<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">&#8220;&#8230; the nutrient of the decade!</span></strong><span style="color: #008000;">&#8220;</span></p>
<p>There are a number of products containing NTFactor®, each uniquely formulated to rebuild your cells and provide other important nutritional considerations. The one featured in this Newsletter, Propax with NTFactor® is a multivitamin supplement packet that is different from any other vitamin packet on the market. Why? Because it contains vitamins, minerals, pre and probiotics, omega 3s, antioxidants and NTFactor® for rebuilding cell membranes.</p>
<p>While antioxidants can only prevent future damage to the cell caused by free radicals, NTFactor® repairs it!</p>
<p>Discovered in a laboratory by Nutritional Therapeutics, Inc., NTFactor® is being hailed by doctors and scientists as &#8220;the nutrient of the decade&#8221;!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Here&#8217;s what some of them have to say&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;I recommend Propax with NT Factor to everyone interested in reducing fatigue, increasing energy and improving health and longevity. I use Propax myself everyday!&#8221; </em></strong><strong>Professor Garth Nicolson, Ph.D.</strong>, President &amp; Chief Scientific Officer of The Institute for Molecular Medicine,  <a href="http://cl.exct.net/?qs=9708e0f9de26fe380a55bb653090ec68532ff788a871dd02451bff357f447d1b">www.immed.org</a>, leading researcher for fatigue, anti-aging, cancer and autoimmune diseases</p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;Based on proven clinical findings, I have placed over 3000 of my patients on Propax, </em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>the majority of whom experience the same overall health and quality of life improvements as I found in my clinical trials.&#8221; </em></strong><strong>Rita Ellithorpe, M.D.</strong>, Diplomat of the Board of Anti-Aging Medicine, Founder and Medical Director of Tustin Longevity Center</p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;My experience with patients and radio listeners convinces me that Propax represents an exciting key element in a multi-pronged nutritional program to halt and reverse degenerative diseases.&#8221; </em></strong><strong>Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D.</strong>, New York, NY</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Here&#8217;s what patients have to say&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Bob S. </strong>&#8220;I became severely ill with Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome in 1985&#8230;until I was totally disabled and forced into disability retirement. My health continued to deteriorate until spring of 1994 when I was hospitalized&#8230;. I  began taking NTFactor at the recommendation of Dr. Garth Nicolson shortly after I was released from the hospital. Since then I have noticed a significant increase in my energy level.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>T. Conte. </strong>&#8220;I had a double bypass in &#8216;98. From the time I had the bypass until two years ago I had no drive, no ambition, no energy, nothing. It was kind of like when&#8217;s the end coming, let&#8217;s get it over with. I started taking this [Propax with NTFactor] and  after three weeks all of a sudden I said to my wife, Come on let&#8217;s go do this, let&#8217;s go do that. And I joined a gym, I now dropped 35 pounds, I feel like a different person. I&#8217;m ready to go back to work. I recommend it highly.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>J. D. </strong>&#8220;I started using Propax with NTFactor® over 6 years ago. I immediately noticed a change in my energy level. Whenever I go on the road I take some extra Propax with NTFactor along since I travel can be so draining. Using Propax with  NTFactor daily has been a great way to feel better overall and ready to go every day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Stacey B. </strong>As a single mother of two daughters, and the owner of a home construction company, by the end of the day all I wanted to do was sit on the couch because I was so tired. I just did not have the energy to do things like to do for fun like kayaking,  let alone getting the kids from one activity to the next. On the recommendation of a friend I started taking Propax with NTFactor&#8230;Within a couple of weeks I started noticing that I had more energy and the kids were complaining that they were &#8216;too&#8217; tired. Thank you for making such a wonderful product, you have a customer for life.&#8221;</p>

		<title>Why Should We Reduce Our Dependency on Prescription Drugs or Products Containing Caffeine, Sugar and Other Additives?</title>

If we can treat our bodies naturally, and it works, isn&#8217;t it always better? Of course! The problem is that many patients are on multiple prescriptions for pharmaceutical drugs that may not be in the best combinations for your health.</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>Also, many so-called &#8220;natural&#8221; products or nutraceuticals contain substances that could actually be just as harmful as pharmaceutical drugs. In addition, many products, including some supplements that are touted as &#8220;natural&#8221; contain large amounts of caffeine and sugar, which have been proven to give you an instant &#8220;pickme-up&#8221; but drop you down quickly and are actually harmful to your cells.</p>
<p>Many cells, such as the cells in the breast tissue of women, are highly susceptible to changes because of caffeine. Additionally, caffeine, like sugar, over-stimulates the adrenals and then weakens them with persistent or chronic use. What happens when we overstimulate our adrenals? EVEN WORSE FATIGUE!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>One of the most significant breakthroughs of the decade is a nutritional compound made up of food components that provide extra nourishment and repairs and rebuilds cell membrane and mitochondrial function (where we naturally produce energy). It REPAIRS damage to cells and PREVENTS future damage. Why choose something unnatural and unhealthy when other options are available? Try NTFactor® products. Propax with NTFactor® is a multisupplement that combines NTFactor® with pre and pro-biotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and omega 3s for a well rounded daily program. No other vitamin supplement contains NTFactor® to rebuild your cells!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The most common risk factors are those developing from, or related to, Type 2 Diabetes. Those most concerned are people already showing signs such as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other similar risks.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, there may be hope on the horizon and it comes from an understated source. A new study shows that long term use of dietary antioxidant supplements have beneficial effects on sugar and fat metabolism, blood pressure, and arterial flexibility in patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Appearing in BioMed Central’s open access journal Nutrition and Metabolism, the researchers found a significant advantage.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; font-size: 12px; color: #333333;">At five points over the course of the school year, participants answered a series of questions and had their CMI measured through a simple skin test.</span></p>
<div><em><strong><span style="color: #333333;"></p>
<p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; margin: 0px;">To gauge their optimism level, they were asked to what degree they agreed with a series of statements, including “I will be less successful than most of my classmates” and “It’s unlikely that I will fail.”</p>
<p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; margin: 0px;">
<p style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; margin: 0px;">The end-of-year results were decisive. Changes in CMI across time correlated with changes in optimism. When optimism increased, so did CMI. When optimism decreased, so did CMI.</p>

<p><strong>Meditation And Your Health</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 12px;">Meditation is a mind-body practice in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). There are many types of meditation, most of which originated in ancient religious and spiritual traditions. </span></p>
<p></span></strong></em><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: normal; font-size: 12px; color: #333333;">Generally, a person who is meditating uses certain techniques, such as a specific posture, focused attention, and an open attitude toward distractions. Meditation may be practiced for many reasons, such as to increase calmness and physical relaxation, to improve psychological balance, to cope with illness, or to enhance overall wellness. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">- HAVE BREAKFAST </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8230; even if you don&#8217;t feel hungry. You&#8217;ll be a lot perkier: Studies show that people who eat breakfast feel  better both mentally and physically than those who skip their morning meal. British researchers at Cardiff University even found that spooning up a bowl of breakfast cereal every morning is associated with lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">- EAT EVERY THREE TO FOUR HOURS. </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Having three smallish meals and two snacks throughout the day can keep your blood sugar and  energy levels stable all day long, says Roberta Anding, R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Note the word &#8220;smallish.&#8221; Supersized meals demand more of your energy to digest, which can leave you feeling lethargic. At each mini-meal, get a mix of carbohydrates  (which the body uses for energy), protein (which helps sustain energy if needed), and healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts, and olives &#8212; these fats and protein contribute to meal satisfaction, so you don&#8217;t go hunting for sweets an hour later and wind up with a short-lived sugar high and subsequent crash. A few meal ideas: a low-fat yogurt parfait with berries and a couple of tablespoons of whole-grain granola; salmon over mixed greens with whole-grain crackers; and beef tenderloin with a baked sweet potato and asparagus.</span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">- FILL UP ON MORE FIBER. </span>Fiber has a time- releasing effect on carbs, so they enter your bloodstream at a slow and steady pace,  giving your energy staying power, says Anding. When choosing your mini-meals (see above), include fiber-filled options that add up to the daily recommended 25 to 30 grams of fiber (the average person gets only between 10 and 15 grams). Some suggestions: a bowl of raisin bran (5 grams of fiber per cup); black beans and cheese wrapped in a multigrain tortilla (beans have 7.5 grams per 1/2 cup; one tortilla has 5 grams); air-popped popcorn (3.6 grams  per 3 cups); an apple with the skin (3.3 grams); and whole wheat spaghetti (6.3 grams per cup).</p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">- FUEL YOUR BRAIN WITH OMEGA-3S. </span>Found in fatty fish (such as tuna and salmon), walnuts, and canola oil, these essential fatty acids play a role in keeping brain cells healthy and helping you feel mentally alert. Another potential bonus: Omega- 3s encourage the body to store carbs as glycogen &#8211; the storage form of glucose (blood sugar) and the body&#8217;s main source  of stored fuel &#8211; rather than as fat.</p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">- STAY HYDRATED. </span>Water makes up the majority of your blood and other body fluids, and even mild dehydration can  cause blood to thicken, forcing the heart to pump harder to carry blood to your cells and organs and resulting in fatigue. Also, ample fluids keep energy-fueling nutrients flowing throughout the body, says Nancy Clark, R.D., author of Nancy Clark&#8217;s  Sports Nutrition Guidebook. To gauge your hydration, Clark recommends monitoring how often you urinate. You should be going every two to four hours, and your urine should be clear or pale yellow in color. Tip: Besides drinking more, you can  also consume foods that naturally contain water, such as yogurt, broccoli, carrots, and juicy fruits, like watermelons, oranges, and grapefruits.</p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">- WATCH CAFFEINE INTAKE AFTER NOON. </span>Typically, consuming a moderate amount of caffeine - 200 to 300 mg, the amount found in  two to three cups of coffee &#8211; can make you more energetic and alert in the hours following, says Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D., a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. But when caffeine is consumed in large quantities &#8211; or  anytime in the afternoon or evening &#8211; the quality of your sleep that night can take a nosedive, leaving you with heavy eyelids the next day. One caution for those who are highly sensitive to caffeine: Although  switching to a decaf latte in the afternoon sounds like the answer, researchers at the University of Florida found that out of 22 decaffeinated coffee beverages tested, all but one contained some caffeine.</p>

<p>Colon cancer comes in third on the list of overall cancer diagnoses every year. Over 100,000 people will be diagnosed, resulting in about 56,000 mortalities. Colon cancer accounts for about 10 percent of all cancer deaths.</p>
<p>However, new research is showing some promise. A new study from the University of North Carolina suggests a unique relationship between the levels of &#8220;good&#8221; and &#8220;bad&#8221; bacteria in your digestive system, and risk of developing colon cancer.</p>
<p>In the study, published in the May/June 2010 journal Gut Microbes, it looks at this shift as a means not only to identify people at high risk for colon cancer, but also as a possible way to prevent it. The researchers believe that for some reason there is a change in the balance of bacteria. The &#8220;good&#8221; bacteria makes way for &#8220;bad&#8221; microbes, which make toxic metabolites. Metabolites are a substance necessary for a metabolic function. When a metabolite is toxic, it is detrimental to your health by interfering with or destroying certain metabolic functions.</p>
<p>So how do you insure a good balance? The answer is to maintain a healthy, functioning, colony of pro-biotics. The best way to keep your &#8220;good&#8221; bacteria is to keep them at a healthy level and provide them with the food they need to sustain themselves. To do this well, combine both pre- and pro-biotics in your diet.</p>
<p>Many functional foods and supplements offer an abundance of pro-biotics, but most do not provide them in a form that is easily digested. For a pro-bitoic to help, it must get into your system in a sustainable form. With many pro-biotics on the market today your body eats up a large portion of the bacteria before it can get where it needs to be. Once in your system the colonies of bacteria need to be sustained and allowed to grow. Pro-biotics feed off pre-biotics and it is this unique combination that allows for the balance you need. As old bacteria die, new ones are formed.</p>
<p>Healthy Aging with NT Factor® provides you with this needed balance. Healthy Aging contains both pre- and pro-biotics and is combined with the unique NT Factor® technology as a transport mechanism. Healthy Aging provides your body with 480 million colony forming units of bifido and lacto bacillus bacterium in each therapeutic dose. Combined with the pre-biotics, these colonies have the potential to reproduce exponentially way beyond that.</p>
<p>What better way to insure the balance of &#8220;good&#8221; and &#8220;bad&#8221; bacteria, than Healthy Aging with NT Factor®. You&#8217;ll get a good balance along with the energy producing and anti-aging benefits of NT Factor®.</p>

<p><em><span style="color: #a52a3f;">We posed a number of questions to Garth L. Nicolson, Ph.D., Nobel-Prize nominated scientist, and President and Chief Scientific Officer of The Institute for Molecular Medicine about this important issue.</span></em></p>
<p><em> </em><span style="color: #007d77;">Professor Nicolson, Why do people get chronic fatigue?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Chronic fatigue or fatigue that lingers and is not reversed by normal sleep occurs naturally during aging and in most degenerative diseases, including neurological, respiratory, coronary, musculoskeletal, metabolic and gastrointestinal diseases, infections and cancer.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">Should we be concerned about fatigue, even if it&#8217;s a natural process of aging?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Absolutely. </span><span style="color: #0269ab;">Chronic or intractable fatigue is the most common complaint of patients seeking medical care.</span><span style="color: #333333;"> It is also an important secondary condition in many degenerative diseases. </span><span style="color: #0269ab;">If we are chronically fatigued, it is a sign at a cellular level that there may be significant damage to the mitochondria</span> <span style="color: #333333;">, which are the energy sources that are like little batteries inside our cells that provide cells with high energy molecules.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">Why is that important?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Damage to mitochondrial components, especially mitochondrial membranes, which occurs mainly by oxidation, can result in increased ion leakage across mitochondrial membranes, and this can impair the ability of mitochondria to produce high-energy molecules needed for cellular metabolism, and eventually for cell survival and growth. It can be thought of like having the batteries in your flashlight leak through the protective outer insulation, and the result is loss of your light as the batteries are drained rather quickly.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">What does that mean in laymen&#8217;s terms to our bodies?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0269ab;">It means that damage is happening to your cells every day from contaminants, toxins and other sources.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">It&#8217;s primarily caused by oxidation, and it&#8217;s like rust formation. When metals rust, they oxidize and eventually fall apart. The human body can be thought of as similar. When our cells &#8220;rust,&#8221; our cellular membranes are damaged, and small holes appear in the membranes that allows ions that are normally sequestered in particular compartments to flow freely, damaging cellular function. That&#8217;s how we can end up in an energy-deficient state. The mitochondria are no longer protected by the &#8220;rusted&#8221; membranes, and they can no longer produce high energy molecules. This is perceived as chronic tiredness or fatigue that sleep won&#8217;t alleviate.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">What exactly in the cell gets damaged from this oxidation?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">During aging and most chronic diseases the production of free radical oxidative molecules, such as Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), can cause oxidative stress and cellular damage, resulting in oxidation of lipids, proteins and our genetic material or DNA. When oxidized, these molecules are structurally and sometimes functionally changed. These ROS/RNS molecules target mitochondria primarily in the lipid parts of the mitochondrial membranes, as well as cellular and mitochondrial DNA.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;">Why is this important?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Everyone needs to understand that when our cell membranes are damaged, it hinders our ability to create high energy molecules, and this can open us up to disease. </span><span style="color: #0269ab;">With the replacement of the damaged or oxidized lipids, it is possible to rebuild the cell membrane and actually reverse the damage.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">If we can rebuild cell function, we can rebuild an oxidation damaged body. From a diseased state, this offers hope and healing. From a healthy state, it offers longevity and it could hold off the effects of diseases associated with aging. The longer we can keep our cells healthy and producing energy, the longer we can live and enjoy active lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Is there something on the market now that can prevent this oxidative cell damage?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Dietary antioxidants and some accessory molecules, such as zinc, magnesium and certain vitamins, are important in maintaining antioxidant and freeradical scavenging systems that neutralize the damaging oxidants. In addition to zinc, magnesium and vitamins, there are at least 40 micronutrients required in the human diet, and aging increases their need to prevent age-associated damage to mitochondria and other cellular elements. </span></span><span style="color: #0269ab;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Antioxidant use alone, however, may not be sufficient to maintain cellular components free of oxidative damage</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, and it cannot reverse the damage once it occurs. Thus, we have developed Lipid Replacement Therapy to replace oxidation-damaged membrane lipids.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What s Lipid Replacement Therapy?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lipid Replacement Therapy is the dietary ingestion of undamaged lipids to replace damaged cellular and mitochondrial membrane phospholipids and other lipids.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">However, just having undamaged lipids in your diet is not the same as Lipid Replacement Therapy, because dietary lipids can be oxidized before they even reach oour cells. The lipids have to be protected during storage, ingestion, digestion and transport to the cells. </span></span><span style="color: #0269ab;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We have developed the product called </span></span><span style="color: #0269ab;"><a title="NTFactor®" href="http://cl.exct.net/?qs=f49f06e647d5bd83c04d4dd2971eafbb5b9cf45ffa747397fc21e23aa9afd2f5"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="color: #0269ab;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">NTFactor®</span></span></a><span style="font-weight: normal;"> to perform this function</span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, and it has been shown to be very effective in reversing oxidative damage to critical membranes in animal and clinical lipid replacement studies.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What is NTFactor</span></span><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">®</span></span><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> and how does it work?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">NTFactor® contains encapsulated or protected lipids taken as a daily oral supplement. The lipids are protected from oxidation and can be absorbed and transported into tissues without oxidative damage. This dietary supplement contains a variety of components, including phospholipids, glycophospholipids and other lipids, nutrients, probiotics (&#8220;friendly bacteria&#8221; that help our digestion), vitamins, minerals and plant extracts.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">And this NTFactor</span></span><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">®</span></span><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> rebuilds my damaged cells?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Yes, it has been shown in several clinical trials to effectively rebuild mitochondrial membranes, improve their function and increase cellular energy, and most importantly, reduce overall fatigue.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In a study with severely chronic fatigued patients we found that fatigue was reduced approximately 40.5%, from severe to moderate or mild fatigue, after eight weeks of supplementation with NTFactor®.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In another recent study, moderately and mildly fatigued patients used NTFactor® for 8 or 12 weeks resulting in a 33% or 35.5% reduction in fatigue, respectively. In this clinical trial there was good correspondence between reductions in fatigue and gains in mitochondrial function. After only 8 weeks of NTFactor® , mitochondrial function was significantly improved and after 12 weeks supplementation, mitochondrial function was found to be similar to that of young healthy adults.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The latest NTFactor® research indicated that NTFactor® in special formulations can significantly reduce fatigue and increase energy in as little as a week. More will be </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">devoted to this in future issues.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></p>
<p style="display: inline !important;"><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">So, Dr. Nicolson, do you recommend NTFactor</span></span><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">®</span></span><span style="color: #007d77;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0269ab;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">NTFactor</span></span><span style="color: #0269ab;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">®</span></span><span style="color: #0269ab;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is the only ingredient I know on the market that effectively rebuilds mitochondrial function</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">by replacing damaged lipids in mitochondrial membranes, resulting in an increase in cellular energy and improved cellular function. I have personally conducted many studies on NTFactor® and have seen firsthand its effectiveness. I recommend it to everyone interested in reducing fatigue, increasing energy and improving health and longevity!</span></span></p>

<p>This is what you tell yourself as you trudge off to another seemingly endless day. Whether it be at work or at home, burnout and exhaustion can be a reality of life, a reality that can just suck all the fun out of your time off.</p>
<p>A vacation is meant to be a time of respite, fun, and activities you enjoy and that relax you. It’s not meant to be spent at home trying to recapture your energy, while you sit on the sidelines. Get back your chance to have fun. Get the energy to enjoy your vacation this summer.</p>
<p>The problem with burnout is that it drains you of mental and physical energy. When you finally get time to yourself, or with your family, you no longer have the energy to enjoy it. Time off becomes a matter of trying to just catch up with your life. Get the yard work done, get caught up with the laundry, to just stay ahead of the rat race of life.</p>
<p>But with energy comes the power to rejoin the game.</p>

<p><em><strong>Do you get enough sleep? </strong></em>People don&#8217;t always realize the importance of getting the right amount of sleep. When you are sleep deprived you are less able to handle stress, and less productive. When you get inadequate sleep on a regular basis, you put yourself at a higher risk for burnout.</p>
<p><em><strong>Do you take a vacation each year or even just a long weekend here and there? </strong></em>To maintain a balanced lifestyle, you need to take time off for yourself and your family. Taking a vacation where you really relax and get away is critical to keeping a balanced state of mind and body.</p>
<p><strong>D</strong><em><strong>o you get the proper nutrition each day? </strong></em>While down time and adequate sleep are critical to your health and wellness, an even more important key component is nutrition. Proper nutrition allows your body to produce the energy it needs to make it through the day. If you find it hard to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need each day, a nutritional supplement is your answer.
