Dear friend,

Since the founding of our company over 18 years ago, there has never been a more direct threat to the community we are committed to and that we serve every day – those over 50.  The growing threat of Covid-19 (Corona virus) and the risk it poses, especially to seniors, has us obligated to do what we can to help you navigate this serious health challenge.

The Corona virus is serious, it’s spreading rapidly, and it’s targeting the community that I belong to and that Healthy Habits proudly serves – it’s targeting seniors.

There are some easy steps you can take to better protect yourself and your loved ones. These are our Top 7 Tips & Recommendations:

• Employ Social Distancing– where possible, try to stay outside of the radius of the typical cough and/or sneeze which is about 6 feet.
• Soap kills the virus– so wash your hands regularly with soap & water for 20 seconds.
• Take Care. Don’t Share– Cough & Sneeze into your elbow. People around you appreciate it.
• Fortify Your Defenses– Take steps now to build your Immunity so your body can fight back, should the need arise.
• Quit smoking – The corona virus fatalities in China were mostly older males who smoked. Few Chinese women smoke, so women’s mortality rates were significantly lower. Smokers are at the highest risk of becoming sick from a respiratory virus, so avoid exposure to smoke.
• Eat plenty of organic fruits and vegetables —Fruits and vegetables help arm your body with the minerals, vitamins and antioxidants it needs to fight oxidative stress – which includes contracting a sickness.
• Supplement if you are unable to eat a proper diet — There is no excuse for not arming your body with the antioxidants, minerals and vitamins it needs to combat disease. When in doubt, we recommend that you supplement.

Below are the top five supplements we recommend and the reasons why.

1.Beta Glucan 1,3/1,6 – is a powerful immune modulator; in fact, it is one of the safest and most impressive allies in regaining healthy immune function (that is also safe for those with autoimmune issues). This natural source of polysaccharides is shown in hundreds of studies to be highly effective for both immunodeficiency problems and autoimmune disorders. The Beta Glucan particles travel throughout the body helping create more macrophages to surround and destroy invaders.

Beta Glucans have such precise effects that the type used must fit like a key in a lock. The quality and sources of Beta Glucan vary widely, and studies show that you’ll benefit most from choosing one made from baker’s yeast extract (saccharomyces cerevisiae), such as Beta Glucan 1,3/1,6 . For best results, take it on an empty stomach. It is safe and non-toxic.

Beta Glucan Supplement Recommendation: 

The quality and sources of Beta Glucan vary widely, and studies show that you’ll benefit most from choosing one made from baker’s yeast extract (saccharomyces cerevisiae), such as Beta Glucan 1,3/1,6 from Healthy Habits®. It is safe and non-toxic.

 

2.Green Tea Concentrate– contains powerful, naturally occurring compounds called catechins that are a type of disease-fighting flavonoid and antioxidant that boosts the body’s immune system so it can better seek out and destroy viruses.

Studies have reported that tea catechins inhibited influenza viral adsorption and suppressed replication and neuraminidase activity. They were also effective against some cold viruses. It does this by bonding itself to the cell and disrupting the virus, preventing it from replicating itself.

Green Tea Supplement Recommendation:

Add our delicious green tea drops (available in both Peach and Kiwi-Berry flavors) to water and drink in place of traditional teas and sodas. It is sugar-free and decaffeinated, so can be enjoyed any time of the day or night.  Simply add up to one half dropper full to a glass of water and enjoy the taste and the disease fighting benefits. Delicious hot or cold. Healthy Habits® Green Tea Concentrate has been a customer favorite for years.

 

3.BioVitale-H2O®:  Hydration – Seniors are at higher risk for dehydration due to body composition changes with age. Older adults’ bodies typically contain less water than younger people. Some contributors to dehydration that many people are unaware of include side effects of some medications, such as diuretics, diabetes, and excess caffeine consumption. Water is responsible for all interactions that control cell behavior and ultimately dictates the state of well-being. Not only can water help you stay hydrated, it also helps regulate body temperature and is essential to the healthy function of cells, tissues and organs, including boosting your immune system.

Hydration Supplement Recommendation: BioVitale-H2O®

You may be surprised to learn that most water today is unable to enter the cells adequately in order to truly hydrate at the cellular level. This is due to the unnatural geometrical structure of modern water processing and its inability to accept free electrons.  By adding BioVitale-H2O® to your water daily you will hydrate your tissues at a deeper level by restoring water to its natural state.

Our patent-pending proprietary process is proven to be the only system in the world that increases the electron potential and oxygen levels in water. Distributors of bottled, distilled, reverse osmosis, ozonated, filtered, alkaline or spring water cannot make this claim. Our process increases the angle between the hydrogen atoms providing a 10-degree differential, increasing the viscosity of water, and producing water that has a crystalline structure at room temperature that’s dodecahedral (12 planes). Altering the molecular property of water so that it will accept free electrons is the key factor. This water is more easily able to hydrate deeply into the cells the way water was intended to. Healthy Habits® BioVitale-H2O® is leading edge technology and consistently one of our most popular products. Add it to all your daily beverages or just squirt it under your tongue.

 

4.Zinc A&C— The nutrients in Zinc A & C are known to be important to maintaining good health. One daily capsule delivers an ideal dose of some of the most essential nutrients for maintaining strong immunity. This customer favorite was precision-designed to deliver the optimal forms and combination of vitamins and minerals to support protection against health challenges such as viruses.

• Zinc glycinate is a compound of zinc and the essential amino acid glycine. This combination results in better absorption across the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream than any other form of zinc. Only then can zinc fulfill its vital contribution to the function of various body systems and immune strengthening power. We include the mineral copper, which needs to stay in balance with zinc and supports healthy immunity as well.
• Vitamin B–6 (pyridoxine) is vital to supporting biochemical reactions in the immune system. Zinc A&C provides a very generous dose of B-6 for the most effective results.
• Vitamin A (and Beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A) is nutritionally important to the body’s defense system. Vitamin A supports normal cell reproduction and is needed to maintain the strength and function of mucous membranes to help keep the immune system strong and to resist invasion by micro-organisms. Vitamin A also supports healthy lung tissues.
• Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting cellular functions of the immune system. Vitamin C deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections. Humans are the only animal that cannot make vitamin C inside our bodies, so we must obtain an adequate supply daily from food or supplements.

Zinc A&C Supplement Recommendation: 

Zinc A & C also includes a generous dose of lemon bioflavonoids. Studies have shown that citrus bioflavonoids help to maintain and improve the state and functions of the immune system, increasing the ability to provide a correct and rapid immune response. This power increases significantly when bioflavonoids and vitamin C are combined. Take Healthy Habits Zinc A & C once daily with a meal, apart from iron and calcium supplements for best assimilation.

 

5. Silver Defense — Gone are the days when opponents of silver efficacy could cite lack of scientific evidence. A perennial top seller, we have been proudly selling Silver Defense for close to 11 years. Our Silver Defense formulation is an ultra-premium, nano (molecule sized) silver backed by multiple patents and hundreds of independent safety and efficacy studies. This “silver sol” form of silver has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be more effective than ionic or colloidal forms of silver.

Silver Defense liquid can be safely ingested and added to room humidifiers, inhalers and misters. Silver doesn’t “poison” the viruses, so a virus can’t mutate to become resistant to the power of silver. Instead, nano-silver is a safe, natural substance that attaches itself to pathogenic microorganisms and kills them by smothering them. Silver Defense doesn’t harm your beneficial probiotic bacteria. There is no risk of nano-silver turning your skin blue because it doesn’t accumulate in the body.

Silver Defense Supplement Recommendation: 

Healthy Habits Silver Defense is available as an 8-ounce liquid, and in a Gel form for topical or nasal application.

Regardless of how you decide to proceed, I would highly recommend that you start fortifying your body’s natural defenses immediately. Feel free to call us at 800-604-6766 if you have questions about this information or any of our products.

Wishing you good health & Healthy Habits,

Peter Ballantine                                                                                                                                                                                                  President

P.S. Keep front of mind the three factors (beyond smoking) that elevate your risk of becoming ill by suppressing your immunity:

1) Sugar Consumption, including alcohol and processed flour products. One tsp. of sugar can suppress immunity for 36 hours.

2) Lack of Regular Restful Sleep

3) Stress & Worry

Be proactive. Take extra vitamin C supplements throughout the day and say NO! to foods containing sugar, sucralose (Splenda®) and other highly concentrated sweets. (Stevia extract is fine.) Exercise daily and enjoy fresh air and sunshine as often as possible. Make sure to get 6-8 hours of restful sleep nightly and hand your worries over to God.

P.P.S. Healthy Habits® is here to support you to stay vitally healthy in order to live your happiest and most satisfying life. Thank you for sharing this information with your friends and loved ones to help them stay healthy too.
