🤔Did you know?

Immune supporting micronutrients can be acquired through healthy eating. Foods that support your body’s immune system are nutrient dense. That means they’re packed with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and other helpful nutrients. Beta-glucans, vitamin C, B vitamins, and zinc are some of the most important immunity nutrients.

They all work to protect your health. These nutrients support the function of immune system cells—like neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer cells. By supporting your natural defenses, immunity nutrition can help maintain your health.

SO, what can we eat to support our body's immune system? 😋

Start with this shopping list, which provides ample dietary sources of immunity nutrition. You should be able to find foods rich in beta-glucans, vitamin C, B vitamins, and zinc at the nearest grocery store.

What exactly is BIOMEGA PLUS?

BiOmega Plus is made with a concentrated dose of premium quality, purified fish oil to deliver a multitude of benefits for your daily wellness. Thousands of studies have shown omega-3s help support several aspects of health:

• Cellular function
• Balanced immune response
• Cardiovascular health
• Brain and nerve activity
• Eye health
• Healthy pregnancies
• Joint and exercise recovery

Plus, research continues to reveal benefits for omega-3 supplementation, including liver and breast health. And that’s not all. This multitasking supplement is fortified with vitamin D for even more support for your cells—where great health starts.

Beyond the added vitamin D, the key to BiOmega’s effectiveness is the amount of long-chain EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) it contains. Both EPA and DHA have been extensively studied and found to provide different, important actions in the body. And the long-chain forms of omega-3s are more potent than other, short-chain fatty acids. This means you don’t have to consume as much to get all the great health benefits.

Frequently asked questions: -

Can I eat more REAL fish instead? For the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil to work against arthritis, it’s necessary to consume a fairly large quantity of it each day. Fish oil enclosed in capsules makes this fairly easy.

I’m taking COD Liver oil. Does it work the same? Unlike Bio-mega Plus, cod liver oil contains very high amounts of vitamin A, taking too much can be toxic. For the purpose of treating arthritis, fish oil is the safer choice.

My child finds it hard to swallow capsules. Try USANA’s BiOmega Jr. instead. This is a fish oil supplement that delivers appropriate amounts of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and vitamin D, in a delectable, sugar-free, flavored gel format that is friendly for kids or adults who have a hard time swallowing capsule.

How much EPA and DHA are in Biomega Plus? Each serving (2 capsules) of BiOmega has 1200 mg total of omega-3 fatty acids. Of which 580 mg are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 470 mg are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Can Biomega be used during pregnancy and lactation? Research has clearly shown that essential fatty acids are important for developing babies, and many women don’t get enough from diet alone. During pregnancy, omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, support brain, eye, and nerve development, especially during the last trimester.

How is biomega purified? BiOmega™ is purified using high vacuum molecular distillation. (We actually distil the product twice to ensure a maximum level of purity.) Molecular distillation removes impurities (heavy metals, dioxides, etc.), saturated fats, and other undesirable organic compounds, leaving only the key beneficial components of the fish oil. Molecular distillation is gentle with exceptionally low heat residence time and is performed in a vacuum to further reduce heat requirement. Additionally, the BiOmega is a whole-body oil (not a liver oil) made from wild caught anchovies and sardines – small fish with short lifespans which are naturally much lower in contaminants than larger fish (such as salmon, tuna, etc.)

Does biomega contains Vitamin A? No, BiOmega does not contain vitamin A. Unless added by the manufacturer, only fish oil supplements specifically made from fish liver (such as cod liver oil) will contain vitamin A.

Can I remove the liquid from Biomega capsules? A primary concern with opening BiOmega capsules is the difficulty involved in emptying the capsule completely, which may reduce the amount of active ingredients received. (Also, it can be difficult to mask the taste of extracted fish oil.) Assuming taste isn’t a concern and the capsule can be emptied completely, there shouldn’t be a problem with consuming BiOmega this way. Just be sure to use the liquid immediately, as it was not designed to be exposed to air.

What fish species are used to make biomega? BiOmega is a whole-body oil (not a liver oil) made from anchovies and sardines – small fish with short life spans which are naturally much lower in contaminants than larger fish (such as salmon, tuna, etc.). In fact, the raw material (pre-refining) oils used in BiOmega are already lower in PCBs than established guidelines for finished products. It is then purified using a process called high vacuum molecular distillation (twice) and the finished product is tested again for heavy metals and other contaminants.

Why biomega doesn’t contain omega- 6and 9? Fish oil typically contains minimal amounts of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. If a company were to add dietary significant amounts of these nutrients to a fish oil supplement, the size and/or number of capsules would have to be increased. In addition, omega-6 fatty acids tend to be more prevalent in the diet than omega-3’s, and while omega-9 fatty acids are beneficial and healthy they are not considered “essential” (since the human body is capable of synthesizing them).

How do I eliminate the fish after taste of fish oil supplements? Lemon oil is added to BiOmega to help reduce the potential for fishy aftertaste. If you still find the taste bothersome, try taking BiOmega with a meal.

Can I take Biomega if im allergic to Fish? For individuals with a specific allergy to fatty fish (e.g. salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, anchovies), BiOmega would not generally be recommended except on the advice of a physician. For individuals with shellfish-specific allergies (e.g. shrimp, crab, lobster), BiOmega should not be a problem as it does not contain any shellfish ingredients.

Thanks for your time reading this long post. Here's a fish for you.🐟

Did you know? 😯

Your immune system can be affected by many lifestyle factors such as your diet, stress level, sleep quality, travel frequency and your environment.

Things you can do to maintain a healthy immune function: -
• Get enough sleep every night, at least 7 hours would be ideal.
• Exercise more.
• Try your best to minimize stress
• Consume a healthy and balance diet.
• Maintain good hygiene, wash your hands frequently.

Simple right?

Is your lifestyle…sedentary?😕

This is the lifestyle where there are little to no physical activities and exercises is done throughout the day. More than ever, amid the pandemic and the now norm work from home cultures, we need to do something about it.

A quick search in google tells us that this kind of lifestyles increase all causes of mortality, twofold the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity, and increase the risks of colon cancer, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, lipid disorders, depression and anxiety. Scary, isn’t it?

Being someone who sits in front of the computer all day long, I started looking for things I can do to make my lifestyle less…inactive. Not gonna lie, what I find next really blew my mind. How can something so simple, be so impactful? This is something I’ve been doing my entire life!

Walk 10000 steps daily.

I did some calculations. Assuming that I walk 2 steps every second, it should take no more than 90 minutes to complete 10k steps. I’m definitely not going to walk for 90mins in one go, let’s just say I have more important things to do, splitting them into a few smaller walks a day seems more sustainable. Therefore, what’s ideal for me is to walk 30 mins in the morning, 30mins in the evening and walk off the remaining through the day. Park a little bit further, take the stairs more often, drink more water (so you’ll have to walk to the toilet more often 😝 ). Little things like these do add up.

In the end, what I got from this, aside from weight loss, I feel less anxiety, my mood improved and definitely boosted my self-esteem. And the best part is, I am able do this everyday without feeling sore. (Probably due to its less intense nature)

Well, if you are interested, try this for yourself and see how walking more daily changes you.

I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Happy walking!

🤔Are you walking properly?
Ideally, here's how you'll look when you're walking:
• Your head is up. You're looking forward, not at the ground.
• Your neck, shoulders and back are relaxed, not stiffly upright.
• You're swinging your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows. A little pumping with your arms is OK.
• Your stomach muscles are slightly tightened and your back is straight, not arched forward or backward.
• You're walking smoothly, rolling your foot from heel to toe.
(Sources: https://www.mayoclinic.org/)

🤔In case you are wondering, does it have to be 10000 steps?

Well, it does sound cooler to have walked ten thousand steps.

However, there are suggestions than an average of 4,400 steps a day is enough change you for the better.

For those who live a more sedentary lives, you may slowly increase your step count progressively.

-----

🤭Fun Fact:

The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in 1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.

🤔Why do I take Multi vitamin?

Simply put, personally I find it hard to get all the nutrients I need from food alone. Unlike some people, I’m very "busy" and just can’t eat a "balanced diet" every day. My daily diet simply doesn’t supply even the minimum Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) of many vitamins and minerals, what more the optimal daily allowance (ODA).

If you are those who somehow manage to eat a well-balanced nutritious meal every day without fail, kudos to you! With no doubt, you are truly amazing. You might be getting enough nutrition to prevent nutritional deficiencies, are you getting the optimal amount though?
-----------------------------

🤔The next question is, there are so many types of multivitamins in the market today, why do I choose Usana?

When it comes to choosing the "right" supplements, I think quality is a very important. USANA is one of only a few companies to make products in its own state-of-the-art facility. You can have the greatest product formulas in the world, but poor manufacturing can destroy their effectiveness.

Each supplement is rigorously tested multiple times. And each step of the manufacturing process is modelled after the uncompromising quality standards used by the pharmaceutical industry. USANA definitely sets the standard for excellence in dietary supplements.

Cellsentials come with a potency guarantee. It promises that the USANA vitamin or supplement you’ve chosen has been held to a higher quality standard. So, what you see on the label is what you’ll get in the product.

Dear friends and family,

Happy Lunar New Year and Happy Holidays.

Please stay safe and wishing everyone the best of health in the year of the tiger🐅

Omg! Usana products work like Magic! You don't need real food. You don't need to eat well at all. So amazing!
.. Not really.

Infact, in USANA our scientists had clearly said, “that a healthy diet is a necessary foundation for any program of optimal nutrition, and there is no substitute for eating well.”

Supplementation is not a “cure all.”

However, more often than not we indulge in a family dinner, we miss a workout, and we may not even get the minimum recommendation of every essential vitamin in our daily diets, much less the optimal amounts.

To this, our scientists say, “USANA’s nutritional supplements are designed to complement a healthy diet, not replace it. USANA supplements are designed to provide advanced levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are difficult to obtain from diet alone—levels that individuals can use every day to promote a lifetime of good health.”

Did you know?

USANA tablets are formulated to meet United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) standards, which require full disintegration within 30-45 min. They are also formulated to meet standards for dissolution. Because USANA tablets are formulated to these standards, the vitamins and minerals found in USANA supplements are properly absorbed into the body. Innovative formulations have been developed to optimize nutrient bioavailability.

Each lot of USANA tablets is tested against finished product specifications to ensure that it meets standards for identity, target weight, hardness, thickness, disintegration, potency, purity, and microbial counts. USANA provides its vitamins and minerals in amounts and forms so that, in conjunction with a healthy diet, customers will receive maximum bioavailability, full effectiveness, and uncompromised safety.
