Essential Oils & Exercise Part 2: Workout/Post-Workout

Now that you are all warmed up with the pre-workout suggestions found in the post Essential Oils & Exercise Part 1, it’s time to begin your workout! When working out it is important to remember three things: technique, hydration, and recovery.

TechniqueProper technique and form help you avoid injury and maximize results. A vital part of proper technique is how you breathe. During aerobic exercises, get your breathing into a pattern; when training with weights, exhale when exerting.

Keep Breathe Again™ close by to help open nasal passages. Know your limitations and don’t overdo it. If you are new to this type of exercise, start out with a basic workout.

HydrationThe importance of staying hydrated cannot be understated. Keeping your body properly hydrated helps flush out the toxins that are released when working out. Adding a few drops of Peppermint essential oil to your water keeps you alert during your workout.

Recipe: NingXia Red Sherbet

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond milk
• 1 ¾ cups NingXia Red®
• ¾ cup Young Living Yacon Syrup (may also substitute with Blue Agave or 15 drops Stevia Extract)
• 4 drops Tangerine essential oil (may substitute with other citrus essential oils)
• 6 Life 5™ capsules (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• ½ cup chopped Ningxia wolfberries (optional)

Directions:

Mix together almond milk, NingXia Red, Yacon Syrup, Tangerine essential oil, and vanilla extract. If desired, open Life 5 capsules and add to the mix. Add ingredients to an ice cream or yogurt maker. Add the fruit halfway through the freezing process or when serving (this keeps the fruit from freezing solid). I also like to soak the wolfberries in NingXia Red to make them juicier.

Protect Yourself with Young Living

Here are some tips to protect yourself and the ones you love with Young Living products:

• Wash your hands frequently with Thieves® Foaming Hand Soap.
• Use Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier frequently.

Sanitize surfaces and places that are known to harbor germs. Desks, computers, lockers, or any other place where multiple hands touch are great ways to spread germs.

Here are a few sanitizing tips using Young Living products:

• Use Thieves Wipes or Thieves Spray on desks, chairs, lunch tables, computer mouse and keyboards, bathroom areas.
• Use 1–2 drops of lemon essential oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots, glue or adhesive, and crayon from most surfaces.

In addition to sanitizing areas, make sure to get adequate sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly.

Introducing the new NingXia Red

What’s red, has been newly reformulated, and can change your life? Of course the answer is NingXia Red!

That’s right, we’ve transformed NingXia Red starting with its bottle and ending with its benefits. We’re confident you’ll be as excited as we are with its new look, great flavor, and additional benefits. So what’s new?

• The whole fruit of the Ningxia wolfberry drives NingXia Red’s new flavor profile. This change was accomplished by reducing the blueberry flavor, so you may now enjoy the true wolfberry flavor as nature intended.

• Seven times more pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils have been added directly to the product. Orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils were chosen for their health-supporting benefits and flavor profile.

• The custom, nonporous, and impermeable glass 750-ml bottle ensures NingXia Red’s freshness and taste.

NingXia Red: A Daily Dose of Amazing Wolfberry

I sometimes smile when I walk past the cubicles on my floor. Seen on almost every desk: a 30 pack of NingXia Red® single-serve packets or a 1-liter bottle fresh from the refrigerator. Young Living employees are clearly big believers in the benefits of NingXia Red. What is it about this functional juice that is worth taking every day?

Avoid Holiday Overeating

Healthy living is a habit. At some point, most of us have determined and resolved to live a healthier life. Even more often, we’ve probably stumbled. And with modern diets often lacking whole-food nutrition, you can see how this can influence your quality of life. Research supports that diets low in fat and highly processed foods and high in nutritive value and fiber decrease your risk for cancer, heart disease, obesity, and a number of other ailments.

The holiday season is upon us, and that means cakes, pies, cookies, eggnog, and lots of holiday parties! It also means that the average American will gain somewhere between one to two pounds and eat nearly twice as much saturated fat and sugar. We’re on a quest to find out if a cleanse today can pay dividends in the coming weeks.

NingXia Shots

Trust me when I say you haven’t experienced convention until you have visited the NingXia Red® bar! Having tended bar at last month’s convention in Orlando, I now have firsthand knowledge. My experience included mixing shots, leading drinking games, and general shooting the breeze with bar patrons. I gained valuable knowledge regarding which oils go well together and also which shots are for sipping and which ones are for shooting. Some attendees showed up with a mix already in mind, but most came looking for a recommendation.

The most frequently asked question was “where can I get a copy of these shot mixes?” No where. Well, until now. Consider this your lucky day!

NingXia Bar Shot Mixes (designed for use with 1–2 oz. NingXia Red)

Who Let the Dogs Out?
1 drop lemon or orange essential oil
2 drops tangerine essential oil
1 drop sacred frankincense essential oil
1 drop cinnamon bark essential oil
