Weight Management
March is a good time to think
about getting ready for summer
and looking good in our summer
swimwear. Hartzell’s is here to
help you lose those unwanted
pounds.
8 to 12 lbs in 3 weeks
on our U-Lite program.
The U-Lite program is designed
to help you lose fat and maintain
muscle. You eat a balanced diet
of protein and carbohydrate to
make up complete weight and
health management system. I
believe that any program should
teach proper nutrition and encourage a lifestyle change not
just restrict your die!. Why not
look at not only losing weight but
more importantly becoming a
healthier person.
After the three week program
you continue on a weekly or
monthly basis depending on
your individual needs. The 3
week U-Lite program includes
two questionnaires, a digestive
enzyme, a chromium supplement and sufficient packets of
U-Lite for the three weeks.
Call and ask for Bob or Shelley who will be happy to give
you all the details and answer
all your questions.

March is National Nutrition
month. Why not take time
to make an appointment to
speak with Shelley, Surber
R.D., L.D.N., our licensed
registered dietitian and
review your personal and
your families nutritional
habits. I would start with
and focus on the importance of good food choices
and developing sound eating habits and also adding
in some type of exercise
program.

National Nutrition
Month
Are you ready to make a
change? Hartzell’s Pharmacy
invites you to come out during
the month of March to
discover ways to improve your
health through eating healthy
and exercising properly. We
will have a quiz, information,
and ways to help you improve
your lifestyle habits. We will
have information on how to
read food labels and what
portion sizes are. If you are
ready, we can help you on
your way to better eating
habits and exercise routine.
Hartzell’s Pharmacy provides
Health & Wellness consults.
Come out and discover the
wealth of knowledge our
pharmacists and nutritionists
can provide you to improve
your health. Because it’s not a
diet, it’s a healthy way of life!

Drug Shortages
If you can't find it we
can make it!
Drug shortages seem
to be an increasing
concern for
Americans, who had
difficulty obtaining the
anesthetics,
chemotherapy,
antibiotics, and pain
medications that were
deemed medically
necessary this
year. According to the
FDA, 2011 marks a
record 267 drug
shortages caused by
backorders, recalls,
and delays which force
physicians to select
drugs that don’t fully
meet your needs as a
patient. Luckily,
Catasauqua
Compounding
Pharmacy is able to
source and compound
a majority of these
backordered
medications.
Don’t be left empty
handed. Call us today
to find out what
solutions we have to
offer you.
Growing up , spring was the
time when mom gave us kids
a laxative to clean out our
bowels. As a Clinical Nutritionist I believe that a cleanse or a
detox should be done at least
once a year. We change the
oil in our cars and have them
serviced on a regular basis,
why not treat our bodies as
well as our autos. At Hartzell’s
we have a number of programs to help with cleansing
and detoxifying.
Core Restore B7 Is a comprehensive kit which rejuvenates the liver and GI tract.
The kit contains a 7 day program.
Metagenics detoxification program. This is a ten
day program. I recommend
using the Ultra Clear Renew
Plus Advaclear capsules to
help with the removal of toxins.
If you are interested in a
cleanse or detoxification
program this spring, contact Shelley at Hartzell’s
for all the details on the
program that is right for
your needs.
Never stop trying to lose
A recent Gallup Poll revealed that most Americans –55% say they would
like to lose weight . However, less than half of these people , 22% are
making a serious attempt to lose the weight. This is a good reason to
work with a dietitian or nutritionist to help increase your odds of succeeding. According to the same Gallup poll obesity is rising in America.
Chinese Wine Extract
Studies show that a special Chinese wine extract reduces cholesterol and triglycerides. This Wine Extract not only decreases the
liver’s production of cholesterol but also balances the body’s level
of unsaturated fatty acids. Clinical studies demonstrated that patients with high cholesterol levels, who were given wine extract daily
for 8 weeks, experienced a decrease in cholesterol levels by 11.2 to
32.8% on average. No liver or other systemic side effects were
reported. A 3 month study on 155 patients revealed that it is able to
reduce total cholesterol levels by 88%, triglyceride by 80% and
atherosclerosis index by 84%. Additionally, HDL cholesterol –the
good kind of cholesterol -increased by 65%.
A grocery list for wrinkle-free skin
According to Dr Jonathan V. Wright, an international authority on
nutritional therapy, if you want wrinkle free skin well into your
golden years choosing a pear, melon or a handful of nuts is better than an anti wrinkle cream.
Foods that accelerate skin wrinkling—sugar, sugar
Conveniently located sweetened fruit, soft drinks, pastries, cakes, potatoes,
within Hartzell’s

Foods that slow down skin wrinkling are eggs, beans,
spinach, eggplant, asparagus, celery, nuts, olives. Cherries,
melons, prunes, apples, pears, yogurt, tea and pure water.
Constipation
is defined as a reduced frequency of bowel movements
or a change in the consistency
of bowel movements. Constipation is a common problem
and has been defined as less
than 3 bowel movements per
week. Straining during bowel
movement is also a common
problem in constipation.
Constipation occurs due to a
number of factors. The most
common being insufficient
fluid intake, too little fiber in
the diet, excess processed
and refined foods and stress.
I recommend increasing water
intake to half your weight, and
increasing your fiber intake.
Take 2000 mg or 2 grams of
EFA and Vitamin C dose to
bowel tolerance. Other suggestions would include probiotics and magnesium. Herbal
Nutrients include BioDesign’s

and Sculpt N’ Cleanse which
is a combination of all-natural
herbs, including aloe ferox.

Foot Facts - Hammer Toes
A hammer toe is a toe
that is contracted at the
PIP joint (middle joint in
the toe), potentially
leading to severe pressure and pain. Ligaments and tendons that have tightened
cause the toe's joints to curl downward. Hammer toes may occur in any
toe except the big toe. There is often
discomfort at the top part of the toe
due to rubbing against the shoe.
Hammer toes result from a muscle
imbalance which causes the ligaments and tendons to become unnaturally tight. This results in the joint curl-

ing downward. Arthritis can also lead to
many different forefoot deformities, including hammer toes.
