Whatever your health concerns may be, RBC Life Sciences has answers for you. Below are some tips on how to deal with three of today's top mental and emotional health issues: memory loss, stress and lack of energy. There is also a section on supplements that will help keep your body performing optimally, because a healthy body is a happy body!

Tired of Forgetting Things?
Improve Your Memory with I.Q.

Often forgetfulness is an indication that your body isn't getting the nutrients it needs. One of the nutrients essential for brain function is DHA. It is vital to the maintenance of effective brain function throughout life. Unfortunately, the average American's diet is low in DHA. I.Q. is a safe, effective way for people of all ages to replenish levels of DHA in the blood.

Coping with Stress

Everybody has stress. Deadlines at work. Traffic. Busy schedules. Crying babies.

It takes only a fraction of a second for stress to set off a chain reaction that affects your whole body. The response begins in the brain, where the hypothalamus releases a fight-or-flight chemical called Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone (CRH). CRH travels to our pituitary gland, which then travels to our adrenal glands. The result is adrenaline-a powerful stimulant. In an instant your thyroid speeds up, breathing becomes rapid and shallow, digestion slows, muscles tense and blood sugar can rise.

The good news: As soon as you feel calmer, your body begins to repair the problems caused by short-term stress. But if you have constant stress, the affects on your health can be long-term.
It is everywhere ... and it is shortening our lives. Almost everything we do these days adds to our level of stress. So what can we do to lower our stress levels?

The best way to reduce stress is by giving your body what it needs. RBC Life Sciences has developed natural products that work to give your body the relief it craves.

When you don't get a good night's sleep, you tend to be more susceptible to the effects of stress. Take Melatonin Plus™ before you go to bed. It boosts the level or your body's natural melatonin-which is responsible for regulating your sleep-wake cycles-giving you a better more restful night's sleep.

Stress Pack is a balanced blend of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other powerful ingredients like Spirulina. It is designed to improve your mood and increase your energy while replenishing your body with the nutrients that it needs.

Green Gold and Spirulina are two more RBC products that help relieve stress through the bodies' natural processes.

A Better Night's Sleep
Your Guide to Getting all the ZZZs you need

Better Sleep = Better Health

You're always hearing about improving your health through diet and nutrition, but don't forget the importance of a good night's sleep.

One hour and six minutes. That's how much the average adult falls short of the needed sleep each work-week night, according to the National Sleep Foundation. We should be getting a full eight hours of sleep per night, say experts. Instead, we're getting less than seven hours.

Why aren't Americans getting enough sleep? A recent poll found that many people just aren't sleeping well. Fifty-eight percent said suffered from symptoms of insomnia, including difficulty falling asleep, trouble staying asleep or waking up too early.

Anxiety, stress, depression, disease, poor sleep habits, pain, hormone changes and certain medication can trigger boughts of insomnia. Working long hours and frequent travel across time zones can also disrupt your sleep patterns.

The result? People who don't get enough sleep suffer from depression. In addition, lack of sleep can hinder the function of the immune system and may be unhealthy for the heart.

The first step to help you get enough zzz's is to banish bad sleep habits. Try to go to bed relaxed. Take a warm bath with Bath Salts with Microhydrin^® or listen to calming music. Also make sure you are going to bed around the same time every night. If you have trouble sleeping you should also avoid strenuous workouts within three hours of bedtime and skip the nightcaps, cigarettes and caffeine. All of these can cause you to toss and turn at night.

In addition to these lifestyle changes, you can try a natural sleep aid. Melatonin Plus™ will boost your body's natural melatonin levels for better rest. Produced by the brain's pineal gland and released into the bloodstream at night, melatonin helps regulate our sleep-wake cycles.

Take Melatonin Plus 30 minutes before going to bed and you will sleep better at night and feel great all day!

In addition to Melatonin Plus, these nutritional products can also help you sleep like a baby:

MagiCal^® - Many RBC customers have reported that taking MagiCal with their evening meal helps them get a good night's sleep.

Stress Pack - Often people lay awake at night worrying about the stress in their life. The vitamins and minerals in Stress Pack help promote a healthy, more peaceful mind. When your body has the nutrients it needs, this helps you stay calm-and when you're calm, you get a better night's sleep.

Optimum Nutrition for Optimum Health

If you want your body to perform its best, you need to give it the nutrition it needs.

Program Two - In order to have optimal health, you must keep your body clean. Program Two is designed to rid your body of the toxins that can damage your health. In just two weeks your health can be turned around with Program Two.

Spirulina - is often called nature's perfect food. This "high-octane" SuperFood provides nutrients that power your body and rejuvenate your mind. It is an excellent source of protein and also contains lots of beneficial vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

I.Q.™ - provides your body with something that everyone needs-DHA. This essential nutrient is required for brain function and visual development. It also helps improve your mental clarity and helps to protect heart health. If you don't consume fatty fish several times a week, you may be deficient in DHA. Add I.Q.™ to your regimen and see what a difference it can make.
