Taislim Opportunity With GoChi Juice

Posted by cats36 on February 3, 2009

The following letter was sent to all Freelife Marketing Executives

If you are looking for an opportunity or not, I ask you read this letter!

 

“This Is What They Are Telling Us!

 

Dear Friends,

 

The excitement created by the launch of TAIslim, our triple patent pending, revolutionary, new weight loss product, in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico is nothing short of breathtaking! While we anticipated TAIslim having a major impact on our business, not one of us at the Home Office ever anticipated the impact being so dramatic, so quickly.

 

Not only are we seeing record increases in sales, and new Marketing Executives and Customers join FreeLife, but we are seeing an unprecedented number of new leaders from other companies who are locking arms with us, as they have never seen a company better poised for rapid growth than FreeLife is right now. I thought you might find it useful to read some of the top reasons that seasoned Direct Selling leaders are joining FreeLife right now at a record pace. This is what they are telling us:

 

1. Fast Growth Ahead: Universally, these leaders see FreeLife as a company that is poised for dramatic and rapid growth over the next 24 to 48 months.

 

They understand that the weight loss industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world. They know that in the U.S. alone it is a $60 billion industry. They know that eight out of ten adults in the U.S. over the age of 25 are overweight. They know that a weight loss product that really works will create excitement unlike any other type of product in our industry.

 

They also know that given the state of economy around the world, more and more people, than perhaps at anytime in the last 70 years, are desperately looking for ways to start their own business and earn additional income. Getting involved in one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world, at a very low cost, is going to make a great deal of sense to millions of people who are being affected by the weakened world economy. There has never been a better time for FreeLife than right now.

 

2. Product Integrity: Seasoned Direct Selling leaders understand that the key to significant, long-term success in our industry is product integrity. That is a product that is backed by real science, delivers as promised, and can’t be copied.

 

First, based on the research conducted on TAIslim by our Independent Scientific Advisory Board from leading universities around the world, and our in-house Research and Development Team, we know that the product works. The science is based on our triple patent pending technology on the goji berry’s miraculous weight management properties and our proprietary TAIslim formula. This, in combination with cutting-edge scientific research on several other proprietary ingredients that help to dramatically increase the amount of calories you burn, suppress your appetite and cravings, and help cleanse and replenish your insides, creates the most effective weight loss product we have ever seen. And, we are already getting many dramatic weight loss testimonials from men and woman everywhere. Visit TAIslim.com to read some of the latest and greatest stories we have already received.

 

Leaders also know from our three clinical studies on GoChi Juice, which were each peer reviewed by independent scientists and published in leading third-party journals, that we take our science very seriously here at FreeLife. We have set the standard for scientifically based products that truly give results as promised.

 

Finally, our triple patent pending technology means that no one will ever be able to copy TAIslim. It is completely exclusive to FreeLife. Leaders know that exclusivity makes for an even more dramatic product story, business opportunity, and long-term financial success.

 

3. A Company by Distributors, for Distributors: One of the primary complaints I hear from the leaders that are joining us regarding their other company is that people who lead those companies “don’t understand the field.” They “make decisions in a vacuum” and “don’t understand what it’s like to be in the trenches building in the real world.”

 

My comment to them is always the same, “How could they understand your wants and needs when they’ve never been distributors before! Most of them come from corporate America, and that’s why you get corporate America type of thinking.” If you look at the handful of companies that have reached billion dollar status in our industry, you will see one common thread among them. While they all sell a different variety of products, they were all founded by men and woman who actually had experience building in the field as distributors! Not a single Direct Selling company has ever made it to a billion in sales without the men and woman who lead that company first being a distributor—not a single one! Having been a distributor helps the CEO and President understand the wants and needs of the distributors. Without that experience they would never be able to practice the Golden Rule, because they don’t understand how distributors want and deserve to be treated.

 

Kevin and I were distributors before starting FreeLife, and we know what it’s like in the trenches. We know the ups and downs of the business, first hand. We know what distributors want and need. And, every decision we make is with our Marketing Executives in mind. We always ask ourselves how we would want to be treated if we were a Marketing Executive in FreeLife. From our past experience, we are able to live the Golden Rule with our Marketing Executives, and truly make the best, long-term decisions for the good of our field. You will not find a more distributor-friendly company anywhere in the world than FreeLife.

 

4. Abundance Philosophy: It’s great to have scientifically based products, and patent pending protection in a $60 billion market. But, if the company does not have an abundance philosophy, they will eventually fail. The Direct Selling leaders who are joining FreeLife look at our Compensation Plan and almost can’t believe what they see. Simply put, it is the most lucrative Compensation Plan in Direct Selling. Fast, significant money for the new Marketing Executive, outrageous midterm income, and virtually unlimited long-term income, make FreeLife’s Plan the most perfect plan in Direct Selling.

 

No large inventories are required. Our Plan is based on an easy 100-point qualifier that everyone can participate in, and that creates tremendous retention. It also means no one gets hurt. Each year we have made our Plan more and more lucrative than before, adding additional bonuses and income potential. Kevin and I designed our Plan as if we were FreeLife Marketing Executives. This is exactly how we would want to be rewarded. We want to reward our Leaders better than any company in Direct Selling. We have proven that already, and the Leaders who are joining right now see that very, very clearly—and they love it!

 

They also see our commitment to giving back with our charitable giving program, GojiKids. Each month we give to children’s charities around the world based on your efforts. To date, we have given over one-million dollars to hundreds of charities in every corner of the globe. And, we will continue giving on your behalf to more children in need everywhere we go.

 

5. FreeLife Delivers: Most of the leaders we’ve spoken to have watched FreeLife over the last five years since the launch of Himalayan Goji Juice in 2003. They saw what happened over that period of time. Ten-times growth and some of the fastest and largest checks our industry has ever seen. They remember FreeLife predicting this growth and then delivering on that prediction. They see us making the prediction now that the next five years will be even bigger than the last five. Lightning does strike twice. And, in this case, it’s going to be at least three times brighter and louder!

 

“As we begin 2009 with the launch of TAIslim, and the record numbers of new leaders who are joining us every day, let me welcome you to the FreeLife Family, and invite you to continue this journey with us.”

 

While the functional foods category that Himalayan Goji Juice and GoChi are in is a $20 billion market, the weight-loss industry in the U.S. alone is three times bigger, at $60 billion! So we have at least three times more upside with TAIslim! More importantly, we will be helping countless people with their weight loss struggles, as being overweight is the number one health challenge in all developed nations around the world.

 

The leaders who are joining us know that FreeLife doesn’t make predictions lightly, and that any rational observer would come to the same conclusion: Take a built-to-last company run by two Co-Founders with an abundance-based philosophy, combine that with a brand new, scientifically based, triple patent pending product in liquid form, in a $60 billion fast-growing industry, add the most lucrative Compensation Plan in the industry, and you have at least five years of dramatic growth ahead…on the way to creating a billion dollar Company.

 

6. Built to Last: Leaders tell us they are tired of building organizations for companies that don’t deliver on their promises, and that are going out of business at alarming rates. They love the fact that FreeLife is 14 years old, is financially rock solid, and has never been late on a check. They want to build a business they can count on for many, many years. They see FreeLife as the last company they will ever have to build.

 

They know the Co-Founders are young, yet experienced, focused, honest, energetic, and have turned down offers of millions upon millions of dollars to sell the Company because they love what they do, and have a mission-driven goal to create a Company that will have a greater impact on worldwide health than any other. The new leaders joining us right now want to be part of that future and be a part of the next billion dollar company in our industry.

 

7. Timing: Every good business person knows the importance of timing. Buying stock in a company before it skyrockets is a great example. The Direct Selling Association just announced that for the first time in years, the industry as a whole is down. Many companies are struggling and don’t have an answer.

 

But FreeLife identified this trend in early 2008 and prepared for it. Instead of viewing this economic downturn as a lemon for FreeLife, we want to turn it into lemonade. In fact, we are creating a lucrative lemonade stand for every single Marketing Executive! We realized that this was going to be an unprecedented opportunity for our Marketing Executives and for any Leader who sees the vision and desires to build the most rewarding, long-term business they could ever imagine. So we invested significant time, energy, and money in developing the TAIslim weight loss program and launched it this January 2009.

 

The results speak for themselves. The leaders who are joining us today are telling us they have never seen better timing in a company than with FreeLife right now.

 

$60 billion and growing industry

Just launched, science based, triple patent pending product

Totally exclusive product

Results-driven product that is visual and emotional

Weak economy; so more people than in any time over the last 70 years are looking for income opportunity

Most lucrative Compensation Plan they have ever seen

Significant income for every level of participation

Easy 100 point qualification

Abundance philosophy of “share the wealth” with the field

Co-Founders who were distributors and care about your success

Seasoned management team

14 year track record of success

International Company conducting business in over 20 countries

Built-to-last business you can count on for many years

The last company you will ever have to build

There, in a nutshell, is what we are hearing from leaders everywhere. And as we begin 2009 with the launch of TAIslim, and the record numbers of new leaders who are joining us every day, let me welcome you to the FreeLife Family, and invite you to continue this journey with us.

 

Let’s transform the health and wealth of millions of people around the world.

 

Let’s be the Company that helps more people in this economic crisis than any other company in the world.

 

Let’s be the Company that gives people hope for the future and helps put food on the table.

 

Let’s bring our message to teachers, contractors, soccer moms, mechanics, farmers, truck drivers, and anyone who is struggling financially or who is looking to get ahead.

 

Let’s be the Company that helps more people achieve optimal health than any company in history; where people can live life to the fullest.

 

Let’s be the Company that turns the worldwide obesity epidemic upside down, and helps millions of people lose weight and feel great.

 

And most of all, let’s be the Company that makes serving others our rallying cry!

 

“To serve each other” are the first four words of our mission statement. Let’s go out there and serve others, and live the Golden Rule more than ever before, by letting people know that there is hope.

 

Hope for financial security.

 

Hope for renewed health.

 

Hope for a better future.

 

Thank you so much, and God Bless each and every one of you.”

Tips To A Healthy Life

Posted by cats36 on September 18, 2008

To all Freelife Marketing Executives in an email from the science team: 

 

If you’re like most people, you’re probably looking for ways to look and feel your best. The following tips from the U.S. Government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will not only help you to look better and feel better, but they can also help you to reduce your risk of developing long-term serious health problems.

 

Eat healthy. What you eat and drink and what you don’t eat and drink can definitely make a difference to your health. Eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day and less saturated fat can help improve your health and may reduce many health risks. Have a balanced diet, and watch how much you eat.

Keep a healthy weight. Obesity is at an all-time high in the United States and Canada, and the epidemic may be getting worse. Those who are overweight or obese have increased risks for diseases and conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Eat better, get regular exercise, and see your healthcare provider about any health concerns to make sure you are on the right track to staying healthy.


Get moving. More than 50 percent of American men and women do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. For adults, 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week is recommended. It doesn’t take a lot of time or money, but it does take commitment. Start slowly, work up to a satisfactory level, and don’t overdo it. You can develop one routine, or you can do something different every day.
Find fun ways to stay in shape and feel good, such as dancing, gardening, cutting the grass, swimming, walking, or jogging.


Be smoke-free. Health concerns associated with smoking include cancer and lung disease. Smoking triples the risk of dying from heart disease among those who are middle-aged. Second-hand smoke – smoke that you inhale when others smoke – also affects your health. If you smoke, quit today! Help lines, counseling, medications, and other forms of support are available to help you quit.


Get routine exams and screenings. Sometimes they’re once a year. Other times they’re more or less often. Based on your age, health history, lifestyle, and other important issues, you and your healthcare provider can determine how often you need to be examined and screened for certain diseases and conditions. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases, and cancers of the skin, prostate, and colon.

When problems are found early, your chances for treatment and cure are better. Routine exams and screenings can help save lives.


Manage stress. Perhaps now more than ever before, job stress poses a threat to the health of workers and, in turn, to the health of organizations. Balancing obligations to your employer and your family can be challenging.

What’s your stress level today? Protect your mental and physical health by engaging in activities that help you manage your stress at work and at home.


Know yourself and your risks. Your parents and ancestors help determine some of who you are. Your habits, work and home environments, and lifestyle also help to define your health and your risks. You may be at an increased risk for certain diseases or conditions because of what you do, where you work, and how you play.

Being healthy means doing some homework, knowing yourself, and knowing what’s best for you … because you are one of a kind.


Be safe – protect yourself. What comes to mind when you think about safety and protecting yourself? Is it fastening seat belts, applying sunscreen, wearing helmets, or having smoke detectors? It’s all of these and more.

It’s everything from washing your hands to watching your relationships. Did you know that men at work die most frequently from motor vehicle incidents, machine-related injuries, homicides, and falls? Take steps to protect yourself and others wherever you are.

Be good to yourself. Health is not merely the absence of disease; it’s a lifestyle. Whether it’s getting enough sleep, relaxing after a stressful day, or enjoying a hobby, it’s important to take time to be good to yourself. Take steps to balance work, home, and play. Pay attention to your health, and make healthy living a part of your life.

 

To these great lifestyle tips, we’d like to add two recommendations that we believe will help you tremendously in your quest for vibrant good health:

 

Get an edge in the fight against aging with Daily Edge™. More than a mere multivitamin, Daily Edge is a major breakthrough in cellular nutrition. Formulated straight from the headlines of leading scientific journals, easy-to-swallow Daily Edge capsules bring you the 66 most-studied vitamins, minerals, co-factors, antioxidants, and food-derived health-rejuvenating nutrients, delivered in the precise potencies most recommended by the latest research studies. Daily Edge is the most powerful daily multi-nutrient formula you’ll find anywhere at any price.


Drink 4 oz. (120 ml) of GoChi® every day!”

 

——————————————————————————–

 

GoChi® – Participants in groundbreaking clinical study report experiencing significantly improved feelings of health in just 14 days! 

 

In a recent human clinical trial featured in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significant improvements in 13 diverse areas of health and well-being in as little as 14 days! In two subsequent human studies, blood tests on participants drinking GoChi showed significant improvements in the body’s antioxidant status and in 3 key areas of immunity.

 

The publication of our first groundbreaking study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Selling industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.

 

Here’s to your health!

Fight Fatigue

Posted by cats36 on September 11, 2008

An email to all Freelife Marketing Executives from the Science Team:

 

“In other Health Watch articles, we’ve talked about the many energizing benefits of restful sleep. But even if you are getting plenty of sleep and are not feeling drowsy, you may still be suffering from fatigue. There’s a difference – in general, drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep, whereas fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation, often accompanied by apathy (a feeling of indifference or not caring about what happens). Fatigue is disruptive and interferes with all aspects of daily living. In the United States, fatigue results in about 10 million doctor visits each year.

 

 

Fatigue can be a normal and important response to physical exertion, emotional stress, or boredom. However, it can also be a sign of a more serious psychological or physical disorder. Some of the more common of these are:

 

  • An allergy that leads to hay fever or asthma
  • Anemia (including iron deficiency anemia)
  • Depression or grief
  • Sleep disorders such as ongoing insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, or narcolepsy
  • Underactive thyroid or overactive thyroid
  • Autoimmune diseases such as lupus
  • Chronic liver or kidney disease
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Diabetes
  • Poor nutrition

Certain medications may also cause drowsiness or fatigue, including antihistamines for allergies, blood pressure medicines, sleeping pills, steroids, and diuretics.

If you have any of these medical problems, please see your doctor. For the rest of you, here are some great lifestyle tips that can really help you to win the fight against fatigue:

 

  • Get adequate, regular, and consistent amounts of sleep each night. It helps to go to bed at the same time each night and to get up at the same time each day, and to sleep in a cool, quiet, and comfortable room.
  • Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, and don’t skip breakfast. When you first wake up, your blood sugar is low, and eating a healthy breakfast can serve as an energy booster that will start your day off right.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day. You may be surprised to learn that nothing can tire you out faster than dehydration, so keep a bottle of water by your side whenever possible.
  • Exercise regularly. Moderate aerobic exercise, 3 or 4 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes, will help increase your energy level. The key is consistency, if you want to see consistent results.
  • Learn how to relax. When you’re under excessive stress, your breathing becomes shallower, limiting the flow of vital oxygen to the cells of your body and brain. Whenever you’re feeling worn down by stress, try taking 5 to 10 deep breaths to help regain control. Breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation are techniques you can practice any time, and they’re great tools for managing stress and fatigue.
  • Keep a reasonable and realistic schedule. Prioritize your daily to-do list and pace yourself as you work your way through your day. And make sure to schedule time for yourself. Even a half hour a day spent doing something that you enjoy will pay big dividends in reducing fatigue.
  • Change your stressful circumstances, if possible. For example, take a vacation, and deal directly with problems in a relationship or with your boss.
  • Take a multivitamin to help your body’s natural defenses against fatigue. FreeLife offers advanced multi-nutrient formulas that can give you an edge in your daily fight against fatigue.
  • Drink 4 oz. (120 ml) of GoChi®every day!”

GoChi®– Participants in groundbreaking clinical study report experiencing significantly reduced fatigue in just 14 days!

Focus and Concentration

Posted by cats36 on September 4, 2008

From The Freelife Science Team to all Marketing Executives in an email:

“How many times has this happened to you? It’s a special occasion, and you’ve somehow managed to secure reservations at the hottest restaurant in town. You’re full of happy anticipation as you drive along the freeway and then suddenly, for no apparent reason, traffic slows to a crawl. After creeping along for what seems like hours, you finally reach the source of the slowdown: a minor “fender bender” in the opposite lanes of traffic. For some reason, hundreds of your fellow drivers had become so distracted by this that they lost focus and concentration, and as a result, you’ve lost your precious dinner reservations!

 

Life certainly provides plenty of distractions, and as the above scenario illustrates, it can be very easy to lose focus. But how do you explain not being able to concentrate when you’re sitting at home or in your office with no outside distractions, and yet you still can’t seem to finish a task that you’ve started? The inability to focus or concentrate affects even the most disciplined of people (with the possible exception of the superhuman Tiger Woods). Here are some reasons why you might be having trouble staying in sharp focus:

 

  • Inadequate sleep: Many experts recommend 7 to 9 hours of restful sleep daily, and even more for growing kids. And yet, more than 60 million people in the United States experience sleep-related complaints. Many poor sleepers don’t know that they have a problem because their bodies have adjusted. Your body may be willing, but you can’t fool your brain. Brain fatigue will rob you of the focus and concentration you need to perform at your peak.  
  • Boredom or lack of interest: Your concentration may be fading simply because you just aren’t interested enough in what you’re supposed to be concentrating on. It can be pretty difficult to muster up enthusiasm for plugging endless numbers into a spreadsheet, or for attacking your daily chores. 
  • Stress and frustration: If you’re feeling overwhelmed by difficult or worrisome issues, it can be almost impossible to zone in on one task without being distracted by the weight of your other unfinished business. 
  • Medical causes: Talk to your doctor if you suspect you may be dealing with one of these issues: 
  1. Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD): This disorder involves abnormal brain chemistry, affecting your ability to focus and concentrate. Although usually encountered in children, ADHD can affect adults as well.
  2. Thyroid Problems: Although difficult to diagnose, feeling restless and anxious, being unable to concentrate, and having a poor memory could all indicate thyroid trouble.
  3. Diabetes: Your brain requires a constant flow of glucose for energy, which it receives from your blood. If your blood sugar levels are elevated or crashing, you’ll be left feeling tired and unable to focus.
  4. Depression: When you’re depressed, it can be nearly impossible to think clearly, or to find the energy and motivation to concentrate.

So what can you do to regain sharp focus and concentration? If you have a medical condition, you owe it to yourself to seek professional help. And for the rest of you, try these helpful tips!

 

  • Get more sleep. Either get to bed earlier or take a mid-afternoon power nap, and you’ll dissipate that brain fog.
  • Banish boredom. Research shows that concentration drops after 20 to 30 minutes, so take frequent breaks, making sure to get out of your chair to keep blood flowing to your brain. Bribe yourself with a reward once you finish your task. Treating yourself will feel extra good because you’ll also have the feeling of accomplishment that comes from a job well done.
  • Get organized. Make sure that you have everything you need to complete the task at hand. If you’re poorly prepared, the extra time and effort needed to get the job done will make you lose focus more easily. Don’t distract yourself by trying to work with the television or radio on, or with your computer’s instant messaging program running.
  • Write it down. If you can’t get unfinished tasks out of your head, write them down so you’re free to stop obsessing over them. Your to-do list should include an estimate of how much time it will take for each item. That will really help you to prioritize your day.
  • Fight through frustration to help manage stress. In the same way that champion athletes can get their second wind, you can fight through mental frustration to find renewed focus. From now on, if you’re in the middle of a task and tempted to give up, noted author and lecturer Sam Horn recommends that you just do five more. Read five more pages. Finish five more math problems. Work five more minutes.
  • Don’t procrastinate. As R.D. Clyde said, “It’s amazing how long it takes to complete something we’re not working on.” Delaying a task will only make it occupy more of your mind and time.
  • Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi™ every day.”

GoChi – Clinical study participants report experiencing improved focus and concentration. 

 

For countless generations, the people of Asia have used the goji berry daily in their quest for sharp mental focus and intense concentration. No goji product is more potent than FreeLife’s GoChi, and now its wide-ranging benefits have been clinically demonstrated in three clinical studies. In a recent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial, test subjects drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significant improvement in focus and mental acuity, as well as reduced feelings of stress and better sleep quality, all in as little as 14 days!

 

This groundbreaking clinical study has been published in the highly regarded Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), and it can also be viewed on the U.S. Government’s encyclopedic PubMed website at www.pubmed.gov. The acceptance of our study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Selling industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.

 

Bring your world into focus, with GoChi Goji Juice!

GoChi Featured in Canadian Magazine

Posted by cats36 on August 29, 2008

 

“A recent article on Canada’s Best Health Magazine website touted the benefits of GoChi! The article discusses a taste test in which the powerful juice was found to be most enjoyable, with a sweet, tart flavor. There is also mention of our recent GoChi study in the May 2008 Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, listing several of the health benefits participants experienced.”

 

From the Best Health Magazine, Canada:

http://www.besthealthmag.ca/blog/post/healthy-splurge-gochi-goji-berry-juice

If you’re on top of nutrition trends, you’ll already know about goji berries, an Asian import hailed as one of the great superfoods. You can find them dried—they look kind of like little red raisins—but they also come in juice format, such as this goji juice blend called GoChi. (Note that while it’s a juice blend, but goji juice does make up a majority of the ingredients.) 

I took some home to my official juice-taster (a much bigger juice drinker than me) so he could try it out, and the reviews are positive. He really likes the flavour, although he notes that it’s more enjoyable in smaller quantities than when you drink a lot—which is fine, since the recommended daily intake for health benefits is only about half a cup. I tried it too and found it tasty, with a sweet-tart flavour. 

The people at GoChi sent me a recent article from the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (May 2008) that discusses a study of the health benefits of drinking GoChi goji juice. The results they found in test subjects who drank GoChi daily include improved athletic performance, decreased fatigue, less stress and better sleep. Not bad for a little berry. 

GoChi doesn’t exactly come cheap—you can order four one-litre bottles online for about $140. But if you’re into splurging on new, interesting foods that will help your health, you may want to try it out.

Awaken Easier With GoChi

Posted by cats36 on August 28, 2008

From The Freelife Science Team to Marketing Executives in an email:

 

“Are you a morning person, or a night owl? If you’re one of those who can spring out of bed each morning feeling ready to conquer the world, then we’ll excuse you from reading this article. But please read on if you or someone you know could use a little help in shaking that morning grogginess and feeling more alert, alive, and productive.

 

The most common reason for difficulty in awakening is simply not getting enough good quality sleep. Most adults require 6 to 8 hours, and adolescents and teens can need up to 10 hours per night, although it’s not easy to convince a teenager that sleeping is more important than late-night computer gaming or text messaging with friends!

 

If you’re having difficulty awakening in the morning, there can be consequences. Feeling rushed in the morning increases your body’s production of stress hormones. Abnormal overproduction of stress hormones is thought to be the cause of many diseases, including obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

 

Hurried late risers tend to skip breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Without proper nutrition to fuel your brain and body, your productivity at work or at school will suffer. And you may be surprised to learn that morning “brain fog” is one of the leading causes of automobile accidents.

 

If you have trouble awakening, you can even injure your back. While you sleep, your spinal discs fill with fluid, and that’s why you’re actually taller when you first wake up. But your back is also unstable until you have been awake and moving enough to squeeze out the excess fluid. If you’re rushing in the morning, you run a much greater risk of hurting your back.

 

Lastly, you can hurt your relationships. Nobody likes a grouch, and if you’re unpleasant in the morning, you’ll be avoided by friends, co-workers, and loved ones.

 

There is a chance that your difficulty in awakening might have a medical cause, so you’ll want to speak with your doctor if you suffer from one of the following, which are more prevalent than you might think:

 

Sleep apnea. This is a treatable disorder in which breathing is disrupted during sleep. Symptoms of sleep apnea include snoring, waking up with a headache, and waking up during the night.

 

Depression. Some individuals, particularly children and adolescents, deal with depression by sleeping a lot more than they actually need to.

 

Periodic Limb Movements. These are movements of the arms and legs during sleep, and the effect can be like getting a tiring workout instead of a good night’s rest.

 

If your problem is not medical in origin, there are some helpful tips that can make your mornings a lot easier:

 

  • Adopt a regular sleep schedule. If you develop the habit of going to bed at the same reasonable time every night, you’ll find it much easier to awaken on schedule, too.
  • Use a dawn simulator. This is a special alarm clock that uses a gradually brightening light instead of a nerve-jangling buzzer. The increasing intensity of light simulates the rising sun, triggering the release of brain chemicals to awaken you gently and naturally.
  • Don’t eat late at night. Eating before bedtime is guaranteed to make you sleep poorly. Your body needs to be resting, not digesting.
  • Sleep under comfortable conditions. You spend one-third of your life in bed, so make sure that your sleeping environment is ideal. Trade in that creaky mattress and lumpy pillow, and make sure that your bedroom is cool, dark, and noise-free.
  • Banish the brain fog. In Asia, millions of people engage in daily morning meditation or tai chi. This helps their brains to focus, and gets them ready for their busy day, so it would be wise to do what the Asians do!
  • Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day. The goji berry is another ancient Asian health secret, and GoChi is the best goji product on earth!”
