Celebrating Women


Women and Shaklee - A Perfect Fit

Women and ShakleeCelebrating Women and Mother's Day 
As we head into Mother's Day weekend, and the beginning of several weeks of Woman to Woman events designed to introduce Shaklee to women throughout the country, let's consider the ways that Shaklee can make a difference in the lives of women. According to a recent White House report, the stresses and pressures of being a woman in the U.S. at this time are still pretty high.

In the arena of health, for instance:
  • Women still have longer life expectancy than men, but the gap is decreasing.
  • More women than men report having a chronic health condition.
  • More than one-third of all women aged 20 and older are obese.
  • Less than half of all women meet the Federal guidelines for aerobic activity.
  • And there are increases in the number of women without adequate preventive health care or health insurance.†
And along the lines of economic well-being:
  • More women than men have received a graduate education and women's gains in educational attainment have significantly outpaced those of men.
  • Yet the pay gap between men and women persists, with women earning about 75% of their equally educated male counterparts.
  • Female-headed familes have the lowest family earnings of all family types.
  • Women are more likely than men to be in poverty.†
Joining Shaklee can be the first step on a pathway to better health and a healthier income, with greater flexibility to achieve the balance that women are often looking to create in their lives. We have the solutions, and there's no better time than with the JOIN FREE with $30.
