Where the Herbalife programme is unique, is that it provides the body not only with the complete nutrition that it needs on a daily basis in complete balance, but it conditions the absorption system of the lower intestine so that it can absorb this nutrition. It's not just that "you are what you eat" but you are what you absorb from what you eat. Basically, this absorption is performed by the villi - tiny, finger-like protrusions which cover the walls of the lower intestine; if they were laid out they would cover an area the size of a tennis court. In a young, healthy person, or someone who is completely nutritionally nourished, the villi are fully extended and extract all the nutrition from the food etc. that's been consumed.

Unfortunately, these villi can become energetically impaired and look more like a fist so that they cannot operate efficiently and the tips, which absorb the top quality nutrition, actually get broken off. Even the base of the villi becomes clogged up and the surface area available for the absorption of any nutrition is much reduced.

This can be caused by ageing or by bad eating habits, continuous dieting, prescription medication, smoking, drinking alcohol in excess or by suffering from stress (these things often befall the average person as they get older, but not necessarily wiser!); under these conditions, the opportunity to benefit from any available nutrition can be much reduced.

The Herbalife Complete Nutrition Programme is light-years ahead of other products in the market-place in that it gives the body a combination of herbs which help to cleanse and regenerate the villi so that they can work efficiently to absorb the extra nutrition and so nourish the body at a cellular level. Within a short time, usually three days or so, people using the programme feel different. The body works so much better when it is given the best opportunity.

Herbalife is a way of radically changing your diet without radically changing your diet; it ensures that you have a diet which is the entire opposite to the "great Western diet", it is low in fat, sugar and salt, and high in fibre and beneficial and essential nutrients. On a daily basis the body requires protein , carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids and oils and fibre.

As well as containing all the fifty basic nutrients that the body needs, in the correct balance, the programme also contains some fifty or so micro-nutrients and botanical plant factors that are not essential for survival, but with them it is easier for our bodies to be completely nourished at a cellular level and, as a consequence, we feel the difference, we feel better, more vital.

This programme can be used to achieve good health, increased sporting performance, weight maintenance, weight increase or weight loss, depending on the way it is used and you can expect a feeling of increased well being and vitality. In all of these programmes it is recommended that you also eat a balanced diet of the foods you enjoy; the number of daily meals being adjusted according to the results you want to achieve. It is also recommended that you drink at least two litres of pure water every day; difficult for some of us, but the results make the effort worthwhile, as this helps to flush away any toxins released from the system.
