Active for Life Staying active is one of the best things we can do for ourselves, with physical, emotional and mental benefits. As we age, the benefits don’t change, but our abilities do. Over the age of 40, production of Coenzyme Q10, which converts fats and sugars into cellular energy, starts to decline. Udo’s Choice® Cardio Support, which contains a more absorbable form of CoQ10, stimulates cellular energy production. Supplementing with this unique formula can help restore healthy levels of CoQ10, keeping you moving through life.

Did you know?
It’s been used since the time of the ancient Egyptians as both food and medicine, and in modern times prized for its ability to help reduce/lower cholesterol, a risk factor for heart disease. Thanks to Flora Organic Flax Oil, incorporating the benefits of flax couldn’t be easier.
We’ve got three reasons to fall for flax, and infuse your diet with this healthful oil:
1. Flora Organic Flax Oil is easy to incorporate With just a splash, you can take your summer salad dressings, yogurt parfaits and post-workout smoothies to the next level.
Fall in Love With Flax 2. It’s a source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids Flaxseed and flaxseed oil are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) must be supplied through diet or a supplement. ALA specifically is necessary for cell membrane, and proper brain and nervous system functioning. Flax has the highest level of ALA of all plant-based oils, at about 55%.
3. Localize Your Health
One way to celebrate Canada, and your health, is by supporting the Canadian flax industry. Flora Organic Flax Oil is made with 100% Canadian flax seeds, so you can feel good when you add it to the mix.
Focus on: Men's Health Summer is a great time to get active. Men, here are some tips for optimal health - body, mind and soul - this summer.
Get out of your comfort zone Keep activities fresh by trying something new. Start by making a list of things you’ve always wanted to do. Pick one, then ask yourself, why am I not doing it? Make a plan to make it happen.
Get informed Stay mindful of the unique challenges men face. Take prostate health, for example. Almost all men by the age of 70 will have some prostate enlargement, also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Other symptoms of BPH include difficulty with, and frequent, urination. Thankfully, there is a natural solution in Flora Saw Palmetto Prostate Formula.
What’s going on above the neck deserves as much attention as what’s below. Consider adding meditation, yoga, or a daily gratitude practice to your health regimen.
