Diet in general, and protein in particular, can influence your mood. Tryptophan, one of the amino acids that forms with others to make a protein, is the precursor for the neurotransmitter serotonin, increased levels of which may help you cope with stress. #cinchspiration #stress #protein http://www.cinchspiration.com

1. Getting a Grip on Stress
Supplements offer a key
component in the effort to
gain control for the
growing number of
Americans who say they
are stressed out.
According to the American Psychological Association, World
Health Organization and the American Institute for Stress, the
major sources of stress for most people revolve around finances
– today‟s uncertain economy, personal debt, unemployment etc.
This stress is so prevalent today that between 65 and 90 percent
of North Americans have “enough” stress to result in a stress-
related disease.

BREAKFAST
Fabricated Food
•The machine used for making shaped cereals,
called an „extruder‟ The mixture is then heated.
•This extrusion process, besides creating a
sweet, crunchy cereal, destroys much of the
nutrient content of the ingredients.
•Even the chemical vitamins, added before the
extrusion process, are damaged by it. The amino
acid lysine, a crucial nutrient, is especially
ravaged by extrusion.

9. The Discovery That Has Changed the
Face of Nutrition Forever
 Human longevity depends upon the ability of the body to recover and
rebuild
 Shaklee created a protein product that triggers the recovery and rebuilding
process
 It’s not the protein that’s important – it’s the amino acid
content of the protein
 For Thirty years Shaklee worked on extracting these powerful 9 essential
amino acids and delivering them with their unique bioavailable delivery
system
Histidine Threonine
Lysine Valine
Leucine Tryptophan
Methionine
Isoleucine Phenylalanine

12. Bio-Hormone Release
THE WHOLE STORY
The muscle cell is broken down and is tired. It needs
glucose and amino acids to recover and build.
Insulin is the main muscle building hormone in the body.
It opens the ”cells door” to let in all of the nutrients the cell
needs
Every door needs a door knob (insulin receptor). The knob
is chromium.
There Are Three Phases Once the door is opened, a quality mix of glucose,
to Building Muscle branched chain amino acids, and the rest of the essential
amino acids must be available for maximum muscle
building, bulk, and recovery.
Catabolic: Muscle tissue is broken
down every day
Recovery: Glucose and amino acids The clinical research now proves

Anabolic: Using glucose and amino
