ViaViente’s launch into Malaysia is expected to generate 600 – 1000 attendees in Kuala Lumpur.

Via’s Asian Leaders, including CY and Tiffany Liu, Gloria Chan, Mimi Lin along with additional representative of Via’s Taiwan office will lead the kickoff of Via’s official entry into Malaysia on March 14. Location of the event is scheduled for the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center.

Though ViaViente has been distributing product in Malaysia through on-the-ground Members like Eric, this event marks the official approval of ViaViente by the Malaysian government. With logistics and a warehouse now in place along with governmental approval of the product, ViaViente Malaysia’s growth is expected to catapult.

Pricing for ViaViente in Malaysia will be in US dollars. For updates on event times and precise location, go to www.MyViaProduct.HK. Updates will be available as they are confirmed.

Congratulations Via Malaysia!

In mid December I had the chance to tour 8 countries and 12 different cities throughout Asia to work with our Via leaders and members and also to bring Christmas greetings to them from our home office Via family.

It is a truly amazing time of year to be in Asia as the streets, hotels and shopping areas are decked out in Holiday decorations as much as any big city here in the U.S.A. It is interesting since Christmas is not celebrated the same way in most Asian countries as it is here but the festive spirit and the chance to celebrate is very strong.

I attended several special Christmas parties for many of our groups and enjoyed this chance to celebrate with them. I even had to play Santa Claus a time or two.
Of course there was plenty of hard work and effort on the part of our staff, leaders, members and occasionally even myself. Along with the festivities we did find time for many meetings, events and training seminars.

We had another strong year of growth and progress in Asia in 2008 however we are poised for explosive growth in 2009 with the introduction of the Via 3.0 and the new Travel Packs. The best is truly ahead of us in Asia for 2009.
Happy New Year

ViaViente has been shown to reduce the risk factors related to Heart Disease and Hardening of the Arteries (Atherosclerosis). I know of no product better at reducing the damage from oxidative stress than ViaViente. Taken every day, it works to reduce inflammation and the pain associated with inflammation.

Besides the brain, the cardio system is perhaps the most susceptible to the damage caused by oxidative stress. ViaViente contains Anti-Oxidants that reduce inflammation and promote a healthy circulatory system. It does this by reducing platelet aggregation, strengthening vascular membranes, and safeguarding against cellular destruction.

ViaViente is a Whole Food Puree containing the following: Grape, Apple, Noni, Blueberry, Cranberry, Elderberry, Bilberry, Lycium, Pomegranate, Prune, Chinese Skullcap Root, Gentain Root, Aloe Vera and Mineral Water. The Fruits, Roots and Minerals in ViaViente strengthen capillary walls, microcapillaries, and keep larger vessels flexible and clear. The metabolic infrastructure is maintained at the highest level, capillary resistance is improved and leakage reduced.

Flavonoids in the botanicals reduce the risk of atherosclerosis – or hardening of the arteries – which is the plaque buildup in arteries that can lead to heart attack or stroke. These Anti-Oxidants protect against the damage caused by LDL (”bad”) cholesterol, help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and reduce the risk factors from heart disease that lead to death.

Women have unique cardiovascular risk factors, especially menopausal and post-menopausal women. The fruits and roots in ViaViente take these special nutritional needs into account. Prune anthocyanins promote healthy cholesterol levels, particularly HDL (good) cholesterol.

The lack of estrogen often triggers an increase in blood cholesterol and lipid levels. Prune nectar which is rich in dietary fiber and Anti-Oxidants has been shown to be very effective in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system, especially for those who choose not to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Inflammation is moving to the forefront as a risk factor in heart disease. It is especially damaging to collagen and connective tissues because, over time, tissues begin to scar and become less elastic. Blood vessels in these tissues become inflexible allowing blood to leak into surrounding tissues. As this vicious cycle continues, the tissues lose much of their functionality.

The anthocyanins in ViaViente protect against this damage in several ways. First, they neutralize enzymes that destroy connective tissue. Second, their Anti-Oxidant capacity prevents oxidants from damaging connective tissue. Finally, they repair damaged proteins in the blood-vessel walls.
Anthocyanins’ ability to check oxidative stress makes them powerful atherosclerosis fighters. They prevent oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), increase reverse cholesterol transport and decrease total and LDL cholesterol.

They also protect endothelial cells that line blood-vessel walls. When these cells are damaged atherosclerotic plaques form. Elderberry has been found to be helpful in minimizing endothelial cell damage and dilating coronary blood vessels to maintain healthy blood flow.

OPCs also block the progress of atherosclerosis. Their importance in our diets is becoming clear as we are learning how arteries become “hardened.” It is clear now that oxidized LDL is the source of inflammation, thickening of the arteries and clotting mechanisms, all of which lead to heart disease.

OPCs inhibit platelet aggregation four times better than aspirin in smokers. Further, OPCs can prevent damage caused by atherosclerosis and unhealthy lifestyles.

The OPCs in red wine may help explain the “French Paradox” or why low coronary heart disease rates exist in French provinces known for high-fat foods and red wine consumption. Red wine contains resveratrol and other polyphenols. OPCs prevent damage from blood clots, or ischemic reperfusion injury, as well as from venous insufficiency.

All told, the jury on the cardio protective benefits of ViaViente is in. I recommend you take a healthy dose each day.

Sheri: Mechelle, what line of work you are in, and how long you’ve been in business.

Mechelle: I’m a Massage Therapist and Permanent Make-Up Artist. My business name is Beauty and Beyond. I specialize in several types of massage including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports and Pregnancy as well as Reflexology, Trigger Point Work and Stretch Therapy. I’ve been a Massage Therapist for 14 years and a Permanent Make-Up Artist for 5 years.

Sheri: Have you always worked in this field?

Mechelle: No. I danced professionally for about 9 years and I loved it but the work wasn’t consistent, and it would never provide a residual income. I started doing Massage Therapy on the side to make extra money and it eventually turned into my full time income. I still dance sometimes and plan on doing more of it once I’m making a strong income with ViaViente and experience time freedom! For years, I searched for something that would be fulfilling to me and make me happy while making me money. I found it when I found Via!

Sheri: How long have you been using Via?

By now, most of you have become aware of the devastating earthquake that hit China on May 12. ViaViente is reaching out to help.

The powerful earthquake that hit China two weeks ago measured 7.9 on the Richter scale and had disastrous effect on China’s Sichuan Province. Hundreds of aftershocks followed the earthquake. Thousands of people died or are missing, and more than 270,000 were injured. The earthquake left an estimated 5 million people homeless.

Many schools were destroyed including one that had at least 900 students in it. Thousands of buildings and infrastructure like communication networks and electrical towers were destroyed as well, making it more difficult for rescue workers to locate the missing.

ViaViente’s mission is to Restore Health and Hope Around the World. In response to the worst natural disaster to hit China in 30 years, ViaViente is donating US$ 25,000 to earthquake relief efforts in China.

We are making ViaViente’s cash donation through the American Red Cross, which has provided an initial contribution of US$ 10 million to support the recovery efforts of the Red Cross of China. Funds will be used to provide immediate relief to victims of the earthquake, including the purchase and distribution of supplies, coordination of logistics and transportation of disaster workers who are working in the hardest hit areas.

With our global presence, we have family members in Asia Pacific who have been impacted by the earthquake. Our hearts go out to those who have lost family and friends and to those who have lost their homes. I encourage all of you to support the recovery efforts. If you would like more information on how you can help, you can visit www.RedCross.org.

In addition, please forward this YouTube message to everyone you know:
