The year is now

You’re doing lots of fantastic things to protect yourself and your loved ones during these challenging time …. And we all need to do this!  However, there is one very important step to take to protect the greatest possession you have, which is yourself. That step is to do the Red Drink Challenge for 90 Days.   We need as much support to strengthen our body as we can – and this is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

WHAT’S THE RED DRINK CHALLENGE?  

Also sometimes called the “Love your Gut challenge”, this is a simple recipe that re-hydrates your body and tissues in order to reduce swelling and inflammation in muscles and joints, at the same time as feeding you powerful nutrients to support your health. And if you suffer from any osteoarthritis, this will also help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Twice a day you’ll be making up the following mixture: 

Add these 3 ingredients to an empty NingXia Red bottle (or a 750ml glass bottle), and top up with filtered or spring water. Drink this in the morning, then make some more to drink in the afternoon.

For this challenge you will need a 2 pack of NingXia Red juice (plus a bit extra if you can), a bottle of Sulfurzyme and a bottle of Young Living Lime oil each month.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION

According to Harvard News, drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.

But the Red Drink Challenge goes much further than simple re-hydration. It also delivers some powerful nutrients to your body which work in synergy to assist your body on every level – physical, mental and emotional. Here’s what its 3 key ingredients will do for your body:

1. NINGXIA RED SUPERJUICE  

This is a fabulous energy drink for the whole family, whether you’re just needing a way to kick-start your day, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a boost of vitality when you are doing a workout.  

It contains 16% organic goji berry puree….that means not just a concentrate, but all the goodness from the skin, seeds, and pulp.

This is combined with other high antioxidant fruit juices – Blueberry, Plum, Aronia, Cherry, and Pomegranate – and it’s sweetened with Stevia.

Even better, it is flavoured with 4 different citrus essential oils, Orange, Yuzu. Lemon and Tangerine, all very high in d-Limonene….and it tastes delicious!

60ml of NingXia Red is like having a whole fridge and freezer full of fruit and vegies in a single drink….it’s pure energy for our body!

In fact, 60ml of NingXia Red is equivalent in biological activity to consuming 118 heads of broccoli, 200 oranges, or 45,628 almonds!

The Ningxia Wolfberry puree is obtained from organic goji berries (wolfberries) from the Ningxia Province of China. Located near the Mongolian border, this region is fed by beautiful, pure, mineral-rich glacial water, which many attribute as the “secret ingredient” in the wolfberries.

  These wolfberries are so popular in China, there is even an annual festival to celebrate them! And no wonder – the Ningxia wolfberries have:

 ·         more protein than bee pollen (yes, they’re a high protein fruit!).

·         They also have more Vitamin C than oranges and

·         More beta carotene than carrots, and

·         They are high in Xeaxanthin (a nutrient needed by our eyes to optimize vision).

·         The ancient Chinese used wolfberries to support the health of their muscles, ligaments, bones, liver, heart, brain and eyes.

 There is a famous Chinese text written in 1593 AD. It talks about a wolfberry elixir which was given to an elderly man. After drinking it, this man “Could walk extremely fast, as if he were flying, and his grey hair turned black again.”

 Why? Because mineral loss in the body can cause premature greying of the hair. Support the body to have healthy levels of minerals, and it becomes supple and youthful.

 And don’t think that NingXia Red is just for your human family (young and old). It’s also very popular amongst the furry and feathered family. 

Gary Young, the founder of Young Living, was also a powerful advocate for NingXia Red. He challenged himself every day, and NingXia Red was his “go-to” for energy. Over two consecutive weekends in January and February 2017, he competed in two immensely challenging dogsled races in Alaska, with a total of 500 race miles. Click here to read the full article.

2. WHY YOUR BODY NEEDS SULFURZYME EVERY DAY

Sulfur is needed by our body so that we can have healthy skin, hair and nails, and the best natural source of sulfur is in MSM. But it’s not just good for skin, hair and nails – it’s also amazing for helping to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

In fact, It’s the subject of a book by Dr. Ronald Lawrence called The miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain.

Sulfurzyme is a Young Living supplement which combines ground Ningxia Wolfberry with a high quality, natural tree source of MSM.

The wolfberry gives the body the vitamins and minerals needed to properly absorb the MSM in the supplement. This is the problem with most over-the-counter MSM products – they don’t give you all the necessary co-factors so that your body can best absorb the MSM, and you often don’t know where their MSM is sourced from.  

The Australian version of Sulfurzyme also contains the very powerful and emotionally balancing Copaiba oil. This powerful oil is popular amongst the Amazonian shamans and practitioners. It’s also a natural “amplifier”, so it amplifies the action of whatever essential oils or herbs it’s combined with.  

In fact, Copaiba oil is quite amazing in its own right. It’s sustainably tapped every few years from the Copal tree. The tap is put in, and the essential oil pours out! Wow!!!  

Every country is different in terms of the claims that we can make about Sulfurzyme and MSM. Here are the claims we can make per region: 

US/EU Statements:

In Europe and the US, we can state that MSM supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function, and it works to scavenge free radicals. 

Australia: In Australia, we can say that Sulfur is amazing for helping to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.  

In fact, It’s the subject of a book by Dr. Ronald Lawrence called The miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain. And we’ve even had great results using it on aging animals – especially dogs and horses. Give 1 to 3 capsules a day to dogs. With horses, start with 1 cap in their feed, then increase by one cap per day up to 10 to 15 caps a day, then slowly ramp back down again.

3. LIME OIL – SOOOOO UPLIFTING!

Any type of Citrus essential oil is wonderful for relaxing us as well as uplifting our moods, thus carrying us into a “feel good” space. This applies whether we have it in our diffuser, or whether we are munching on or drinking foods flavoured with citrus oil.  

Yes, we’d still get some benefit from eating food made with the whole fruit…but remember that the essential oil is soooo concentrated and potent!  

Citrus oils come from the skin of the fruit.  

Did you know it takes the rind of 75 lemons to make 15ml of Lemon oil! With Limes, you can imagine it would take more, because of their smaller size.  

If you do the calculations, every drop of Lemon oil requires the rind of 1/4 of a lemon to make it! That’s incredible!

Lime oil is not just an amazing oil to use to flavour food and beverages. It’s also very powerful in many other ways.

Make sure you do some research online, and in a good reference book, and you’ll understand why Lime oil is something you really want to be taking in today’s crazy modern world! 

And it has so many other wonderful benefits. Your bottle of Lime oil will never go to waste.
