Enjoy the Sun and Healthier Skin with Isagenix

This May practice safe sun in honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, pay mind to your health by maintaining your skin. With more than two million Americans diagnosed with skin cancer every year, and numbers on the rise in youth, now is not the time to feel the burn. Seeking shade and wearing wide-brimmed hats and protective clothing are the first lines of defense against a scorching summer.

Welcoming the summer sun is no small feat; along with the warmer weather comes beach vacations, bikinis and an elevated pressure to get in shape. Beyond just the body, the skin must get ready to make some waves too. Fortunately, the summer sunshine doesn’t have to take a toll on your complexion.

Diving into skin protection early may keep elasticity and ensure your skin is always looking radiant. Along with protective sunscreen, diet can be a pre-emptive measure to promote your skin’s elastic tone and offset ultraviolet (UV) exposure. In line with the current research and in celebration of this month of May, here are five Isagenix do’s to avoid summer-skin don’ts: Continue reading →

Telomerase Stimulation Extends Lifespan in Mice

Stimulation of telomerase safely extends lifespan in mice, a new study shows.

In a landmark study demonstrating “proof of principle” of the feasibility and safety of “slowing or turning back the clock,” Spanish researchers gave aged mice a single treatment to stimulate genetic expression of telomerase that extended health and lifespan by up to 24 percent.

These new results serve as yet more validation of research performed by Isagenix Founder John Anderson in partnership with molecular biologist Bill Andrews, Ph.D., on inducing the expression of telomerase in humans with natural compounds for healthier aging and greater longevity. This research is what led to the creation of Isagenix product, Product B.

Although previous research has long suggested telomerase expression would maximize the potential for cells to replicate, Maria Blasco, Ph.D., and fellow researchers from the Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO) showed unequivocally that increasing this enzyme in aging mice improves health and extends lifespan safely without any increase in rates of cancer.

Spring Cleanse Your Way to Swimsuit Season and Better Health

Want a jumpstart to wellness before bikini season? A spring "cleanse" helps in five ways

It’s that time of year where many people are sprucing up their home or wardrobe, but it’s also the perfect time to spruce up your health and body by cleansing with Isagenix.

Nature’s Answer to Stress

An essential part of staying healthy is managing chronic stress.

Everyone knows what it’s like to feel “stressed” or “threatened.” Stress sparks a surge of physiological changes in the body. Breathing quickens and the heart pumps harder. Pupils dilate, hair stands on end, and sweat glands open. Senses sharpen and so does judgment because the brain knows that this is the moment when it’s time to fight or to flee.

Stress is a normal part of being human. However, its very existence is one of duality as savior and killer. Few of us realize how stress affects our physiology—hence the reason why April is Stress Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about how stress makes an impact on our health.

Stress comes in two different packages: sudden stress (acute) and ongoing stress (chronic). Acute stressors are those perceptions of immediate threat or dangers. They bring the mental acuity, physical stamina, adrenaline, and the hormone cascade that prepares your body for “fight or flight.” But stress becomes chronic when it’s a constant factor and it can take a heavy toll on our health.

Ageless Skin: Renewing Beauty through Science

Changing the way skin ages is possible, thanks to advances in science.

As the skin ages (largely from accumulated harm from sun exposure, environmental aggressors, eating a poor diet, and time), the rate of skin cell turnover begins to slow down. That means less creation of new, healthy skin. With a greater understanding of how the skin ages, scientists are continuing to develop better technologies to stimulate its self-renewal.

Medical-esthetician Marilyn Territo, CE, CM, a member of the Isagenix Scientific Advisory Board, explains that scientists have now developed conditioned media rich in epidermal growth factors, matrix proteins, and cell-signaling proteins called cytokines. When combined in a special serum, Territo says these can provide the “raw constituents” that  “skin cells need to thrive.” Continue reading →
