Why We Need a "Wellness" Revolution
The emerging "wellness" industry is as much a reaction to the tyranny of the sickness and food industries as it is to every person's desire for the freedom that wellness offers! Wellness is the next natural step forward in our destiny and in the advancement of humankind. By extending our years of strength and wellness, we can accomplish all the things we want to accomplish.
There are incredible and powerful economic forces that prevent people from taking control of their own health and actually encourage them to gain weight - forces so powerful that nothing short of a revolution will be able to stop them! Whereas in the past poverty was associated with thinness and obesity with wealth, most people who are overweight today occupy the lower rungs of the economic ladder. The facts are that 65 percent of the US population alone is overweight, and a staggering 30 percent are clinically obese!
Many of the emotional challenges some people face today, from controlling one's temper to depression to cancer, are as much products of the junk-food companies as are frozen pizza and low-fat cookies! Over the short term, vitamin and mineral deficiencies manifest themselves as mood swings, lack of energy, joint pain, failing eyesight, hearing loss and thousands of other ailments that medical science tells us to accept with advancing age. Over the long term, these deficiencies cause major illnesses like cancer and heart disease. Understanding how the medical (sickness) industry works today is critically important for the entrepreneurs who want to lead and/or participate in the wellness revolution.
The amount of cholesterol in your system is determined by many factors, ranging from your genes to your age to your level of physical activity. But the major determinant of how much LDL (bad) cholesterol you have is your weight, or more specifically, how much excess fat you have in your system.

This is My Story
How MonaVie Pulse Helped Me
When first diagnosed with high cholesterol (just over 300!) as a young man in the 1980's, I did everything my doctor told me to do - eliminated the butter and eggs; at more fish; limited meat and exercised more. After having done all those things for about 90 days I was retested and told that my cholesterol levels hadn't budged - it was hereditary! I was to be consigned to live my life taking medication and having blood work done every 3 months to check my liver functions, since statin drugs can have an adverse effect - over the years I've taken Pravachal, Mevacor and most recently a fibrate, Gemfibrozil which has a reputation of not being able to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. I was even eventually able to quit smoking cigarettes! I also maintain a regimen of multi-vitamins and fish oil (Omega-3) supplement. The best I was ever able to do was to maintain a level in the lower 200 range - between 215 and 225 on average
Recently I found a crucial element that proved to be essential in my quest for supplementing proper nutrition! While researching a wide variety of nutritional supplements and the effects they could have on improving and sustaining my health what began as a quest for the best in health and wellness products that would help me, the most impressive thing I learned was about the effect that antioxidants have on reducing cholesterol.
When I came across MonaVie, an antioxidant fruit juice that's extremely dense in antioxidants I was extremely impressed. It is a highly nutritional antioxidant fruit juice that features the acai berry as well as 18 additional antioxidant-rich fruits. The acai has been called the new "super food" and with an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) score of 1,027, has the highest score of any fruit or vegetable measured to date on a gram-for-gram basis. MonaVie came out with a blend called Pulse in October of 2008 that was specifically formulated for combating high cholesterol levels. It contains plant sterols, reservatrol and additional omega-3 fatty acids. Since I started drinking only 3 oz. of MonaVie Pulse per day 3 months ago, my cholesterol has gone from 215 to 161 - an amazing drop of 64 points! My LDL (bad) cholesterol went down by some 50 points as well!
