Balanced nutrition is founded on consuming a healthy mix of protein, carbohydrates, beneficial fats and other nutrients, many of which can be found in science-based Herbalife products. A healthy active life includes regular exercise, rest, hydration, and a personalized program with one-on-one and community support. This philosophy is helping to change the nutrition habits of the world, one person at a time.
Balanced nutrition is made up of 5 critical components, and it is important to get a good balance of these:
Macro-nutrients
Nutrients that provide calories or energy for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. There are three types of macro-nutrients protein, carbohydrate and fat.
Micro-nutrients
Commonly referred to as vitamins and minerals, micro-nutrients are essential for good health. A deficiency of micro-nutrients can lead to various health complications.
Phytonutrients
Phytonutrients are micro-nutrients produced by plants. They act as anti-oxidants and can be found in fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, whole grains, herbs and teas.
Fiber
Dietary fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, includes all parts of plant foods that your body cannot digest or absorb, and helps to maintain a healthy digestive system.
Water
Water makes up 60 70% of your body weight and is essential for eliminating waste from the body and carrying nutrients to cells. Dehydration, which is an excessive loss of water from the body, can lead to severe consequences like fatigue, migraines, muscle cramps and constipation.
At Herbalife, we recommend your daily caloric intake should be personalized, depending on body composition, gender, and lifestyle.
