What’s in Your Weight-Loss Tool Kit?
January’s Sunshine Horizons featured lots of great, new science on our amazing MetaboMax® Plus and MetaboMax Free products. It also provided useful tips for weight-management success and in part addressed the emotional component of lasting weight loss. This month, we are pleased to provide you with a weight-loss tool kit. We’ve filled these pages with product handouts, posters and other business ideas to help you expand your ever-growing reach and share your knowledge and genuine care. Don’t file this magazine in your NSP library. Use it! Cut it apart, copy the pages, hand them out to customers and successline members. Hang up the posters. It’s time to let people know that NSP has terrific, natural weight-loss products and that you are there to help them in their efforts.
Help Stem the Tide of Obesity in America Obesity has been linked to many life-threatening diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and certain types of cancer. It can also seriously impact quality of life and one’s ability to participate in day-to-day activities. The past 20 years has seen a dramatic increase in obesity in this country. In 2008, only one state (Colorado) had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Thirty-two states had a prevalence equal to or greater than 25%; six states (Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia) had a prevalence of obesity equal to or greater than 30%.Source: http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html#State Obesity affects children and adolescents too. “Data from NHANES surveys (1976–1980 and 2003–2006) show that the prevalence of obesity has increased: for children aged 2–5 years, prevalence increased from 5% to 12.4%; for those aged 6–11 years, prevalence increased from 6.5% to 17%; and for those aged 12–19 years, prevalence increased from 5% to 17.6%.”Source: http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/childhood/index.html Truly we live more sedentary lives and consume more than the previous generation. Something has to change. Take heart. You can be the key to helping someone find his or her way back to health, including a healthier weight. People need the encouragement and information you have to offer. Share your sunshine today!
Avoid the Physical and Economic Costs of Obesity “According to a study of national costs attributed to both overweight (BMI 25–29.9) and obesity (BMI greater than 30), medical expenses accounted for 9.1 percent of total U.S. medical expenditures in 1998 and may have reached as high as $78.5 billion ($92.6 billion in 2002 dollars). Approximately half of these costs were paid by Medicaid and Medicare.”Source: http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/causes/economics.html Americans spend billions of dollars on gyms, weight-loss center memberships, liposuction, weight-loss surgeries, etc. in search of smaller bodies. Guess what? There’s still no magic bullet. For most people, achieving and maintaining a lasting and healthy weight requires strict attention to diet and adequate exercise. But certain supplements can give consumers an edge toward success and can help make needed lifestyle changes easier. Nature’s Sunshine offers such quality supplements. Making weight loss a greater focus of your NSP business will help you guide more people to improved health and energy.
Obesity is defined as
a body mass index
(BMI) of 30 or greater.
BMI is calculated from
a person’s weight and
height and provides a
reasonable indicator
of body fatness and
weight categories that
may lead to health
concerns.

Making Weight Loss a Part of Your BusinessBusiness Tips from Rallie McAllister, M.D., MPH, MSEH
An estimated two-thirds of American adults are overweight
or obese. With those statistics, it only takes a quick look around to see opportunities to help those who are looking for support and direction with weight management. Rallie McAllister, M.D., MPH, MSEH, and author of Breakthrough: The Nutrition Prescription for Maximum Weight Loss Success, shares a few business tips that you can integrate into your business.
Breakthrough: The Nutrition Prescription for Maximum Weight Loss Success by Rallie McAllister walks you step-by-step through basic nutrition needs and ways to optimize your health while meeting your weight-loss goals. To order Breakthrough, visit www.naturestools.com.
Create Support Groups Numerous studies have shown that people who belong to support groups are able to lose more weight and keep it off for longer than those who go it alone. Help your clients create support groups where they can support each other, share experiences, offer ideas, even exercise together. You can be a part of that support group by organizing meetings, emailing tips and ideas, and sharing weight-loss product information.
Nature’s Sunshine has organized Sunshine Friends, a weight-loss society made up of individual support groups competing in a weight-loss contest. To learn more, see page 10.
Focus on Obesity in the Workplace Obesity and its accompanying health effects have become the #1 cost to companies in the U.S. in the form of sick time and health costs. Many companies are ready to take new steps to increase the health of their workers and lower health care costs, creating a perfect setting for you to offer your services. Approach local companies and offer to hold seminars on health and weight management.
Become a Weight-Loss Coach So many people want to lose weight and don’t know how. They want someone to take the reins and create a weight-loss plan. Become their “coach.” Give them the information and support they need, just as you would a client facing any other health issue.
