Hi again!
Well, it's almost March, which is our usual Isagenix Celebration month, and if you are not going you'll miss out! Hehehe! I can bring you some of the news highlights in upcoming Updates, but that's about only a quarter of the total experience. I can tell who has been and who hasn't been to a Celebration, because attending a Celebration changes your Isagenix Belief System. Not to mention the FABULOUS people you meet and become lifetime friends with. That's how we grow and develop as people, isn't it? If you are not there this year, will you please try to get along next year? Of course, I'll be plugging the dates as soon as I can so you can mark those days out in your Diary for 2014. Pauline and I usually book a week in a Resort near wherever the Celebration is held and make a holiday out of it. Even a weekend break for your partner and kids is worth thinking about. Plan now!
Anyway, here's the highlights in today's IsaOz Update:-
In this issue, we have a look as some health concerns. Remembering that Isagenix is just FOOD, we cannot make medical claims unless they are authorised by Isagenix, this time we look at keeping a HEALTHY HEART
-
According to Dr Colgan, Chocolate is good for both your heart and your brain. I would also add, emotions, so I'm happy to read what Dr Colgan has to say in his article CHOCOLATE FOR YOUR HEART AND BRAIN as I munch on a small piece of dark chocolate!
- In this edition's CLEANSE 101 section, Isagenix leader Jacquelyn Shoemake looks at Your Nutritional Cleansing Questions Answered. What is it? Why should use it? Is it safe? and more...
- Continuing our series of 2013 GOALS, this issue we start dealing with ELIMINATING DEBT - basic ideas and issues.
- SUPER SATURDAY - What happened?
- Sorry - this has to be delayed for a future issue: How would you like to get your hands on some of those products the lucky folks on Isagenix in the USA get to use every day? All will be explained in the next IsaOz Update .
Finally, as usual, can I encourage you to forward this Update along to your friends and anyone who might like information about Isagenix? :-) See the link at the end of this Update. |
 HEALTHY HEART
In February this year, Isagenix published an article entitled "A Stronger Heart in 5 Steps with Isagenix" Because this article refers to product not available in Australia, I have modified the original article for the ANZ Market. You may care to read it HERE. |

CHOCOLATE FOR YOUR HEART AND BRAIN
by Michael Colgan, Ph.D
6th December 2011
You just knew that it had to be true. Chocolate is good for you. Since about 2000, controlled studies have shown numerous cardiovascular and brain benefits. Compared with other flavonoid-rich foods such as blueberries, tomatoes, and, my absolute favorite, broccoli, chocolate is the clear winner. Ounce for ounce, dark chocolate (70% cocoa), contains more than 10 times the antioxidant capacity of broccoli. Hmm, there's one reason to declare it a food group right away.

GOAL!
"ELIMINATE DEBT - even if you've racked up huge credit card bills and can't see a time when you'll ever be able to pay them off."
The burning question: How can I get our of Debt?
It could be: Stop doing into debt: Spend less. Then a simple equation: Previous spend - new lower spend = amount used to pay off debt.
Sounds simple, but probably in reality it's not that simple. At least, not in my experience. Emotions, knowing about credit cards and credit scores, discipline in money management are some extra issues you have to either overcome or put into practice. Not easy!
Whatever you do, the first thing is understanding it. Then you need to take action.
I found a really easy to understand explanation on line which made sense to me. In seven steps you can see what it is to
- Use common sense
- Stop impulse-buying
- Develop a plan
- Research money-saving options
- Take action
- Don't close credit card accounts
- Always pay on time
Next time we'll look at how you can save and make money :-)

Most people do NOT drink enough water! So they actually reduce the opportunity for tremendous health benefits, sometimes to the extent of even throwing away the migraine medicine or pain killer. Incredible as it may seem, though, water is the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off!
Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat.
Studies (some are referenced below) have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase!
And an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits!

FACEBOOK
Have you thought about joining any of these groups?Just search FB for these groups and ask to join:
Spring Cleansing 2012 - 3.369 members (Sample: I've got a chiropractor looking at Isa but she is skeptical about the way it seems processed. Having a hard time believing its a live food. I've talked to her about the cold processed info but wondering if anyone has more info or good resources I could provide her with??)Isabody Accountability Group - 16,082 members (Sample: Need recipes to change up the chocolate shakes for a cleanser on my team. She finds it easy to change the vanilla but is getting bored with the chocolate. She adds greens sometimes....what "outside of" Isagenix can she do to the chocolate?)Isa MS (for people with MS) - 192 members (Sample: I am recently seeing neurologists for a positive MRI. But I have been diagnosed with other auto-immune deficiencies...battling for years. And I am under immune suppressors as well. I will begin using Isagenix next week. Looking for a change in my health. Thank you once more)John Anderson, Isagenix Founder - 4,769 members (Sample: Here's a copy of our 7th call for our 90-Day Group Cleanse... Today's call was all about those cleanse days and getting through them with grace & ease! - ) isaMasterminds Group - 5,545 members (Sample: Hi I have a question. I have a friend interested in starting this amazing program. She told me she has Wolff parkinson white syndrome. Do u think anything will effect her?)Isagenix Super Stars! - 143 members (Sample: heaps of posts be Dr Michael Colgan)Isagenix Australia / Global - 47 members (Sample: Did You Know ? 16 Reasons To Have Daily Sex?)IsaBoomers and Beyond - 100 members (Sample: Here is a good question to find out the answer to.. When we work with olders, say over 70 or 80, can they do a 2 day cleanse? Should they follow a 30 day program or a modified version?)IsaAthletes - 4,896 members (Sample; My trainer is doing her first cleanse and she is convinced it's not meant for, as she states it, "fit pros". She goes on to say, " We require so much from our bodies physically on a daily basis. I think the lack of sugar needed for muscle repair combined with the stress of the cleanse, just kills us." She is super achy and tired on day 6. She is close to giving up. I know Isagenix will be great for her if she just gives it a chance! Any advice on what to tell her from an athlete standpoint? Thanks!)These groups are fantastic for learning answers to questions and problems other Isagenix members maybe just like you may be asking.

(Today's Humour)
Big Bang Theory
Recipe for
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1.) 532.35 ml starch/cellulose fiber/gluten compound
2.) 4.9 ml NaHCO3
3.) 4.9 ml refined NaCl
4.) 236.6 ml partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5.) 177.45 ml crystalline C12H22O11
6.) 177.45 ml unrefined C12H22O11
7.) 4.9 ml methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8.) Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated
embryonic gestation units (remove coating first)
9.) 473.2 ml theobroma cacao
10.) 236.6 ml de-encapsulated deciduous legume meats (sieve size #10) Method: To a 2-liter jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-l reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous. To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Afterward, add ingredients nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. WARNING: Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction involving the product mixture. Using a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture in a series of approximately equal apportionments on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm), spacing the nodules on 54.5mm (8mm) centers. Heat in a 769K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown (albedo 7.9 1 on the Ractageno scale). Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium before dispensing.
