Healthy Choices For Wellness

Ranked #102,356 in Healthy Living, #1,017,657 overall

Healthy Choices for Wellness As A Lifestyle Is A Personal Responsibility

This lens is intended to refocus on the incredible gift God has entrusted to mankind to steward, where we can find it again if we have lost sight of it, and what our part is in making the right choices to maintain our own health and wellness for longer through a better lifestyle, and to share this knowledge with those who are desperately looking for it.

"All that mankind needs for good health...is provided by God in nature...the challenge for science is to find it." Paracelsus, 1493-1541, Father of pharmacology.

Have we been looking in all the wrong places?

Have we trusted for wellness too much in the "professionals" in the white coat - accepting anything they say without asking some serious questions ourselves?

What if the voices of history have given us truths about wellness choices our generation has forgotten?

Healthy Choices And A Better Way of Producing Food For Our Society

Healthy Choices For People and Animals

However, good, nutritious food containing the expected vitamins and minerals is often difficult or impossible to obtain in our modern society. While fresh fruits and vegetables are a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients, and studies have proven that many health benefits accompany this diet, few people eat enough of them.

The United States Department of Agriculture advocates 5-13 servings daily of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating two fresh peaches in 1951 would have supplied today's RDA of vitamin A for a woman that now would require 53 peaches, according to a 2002 CTV news item. By the time it reaches the table what nutritional value it once had is mostly depleted.

The fault lies with modern mass production farming practices, and green harvesting to keep it looking "good enough" to eat while it was shipped over long distances before it reached the local supermarket, and depleted soil because farming practices have not heeded the 1 in 7 years principle of soil rest - or summer fallow in modern terms....

Eating Healthy By Planning and Choice

Mangoes contain little sodium, almost no fat and they are low in calories! They also contain a wealth of nutritionally-active compounds.
Besides their great taste, mangoes are rich in nutrients including folic acid, vitamins A and C, potassium and fiber.

They also contain a variety of plant chemicals including quercetin and mangiferin. Both chemicals have great health benefits. The March 2009 Reader's Digest has a complete article on the benefits of mangoes for wellness, including some great recipes using mangoes.

Fresh mangoes are usually available at the larger food chains. Some stores carry dried mangoes and even canned mangoes.

Eating mangoes is deliciously messy because of its juiciness and large flat seed in the center.

Some nutritional facts: Mangoes are an excellent source for Vitamin C, containing almost 40 percent of an adult's daily requirement! Example: One half of a mango (about 100 grams) has 67 calories, is naturally low in fat and sodium, has 2 grams of fiber, significant amounts of beta-carotene and potassium. A mango, anyone?

Blueberries Support Health

type=textBlueberries...great!
Did you know that blueberries are high in antioxidants, fibre and a source of vitamin C? They are one of the naturally good foods that help your body perform well!
Blueberries rank number one in antioxidant activity when compared to forty other fruits and vegetables, according to a recent U.S. Department of Agricultural (USDA) study. There is strong evidence for blueberries helping to provide good health! (These would be a wonderful addition to your glycemic diet, especially when they are fresh!)

According to Kathy Gottschall-Pass, a nutritional scientist and blueberry researcher at the University of Prince Edward Island, preliminary studies suggest that blueberries can slow brain aging, possibly protect the brain .......... and seems to help prevent plaque from forming in the arteries! (Sounds like we all could use this one.)

She cautions that just eating blueberries won't fix a bad diet, but adding these high-antioxidant berries to your recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake is definitely a step in the right direction.

Eating Healthy, Low Glycemic, Low Glycemic Load

Fad, unscientifically developed (or home mixed? ) diets have turned North America into an unhealthy people

Five Important Factors Constitute Their Unique Product Assurance Process

Quality, Evaluation, GMP's, Safety, and Regulatory Compliance

Quality

Setting the highest standards

Consistently meeting or exceeding customer product expectations is among Mannatech's foremost goals - continually striving to keep up with the latest technological capabilities; at the same time they will not compromise their quality standards at the 100% level.

They have a comprehensive global quality system based on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP,S) established by various regulatory agencies. They maintain strict control over every product as it passes through all phases of development, manufacturing, packaging, storage and distribution.

Statistical sampling followed by rigorous inspection and testing is conducted by Mannatech's Quality group, in partnership with their suppliers. Only products meeting specifications are allowed to be distributed

Mannatech's Quality Assurance process encompasses subject matter experts such as microbiologists, chemists, technicians and inspectors, all of whom receive frequent training to update their knowledge. All actions involving products are fully documented. No product is ever shipped without the highest level of assurance that it meets the Quality Standards our Associates and consumers demand.

Evaluation

Manufacturing and evaluation

When you take a Natural Health Product, you have the right to expect that you are taking that natural health product and its exact ingredients in the specific quantities listed on the container - not something else that has been mislabeled or otherwise misrepresented. The reliable, science-based analyses of Mannatech have proven to be indispensable in allowing Mannatech to offer this assurance.


Science-based analyses such as assays separate fact from falsehood. They are practical applications of the scientific methods by which substances of various kinds, including the ingredients in natural health products, can be objectively analyzed. Mannatech uses verifiable, approved assay methods, so you can be confident that what you're taking is of the highest quality.

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)

GMPs Now Government Mandated

GMPs impact all aspects of product realization -- development, manufacture, evaluation, storage and distribution. GMPs implemented at Mannatech encompass a wide variety of issues such as consistent process record keeping, personnel qualification, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment qualification, process controls and customer complaint handling.

All Natural Health Products in Canada are required to adhere to GMPs just as every company in the U.S.dietary supplement industry is now required to have processes that comply with U.S. dietary supplement GMPs. Consumers that chose intelligently can now be assured of the highest product safety and quality.

Everything from raw material acquisition to distribution of the finished natural health product is affected by GMPs. Highly qualified scientists in Mannatech's Quality Assurance department inspect each lot of manufactured product and either approve or reject them based on a comprehensive set of quality control criteria.

To further ensure unbiased assessment of products, the Quality Assurance department is run independently of Product Management.

Thanks in part to their comparatively long experience with GMPs, at Mannatech they can ensure the quality, safety and trustworthy consistency of all their products.

Safety

Product quality and product safety are inseparable. As a pioneering company identified with plant polysaccharide technology since its inception, Mannatech continuously does all it can to earn the trust consumers place in it every time they use a Mannatech product.

Their overarching goal is uncompromising and never varies: For every Associate and consumer to feel the highest level of confidence that each container of any given Mannatech product has the same high-quality ingredients and has been processed consistently to their exacting standards.

Regulatory Compliance

Mannatech's Global Regulatory affairs group registers products in various countries to help ensure timely product availability to Associates and consumers in all countries where Mannatech sells products.

Regulations and regulatory requirements vary greatly from country to country; so to ensure regional regulatory compliance, Mannatech's regulatory experts guide the product development efforts for each country. This group is responsible for ensuring that products in any given country are always correctly labeled and that they include only approved ingredients in the correct formulations.

The global regulatory environment for natural health products is constantly changing. By vigilantly monitoring worldwide regulatory activities, the Regulatory Compliance group helps ensure that Mannatech provides products that meet regional regulations in specific countries.

NSF Certification NSF©

Third Party Corroboration for the highest world class standard

Your confidence in Mannatech's products can further be ensured by the fact that a growing number of them have been certified by NSF International. NSF International, a leader in dietary supplement certification, is an independent, third party agency that develops standards and certifies products in more than 100 countries. It has a comprehensive program for product testing and manufacturing evaluation, helping ensure that supplements and ingredients are labeled accurately and do not contain any adulterants or contaminants.
