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
As the Official Nutrition Company and Presenting Sponsor of the LA Galaxy, Herbalife is on a mission for nutrition, giving people an opportunity to change their lives with proven products and a proven business opportunity. We are taking the mission for nutrition across the galaxy. Herbalife and the LA Galaxy are two world-class players that have come together to make one amazing team.
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.”
Joe Cannon, Two-times MLS Goalkeeper of the Year LA Galaxy

“ I believe that Formula 1 is the best fuel for my body!”, Valerio Catalini, Italy
Valerio Catalini lives in Monterosi, Italy with his wife and children. Several years ago he was working full-time in a role which left him little time or motivation for his own personal needs. He dreamt of being fit and healthy so once he discovered Herbalife® products and the Herbalife® business opportunity, he soon began to put positive changes into place – with extremely pleasing results.
“I often felt tired and lethargic due to my inactive lifestyle and lack of motivation towards fitness. But all of that changed. I had a secret dream to be fit and healthy again – like when I was younger; I knew I wanted to follow a fitness programme – one that would not only give me the fit body I craved, but also provide me with more energy and drive.
One day I came across a newspaper advertisement for the Herbalife® business opportunity and my wife, Tiziana, had been using Formula 1 Meal Replacement for a few days and was already beginning to feel the physical benefit. So I made the decision to give Formula 1 a try too…
So at the age of 31, I started my new journey. Then, in 2005, I decided to compete in the London Triathlon – a rigorous and challenging task for any athlete. I completed that first triathlon in an amazing 2hrs 36mins – not bad for my first attempt at a triathlon! Instead of a cappuccino and croissants for breakfast, I now religiously stick to my own programme that includes two to three Formula 1 shakes a day plus a range of Herbalife® supplements and a varied, balanced diet.
I also continue to stay physically active – running, swimming, biking – with triathlons still playing a major role in my life. Naturally, Formula 1 supports all this activity – resulting in strong, lean muscles with less fat, which helps my overall performance. My recovery time has significantly improved too – a key benefit for any fitness-minded person. Plus of course, I’m extremely happy with my body shape now!
Formula 1 really is the best fuel for my body. Not only has my vitality and confidence levels risen, but I feel extremely healthy and I am performing better. I am continuing with the vigorous, extensive training programme needed to compete in yet another triathlon. It’s tough, but it’s stimulating and I love the multi-disciplinary aspect to the sport. When it comes to business, I continue to be a highly-motivated Distributor who aims to inspire others daily through sharing my own personal get-fit experience. Anyone using Formula 1 together with other Herbalife® products can turn their life around for the better and feel the difference it makes – anything is possible.”
