Hello again, and welcome to the latest article from Herbalife distributor MCS Wellbeing. Today the focus is on at fitness and vitality products; in particular how they can be used to not only give us the energy to be more active, but also how they can provide us with motivation to WANT to be more active.

I am going to start by saying something you may, or may not agree with, ... we are all addicts. The word "addict" is usually reserved for drug or drink-related activities, but it is misleading to think that we can all duck under the benchmark for being an addict. I'm sure you know by now where this article is headed, but I am unashamedly heading there nonetheless. Nicotine and caffeine are addictive substances, and stripped of their addictive nature, they really offer little or no benefit to our lives or our bodies. In essence we are putting our bodies into debt. Prior to that first taste our bodies were happy in their homeostatic existence, then all of a sudden we introduce a foreign substance which the body then craves from that point forward. But we are no longer adding the substance for an extra "buzz", we are fulfilling the need of the body to receive something it feels is missing.

The problem is that the body and brain can no longer function without hankering after the caffeine or nicotine we feed it. We become reliant on a "cuppa" or a cigarette before we can face the day's tasks. And it's important to remember (hence I reiterate) that we are not stimulating the body to do something extra, rather we are making it feel "normal" again. So we feed our habits, achieve nothing extra from it, and ultimately have to face the inevitable low once the stimulant is flushed from our system. So drinking a cup of coffee or tea doesn't give us the get up and go to run a mile, it gives us the impetus to boil the kettle again.

The caffeine cycle can be broken by fitness and vitality products like the ones on display throughout the product pages of this web site. By replacing the caffeine drinks with a herbal alternative you can reduce the amount of unnecessary stimulant in your body, whilst still achieving a feeling of wellbeing and inner contentment. Heavy drinkers of tea/coffee may need to reduce their intake more carefully than casual drinkers, but most will notice that as the caffeine cravings are reduced, so their energy levels begin to rise and their mental functions sharpen. Giving you the will and the motivation to do some of those physical activities you might otherwise forego through lethargy.

The Herbalife products range of fitness and vitality products come as "Thermojetics Instant Herbal Beverages" and in flavours such as lemon, raspberry and peach. Why not try them today and give yourself the chance to kick the habit you didn't know you had!
