acid. Not only that, but recently these reports have stressed the additional benefits of vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 when used in combination with folic acid - just like the combination we have in VitaMist FOLACIN. Many of these articles have associated folic acid with a reduced risk of colon cancer and cardiovascular disease, and, in combination with vitamin B12, folic acid may even have a connection to Alzheimer's disease.

Back in 1992, the US Public Health Service recommended that all women of childbearing age who could potentially become pregnant should take 400 mcg of folic acid every day, either through diet or supplementation. Adequate amounts of folic acid reduce the occurrence of birth defects, such as spina bifida, which affects the spine and spinal cord, and anencephaly, a lethal disorder affecting the brain and skull.

Then in 1996, the FDA, a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services authorized the use on labels and in the labeling of food, including dietary supplements, of health claims on the association between adequate intake of folate and the risk of neural tube birth defects. This was followed in 1997 by mandatory addition of folic acid to all enriched cereal grains.

Perhaps the most exciting development has been the relationship between homocysteine levels (associated with risk factors in heart disease) and folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. For example, a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that intake of folic acid and vitamin B6 may be important in the prevention of coronary heart disease among women. The evidence is so strong that the American Heart Association has issued an advisory suggesting that those with a history of heart disease make sure that they consume the RDA of vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folic acid.

Is there a downside? NO! All the current evidence suggests that there is no danger of consuming too much folic acid.

The ingredients (per 8 sprays):
Folic Acid 800 mcg 200% DV
Vitamin B6 4 mg 200% DV
Vitamin B12 6 mcg 100% DV

These ingredients are blended with bioflavonoids extracted from rose hips along with a delicious peppermint-orange flavor.

ARE YOU STRESSED??

Are you STRESSED?

Do you feel run-down and tired all the time? Do you find there are never enough hours in the day? You have deadlines to meet, children to raise, pressure from your job, ... it all adds up to - STRESS

It's well known that when the body suffers stress, crucial nutrients and vitamins are rapidly depleted. That's why taking vitamins in times of stress helps to ensure that minimal harm is caused to the body.

People who have poor nutritional intake and suffer a great deal of stress will almost certainly succumb to diseases due to a compromised immune system.

When under stress, your body needs a range of B vitamins - these are what are known as the B-complex vitamins, which includes such things as vitamin B6, B12, folic acid, and so on.
Studies have shown that people who suffer a lot of stress tend to have lower levels of these vitamins in their system...and a deficiency in any of these can actually lead to depression, abnormal nerve function, and irritability.

Vitamins C and E, two well known antixoidants, are also known to be rapidly deleted when the body is enduring stress.

VitaMist® D-Stress contains these important vitamins as well as extracts of herbs known for their calming properties.

Product Info

•Don't let stress be a fact of life!
•VitaMist D-Stress - fast and effective
•Unique combination of B-complex vitamins with calming herbal extract

The Power of Sleep

The Power of Sleep:
Some doctors consider sleep as the forth key ingredient in health (the other three are nutrition, exercise and relaxation). The trouble is that many people minimize the benefits of sleep and the essential properties it brings to our ability to produce and perform at our top level. Additionally, researchers have found that irregular and disrupted sleep and stress can increase the risk for depression and anxiety.
These problems may also have direct influence over the immune system and increase the risk for heart disease. It is impossible for stressed executives and business owners not to carry their worries and concerns to their sleep and because they can't relax and re-energize throughout the course of the night, they wake up tired and exhausted, unable to focus, further prolonging the negative cycle.
In short: they are stressed out during the course of the day and stressed out during the course of the night.

Don't ever minimize the importance of sleep!

Here are some helpful tips:

1) Go to bed around the same time every night: Creating a healthy habit is of essence. Our circadian cycle is primed to sleep at night. If you were "trained" to sleep at night as a child, it will be easier for you to implement this healthy habit. Sleep habits change during adolescent years and our body requires less sleep as we age. The better habits we create during good times will enable us to be resilient during tough times.

2) Sleep six to eight hours every night: The best sleep times are during the night. Those who hold night jobs usually struggle with other cycle problems, including eating habits or managing stress. You may need to stay awake longer hours because of your job or may be conducting business across continents. Either way, ensure you get good sleep at least 5 out of 7 nights of the week. Although you can catch up over a weekend, nothing beats the good habit of sleeping well every night.

3) Avoid watching television or reading "activating" programs, books or magazines at night: Avoid reading or watching any material that would keep your mind going. Instead, try "light" reading as you transition to bed.

4) VitaMist Sleep: The perfect help - no "hung-over" feeling in the morning; no habit-forming drugs. Just calming and relaxing natural ingredients.
