Shape Up this Summer: A Message from Luigi Gratton, M.D., M.P.H, Vice President of Medical Affairs and Education, Herbalife
Summer is here! With picnics, barbecues and warm weather, there’s no better time of year to get outdoors and enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. Here are some simple strategies to keep in mind as you shape up this swimsuit season. (Source: “Herbalife’s Today Magazine, July/September 2008)
1. Drink plenty of water
When it comes to physical activity, don’t forget the importance of water. You’ve probably heard this a hundred times, but there’s a reason for it. Your body uses water in almost every function, including the process of burning fat. Water helps every cell and organ in your body work. It cushions your joints, and helps keep your body cool.
Water also helps flush toxins out of your system and rehydrates the body. Plan ahead. Make sure to carry a water bottle with you. Drink before, during and after physical activity to replace the water you lose when you sweat. Even a small water deficiency can affect how you perform, so drink up!
The following Herbalife products are great to keep your body hydrated:
H3O™ Pro Isotonic Drink
LiftOff Energy Drink
Thermojetics Herbal Beverage
2. Track your progress
Keep a journal of your physical activity to chart your progress. Whether you’re interested in losing weight, building muscle or just getting active again, keeping a log will help motivate you. Record all the information for each workout, including time, intensity and performance. It’s a good idea to record your baseline measurements and find out your body fat percentage, so you can set attainable weight-loss goals. You may not feel like you’re making progress, but when you look back at where you started, you may be pleasantly surprised. Remember that small steps matter. Tracking even a slight amount of improvement on paper will inspire you to keep going with confidence.
3. Protect your skin and hair
Do you play outdoor sports? Being outdoors means being exposed to the elements, such as sun, wind and pollution. For example, it’s a good idea to wear sunscreen and a hat to protect your skin and hair. Our Personal Care/ Outer Nutrition products help repair damage from daily environmental stresses and can help protect your skin and hair from the elements. So don’t leave yourself exposed – stay protected as you enjoy your fitness program and have some fun in the sun.

NEW: H3O Pro™ Isotonic Drink from Herbalife – Powering Exceptional Performance – Demand more from your sports drink!
Top athletes push their body to the limit to deliver an exceptional performance. Two crucial factors aid an exceptional performance: energy and hydration.
Developed with experts in sports nutrition and in consultation with our Nutritional Advisory Board, H3O Pro™ is an innovative isotonic drink helping to power exceptional performances. As we demand more from our bodies during exercise, it’s vital that we support our body and provide what it needs. Herbalife’s new isotonic drink, H3O Pro™, has some unique advantages over the leading brands, which will be highlighted below.
Whatever your sport, whether you are a keen team player in a sport like football or hockey, a fan of challenging endurance activities such as marathons or triathlons, a fitness enthusiast who enjoys activities such as gym sessions, or game of tennis – hydration and energy are vital in achieving results to be proud of.
Here are the H3O Pro™’s key benefits:
Hydration: Sweating during exercise causes loss of essential electrolytes (or salts) such as sodium as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium and chloride. Replacing electrolytes can aid rapid hydration and help you avoid the negative effects of dehydration such as muscle cramps, fatigue and headaches.
Energy and Stamina: Energising carbohydrates provide your body with immediate and sustained energy to prevent unwanted performance dips – keeping you at the top of your game!
Absorption: Energy releasing B-vitamins help improve absorption of essential nutrients which means that your body can react faster to the number to the nutrients provided in H3O Pro™ helping to power your performance.
Protection: Oxygen production during exercise increases free radical production which can cause damage to the body’s cells. Key antioxidants Vitamins C & E and mixed tocopherals help protect the body’s tissues against the potentially damaging effects of free radicals.
Extensive research and development by our NAB experts has resulted in a science-based sports drink which offers more than other leading isotonic drinks available to consumers. Here are the key ingredients in H3O Pro™ and why they are important in an isotonic drink:
Source of sugar which forms the carbs in the drink: Isomaltulose: Isomaltulose is a naturally derived source of sugar that acts as the key carbohydrate in H3O Pro™, providing immediate and sustained energy to prevent unwanted performance dips – it will not create a quick spike and crash energy as some sports drinks do which contain glucose syrup/ maltodextrin instead of Isomaltulose
Key electrolyte: 140mg potassium: H3O Pro™ is over 3 times higher in potassium than leading competitors. Potassium is essential for water and electrolyte balance throughout the body and helps support muscle function.
Calcium (120mg) and Magnesium (50mg): H3O Pro™ is 12 times higher in calcium than leading brands and it also contains magnesium, unlike leading brands. Calcium is essential for bone health and combination of both calcium and magnesium is great for muscle function especially for muscle cramps during and after excercise.
B-vitamins: contains 15% RDA for each of the five B-vitamins to help the body to absorb the nutrients in H3O Pro™ to power your performance. Leading brands contain 17% RDA of four B-vitamins only.
Antioxidants: Vitamin C (15mg), Vitamin E (2.5mg), Mixed tocopherals (30mg): Unlike any leading competitor, H3O Pro™ contains key antioxidant vitamins C & E and mixed tocopherals – a powerful combination to help protect the body’s tissues and immune system against the potentially damaging effects of free radicals often induced during exercise.
Exceptional performance – exceptional taste!
For many athletes and sports people taste is a critical factor in choosing the right sports drink. Whether you are exercising for 45 minutes or four hours you need to be sure that it won’t leave a bad taste in your mouth. Many sports drinks are made with artificial flavours producing an over-sweet taste which some people find overwhelming and sickly – H3O Pro™ doesn’t contain artificial flavours, sweeteners or preservatives.
We’ve carried out extensive taste-testing with professional athletes and sports people to develop a clean isotonic drink with a hint of tangy lemon, guaranteed to keep you refreshed, hydrated and performing at your best whatever your sport.
For an exceptional performance, water alone is not enough
Your body is 60% water so, for the results to be proud of, your body fluid must be kept at its optimum level. When you exercise, you sweat which increases the risk of suffering from the negative effects of dehydration such as headaches, fatigue and cramp.
Today, isotonic drinks are the preferred choice for most fitness enthusiasts and athletes wanting exceptional hydration and energy. Isotonic drinks have a similar carbohydrate and electrolyte concentration to your body meaning they are absorbed as fast, if not faster, than water.
Balanced osmolality
An osmolality level of 270-330 Mosm/kg in an isotonic drink helps to maintain the required concentration of electrolytes in your blood. Water alone has a very low osmolality level as it typically does not contain electrolytes. Although it is a great hydration, water also stimulates urine output which reduces its effectiveness during your exercise or any sporting performance.
Getting the best from H3O Pro™
Available in convenient single serving sachets, H3O Pro™ is easy to use. Simply pour contents of one sachet into a water bottle and add water to produce 500ml of H3O Pro™. One serving of H3O Pro™ in 500ml is recommended for every 60 minutes of strenuous exercise.
The best time to enjoy H3O Pro™ is during your workout to keep you hydrated whilst providing a supply of energy, electrolytes and antioxidants to help power an exceptional performance. However, H3O Pro™ can also help you stay hydrated and energised before your work out.
Top Tip: Sports scientists recommend that you consume isotonic drinks at room temperature to help the body absorb it more effectively.

Study: Green tea’s heart benefits gain support!
Regular consumption of green tea may improve the function of endothelial cells – cells lining the walls of blood vessels – and boost cardiovascular health, according to new research from Greece.
The small study with 14 healthy adults found that the benefits of the beverage was not related to the caffeine, indicating the possible role of green tea polyphenols, previously linked to protection against certain kinds of cancers and Alzheimer’s.
The study is published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation.
“These findings have important clinical implications,” said study co-author Charalambos Vlachopoulos from Athens Medical School in Greece.
“In this same context, recent studies have also shown potent anticarcinogenic effects of green tea, attributed to its antioxidant properties,” added Dr Vlachopoulos.
Study details
The Greek researchers randomly assigned the volunteers (average age 30) to one of three groups. The first receive six grams of green tea, the second received 125 mg of caffeine (equivalent to the caffeine dose from six grams of tea), and the third group received hot water.
The volunteers consumed each of the interventions on three separate occasions, and the effects on flow-mediated dilation (FMD), the measure of a blood vessel’s healthy ability to relax, measured 30, 90 and 120 minutes after consumption.
Green tea increased FMD by 3.9 per cent 30 minutes after consumption, while no changes in FMD were observed following consumption of caffeine or the hot water placebo.
“Green tea consumption has an acute beneficial effect on endothelial function, assessed with FMD of the brachial artery, in healthy individuals,” wrote the researchers and “this may be involved in the beneficial effect of tea on cardiovascular risk,” they concluded.

Green tea for sports nutrition?
Antioxidant-rich green tea may counter the effects of resistance exercise by reducing the detrimental effects of oxidative stress, suggests a small trial from Brazil.While the thought of athletes knocking back a cup of green tea after a workout may seem strange, it may signal a possibility for antioxidant-rich green tea extracts to be supported by science like the new study from the May issue of the journal Nutrition.
Researchers from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, and the Center of Physical Education, Physiotherapy and Sports of Santa Catarina State University studied the effects of daily green tea consumption for seven days in athletes undertaking resistance training, which can increase the production of free radicals beyond the tissues’ antioxidant defense capacity, and causing oxidative stress.
“The inadequate intake of dietary antioxidants among the physically active populations must be considered,” wrote lead author Vilma Simoes Pereira Panza.
“This study suggests that green tea intake may offer a protective effect against oxidative damaged induced by resistance exercise.”
Study details
Panza and co-workers recruited 14 healthy men aged between 19 and 30 to consume either water or green tea three times per day for seven days. The average polyphenol content of the tea was 771.0 micrograms per mL, while the average intake of green tea polyphenols was calculated to be 4.6 micrograms per day.
After seven days of consuming the beverages, the volunteers were required to perform a bench press exercise (four sets, 10 to 4 repetitions). The researchers analysed blood samples and calculated the total antioxidant capacity according to the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) assay, and levels of reduced glutathione and lipid hydroperoxide.
According to the results, consumption of green tea was associated with a 64 per cent reduction in the levels of lipid hydroperoxide after exercise, while blood levels of polyphenols were approximately 27 per cent high before and after exercise.
Moreover, post-exercise levels of glutathione, a protein that is important in protecting the body from oxidative (free radical) damage, were approximately 37 per cent higher in the green tea group.
“There is evidence that supplementation with antioxidants may decrease the oxidation of blood GSH after exercise,” stated the researchers. “Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that dietary strategies, such as daily GT intake, may also benefit the glutathione system of athletes by elevating blood GSH levels before and after effort.”
Consumption of green tea also provided pre-exercise benefits, with the pre-exercise FRAP value about 21 per cent higher compared with the control group.
“Consumption of green tea, a beverage rich in polyphenols, may offer protection against the oxidative damage caused by exercise, and dietary guidance for sports participants should be emphasised,” concluded the researchers.
Panza and co-workers also noted that future studies should elucidate the time course and recovery periods associated with green tea consumption, while other studies “should corroborate our findings using other polyphenol-rich foods and beverages, thus widening the dietary strategies applied to training.”
The analysts state that science is the reason for the Green Tea’s growing popularity, and that it is generally accepted that green tea has a beneficial role in reducing Alzheimer’s, certain cancers, cardiovascular and oral health. Many researches also support claims that green tea can aid weight loss.

"Appropriate and well-balanced training is wasted without sound nutritional support"
As somebody who is training for triathlon, my first shall I say, and having just come back from an incredible Herbalife’s UK’s biggest annual training event, Spring Spectacular in Manchester, where I have been trained by Dr Ralph Rodgers, amongst many, I was delighted to read an article in The Independent from last year about Dr. Ralph Rodgers and his advice on training for triathlon.
Nutritional advice comes from Dr Ralph Rogers, the UK representative of Herbalife’s global nutrition advisory board. He is a black belt in jujitsu and a research fellow at the School of Sport, Performing Arts and Leisure at the University of Wolverhampton. He was also medical advisor to the Trinidad & Tobago World Cup 2006 football team.
“Diet significantly affects sport and exercise performance,” he says. “Appropriate and well-balanced training is wasted without sound nutritional support. Triathlon requires a well- thought-out nutritional and training programme.”
Triathlon has become the fastest-growing sport in Britain. But if you want to compete at top level, you’ll need to apply as much brain as brawn. Peter Conchie reports on an academy for gifted amateurs that is turning its pupils into world-beaters… read the full story here.
As announced at this weekend’s Spring Spectacular in Manchester, Dr. Ralph Rogers – our very own Nutrition Advisory Board member – will be cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End to raise funds for the Casa Herbalife UK Project The Hackney Young Carers Healthy Eating Programme.

The nutrition choice of world-class athletes… Herbalife nets results!
Luigi Gratton, a nutrition advisor to the LA Galaxy, talks about the importance of nutrition for professional athletes.
“Good nutrition is important for everyone, but especially plays a key role for professional athletes. In fact, it is one of the most important factors for improving performance.
Athlete’s lives are often so busy that one of their greatest challenges is preparing nutritious meals on a regular basis. That’s why Formula 1 shakes are the perfect healthy meal for athletes constantly on the go.
LA Galaxy players, like many athletes, have higher activity levels that the average person and have higher nutritional demands. Simply put, the more active the athlete – the more important their nutrition.
Whenever I’m offering nutritional advice, I point out the importance of Herbalife® products like Formula 1 Shake Mix. I know from personal experience that science-based products can make a huge difference in an athlete’s performance and overall wellbeing.
Ultimately, I advise all athletes to maintain their nutritional conditioning not only for games and athletic events, but all the time. A programme with Herbalife® products, together with a healthy, active lifestyle, is a winning combination for all athletes as well as anyone interested in maintaining his or her wellbeing.”
Herbalife and the LA Galaxy: a winning combination

With some of the world’s most famous soccer players, like Chris Albright and Joe Cannon, this all-star association is showing that Herbalife is the nutrition choice of world’s class athletes.
“Running up to six miles every game against some of the greatest athletes in the world is a demanding challenge. But since I started using Herbalife, I have felt more energetic and that allowed me to have one of my best seasons ever as a pro in 2006. Thanks, Herbalife, for offering a simple effective nutrition routine that I enjoy following each day.”Chris Albright, 2006 Defender of the Year LA Galaxy
“Every time I take the field, my single goal is to stop others from scoring. When you have a ball travelling towards you at up to 85 miles-per-hour, that means you need incredible mind-body reaction time. My solution? Simple… I use Herbalife® products during every practice and every game. Nothing I’ve tried before or since has given me a more competitive edge.”

A. A physically active body may benefit from:
• At least two litres of water a day – more in warm climates. During exercise our bodies sweat so it’s important to replace lost fluid to avoid dehydration.
• A varied and balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables (high in beneficial vitamins and minerals). Alcohol, caffeine and sugary and fatty foods should be
kept to a minimum. Keeping an eye on your salt intake is another important factor.
• Recovery days. Time for muscles to rest and recover should be incorporated into any weekly fitness programme.
• Not smoking – this will reduce the risk of various health problems including high blood pressure and poor cardiovascular health, also monitor your alcohol intake.
