This is the first article of a two-part series on how to incorporate Young Living essential oils and essential oil-infused products into an exercise routine. This post will focus on the pre-workout.

At least 30 minutes before each workout, it is important to increase the amount of water you consume. Supplement this with your choice of NingXia Red® for added nutrition, NingXia Nitro™ and Slique™ Tea to increase alertness, and a clear capsule with 4-6 drops of Lemongrass essential oil to get ready for your workout. These products work together to help improve energy and endurance and increase thermogenics in the body.

Immediately following this preparation, it is important to warm up the body to prepare your muscles for the workout. If your muscles are sore, gently rub a few drops of Peppermint essential oil onto the affected area to help soothe the minor discomfort. As with any workout regimen, a healthy diet and proper technique will help you achieve your fitness goals.

Recommended Pre-Workout Products:

NingXia Red: NingXia Red’s cascading energy and nutrient-rich formula is a perfect way to prepare for any workout.

NingXia Nitro: NingXia Nitro is an all-natural way to enhance physical performance. Not only does it deliver a unique combination of B vitamins, essential oils, and green tea extract, but it also contains Bioenergy Riobose®, a premium ingredient clinically proven to increase energy, accelerate recovery, and reduce fatigue and muscle pain.

Slique Tea: By providing a rare blend of jade oolong leaves, ocotea, and frankincense powder, Slique Tea is a delicious beverage that provides a natural energy boost.

Slique Essence Essential Oil Blend: Young Living’s Slique Essence essential oil blend contains a unique combination of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, spearmint, and ocotea essential oils that uplifts and energizes.

Lemongrass Essential Oil: Lemongrass essential oil contains high levels of citral, a compound that may support thermogenic activity in the body when consumed.

Peppermint Essential Oil: When ingested, Peppermint essential oil supports digestion and may improve concentration and mental acuity.  When used topically, it soothes sore muscles.

In the next article of our two-part series on essential oils and exercise, we will focus on Young Living products that can assist you during your workout and post workout.

It’s back to school time, and that means your family is going to be exposed to germs, viruses, and pathogens. To protect your family, teaching good hygiene habits is always a wise approach.

Here are some tips to protect yourself and the ones you love with Young Living products:

• Wash your hands frequently with Thieves® Foaming Hand Soap.
• Use Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier frequently.

Sanitize surfaces and places that are known to harbor germs. Desks, computers, lockers, or any other place where multiple hands touch are great ways to spread germs.

Here are a few sanitizing tips using Young Living products:

• Use Thieves Wipes or Thieves Spray on desks, chairs, lunch tables, computer mouse and keyboards, bathroom areas.
• Use 1–2 drops of lemon essential oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots, glue or adhesive, and crayon from most surfaces.

In addition to sanitizing areas, make sure to get adequate sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly.

Build a strong immune system using Young Living products such as:

• Thieves Essential Oil Blend: Apply to the bottoms of feet before going to school.
• Super C™ Chewable: Take at least once daily.
• Thieves Hard Lozenges or Thieves Soft Lozenges: Have your child take these to school.
• NingXia Red®: Drink every day.
• Life 5™: Take one capsule every day before going to bed.
• OmegaGize³: Take one capsule daily; vitamin D helps prevent flu.
• ImmuPro™ or ImmuPower™: Use when an added boost is necessary.

As the back-to-school season begins, it is important to keep these tips for good hygiene, sanitation, and building a strong immune system in mind. We would love to hear your tips for back-to-school health using Young Living products. Feel free to leave a comment.

More and more Young Living distributors are discovering how social media can help build and strengthen their businesses and how easy establishing an informative, relevant, and supportive online presence can be with our new Facebook service! This service, launched at the 2013 International Grand Convention, offers:

• Engaging, Young Living-related content posted automatically to your Facebook business page three times per week
• Three content-rich tabs, each of which provides a link that enables your Facebook fans to sign up as a distributor or customer in your organization
• A choice of many professionally created, Young Living-branded cover photos

The service can add these exciting features to an existing Facebook page or implement them on a new Facebook page for only $59.95 annually. To sign up, visit youngliving.com/facebookservice. There, you will find a brief video that will explain the service in detail.

Here is an example of what your Facebook page will look like with the new service:

What our Members are Saying
Over 1,000 people have signed up for the service so far, and it has received rave reviews. Here are a few comments we have received by e-mail and on Facebook:

“The service has been phenomenal!  It has grown my fan base and has created more free time for me to focus on team coaching rather than finding, reading, and posting content!” – Melissa Poepping, Young Living Gold

“I love it! You have taken a load off of me! Thanks!  Now I have time to tweet! LOL thanks for showing me that, too!” – Helen Shaw, Young Living Distributor

“[It is the] easiest way to boost your business efficiency! And the price is right, too! Thank you, Young Living!” – Devin Cote Bourland, Young Living Star

“I LOVE IT! I have been sharing my page and posting everywhere for others to see and sign up! Got a few into it already!” – Kateeri O’Brien, Young Living Distributor

Facebook Service Tips
If you have already signed up for the Facebook Service, here are a few tips to attract more fans and engagement on your page:

• For your profile picture, use a photo of yourself or your business logo. This will make your page more professional-looking to current and prospective fans.
• Make the name of your page unique, so it will stand out. Be sure to use the name of your business or a name that will identify you as a Young Living distributor. For example, you could use something like, “John Smith, Young Living Distributor.” Please do not name your page simply “Young Living” or “Young Living Essential Oils.”  This can make it harder for people to find your page, and they could get it confused with Young Living’s corporate Facebook page.
• You will have complete administrative rights over your Facebook page after completing the Facebook Service sign-up process. If you see a post from the Facebook Service that does not go along with your social media strategy, feel free to delete the post.  Feel free to also write your own posts to notify your fans of events, announcements, and more.
• A good rule of thumb is to never post more than 1-2 posts per day on your Facebook page. Any more posts than this may annoy your fans.
• If you have a personal Facebook profile, invite your friends to “like” your Facebook business page. Send out a post on your personal profile containing the link to your new page.
• Try using Facebook Ads or Promoted Posts to attract more Facebook fans. You can also set your own budget for how much you want to spend on these ads. For more information, click here.

I love ice cream—especially homemade ice cream. Knowing my love for this generally unhealthy treat, I decided to experiment with a healthier option using Young Living products.

Try this delicious recipe for NingXia Red Sherbet:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond milk
• 1 ¾ cups NingXia Red®
• ¾ cup Young Living Yacon Syrup (may also substitute with Blue Agave or 15 drops Stevia Extract)
• 4 drops Tangerine essential oil (may substitute with other citrus essential oils)
• 6 Life 5™ capsules (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• ½ cup chopped Ningxia wolfberries (optional)

Directions:

Mix together almond milk, NingXia Red, Yacon Syrup, Tangerine essential oil, and vanilla extract. If desired, open Life 5 capsules and add to the mix. Add ingredients to an ice cream or yogurt maker. Add the fruit halfway through the freezing process or when serving (this keeps the fruit from freezing solid). I also like to soak the wolfberries in NingXia Red to make them juicier.

Please leave a comment with your thoughts or with any suggested modifications.
