Greetings!
Vitamin deficiency is the topic of this month's newsletter. It occurs more than you think so be aware and make sure you take your multi-vitamin daily for your health insurance! My most popular product is Super Supplemental from Nature's Sunshine. People really love this well-balanced multi- vitamin. Unlike most other products currently available on the market, Super Supplemental's ingredients are mainly derived from herbs and other natural sources. It is on special this month so try it today!
Why are vitamins important?
Every cell in the body relies on a sufficient supply of vitamins to do its metabolic work. In this way, vitamins perform many functions. Among other things, they promote blood formation and healthy skin, hair and vision; they help help to maintain muscles and nerves; and they aid in the release of energy from foods.
Recent research suggests that some vitamins can even help prevent certain disorders, such as cataracts, arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Most vitamins must be obtained from foods or supplements because the body cannot produce them. Vitamin deficiencies are common in many groups of people: dietiers; the elderly; pregnant or nursing women; people under stress; and those taking medications, such as cortisone or antibiotics. Plus, cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, and birth control pills, fast food, and processed foods all rob the body of vitamins.
The first signs of a vitamin deficiency are fatigue, irritability and anxiety. Over time the immune system will weaken.

Preserving Vitamins |
 |
| Overcooking, light, air and long storage diminish the vitamin content of fruits and vegetables. To minimize vitamin loss:
* Buy locally grown produce.
* Choose frozen fruits and vegetables over canned; they're more nutritious.
* Wash and cut produce just before serving; don't buy precut fruits and vegetables.
*Select organic fruit, and eat skins of pears and apples.
*Steam vegetables rather than boiling them.

Vitamin-Rich Cocktails |
|
| Raw fruits and vegetables are the best sources of vitamins, and drinking fresh juices made from them is a delicious way to take advantage of their nutritional power. Use a juicer to make the following fruit and vegetable cocktails.
TO BOOST THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: 2 carrots, 1/2 lemon, 1 stalk celery, 1/2 red beet, 1 handful wheatgrass.
TO GUARD AGAINST CANCER: 3 carrots, 1/2 apple, 1 handful broccoli florets.
TO IMPROVE VISION: 2 endive leaves, handful of parsley, 4-5 carrots, 2 stalks of celery.
TO RENEW CELLS AND FIGHT THE AGING PROCESSES: 3 carrots, 1 handful spinach, 1 orange, tsp. olive oil.

Antioxidant Power |
|
| Beta-carotene (found in dark green vegetables and orange fruits and vegetables), vitamin C (found in citrus fruits and broccoli) and vitamin E (found in nuts, vegetable oils and dark leafy greens) are all natural antioxidants. These substances help neutralize free radicals, which in turn help prevent accelerated aging and fight disease, such as cancer and heart disease.
If you aren't getting the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis take advantage of a supplement.

**Product Focus** LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL |
|
 I have used Lemon Oil for its anti-infectious and anti- viral properties. It's a great addition to the Sunshine Concentrate you should already be using for hand soap. Add 7 drops to the quart-size container for hand soap at your sinks. If you have another spray bottle that you use with Sunshine Concentrate for cleaning countertops, you can add Lemon Oil to it to disinfect with every wipe!
Lemon Oil can be used to keep iced tea fresh. It gives it a nice flavor also and tastes good longer than tea without it.
Diffused in the air it helps to clean the air of hostile bacteria and viruses. You can put it in some warm water and diffuse it into the air of a 'sick room' or around your desk if you don't want to 'catch' what everybody else has.
It is also known to make people more alert and positive. Somebody informed me she was using this in an electric potpourri pot (diffused from warm water) in her office and noticed a big difference in performance and attitude of her staff.
