Dear Friends,

It is with much passion that I’m writing, updating and organizing this information to share with you. My desk and all available space has been literally covered with the latest research as well as the timeless ‘golden oldies’ of protein information, stories, and how that translates into the dietary guidelines and grams per pound of desired body weight for today, both for the sedentary and for the very active.

Did you know that we lose 5-10 lbs. of muscle every decade if we’re not doing strength training? Wayne Wescott, B.S., M.S. Phys. Ed, PSU and Ph.D from Ohio State.

Dr Wayne Campbell adds: If you’re between 50 – 80 years of age, you need 50% more protein than the RDA just to maintain. 25% more protein above the RDA if you’re younger.

I invite you to journey with me. Let’s get informed and get vibrantly healthy together.Ever hear the story of the little boy who’s grandfather instructs him on how to skip a stone across water? As the ripples are being created the Grandfather explains how we are like those ripples. Each ripple has an effect on the next. Likewise, our vibrations that we set forth into the Universe have an affect on many.

And the better we feel, the happier we are and that can be contagious!

Let’s be contagious together.

I’m smiling at you,

:o) Linda

The word ‘protein’ from Greek, literally means of ‘first importance.’ The ‘building blocks’ of protein are the amino acids. What is vitally important is the amino acid content of the protein. The key to our body’s ability to utilize protein is having LIVE amino acids and enzymes.

WHAT IS PROTEIN NEEDED FOR IN OUR BODIES?

Here is just a partial list….. • Essential for growth • Building new tissue • Repairing broken-down tissue • Heat & energy to the body • Makes hormones – the active principle of glands • Makes your skin, hair, muscles, nails, brain, heart, lungs and all other internal organs

CHARACTERISTICS OF PROTEIN DEFICIENCY –

The Story of Protein

Note: These above mentioned symptoms should be discussed with your personal physician. This sheet is distributed for informational purposes.

Mild Protein Deficiency: Pale color – pale complexion Fatigue easily; loss of vitality Low resistance to infection and disease Poor muscle tone (faulty posture) Low blood pressure Pale blood color Slower clotting of blood Stunted growth, abnormal growth growth patterns and possible retardation can occur in the very young All symptoms increase in severity according to amounts of protein deficiency

Severe Protein Deficiency

Water and wastes remain in the body (swelling and puffiness)Enzyme and hormone production decreasesAntibodies produced too slowlySkin becomes shriveled lookingDental cavities increaseBones do not knit well (mend if broken)Tissues mend slowly and scar badlyBlood pressure is abnormal and eraticPersonality changes and early senility may occurLoss of appetite, poor digestion and constipation become apparent

StoriesThomas was 15 mos. old & with another runny nose when Shaklee came into his life. My upline sponsor said, “Linda, you’ve got to give him the Soy Protein everyday – just one tea-spoon”. His nose cleared; his little immune system became stronger.

Roland Oosterhouse suggested for the rest of us dealing with colds, everytime you take some C’s & Alfalfa, take 1 teas. of our Soy Protein – you’ll get better so much faster.

Jim Burke, 12 years as a cancer researcher said: Ross laboratories presented to Purdue U. research showing that ½ cup of soy/day regresses cancer cells.

Dr. Lee Coyne, former professor of exercise physiology & nutritional consultant to Olympic athletes, son had asthma. They had had a beef ranch with freezers filled. It was the protein in our Soy Protein that helped his young teen so much that he qualified for Canada’s Olympic Biathlon team, and later coached that team.

Dr. Jim Scala once commented that a can of this protein was the largest can of wrinkle cream one could buy.

Billy Demong has garnered two World Championship medals and 11 World Cup podiums in 2009 alone. He became the first American ever to win gold in Nordic combined ski-ing event. The 29-year-old took the podium twice at the Vancouver Games—once for the individual 10 km race and once for the 4x5 km team relay. He’s been relying on Shaklee products since he was 17 years old when he became a member of the US Ski Team. “I use Shaklee products exclusively as part of my daily routine.” Billy’s favorite Shaklee prod-ucts: Energy Chews, Vitalizer, and Performance.

Lisa Barta, age 40, IFPA pro figure Miss Universe 2010. Favorite product: Physique. She came back to win this title after recovering from a tragic car accident.

Stronger, faster, and healthier at 55 then he was at 25. Qualified for the National Senior Olympics. That’s my best friend, my husband, Terry Corl. His daily regime includes:Before the morning ride – Energizing soy protein and performance shake, banana, Vitalizer Gold, handful alfalfa, 1 Omegaguard, 2 Nutriferon, 1 Calcium, 1 ZincAfter the morning ride – Physique, hydrating with Performance*Following the afternoon ride – PhysiqueDuring the rides: ½ of a 20 gram Cinch bar per hour of riding

Before bed – Protein drink with other ½ of Vitalizer, 2 B’s, 2 C’s. 1 Calcium, 1 Zinc, 1 Herb-Lax, 1 Omega-guard

*Performance, for example – 5 x 24oz. bottles for a 100 mile ride

Bio: Lee Coyne, Ph.D Exercise Physiology, former professor of exercise physiology and nutrition at the Universities of Calgary, Manitoba, Toledo and Michigan. Former fitness consultant to Canada’s National Hockey Team, The National Alpine Ski Team and selected Canadian Speed Skaters and Canadian Olympic Biathletes. http://www.centralhome.com/ballroomcountry/eat.htm Years ago Lee sat in my office anxious to share research he had just gleaned from Penn State’s Library.* He had notes scribbled in the margins and at lightning fast speed was demonstrating how to calculate the grams of protein necessary to maintain good physical and mental health.

The most updated research indicates protein represents 30% of total calories. Follow with me, if you will, the formula to calculate grams of protein per day.

3000 calories 1500 calories x.30 x.30 900 cal. 450 cal ÷ 4 ÷ 4___

225 gm 112 gm There’s 4 cal/gm of protein, so we’ve divided the calories by 4. No food is 100% Protein. 25% is considered high protein. Let’s take the 1500 calorie diet – 450 x 4 = 1800 cal. of high protein food! Now, how are we going to get that and still keep the fat to 30%??? Let’s just say, you have 2 protein shakes/day: 32 gm protein Still need 80 gm from the diet on 1500 cal/day Deficiency in Protein is linked to diabetes, heart disease, cancer and yet take a look at this chart (also from the 90’s). It becomes easy to understand why the U.S. leads the world in these degenerative diseases. Type 2 Diabetes is quickly on the rise in children and the number of overweight kids and teens has DOUBLED in the last 10 years.

The need for protein is 2.5 – 3 x’s greater under STRESS! It doesn’t matter if it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’ stress. The body just says: “Here we go again.” And needs to produce the stress hormones, like adrenaline and cortisol. It’s estimated that the average human being moves under stress 15-20 x’s/day. Let’s take a look at our diet. What foods deliver protein?

Soybeans Legumes, Peanuts Soy milk, cheese Nuts & Seeds Whole grains Eggs Milk Poultry Fish Beef A few comments from Health Professional Meeting, Anaheim Convention, 2010. Dr. Jamie McManus, Director Medical Affairs @ Shaklee, reported that if there is a ‘slip up’ on Cinch’s Lifestyle/Weight Management plan, it’s usually due to not enough protein! (If there’s not enough protein, those cravings, & tiredness, & moodiness slip in) Dr Wayne Wescott gave a research update on the clinical study done in Quincy, MA YMCA on Protein & Body Composition. May 2008: benefits of ingesting Protein after workout for increasing muscle mass and strength. 5-10 lbs of muscle is lost every decade if not doing strength training. Dr. Wayne Campbell: 50% more protein above the RDA just to maintain for 50-80 year olds. Younger? Need 25% more protein above the RDA. Dr. Tom Klausky: Muscles cells are especially receptive to amino acids directly after a workout. (please ask for the summary of awesome results with PHYSIQUE – appeared in Amer. Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

The Shaklee DifferenceSome soy proteins are alcohol processed, which not only removes the beneficial isoflavones, but also creates cross-con-tamination with the processing chemicals. Shaklee Soy Protein is water-washed to retain those critical isoflavones genistein and daidzein and provide you with the whole goodness of soy.

Shaklee uses Non-GMO Soy Protein in All Our ShakesShaklee uses an independent certifica-tion process called the Identity Preserved Program (IPP), which ensures that our soybeans are free from exposure to ge-netically modified soybeans. From seed to shelf, you can trust our commitment to natural, quality ingredients.

Did you know?The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates based on their impact on blood-suger level. Carbohydrates that break down quickly have the highest glycemic indi-ces (GI) while those with a low GI break down sugar slowly, releasing glucose into your system. Keeping blood-sugar levels low is important to weight loss and long-term health.

Did you know?As part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, 25 grams of soy protein per day may reduce the risk of heart disease.

When starting Energizing Soy Protein - begin with just 2 teas. a couple times a day. Gradu-ally build to 3 TBL a couple times a day.

Physique Recovery DrinkWho can benefit?

Anyone! Anyone who needs to rebuild muscle that has been torn down as a result of exercise, disease, and/or stress.

Our heart is our most vital muscle. Muscles are made out of protein. Under stress you can use 3-4 times as much protein. Protein requirements range from 0.75 grams per pound of desirable weight for the sedentary to 1.0 gram per pound of desirable weight for

the physically active.

Here are some stories I’d like to share with you:

A little 4 year old boy with Muscular Dystrophy was told by his Dr. he would be in a wheelchair before long. He is now walking up stairs. His parents took him to Germany to see aphysician there who recommended he stay on Physique.

Heart bypass patients are regaining heart muscle and recovering faster.

In a study by Dr. Browse, sugar regulation in those who had been hypo or hyperglycemic returned to normal in 56% of cases within 3 months.

Jim Burke shared with us that a woman who was insulin dependent is now insulin free after 5 cans of physique.

Lee Coyne Ph.D. Exercise Physiology

“Protein should make up 30% of your calories. I em-phasize high quality digestible protein sources includ-ing soy and selected whey protein drinks. Always eat protein at every meal and every snack - no exceptions. Eat some of your protein foods first to further control the rate of the rise of blood sugar. Protein require-ments range from 0.75 grams per pound of desirable weight for the sedentary to 1.0 gram per pound of desirable weight for the physically active.”

When compared to carbohydrate and protein alone, the carbohydrate and protein mix found in Physique significantly increased the amount of glycogen stored in the muscles in the four hours after excercise.

Physique - Muscle Energy and Insulin Production

After cycling for two hours in race-like conditions, test athletes drinking 16oz. of Physique immediately and two hours after their workout had significantly higher insulin levels than those who consumed only protein or only carbohydrate.
