Bernando LaPallo 111 Oldest Member USANA Health Sciences

Bernando LaPallo age 111 years young

 111 Year Old Bernando LaPallo Joins Usana Health  Sciences

Author, lecturer and possibly the healthiest living centenarian on the planet, Bernando LaPallo, is now the oldest living member of Usana Health Sciences, the nutritional manufacturing company founded in 1992 by Dr. Myron Wentz. Bernando's website for his product offerings is scheduled to launch Tuesday, February 5, 2013 and will be posted to his official facebook fan page and be linked to his official website Age Less Live More Store   USANA manufactures a personal skin and body care line that uses pure botanicals, antioxidant complexes and marine enzymes using a  patented self preserving technology that has revolutionized the skin care industry by removing the need for harsh chemical preservatives. The line is free of parabens (petroleum) and pthaltes (plastics) that Bernando feels is detrimental to the human organism. Bernando is happy to introduce this complete skin and body care line suitable for the entire family that provides topical nutrition to the skin. The skin is the first to bare the brunt of contact with the elements and the last to receive nutrients from the body. Green tea, Proflavanol - T, Proteo -  C  are some of the featured ingredients and complexes that help slow down the visible signs of aging. 

"This is nutrition for the skin at a cellular with nothing harsh to dry it out.

The skin is the largest organ in the body and it's important to keep it healthy and soft. If you use it on a regular base maybe your skin will be as soft as mine."

  The Sense skin care line is manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices.

Bernando is working on his second book which is scheduled to be released the Summer of 2013 just before his 112th birthday. Stay tuned!

Parabens & Cancer Conserving the Eastern Seaboard Water Table

Delaware River Basin runs through NY,NJ,PA,DL and out to Sea

One of the things I appreciate the most about USANA Health Sciences is the commitment it has made to being green in it's manufacturing practices utilizing solar panels, wind energy, cutting back on printed materials, and making employees who do not drive a hybrid car park at the back of their parking lot to walk to the front thus ensuring they get a a little exercise in the process!  The company states that they realize as people we cannot be healthy if the planet we live on is not healthy. Amen to that. After all, the raw materials used to manufacture the nutritional supplements, foods and the personal body care lines are sourced and derived from Mother Earth. I personally use the Sense skin care and body care line because it is free of parabens  that damage my skin's ability to produce collagen and damage my immune system. As a female, I have absolutely zero interest in contracting breast cancer or any other form of cancer. Armed with the understanding that my skin ingests anything and everything I put on it, I use the entire Sense body care line with great joy knowing that it is protecting my skin from the damages of oxidative stress now found everywhere from the air I breathe to even my water supply.

Carcinogens and Cancer

 8.5 years of research was poured into the Sense line to find a way to remove parabens while preserving the healing effects of the pure botanicals without adding harsh chemical preservatives. Now the time has come to ban these same carcinogens from our water supply forever. When I see the endless campaigns for racing for a cure for cancer by various foundations in the here in now of  2013, I wonder how can they be so ignorant of the link between toxins in products women are using daily? How could they have missed the research that has come out on the importance of Vitamin D, iodine and basic optimal nutrition to boost the female body's ability to protect itself from the production of unhealthy cells? Surely it's high time that females reclaim their health by understanding the inner workings of their bodies right down to their cells and how that is mirrored in the health of the Great Female we are all dependent on EARTH. I have written several posts about the links between cancer and petroleum products. This time I am asking you to take action by speaking up now until January 11, 2013

January 11 Birthday or Last Day to Comment -  It's the Water Stupid

January 11, 2013 is a significant day for me and my family and for Dr. Sandra Steingraber a cancer survivor. On an intimate scale, it concludes the birthday  week of my beautiful nephew who will be turning 11 years of age. He is smart, full of life and full of plans to live a life of adventure and as his aunt I am here to help see him do it. It is also the last day for New Yorkers to have say on the inadequate fracking regulations hastily thrown together by the DEC that affect every living entity on the East Coast that share the Delaware River Basin. To be clear those lakes, rivers, parks, camping grounds and beaches you and your family escape to find refuge in Spring, Summer, Fall and for the extra sturdy Winter are under direct threat. Scholar in residence at Ithaca College, Dr. Steingraber is the subject of the documentary, "Living Downstream" linking her own cancer intimately to the agriculture practices to where she grew up in Illinois. She has put together the brilliant and informative website to deliver out comments to the DEC on the folly of fracking Thirty Days of Fracking Regs. Damascus Citizens group had this to say about our final days to submit our comments to the DEC and the importance of our voices.
"The oil/gas industry has exemptions to major portions of protective federal legislation (the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act, the Community Right to know Act and others). What this means is that the drilling companies don't face liability for damages they cause.  The surrounding community and regions downstream absorb those costs - even the global implications are externalized.   Yes, they should have to PROVE the processes will cause no harm, but we have seen what damage they actually do.   Have your say - so later when we go to court you will have helped make the case for sanity and health.  Our comments do make a difference."

Have a Healthy New Year. Please comment here now: 30 Days of Fracking Regs

Hydrating Toner - A Rave Review from A Tough Audience

Lee Chamberlin

One of my toughest customers has been my own mother. A fountain of support in innumerable ways convincing her to try the Sense skin care line was not easy. I thought I had a slam dunk at Christmas time. The Basic Pack was the perfect gift. It's a rare woman that can resist beauty treatments right?  What could be sweeter than getting a little TLC in the form of spa grade products from your  own daughter?  I was excited at the prospect of how thrilled I thought she would be and imagined she would scamper off to the bathroom right away to try them out. I was pleased knowing that I had given her something that was easy to travel with, packaged to protect from UV rays and bacteria, that would last her months and was nourishing and healing to her skin.When the Big Day arrived with everyone unwrapping their presents I anticipated her squeals of delight.

                                                 Frosty Reception?

Perhaps it was because she had already tried a bajillion products that had disappointed her again and again. Perhaps my claims that the products would heal, nourish, hydrate and balance her skin at a cellular level just seemed too farfetched. Whatever the case, my mother the veteran of spa facial treatments from the top purveyors of said services in the cities of Los Angeles and New York was unmoved. Why should she believe these products would help her complexion when expensive treatments had only provided temporary relief?  How could it be so simple? She had endured steaming, squeezing and laser treatments for all those years and had spent a small fortune on products. In short, I was just her daughter and what did I know? While she assured me she would try them once back in France (much to my chagrin) and only after all her other products had run out,  it was clear I was going to have to wait. And wait. And wait.

Clary Sage, Green Tea & Grape Seed help refine and brighten the skin

Last week and nearly a year later I finally got this amazing testimonial.

 "The hydrating toner is just that. At last I have found the perfect solution for my skin that truly balances it- and that's a good thing." 

 - Lee Chamberlin, Artistic Director, PIP 

The combination of clary sage, green tea and grape seed extracts help refine and brighten the skin while gently removing excess dirt and makeup. Pores are closed and the skins natural ph balance restored. I discovered in our follow up conversation that she had been using soap to clean her skin. This is a big no no. Soap is drying and clogging and while it might be okay for your body depending on what kind it is I do not recommend it for the face. I had assumed she knew that and had failed to ask more probing questions from the outset. She revealed that she realized the soap had been clogging her pores and drying out her skin which lead to her sebaceous glands producing more oil to compensate for the drying effect of the soap which created more pimples. You can see the round robin effect of drying, clogging and oily breakouts. I asked her how she liked the soap free cleanser and she said "It works well!" It turns out these two products are her favorites. And there you have it -  The equivalent of a rave review from one of the toughest critics in the world. (Love you forever Mom.)

___________________________________________________________________________________
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in many of our body’s functions — including Anti Aging! This clinically-proven ingredient is the ultimate multi-tasker.
It’s known as a potent antioxidant and a key player in the fight against visible aging. But not all Vitamin C formulations are created equal. If the Vitamin C is not stable, it can actually promote oxidation, causing damage.
All Sensé products contain Vitamin C in the form of our exclusive PROTEO-C™ Vitamin C complex. PROTEO-C is an incredibly stable form of Topical Nutrition. If used daily, skin will become healthier and look more radiant.

Protection From Environment

Lifestyle and environmental factors can really take a toll on our complexion. As the body’s largest organ, our skin needs potent antioxidants to fight off free radicals. Stress, sun, and pollution can all damage collagen and accelerate the signs of aging.Vitamin C has long been known to be highly effective in protecting our skin from environmental stress, resulting in visibly healthier skin.

Even Tone and Discoloration

Skin discoloration happens when pigment becomes unevenly distributed throughout your skin, resulting in redness and dark spots. Vitamin C is known as a natural source for skin lightening. When used consistently over time, it can help fade the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C also help with the natural exfoliation process so dull, dry skin cells spend less time sitting at the top of your skin. This helps skin appear more radiant and youthful.

Stimulate Collagen for Younger-Looking Skin

As mentioned above, Vitamin C helps boost the skin’s natural exfoliation process. Known for stimulating collagen, a key structural protein of the skin, Vitamin C can dramatically improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also increasing elasticity, which helps the skin remain firm. Overall, you get a great Anti Aging effect.

Thanks Jessica!

__________________________________________________________________________________
For some time it has been a fashionable routine for women to shave their legs. It is possible to shave your legs and end up with a nice, close shave with smooth skin and no razor burn.
Shaving can be a good alternative to painless hair removal with the right razor and using Sensé products.
To have a great shave, and best results, here are a few Dos and Dont's to consider:
Shave in the morning when legs are less puffy
Soak legs in warm water for a few minutes to open the follicles
Purchase a razor designed especially for women! They are a different shape from razors men use for their face. It is best to use a blade razor only 3 times (it does not need to be expensive)
Never dry shave; you can get razor burn, cuts and scratches
Bending your legs makes shaving easier. You can do this by propping your foot on the edge of the bathtub. Work on one leg at a time
Start at the ankle and shave upward. Hair grows downward on legs
Avoid going over the same area
Sensé Products to Have On-Hand…
Rice Bran Polisher or
Energizing Shower Gel
Firming Body Nourisher
Sensé Hair Conditioner
Hydrating Toner
Night Renewal Crème
Don’t Forget…Warm water
Fresh sharp razor
Rinse off cloth
Fluffy towel

Step 1

Exfoliate your legs with Rice Bran Polisher or with Sensé Shower Gel.
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, making it easier for the razor to shave off hair. Your razor is then less likely to get clogged with dead skin cells. Rinse.

Firming Body Nourisher

Step 2

Lather a good layer of Firming Body Nourisher on the first leg and start shaving. Or, if you prefer, you can use the Sensé Nourishing Conditioner. Always keep legs wet while shaving to prevent nicks. Rinse razor off every few strokes under warm water to keep blades clean and clear of cream and hair for smooth shaving.

Sense Nourishing Conditioner contains Silk

Step 3
Rinse legs with cool water to remove any remaining cream from your legs and to help in closing the pores.

Step 4
Shaving leaves your skin vulnerable with open pores and dryness without the natural oils from your missing hairs. Just like your face, you need to restore the skin’s pH and refine pore size before applying your final step. Dampen a cotton pad with Sensé Toner and blend over the shaved skin. Once dry, apply the final moisturizing cream to prevent skin dryness. (This is a good tip for guys shaving their faces btw- ekayani)

Restore ph and pore size with Hydrating Toner

Step 5

Apply soothing Night Renewal Crème, an intense moisturizer for even, soft legs. I recommend the Sensé Night Renewal cream for the calming effect required after shaving. Firming Body Nourisher contains exfoliants that are not necessary after a shaving program and it might make the skin sensitive for some people. Nothing is worse than putting on those summer shorts or a short dress, only to realize your legs need to be shaved.

Use Night Renewal to calm skin after shaving

Bea's Tip; If you plan on using a spray on tan, make sure you have exfoliated your skin first. You especially need to exfoliate and shave your legs for better coverage. It is best to wait one day after shaving before applying a spray on tan.

Transformation with Usana - Spotlight on Meagan Perry

After: Meagan May  2012

Before: Meagan third to the right May 2011

Spotlight on Meagan Perry

Transformations can be subtle. They can also be dramatic. Subtle because as we change we don't always notice how we are transforming. We get up everyday and look at the same old face in the mirror with the same old mouth, same old eyes, same old hair. But what if that same old you could get an upgrade just by adding the good stuff to your life? Like Aretha sings "I got a brand new smile ...just because of you!"..or in Meagan Perry's case a good dose of cellular nutrition.

I met Meagan in the Spring of 2011 in her persona as a talented musician. Since that time Meagan has gone through an incredible transformation. In the six short months (as of this writing) since joining Usana as an associate she has changed. To my eyes it couldn't be more dramatic. She has become a "product of the products" and that is a difference obvious to me from looking at the "AFTER" and "BEFORE" photos of her here. I snapped the "after" photo of Meagan in May 2012 when she came back to Brooklyn for a visit from her home town. I hadn't seen her in five months since she had left to pursue her studies. I was amazed at the transformation! Her skin glowed and she had lost weight. I felt I was now seeing the beautiful gem of a girl radiating health. I had enrolled Meagan back in December after she had tried Usana's Probiotic. Although we kept in touch by phone nothing prepared me for what I saw.

Improve your digestive health with Usana's Probiotic

Dr. Myron Wentz founder of USANA Health Sciences

Becoming a Product of the Products

At Usana Health Sciences Dr. Wentz's vision for health means starting with the very people who share his vision and his products with others. Rather than spending millions of dollars on advertising with paid spoke persons, he felt that an authentic testimonial by someone who was actually using the products on a regular basis and feeling the benefits would be much more powerful. (All active associates are enrolled in autoship and get the products of their choice every month.)  In Meagan's case her increased health and energy, radiant skin, stronger nails, and healthy hair had the people closest to her taking notice! At 26 this is quite a statement. Skin that was plagued by blemishes was suddenly clear and glowing from the regular use of Sense's paraben free skin care line. Those stubborn pounds were shed and stayed off just by taking The Essentials daily and incorporating Usana's Nutrimeal shakes and bars. Meagan has become a touchstone for her family and friends as her inner beauty comes to the forefront. I anticipate more changes in Meagan as the months unfold. As she continues to develop her Usana business and her dreams of health and freedom for her community her path will only get brighter. A solid foundation of health and wealth makes it all possible.  I want to close by personally thanking you Meagan for taking care of your health and inspiring every one around you to do the same. It is a joy to watch and be a part of! Thank you! You can visit Meagan's site here

Changing Lives with USANA; The Oliva Family

Emory, Cathy and Rosa Oliva posing in Nutritious Cream Masque

Sunday June 10, 2012 Brooklyn New York

Cathy Oliva is a new associate with Usana Health Sciences. She has recently advanced to rank of SHARER. I met Cathy two years ago at a boot camp training where I had an USANA booth. When Cathy went through a health scare recently she called me. Her doctor urged her to start taking supplements to boost her immune system. After taking the Health Assessment Advisor we designed a customized MyHealthpak for Cathy to address her specific needs. After just two weeks her energy levels increased and the lady who used to struggle with fatigue is now bounding up and down the staircase in the school where she works. Her co - workers have noticed the difference in her and have been inquiring -  and buying!  Cathy began drinking Strawberry Nutrimeal shakes adding some  Fibergy.

Weight fluctuation has been a problem and after explaining to Cathy that not eating breakfast can contribute to weight gain, she quickly embraced Usana's easy to prepare meal replacement shakes. Why the body reacts this way is an interesting topic.  In essence the body bulks up to protect itself from starvation. Millions of Americans are depriving their bodies of essential nutrients and are paying the price with little to no energy as they struggle to get through the day. Nutrimeal has provided a reliable and convenient way for Cathy to get the nutrients her body needs in the limited time she has without the extra calories. 

Making Health Salad

Managing Time for More Fruits and Veggies 

As a single working mother of three finding the time to insure adequate intakes of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis can be a challenge. We visited Cathy at home and showed her a couple of simple recipes that could be prepared ahead of time and then stored for use during the rest of the week. Based on the ideas set forth in Sunday Set Up by dedicating two hours on her shopping day she saves time. She  simply cuts up nutrient rich foods and stores them. (This  also saves her  money ordering fast food.) A variation of this idea is a health salad recipe we shared with Cathy gleaned from my grandfather Bernando LaPallo. Cabbage, carrots, red or green peppers, celery and onion are finely sliced, dressed with apple cider vinegar and honey and then stored until ready to eat. Before serving simply sprinkle olive oil on top and garnish with fresh tomato or avocado slices. It's absolutely delicious!  We also showed Cathy how to make a Fresh Fruit Salad recipe.

The Skin Your In
At USANA we definitely emphasize the importance of nutrition not only inside the body but outside the body. Cathy says, "I want to be the person who is an example of health to others." Taking care of the skin is important. It is one of the first things a person sees about you. Healthy skin is radiant and Sense's products contain built in topical nutrition without harsh chemical preservatives. I conducted a spa party and product demo for the Oliva women with mother Rosa, Cathy and kid sister Emory around the dining room table. Explaining the full line of Sense paraben free personal care products is an empowering experience. As women we exercise a profound influence on the lives of our children, communities and environment by the shopping choices we make. In a world of fads and dangerous petrochemicals, Sense BeautifulScience stands out while raising the bar on beauty.

Dr. Myron Wentz founder of Usana health Sciences

Dr. Wentz and his team spent ten years on research and testing to find a way to eliminate the use of parabens.This is extraordinary! The result has been a breakthrough product line.  Based on pain staking research and study, Sense harnesses the genius of nature using concentrated formulas that are hypo allergenic and suitable for all skin types. "My skin feels soft and smooth." Rosa said. "It looks more moist. " said Emory. Cathy is planning her first Sense Spa Party for her girlfriends in July.

RESET Four Ways

Lose the Cravings Lose the Pounds Find the New You

Cathy, Rosa, Emory and one more sister are all gearing up for their RESET 5 Day Jump Start Cleanse program. Now this is what family is for! Each Oliva has a slightly different reason for wanting to do the challenge. Rosa wants to clean herself out. Emory wants to get swimsuit ready. Cathy wants to lose the weight that has crept up on her while the oldest sister wants to get started on healthier dietary habits. Stay tuned for a future update on their progress.

 

Let's Talk About Natural Moisturizing Factors guest post by Bea Kinnear

A Note from Ekayani;  I recently used the information here for a presentation I did for a professional business group. The information here is so thorough and explained so well it makes a strong case on the importance of taking care of the skin the largest organ in the human body. I found it particularly effective with the gentlemen present as it made the argument from a science based perspective. Beauty really is more than just skin deep.It was so good I just had to share!
"The following is a guest post written by Bea Kinnear, a USANA Associate and author of Your Skin & You. She is owner and moderator of the Yahoo! Sensé Help Site, where she works with Kathleen Rockney, Jacquie Malinowski, and Janet Bernstein to educate members about skin care.

While we all experience the aging process, we may not fully see it as it’s happening. The rate at which we age is determined by many factors, some of which we may have an effect on, others are beyond our control.
Damaged protein has already accumulated in the skin. Surface roughness, flaking, fine lines, and a tight uncomfortable feeling start occurring as we age. This indicates that both the skin’s surface and healing process are impaired because the skin’s intercellular matrix is now less effective.¹
One of the primary elements in keeping your skin healthy is making sure the outer layer of skin is intact. The components that do this are usually called Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs), ingredients that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin.

The Importance of Water

The most important substance for the suppleness of the skin is water. When we were young our skin was smooth and soft to the touch. That changes when we get older. We will start to see visible changes like smile lines between the age of 25 and 30.
Aging enzymes affect our skin, as does the loss of compounds that help maintain skin firmness. While oil and fat components of skin prevent evaporation and provide lubrication to the surface of skin, Natural Moisturizing Factors are between skin cells and in the lipid content on the surface of skin.
Should water content be lost, the skin will lose its tone, become less elastic and flexible. Less volume will also make the skin dry, rough, and not able to function properly.
Water is the carrier medium for nutrition as well as for detoxing. Your skin cells need proper moisture and hydration; without this, nutrients cannot be delivered to the living cells. A cosmetic formulation can directly moisturize the skin by feeding it with NMF ingredients.
Lack of moisture in your skin contributes more to aging than the following:

• Sun exposure (promotes wrinkles and skin cancer)
• Smoking (suffocates skin and destroys collagen, skin tissue that cannot be replaced)
• Caffeine (dehydrates the skin)
• Polluted air (DNA damage)
• Weight variation (weakens the muscle tone)
• Estrogen changes
• Alcohol
• Fragrant volatile essential oils (found in some skin care products)

NMFs and Sensé

Just as you would expect in any state-of-the-art skin care line, Sensé offers NMFs throughout the product line.
NMFs make up an expansive group of ingredients. Listed below are the NMFs found in Sensé products:

• Amino acids
• Olive oil
• Glycerin
• Sodium PCA
• Lactic acid
• Urea
• Jojoba oil
• Shea butter
• Squaline (from olives)

When any of these ingredients are included in skin-care products, they help stabilize and maintain the complex intercellular-skin matrix. This support helps prevent surface irritation from penetrating into the skin, which helps keep bacteria out and aids the skin’s immune/healing system.
Moisturizers should not be just about moisturizing your skin; they should also prevent moisture loss through ingredients like NMFs. Using moisturizers of any kind that contain NMFs (whether the products are labeled as anti-aging, antiwrinkle, serums, lotions, or sunscreens) will allow your skin to do its job of repairing and regenerating itself.
Keep in mind that moisturizers should not be applied to dry skin because it can seal germs into the pores. The correct way to apply a moisturizer is to dampen your face first. When you do this you minimize the chance of sealing germs in the pores.
When you start your Sensé routine with the Gentle Daily Cleanser on pre-dampened skin you are also on track for your moisturizer application.

Hydrated, Healthy Skin

While a person cannot alter the genetic component of skin aging, an individual can certainly change one’s behavior to reduce the risk of incurring the signs of extrinsic aging.
Maintain your skin’s hydration and tone by using Sensé’s anti-aging products. This allows your skin to do its job of regenerating itself without the impediments brought on when skin is suffering from dryness and irritation.
NMFs are the skin’s own self-moisturizing tool. The NMF ingredients found in Sensé mimics the structure and function of healthy skin and is one of the most important things you can do for your face.

Client Testimonial - Ivy Diaz on Sense skin care

Ivy pointing to her "soft side" post Sense spa treatment

Ivy Diaz works as an insurance agent at New York Life. Warm and vivacious, Ivy has a busy high powered life in New York City dividing her time between her professional and family responsibilities. I had a one on one session with Ivy at my home office taking her through the entire Sense paraben free skin care line.  This is what she had to say.

Feel the Difference -  Half Face Product Demo Demonstrates Results

"Oh Ekayani, I have to thank you with a special message because today was an excellent day with all the trimmings and all your wisdom which brought me to a new level in my life with half of my face feeling Oh - So - Soft like touching cotton or a baby’s bottom!!! Skin is so important to me. If I take care of my skin it will take care of me. So when you and I had our one-on-one  today IT was a blessing.  I learned so much from you! You truly know your profession. Something no one knows about you is the fact that you truly have a special story to share which brings out your passion with your business.  And you owe it first and foremost to your Grandpa who is 110!  I was so touched and now I feel so much closer to you!"

Ekayani with her Inspirational 110 Year Old Grandfather Bernando LaPallo

Sharing Our Stories - The Impact of Inspiration

"You are an inspirational person. (Thanks Ivy.) You take your time to explain how you got to where you are today, what inspired you to get there, who were your key inspirations, and why you believe so much in what you do today. If I knew yesterday, what I learned today, the Anti-Oxidants, Anti-Aging, and Protection would all be part of my 24/7 life proving it with my tight and hydrated skin! But as I learned from you, it is never too late!!!"

Ivy purifying and hydrating her skin with Sense Nutritious Cream Masque

Save Money With Products That Work

"I also learned that the kind of money we spend today for so many items that promise to deliver a tight and hydrated skin is actually killing our skin ever so softly with it deadly chemicals. So giving to ourselves, which is the best gift of all and we’ll believe in the magic and miracles, that only “Ekayani” can introduce us to in under 1.5  hours!"

Live Life to the Fullest

"So I’ve always said it but I’ll say it again LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST! No matter what our age, we need to just take that step and adjust according to age because as I learned from you today it was your turn to be creative with me and it was my time to surprise myself doing something new.  I have to say I spent the morning in a very meaningful way because you greeted me with a loving embrace and after our time ended I knew I was active and my day was a good one. You didn’t hesitate to complete our One-on-One and you sure cared, from beginning to end!

Thank you so much, for your time and caring ways!"

XOXOXO

Best,

IVY
