Four big things:

1. Backed by the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board.
2. Balanced formulas for our complex bodies.
3. Made with high-quality ingredients.
4. Physiological amounts of ingredients in bioavailable forms.

1. Backed by the Scientific and Medical Advisory Board.
The members of the prestigious AdvoCare Scientific & Medical advisory Board invest more than 270 years of combined nutrition and skincare science into the products that AdvoCare offers. The experience, expertise and reputation of the board assure that the products not only work great, but that they’re also safe. Each member represents many areas of expertise such as nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, phamacology, toxicology, sports performance, skincare, surgery and more and are committed to offering cutting-edge science for the formulation of each and every product.

2. Balanced formulas for our complex bodies.
Where many supplements on the market promote individual ingredients, AdvoCare offers a comprehensive solution with each product by including balanced amounts of the right nutrients for optimal nutrition, proper absorption, and the greatest benefit.

3. Made with high-quality ingredients.
Vitamins and minerals are USP grade, and herbal extracts are standardized so that active amounts are included in each product. AdvoCare maintains high standards of manufacturing quality from beginning to end, batch to batch. Finished products are then tested to ensure that they contain the amounts stated on the label. With AdvoCare products, you’ll receive superior nutrition from the highest-quality products.

4. Physiological amounts of ingredients in bioavailable forms.
Physiological mounts of ingredients in bioavailable forms are included in all AdvoCare products, meaning your body is receiving significant nutrients that it can easily absorb and put to use. With AdvoCare products, you’ll receive amounts that work, not simply amounts sufficient to put on the label.

AdvoCare products are unique because of the science behind every product, the high-quality ingredients and standards of manufacturing. Can you trust your health and well-being to anything less?

Fitness Guidelines Are a Minimum

The Health and Human Services Department has released a new set of guidelines for exercise. While noting that moderate exercise for adults is beneficial, children and teens do in fact need more, suggesting at least an hour a day. The HHS goes to great lengths to make it clear that there are lots of ways to achieve it fitness for all ages.

Basic suggestion, start slowly. Those not currently exercising will see benefits with as little as 10 minutes of moderately intense exercise a day, with increases in exercise length over time.
Due to the increase in overweight and obese children in recent years, the HHS created an expert panel to review data. Findings showed that regular physical activity can cut the risk of heart attacks and stroke by at least 20 percent, reduce chances of early death, and help people avoid high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, colon and breast cancer, fractures from age-weakening bones and depression.

These findings led to the creation of the minimum exercise guidelines. The guidelines advise:

• You don’t have get all the activity at once. A walk for an hour three days a week works as well as, say, a 30-minute exercise class on weekdays or saving most of the activity for a two-hour Saturday bike ride.
• For aerobic activities, go at least 10 minutes at a time to build heart rate enough to count.
• You should be able to talk while doing moderate activities but not catch enough breath to sing. With vigorous activities, you can say only a few words without stopping to catch a breath.
• Children’s daily hour should consist of mostly moderate or vigorous aerobic activity, such as skateboarding, bike riding, soccer, simple running.
• Three times a week, children and teens need to include muscle-strengthening activities – sit-ups, tug-of-war – and bone-strengthening activities, such as jumping rope or skipping.
• Adults should do muscle-strengthening activities – push-ups, weight training, carrying heavy loads or heavy gardening – at least two days a week.
• Older adults who are still physically able to follow the guidelines should do so, with an emphasis on activities that maintain or improve balance.

These are minimum goals, the guidelines note. People who do more will see greater benefits.
