***NEWS FLASH***

NEWS FLASH

     There is new and EXCITING news about Zeal Wellness!!  Its no longer considered a 'dietary supplement'!  It's now Functional Food!

     Dr Scott VanLue : "WHY ARE FUNCTIONAL FOODS AND THE WHOLE FOOD NUTRITION OF ZEAL FOUNDATIONAL TO NUTRITION?  because more people on a global scale die from the complications of obesity and eating too much than starvation-World Health Organization
The world needs Zeal, you need Zeal"

What exactly is the difference between functional food and a dietary supplement?

Functional Food: In contrast to most dietary supplements, functional foods are components of the usual diet that may have special disease preventative attributes and are the topic of current traditional scientific investigation.  According the to Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine, a functional food is 'any food or food ingredient that may provide a health benefit beyond the traditional nutrients it contains"(45).  Unlike dietary supplements that can claim only general health benefits, functional foods may claim specific health benefits because they are considered part of the diet.  The literature on functional foods is vast and growing exponentially, and this review can touch only a few points that are essential for the practitioner.  

Dietary Supplement:
Dietary Supplements are used by more than one-half of the adult US population.  In contrast to pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements may be sold in the United States with little regulation other than listing of ingredients and the potential health benefits.  By contrast herbal products in Germany are carefully regulated by the same standards as drugs, and efforts are under way to standardize their regulation in the entire European Union.   Most herbal users do not inform their physicians that they are taking these supplements,and most physicians do not inquire.  Although some herbal products have clinically proven benefits, it is increasingly apparent that many contain potentially toxic substances, particularly in relation to interactions with drugs.  Hence, it is essential that practicing physicians develop a working knowledge of herbals--specifically, about claims for their usage and potential or proven efficacies and toxicities--and that they incorporate such knowlege into the evaluation and management of their patients.  By contrast, functional foods--integral components of the diet that are understood to contribute added health benefits--are the subject of intense and widespread research in food and nutritional science.  Examples may include polyphenolic substances, carotenoids, soy isflavones, fish oils, and componants of nuts that possess antioxidant and other properties that decrease the risk of vascular diseases and cancer.  Practicing physicians are advised to stay abreast of these emerging findings in order to best advise their patients on the value of health-promoting diets in disease prevention. 

Something for everyone reading this to think about.  Some of you personally know me, most of you do not.  Those of you who do know me, know that back in 2009 I started having horrible issues with pain all over my entire body after I had a hysterectomy.  I didn't know why.  My gyno didn't know why. My primary doctor at the time didn't know why.  All they wanted to do was to put me on various medications. And they wouldn't listen to me.  It wasn't until I went to the doctor on day in TEARS because I felt SO bad.  I hadn't slept hardly any in several days.  I had a massive headache and I just felt like total crap!  He agreed to do his own series of labs and sent me to a Rheumitologist.  That was in September of '09.  For the next 3 1/2 years, it was nothing but doctor visits and medications--meds that were increased when one dosage didn't work.  If increasing didn't work, then a whole new medication was introduced, which took another 4-6 weeks to get into my system.  

All of that being said, how many of you who DO personally know me, KNOW just how bad I felt?  For 3 1/2 long miserable years, I felt like total crap!  I hurt so bad, that all I could think was, "This must be what it feels like to be 80!"  And I had resigned myself to the fact that I would feel like crap for the rest of my life!   I'm only 42 now--so to think back to when all the pain issues "exploded"...UGH....it just makes me tired to think about it.  
That's exactly WHY when someone, who saw me at least 3 times a week, someone who saw me going to appointment after appointment, and taking medication after medication..she saw it.  She saw me cry because I was doing everything the doctors told me to do.  She saw me struggling and when she found something amazing?  She SHARED it with me!  Had she not discoverd this stuff, and had she not shared it with me?  I would NOT be where I am today!!!  As I sit and type out this post, its hard to not sit and type through tears.  I was in a totally different place, than I am now.  I actually feel good!  

My life was totally changed 2 years ago because someone told me about Zeal Wellness.  I'd never heard of it.  I was feeling SO bad, I was ready to try ANYTHING!  I never said "NO!"  I said "YES!" from day one of it being offered to me.  To think, had I said 'no thanks', or 'forget it'l....I just wouldn't be sitting here.  I'd probably be stoved up in bed all the time. I know I would be b/c I was about there anyhow.  I worked part time, but it was a chore in itself.  My kids didn't know if I was going to be asleep half the day or actually doing something around the house.  

THATS why our family is SO passionate about Zeal Wellness!  THATS why we SHARE about Zeal like we do!!   I simply can NOT keep it to myself.  That would be rude and selfish of me to not share it.  This product was placed in front of me at just the right time and I totally believe it was a total GOD SEND in my life.   Of course my family knows what its done for me but I have several friends who have seen the change personally as well.  They know exactly where I use to be a little over 2 years ago before I ever started using Zeal.  It gave me my life-physically-back and I am SO thankful for that!


Zeal for Life is a Functional Food.  Its not just a 'dietary supplement'.  Its NOT just about losing weight.  Its about getting healthy and being healthy.  Its a FACT that you do NOT get all of the vitamins and nutrients you need daily, just by 'eating right'.  I have the BEST product that is a "Functional Food" which means that Zeal Wellness is the best product you could put in your body!  Before you write it off, give it a try.  Don't blow it off because you "think" its a fad. Don't discount it because you had a friend who didn't like it or see any results.  EVERYONE has their own story and their own results.  Find out for YOURSELF why it truly is THE BEST ON THE PLANET!!!!

Just What Is Zeal Wellness

You've heard me and some of my family and many friends talk about Zeal.  What is it and WHY are we so crazy about it?  Why are so many people including Mr. Universe Simon Morgan and Christian Singer Carmen using Zeal?  Because it works!  Its awesome nutrition!!  Its NOT just about weight loss and frankly?  I'm tired of people of people thinking and assuming it IS just about weight loss because it is NOT!!!  Its awesome nutrition!!  The best WELLNESS product that you can put in your body!!

SURE!! You can lose weight with Zeal if that's what your looking to use it for.  BUT YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND WAIT FOR RESULTS!!!  ITS NOT ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT FAST!!
You know why?  Because losing weight TOO FAST is NOT HEALTHY!!! And if you lose it too fast?? You WILL gain it back and MORE!!
If you will make a commitment, truly make a commitment and STICK with the plan it  WILL work!!!  I've seen people lose weight just taking Zeal Wellness.  Others have chosen to use our full weight management kit--which consists of our 4 awesome products.  Zeal Wellness, Zeal Burn, Zeal Cleanse and our fabulous protein shakes. 
There is a reason why THOUSANDS of people are using Zeal products every single day. 
I personally would rather shake and take a drink rather than stand in the kitchen and swallow 2-20+ pills every single day!  What is the point?  The pills are not absorbed into your body correctly anyhow--you absorb about 15%!  Zeal works at the cellular level! 
I can't help but think back every single day to how I felt BEFORE I found Zeal.  Most who know me know how bad I felt and how much I slept and how little I worked.  Now all I want to do is work!  I have to make myself sit down and just chill and do nothing.  I  feel great.  I don't whine and whimper when I get up of a morning because my legs hurt.  I don't have to come home from work and take a nap because I'm exhausted.  I don't dread going to bed because I know I will just lay there staring at the ceiling--I actually go to bed and fall asleep on my own!   And, I haven't been sick, and neither has the rest of my family in almost 2 years!  And my kids use to catch EVERY little cold, tummy bug, ETC that went around.  And its because Zeal enriches, restores and PROTECTS! 
***As I always say, Zeal is not a cure all.  Nothing is.  Its about nutrition and giving your body what it needs and contrary to what SO many believe and think, you do NOT get everything you need just by 'eating the right foods.'***

What is ZEAL Wellness?

----

The Three Essential Nutrient Blends in Zeal
1) Enrich Blend delivers a complete spectrum of nutrition including Stabilized Rice Bran, moringa oleifera, blueberry powder, cranberry powder, broccoli sprouts and alfalfa sprouts. The "whole" food, moringa oleifera (leaf), is a unique super green food grown in India and contains more than 60 separate nutritional elements. It has been used for thousands of years in aryuvedic medicine to support good health and nutrition.

2) Restore Blend contains polysaccharides to promote cellular health and youthfulness with a unique cellular health ingredient. This blend delivers nutrients concentrated 200 times to create an extremely effective and powerful component. Because of this high concentration, one serving of Zeal contains the healing power comparable to drinking 64 ounces of aloe juice. As the body absorbs these nutrients, immune cells are literally "galvanized into action." The Restore blend is also packed with natural amino acids vital to your body’s ability to work and recover on its own.

3) Protect Blend contains more than 80 different trace, ionic, fulvic minerals and zeolites to deliver nutrients at the cellular level. Your body needs trace minerals to perform all of its functions and Zeal’s powerfully healthy minerals make an immediate impact.

Misconceptions

Misconception:  n. A mistaken thought, idea, or notion; a misunderstanding.

How many of us have misconceptions about stuff every day?  I know I do.  But, if you have a misconception about something, shouldn't you ask questions about it?   At least take the time to research it, instead of just totally writing it off?   

I'm going to cut to the chase on this post.  "Have you heard of the Zeal for Life Challenge?"  Its not just about weight loss.  Its about getting healthy, for life!
(disclaimer:  what you are about to read below is in no way stating this is a cure)

I'll admit the first time I saw that question, or even the first time I saw anything about Zeal, I thought to myself, "What the heck is that?"  I didn't ask a lot of questions, I'll admit.  Little did I know that me finding out about Zeal was just around the corner!

You see, I started seeing stuff on Facebook about Zeal right around November of last year(2012).  I saw a friend posting about earning some extra money, and thought, "well that's cool.."  Then, then I saw her with a car she was driving for FREE, because of this Zeal.  And, I still didn't ask about it.  I continued to watch her posts but I didn't think much about it, as far as asking exactly what it was.  

Then,  one day in January, a friend brought me a bottle of Zeal.  She came and hunted me down at work, and said, "here, try this.  I think it will help you feel better!"   I thought, well, what have I got to lose?  I couldn't think of a single thing.  I was already taking a boat load of pills--everything from over the counter stuff to help me sleep because the prescription ambien was not working any longer, to over the counter vitamins that didn't do anything but make me want to puke, to the various other prescriptions for depression/anxiety, migraines, etc.

Had someone said January 1 that I'd be where I am today, I would have laughed my booty off!  There is NO WAY I'd ever try anything like that.  I've been that person to steer clear of anything like this.   But, I sit and think about it now and it was meant to be.  God knew exactly where I was, and how I was feeling.  He knew how much I laid awake at night and cried because my legs hurt so bad and I couldn't lay still.  He knew how tired and irritable that I was.  I prayed every night, "Lord please just let me get some sleep tonight.  Even if its only an hour or two, I have to sleep!"  Then when I'd get up the next day, it would be, "Lord I need your help to get through this day."  And I'd go to work and I'd get through the day--but let me tell ya, soon as I walked in the door, I'd have to go straight to bed and sleep for the next 2 hours at least.  My poor kids knew I would have to go lay down.  I literally relied on my son to make sure my daughter didn't get into anything she didn't need to be messing with.  I couldn't even do any school work with either of them until after about 5pm.  

Misconceptions?  Yes, I had them.  All  I had to do was to ask about Zeal and what it was.  But I didn't.  Maybe it just wasn't the right time for me to know about it?  Maybe I was suppose to be more curious and be the one to ask what it was?    I honestly don't know.   But what I do know, is that I never said "NO"  I never said, "No Im not interested."  I was interested and I was thrilled that someone took the time to share it with me.  Had they not shared it with me, then I probably wouldn't feel as good as I do right now.  Had I not tried Zeal, I'd still be taking a boat load of pills.  And I am sorry, but to stand in my kitchen or my bedroom or where ever, swallowing pill after pill day in and day out---BLEK!!  It makes me ill just to think about it.  Its not a cure all--its vitamins!  And when our bodies have the PROPER vitamins and nutrients, then it will begin to heal itself from the inside out just as God intended it to.  I am no longer taking any medications-not even an ibuprofen or Tylenol.   I feel better than I have in years and I will not keep that to myself. I will not.  I firmly believe the Lord wants me to share what an amazing product this is, and just what its done for me and my family.  No misconceptions there.  No sir!!  My family is Zealin for Life!

Now, what about you?  Have YOU heard of the Zeal for Life Challenge?

Genesis of Zeal

I know so many of you who are reading this have heard of Zeal.  Its EVERYWHERE!!  Its going to continue to GROW!!  The Zeal for Life Challenge, is a movement of people who are on a mission to get healthy.  And the number of folks who are committing to take that challenge is increasing each and every day.
Why?  Because everyone is tired of feeling like CRAP!  I apologize for being blunt but its true.  Everything you eat, is processed.  Unless you already eat healthy--fruits, veggies, etc.
All I see and hear all day long is "Oh I feel like crap.  Im so tired.  I just want to go take a nap.." ETC.   Get up and do something about it!!!!!!!!!  You do NOT have to sit there in pain, and have that dragging feeling!!  I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How do I know?  Because I have been there and I have done it with feeling like that.  I dealt with horrible joint pain for several years and  after REPEATED trips to the doctor and dealing with feeling like crap for years, and being blown off when I'd seek help from my doctor, all he wanted to do was  put me on pills for this and that and increase the dosage.   All that did was add to the toxins and poison in my system!  It certainly didn't do anything for me!  None of the medicines helped me.  All they did was make me MORE irritable than I already was and I  gained a lot of weight.  The only medication that did anything for me, was Ambien.  And I absolutely COULD NOT sleep unless I took one before bed.

I have been drinking Zeal Wellness since January 27, 2013.  And I drank it because someone cared enough to bring me a sample.  I didn't even ask for it!!!  She cared about me that much--and knew what a horrible time I was having and how I was feeling.  All she did was bring me a single serve bottle and said, "Try this!"  I had NO CLUE what it was.  So I asked.  And I didn't just blow her off.  I knew she was genuinely concerned and trying to help me.  I can tell you straight up I will not quit drinking Zeal.  I know and remember exactly what I felt like before she ever put a bottle of that pink/purple powder in my hand.

As I said before Zeal, I didn't sleep, without Ambien, and I hated taking it because it made me sleep SO hard that I was still a zombie when I woke up of a morning.  I would get up, go to work and work 4 hours or so and go home and take a 2-3 hour nap DAILY.  It was all I could do to walk around because my knees and my feet hurt SO bad.  My toes even hurt.  My hands hurt and ached all of the time.  I found myself rubbing my elbows, neck, shoulders all the time just to get some relief from the aches.   I would push through each and every day, to go to work, go to the grocery store, clean my house and do school with my kids. I would go to bed only to just lay there and fight the tears because my whole body just ached so badly.   I would lay there and fight the urge to get out of bed and I would usually lose that fight because I would have to get up and walk around to make that feeling like I was climbing the walls go away.  It was a never ending cycle and battle every single day.

But since I have been drinking Zeal, I noticed a change.  And once I was on it for 2 solid weeks, I could really tell a difference.  Other people were noticing the changes.  I was happier, I was getting around better, etc.  I even started losing some weight--and I didn't start using the product for that reason. In fact, its NOT JUST FOR WEIGHT LOSS!   I knew it was vitamins and new I didn't like to take vitamins(because they made me nauseated).  I had certain vitamins I was suppose to take per the doctors to help with all of my symptoms, but I hated taking them.  It was all I could do to swallow them.  Zeal Wellness and the simplicity of it, was a God send and I am so thankful that my friend Jessica took the time to share it with me. 

And that's all I want.  I just want to be able to share something with everyone else.  I know what it is, and I know what it can do.  I know it can help you feel amazing.  So many people are hurting and have various health issues going on and they are OVER MEDICATED!!  Folks I am here to tell you that if you get the right vitamins and nutrients in your body, it will begin to heal itself from the inside out.  Our bodies are THE MIRACLE created by the ONE AND ONLY Heavenly Father.  Our bodies are a temple--and we are suppose to take care of it.

Why is it so hard for everyone to realize that its simple nutrition.   You quit putting garbage in your body and put the things in it that it NEEDS and you WILL FEEL BETTER!! You feel better, you want to get up and do more.  You give your body the proper nutrients it needs and it ends up having the natural fuel for energy that it needs.  Its not hard to comprehend.

Ultimately, the choice is yours.  You know how you feel.  You know what you want to do.  You know if your sick and tired of being sick and tired.  You know if you want to just get on a road to better healthier nutrition and a healthier life-style.

I could have tried this product and flat said no.  But I didn't.  I NEVER SAID NO!!  I said "YES" from the first time I tried it.   Why did I say yes?  Because, as I said, someone else CARED enough to SHARE it with me.  Giving it a try was the least that I could do.  And it has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

If you are ready to give Zeal Wellness a try, fabulous! I'd love to help you!  Just click on the link and check out my website.  If you have any questions, all you have to do is ask.

Do You Care About Your Health?

I don't think I need to repeat the title of this post.  Its a simple, legitimate question.  But, I'll go ahead and repeat it.  Do you care about your health? Do you care about your family?  Do you care enough about your family to take care of yourself, so that you will be around to enjoy spending time with them?  Did you know that your body is a temple of the Lord--He created it and we are to take care of it.  Proper vitamins and nutrients are the KEY to good health!  Not just eating right and exercise.  Our bodies need a certain amount of vitamins etc that we just do not get in our food intake each day. I don't care how healthy you eat, or how healthy you think you eat.  Everyone NEEDS vitamins!!  Plain and simple!  If we got all the vitamins that we needed each day in our diet, the good Lord wouldn't have given scientists the common sense and know how, to create vitamins, so that we can GET THEM SOME WAY!
I can't take vitamins that you just go buy at Wal-Mart.  I get sick.  And I don't mean just a little sick, I mean I want to HURL all over the place.  It didn't matter if they were over the counter, or prescription vitamins--when I was pregnant with each of my kids, it was all I could do to take the vitamins needed while carrying my babies.  Had I known about Zeal Wellness then, I'd have been taking it THEN!  I have been taking Zeal Wellness since January 2013 and I feel fabulous!!!!!!!!  I haven't felt this good in YEARS!!!
And each of you has the same chance and opportunity to feel just as good. 
Think about it.  You take care of your car don't you?   You get the oil changed, and wash it, and keep it clean.   You do the same thing with your pets!  Why not doing it for yourself!!? 
I'd like to challenge YOU, to better your health in the next 90 days!  Don't sit there and say, "Oh there she goes again!  She's talking about that Zeal stuff.  Its just a fad and I don't want anything to do with it."   Ya, I was one of those people too!  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Its not a fad.  ZEAL IS REAL!
Folks, our bodies are a miracle created by the God of the universe.  If you hurt, your lacking in something.  If your tired and exhausted b/c you can't sleep?   Your body is lacking in something!  If you have a headache all the time, your body is lacking in something.    I can tell you STRAIGHT UP that if I didn't BELIEVE in this product, I wouldn't go on and on and ON about it!!  I'll be totally honest with you.  I'm tired of people looking at me like I'm crazy.  Im NOT!!  Its quite simple.  I have found a product that has given me what my body was lacking for a long time.  And as I said, I feel great.  I feel better than I have in YEARS!  So, to go from feeling like crud all of the time, barely being able to work, but pushing through my work, and barely being able to function, but pushing through to take care of my family---if you found something like that, wouldn't you SHARE the heck out of it??  YES!!!!! I can promise you would!
Do not assume that you know all about something you have never tried.   You can NOT go by what anyone else says--thats why you have to try it yourself.  Don't go by what a friend has said--if they tried it and didn't get anything out of it.  EVERY PERSON is different!!  Each person will have and see different results, and at a different pace!!!
Zeal Wellness has been a GOD-SEND for my family.   It really makes me sad to know that so many don't care about how they feel, or about their health.  They'd rather sit and whine and complain about how they feel, always having to go to the doctor and be on this medication or that.  Im telling you, if you will make a commitment NOW---TODAY---90 days from now, you WILL feel better!  You just have to give it a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!  How can SO many who are already on the road to better health, b/c of Zeal, be so wrong??
90 days!  Come on, make the choice to start that road to better health!  Any of us would LOVE to help you get started!

Interest or Commitment

How many of you have things that your interested in?  You see something you like and you take interest in learning more about it.  For example, gardening, coin collecting, etc. 
How about commitment?  How many of you have things you are committed to?  If your married, your committed to your spouse.  If your a parent, your committed to your kids.  If you have goals your working on, your committed to meeting those goals.
How do you feel about your health?  Are you interested in learning how to improve your health?  How about bettering your eating habits, increasing your daily exercise, etc.  OR are you committed to bettering those things?  Committed to changing your eating habits, exercise habits, and just your over all health? 
Kyle and I had previously been "interested" in bettering our health, and we just never did anything about it.  We talked about it.  We looked over fitness videos and read different books on changing our eating habits etc.  We even started buying a variety of vitamins over the counter, to help to improve this and that.
And then, we discovered Zeal Wellness.  Folks Zeal is NOT just an interest of ours.  We are committed to this product.  Why?  Because its been so beneficial for us.  Has it cured what ailed us?  NO!!!  Its NOT A CURE OR MIRACLE DRUG!   Its simple, natural nutrition.   Over 100 vitamins and super foods that our bodies NEED.  You can eat right all day long, that's great by the way.  However, your body NEEDS certain items that you just can't get in eating the 'right foods.'  My body was lacking in something.  I don't know exactly which things I just know it was lacking.  That was why I didn't feel good, why I was so tired all the time, why my joints hurt, etc.  Kyle's does not have joint pain like he previously experienced and his blood pressure has significantly dropped.  Speaking of dropping things, we've both dropped some weight as well.  I started at 137(ish..it fluctuated between 137 and 140) and Kyle has lost about 35 pounds, and has started gaining muscle since working out more.
And, that brings me to something I really want to share.  This company and biz venture has lead us to meet some awesome people.  And they are not just friends.  Zurvita is a family!  We've met people from across the US--from California to Florida.  My good friend Jeremy Raney has been gracious enough to allow me to share something with all of you.  He has an incredible testimony on how Zeal Wellness has helped him.  Thank you Jeremy Raney for letting me share this with everyone!  Congratulations on your weight loss!  You look fabulous brother!!!  Thankful and blessed to know you!!
Whether your interested in Zeal or ready to make a commitment to bettering your over all health, we'd love to help you do that.  Your life can drastically change for the better!  Check it out-you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

WHY We Need Vitamins

I came across this article and just could not over look it. 
EVERYONE needs vitamins folks!!! I use to say "I'm fine, I don't need those." And I even said "I don't have time to take vitamins."  Seriously? You grab it swallow it and go.  But-they take so long for you to digest them!  They sit there and lay on your stomach for hours and even days because they just do not break down like they should. And at that you only absorb 15% of them!   Vitamins in pills-they make me sick! Literally, I wanna puke when I take them. And I can taste them all day long. BLEK!!
We simply do not get all the vitamins and nutrients we need each day from the foods we eat. EVEN the healthiest of eaters will tell you that. 
Zeal Wellness has over 100 things in it that we NEED each day!!!  If you can get all those in just one 6oz drink, why wouldn't you go that route instead of taking NUMEROUS pills?  
I'm here to tell you straight up that Zeal Wellness is IT! Nothing compares to it. NOTHING!! Z4LIFE!!
I dont find it an accident that I came across this.  As I have said, and I will repeatedly say it, EVERYONE needs vitamins.  I dont care how old you are, or how 'fit' you think you are. 

1. Overcooking
When we cook our food such as vegetables or fruits it oxidizes and destroys heat-susceptible vitamins such as the B-group, C and E. Boiling or steaming vegetables removes water-soluble vitamins such as above. And some vitamins such as B6 can be destroyed by microwave irradiation.
The perfect solution would be to eat the vegetables and fruits raw, but most people don’t like how raw vegetables taste, it also requires a lot more preparation to make raw food that  tastes great.

2. The age and quality of our food

Even organic produce that you buy in the supermarket is at least a week old. The older your food gets, the more nutrients it looses. It is best if you shop at Farmer’s Markets for all of your fruits and veggies. There are much higher chances of your food being more fresh that way, because it’s local and not imported. You should still ask the sellers how they grow their produce. You can find out about which question’s you should ask at the Farmer’s Markets in one of my earlier posts.

3. Poor Digestion.

Even when food intake is adequate, inefficient digestion can limit your body’s uptake of vitamins. Plus we don’t always chew our food perfectly each time. This result in larger than normal food particle size, too large to allow complete action of digestive enzymes.

4. Food Processing

Frozen food containing Vitamin E, will result in significant reduction of the Vitamin once it’s defrosted. Many common sources of Vitamin E such as bread and oils are highly processed so the actual content of Vitamin E is significantly reduced or missing. Since vitamin E is an antioxidant, which prevents oxidative damage to all tissues, lack of it will increase faster damage to your cells. Other vitamin losses from food processing include vitamins B1 and C.

5. Antibiotics

Antibiotics are popular for fighting infections, but they also kill the friendly bacteria in the gut, which normally allows B-group vitamins to be absorbed through the intestinal walls. These deficiencies can result in a variety of nervous conditions, and therefore it advisable to supplement with B-group vitamins when on are taking antibiotics.

6. Food Allergies

Individuals that are allergic to certain food groups such as gluten or lactose, can have a significant loss of dietary sources of nutrients such as thiamine, riboflavin or calcium.

7. Stress

Chemical, physical and emotional stress can increase the body’s requirements for vitamins B 2, B5 and C. Air pollution increases the body’s requirements for Vitamin E.

8. Lack of Sunlight

People with minimal exposure to sunlight can have a deficiency on Vitamin D, which is required for calcium metabolism, without which bone thinning might develop. Often the sun is blocked by clouds, fog, smog, smoke, ordinary window glass, curtains and clothing. The maximum recommended daily supplemental intake of Vitamin D is 400 i.u.

9. Oral Contraceptives

Oral Contraceptives can decrease absorption of folic acid and increase the need for Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, zinc and riboflavin.
I personally wouldn’t recommend oral contraceptives to anyone, because of the dangerous effects on the body, that doctors never tell you about. If you just take a look at the list of side effects, I am sure it would clear some things up ( at least for me it did ).

10. Exercise

If you are on a regular exercise program, your body is undergoing a large amount of stress ( depending on the program also ). This type of stress increases your need for B-group vitamins, Vitamin C and Iron. It is impossible for your body to fully recover without the proper vitamin and supplement intake, this can lead to injuries.

11. Aging

When we are at a very young age, our ability to recover fast is very high. But as we get older the body begins to take it’s toll. As we age we become more and more deficient in vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, calcium and zinc. Riboflavin ( B2 ) and pyridoxine ( B6 ) deficiencies have also been observed. Possible causes are reduced secretion of digestive enzymes.

12. Modern Science

As much as I like all things natural, I am also a big believer in a good balance. Modern science has provided us with incredible choices for vitamins and supplements. As much as some people believe that living like cave men is a way to go, they also might forget that cave men didn’t live past 30, and they weren’t even exposed to the pollution we are living in today.

These are just a few reasons that are very obvious to me, there are many others as well such as Bio-Individuality, Low Body Reserves, P.M.S., Pregnancy, Diets, consumptions of highly refined carbohydrates such as sugar, white flour and white rice, places a greater demand on additional sources of B-group vitamins to process these carbohydrates, lack of sleep etc. The list goes on and on. This is why supplements are so important as part of a balanced nutrition.

The Zeal for life Business - Network Marketing - Why We Rock

I'd never even thought about anything like this. If someone had told me on January 1, 2013 that I would be where I am, I'd have laughed in their face. I too have overcome fears, overcome obstacles, and am having a blast doing it. We are SO BLESSED!
We have been able to pay several medical bills that have piled up. We are working on becoming debt free, and we are helping others to do the same thing.  We have GOALS and we are excited to be able to meet each one as it is completed. If you want to know how you can make an extra $1600, let us know. We will be GLAD to share with you!! Contrary to what some may think, its NOT just about the money. And I HAVE been told that is the ONLY reason I got into this.  That's NOT true and I really don't appreciate that being insinuated.  Instead of assuming that someone is only doing something for personal gain financially, why not look at it from the point of view, they simply want to HELP folks!  Peoples lives are being changed physically and the finances is an added BLESSING and we give the Lord all the glory for where we are and what we've accomplished in the short time we've been a part of the Zurvita Family!!! If you would like more information please contact Kyle or myself.

Worth It? Or Not??

Have you ever really thought about your health and what its worth?   What is it worth to you, to feel good, have more energy, AND help you and your family financially ALL at the same time?
What if you could get up each and every morning and get EVERY single item you need on a daily basis all at once, instead of taking a boat load of pills? 
What if you could SHARE that same thing with YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY and get it for FREE!!!
What would it mean to your family if you had an extra $500 a month.  I know for my own family, that $500 would be HUGE!
And all it costs to start out is ONLY $70!!!!!!!  That's it!!!!!
SO, as I said, What is it worth to you, and your family, to better yourself, your health, and your finances?
Before you sit there and say, "Oh I can't afford that..."  Um, trust me, if I can afford to try it, you can.  I thought the SAME thing and I have thought the SAME thing numerous times over the years.  When I saw that I could try something at as little cost as that, I went for it.   I was as I have said over and over and OVER again, I was tired.  I was tired of feeling like I'd been hit by a mack truck.  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome--is exactly what it says.  When you have that AND insomnia, trust me folks, IT SUCKS!!! 
When you get up and go to work every day to help contribute to your families finances, and then walk in the door when you get home and want to go straight to bed to sleep for two hours, before you can even do school work with your kids......
When no matter what you do, your joints hurt so bad that its all you can do to get through the day because you just want to curl up in a ball and not move, but the lack of movement is just as bad as walking....
I was there!!!  I couldn't sleep, even with Ambien to help me sleep, I got very little.  My joints hurt, even with the numerous medications I was on.   Extra multivitamins to help various symptoms..NOTHING helped. 
And then, thanks to a friend I was introduced to Zeal Wellness.  And OMgoodness...It was a literal GOD SEND in my life.   I have never felt better than I do now.  I can sleep--I have not slept so good in over 12 years!!!!!!!
I have a whole HUGE long list of things its helped with.  I have family members its helped.  I have numerous friends that are Zealin and they feel better than they ever have.
SO, as I've said before..what are you waiting for?   Just try it for 30 days.  And if your like I was, really ready for a challenge, go for a 90 day one!   And, something else I've been saying..You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!  Just give it a chance.   You will not know what it can do for you, unless you take that step of faith and go for it.  Just like we did!!!!

What Could Extra $ Do For You

If you had the chance to help yourself, or your family out each and every month with just a little extra income, would you do it?  What could make a change and difference in your family's finances?  And extra $200, $300, $500, or even $1,000?
When I decided to take a jump into my business, I thought to myself, "Ya it would be nice to have just a little extra money each month.  Every little bit helps!!!"    Ya, my husband has a full time job, and I work part time outside of the home.  BUT..thats not really the point.  The point is, that I wanted to help my family out if I could, with just a little more income.  I thought, if all these other people can go out and do something like this, then why can't I?  It didnt take long before I had decided, I was in.  I mean, why not?  I didn't have anything to lose and everything to gain.  I'd never done anything like this before.   And Im glad that I did. 
Why?  Because jumping in with both feet first, has proven to be a good thing for our family.  I have said it before and I will say it again, as many times as I need to say it.  I have said from DAY 1 of making this decision that IF we made some extra $, great!!  If we didn't make a dime, GREAT!  How would we know what would happen if we didn't take that chance?  But, we have generated a little extra income and its allowed us to pay some medical bills that we've needed to get caught up on.  For the first time in THREE years, I was able to pay for my son to go to church camp this summer! Do you know what its like to be able to pay for something, where in the past, you worked your tail off to get some extra cash, and no matter what, you just didn't get to take care of whatever you were wanting to take care of?!! 
I'm so thankful that my son has been able to go to Falls Creek with our church the times that he has, but to be able to pay for it on my own for a change, is a huge thing.  To be able to take a medical bill thats been laying on the counter, getting shoved under other bills, and totally forgotten about....and I can take it and get it paid off now?  Its a GREAT feeling.  Had I NOT taken the steps to try to help us out financially, even just a little bit, those medical bills would still be there and my son would probably not go to camp this year.  
I've been told that the only reason I decided to do this and get into biz with Zeal is 'because of all the #$% $#%^ money I'd make.."  Well let me just tell you something.  Thats NOT IT!!!   And let me add, that you have NO IDEA what some people may be going through.  You don't have any idea why they may be trying to bring in some extra money.  Its not any of your business to be quite frank about it.  Especially if all you are going to do is belittle someone and put them down for trying to take additional steps to financial freedom.   As I said, the little bit of extra cushion is nice between pay days, but thats not the reason I did it.  I started the product and was floored at how much better I felt.  I thought, heck, if I feel this good then I KNOW other people will want to feel good. Why not share it with them?    I was tired of feeling like CRAP--sorry, I felt the need to be blunt there, just not too blunt.  But I was sick to death of getting up each day, feeling horrible, tired after sleeping--even with taking something to help me sleep, feeling exhausted ALL DAY LONG, my joints aching, making me feel like I must be about 80, ETC.   Once I was on the product for 2 weeks, I knew I had to move forward and I knew I was suppose to share it with anyone I could.  And share with folks is what I will continue to do.
So how about you?  Could YOU use a little extra income each month?  Could you stand to feel better?  Of course!! Everyone needs vitamins!!  And its MUCH easier to take Zeal Wellness. You get EVERYTHING you need each day--over 120+ things, all in one little 6oz drink.  I'd much rather get a bottle of that, add some juice to it, shake it up, chug it and GO!!!!!!   Who has time to stand there and swallow a boat load of pills?  Better yet, who WANTS to stand around and swallow a bunch of pills.  Crazy if you ask me!

As I said, you have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain, if you will just TRUST ME, and the other 15,000+ people who have taken the same leap of faith that Kyle and I chose to take.

DISCLAIMER READ!

I feel the need to clarify something.  I make  NO CLAIMS to Zeal Wellness being a MIRACLE DRUG OR CURE ALL!!
Folks, here is the deal.  Our Lord and Savior created our bodies---THAT IS THE MIRACLE!!! And when our bodies have the proper vitamins, nutrients and super foods that He also created, then our bodies will heal themselves from the INSIDE OUT!!
Thank you LeNard Rhone for making that awesome analogy.
Yes, I have several issues that I have personally dealt with since 2000--namely being depression, anxiety, migraines, and insomnia.  Why?? Because something happened to me that totally screwed up the chemical balances in my system.  When those systems are out of balance it affects our whole being.  We do get depressed, and have anxiety attacks.  Migraines or headaches--they are our way of telling us that our bodies NEED something.  Insomnia--my problem was that my mind was racing 90 to nothing, keeping me anxious and keeping me awake.  But then joint pain from Fibromyalgia creeped into my life in 2009 and the pain in my joints kept me awake at night.   Pain levels head to to were miserable.  I couldn't lay still.  I felt like I was climbing the walls.  Lack of sleep obviously just increased my daily fatigue.  I wanted to take a nap during the day and I'd sleep for 2-3 hours.  Vicious cycles that I went to the doctor for years for.  Nothing they suggested for me to do or medicines they gave me helped.  They told me to double up on various vitamins.  I did that, and I felt NO RELIEF from any of my symptoms.
A friend from church gave me 2 sample bottles of Zeal Wellness.  I tried it 2 days, liked it, bought a canister of it and within just 2 weeks of drinking Zeal, my symptoms began to just go away.   If I can take a liquid vitamin wellness drink and feel as good as I do since I started taking it, then I will continue to take it.
I know exactly how I felt before I ever started drinking Zeal Wellness and I will not go back to where I was before.  I've battled weight gain since 2008 when I had a total hysterectomy.  I have NEVER had an issue with my weight until then.  Zeal has given me the extra energy and boosted my metabolism and that has helped me to lose 16 pounds!
All I am saying is that contrary to what some people may think, its not a joke, its not a hoax and its not a lie. When it comes to  any of the information that is being shared about Zeal-- Don't knock it until you've tried it and given it a chance.    Its JUST VITAMINS FOLKS!!!!!  And contrary to what some believe--EVERYONE needs vitamins!  No matter how well you eat--there's just some things that aren't in the foods that we eat every day, that we really do need.  And if you want to get real technical about it..The Lord created EVERY SINGLE item that is in Zeal Wellness.  And HE is the one who gave the formulators of Zeal the ability to do what they have done, making it simple for us to get ALL of those things in ONE SIMPLE 6oz. drink!
And my family is Z4L!!!

Zeal For Life

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

Look at all the wonderful things that the Lord our God created?  And they were created for US! 
Our bodies need a certain amount of nutrients, supplements, and vitamins each and every day. And not only do we have all of those things, but we can get them all in a 6oz drink.
There are numerous health products in the market today.  But Zeal takes the guess work out of staying healthy.  Zeal wellness has over 100  essential nutrients including nutritional superstars such as rice bran and aloe vera that work synergistically to Enrich, Restore and Protect your body.
Zeal is not in pill form--to get each and everything that is in Zeal, you would have to take 50-60 capsules daily.  It does not come already mixed and in a liquid form because its much more cost effective to ship it in powder form.  When it comes to natural potency, it is more stable as a powder than in liquid form.
You can mix it with ANY juice, or cold water.  The only thing that we suggest you do not mix it with is anything hot.  It does not mix well with heat, and the heat could destroy some of the nutrients in Zeal Wellness effectiveness.
Zeal Wellness is all natural with the exception of the fortification of a few vitamins.  There are no artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives in Zeal Wellness. 
Zeal Wellness is NOT a miracle drug or cure all.  If you are unsure of whether you can use Zeal Wellness, consult your doctor first. 
For more information and answers to additional questions that you may have about Zeal, please contact us. 
We would be happy to answer any questions for you.
Zeal Wellness is not a scam or a hoax or a money making scheme.  I can guarantee if it was, I would not be sharing it with the world.  I truly believe that Zeal Wellness is anointed by the Lord.  He has given people the ability to create something to help us get the nutrients we need each day. 
I myself can not take vitamins--I have tried for years to take vitamins.  They make me sick.  Within about 15 minutes I want to just puke them right back up.  I have not gotten nauseated with Zeal Wellness one time.  Its got a great taste; mixes easily; tastes great...Oh wait, I already said that.  Both of my kids drink Zeal and that says a lot.  At least for one of them.  He's SUPER picky.  And, my husband will even drink it.  He's even pickier than my son is. 
Zeal Wellness was introduced to us and its been a blessing since that first time that I drank it.  Im continually amazed each and every day.
I would love to be able to share what its done for me, with you.  Please, check out my website.  You can contact me via my webpage or comment/message me via this blog.

Zeal FAQ/Questions


Saturday, March 16, 2013


I want to get healthy and fit as much as any other person.  I want to eat right, and get all the vitamins and nutrients that I need each day.   I want to take care of the earthly body that my heavenly father blessed me with.  The Bible clearly tells us,  "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).
 We can honor the word by taking care of ourselves and giving our bodies the nutrients that we need on a daily basis.  Even if you eat right and exercise or work out, you can not and you are not going to get every single thing that is needed.   If make a list of each of the things in the below, take it to the store--Akin's, GNC, Wal-Mart, etc..you are going to pay at the least, $450.  I don't know about you, but thats a HUGE chunk of mula to me!
I was introduced to Zeal Wellness just 7 weeks ago.  I have been totally amazed.  How is it possible that ONE little 6oz drink do anything for me.  How is that possible.  How in the world can taking some vitamins do anything for me?  I've taken vitamins before and didn't really feel a thing..except maybe bloated.  I know I know..eeeeww....but its true! 
Vitamin pills, you take them and they just sit there and hang out in your tummy.  They take their time about breaking down.  And honestly, they make me sick.  BLEK.  I can swallow one and taste it for an hour. 
And not just pills, some of the stuff its in liquid form and by itself its just some icky icky poo stuff! ;0)
But with Zeal Wellness everything our bodies need on a daily basis are in that one little 6 oz drink. 
Seriously?!!  YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!  Everything you see below comes in Zeal Wellness and you simply add 6oz of cold water, or juice--ANY flavor you like.  And drink up.   And you are set with the nutrients that you need to get through the rest of your day!


IF you go out to buy all of the above items you will spend $450+tax!  If you go to my website and by a canister of Zeal Wellness,  you will save a lot of $$ and you will only spend $69 plus tax/shipping.


Believe me when I say JUST TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT!!!!  You get every item crossed out in the pic above right here in this little bottle :)

Zeal for LIFE

ZEAL.  What does that mean? Zeal is the eagerness and ardent interest in pursuit of something. Im happy to share with you that I am starting a new adventure.  I have thought a lot about this; I have prayed about it; I have contemplated it; and now I am taking a step and leap of faith because I want to better my health as well as the health of family and friends. 
What is Zeal Wellness?
Zeal Wellness is an all-in-one natural nutritional drink. Zeal Wellness is a synergistic blend of whole food concentrates providing an excellent source of nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins that enrich, restore, and protect you body at the cellular level.

I've made it no secret that I have dealt with a lot of things the last several years.  I've asked 'Why Me?"  And the Lord reminds me, I am not to ask why--because HE knows what lies ahead. He has plans for me, and I must believe and trust in Him. (My story comes in the next blog)
Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)
 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
***Zeal Wellness is NOT a miracle cure--our bodies are the miracle created by God**
