Born from the Sea – discover the natural powers of Seaweed…

At the very heart of Nikken’s TRUE elements® Marine Organic Skincare range is a synergistic blend of organic seaweeds and coastline plant, rich in natural trace elements and minerals.

Sustainably harvested; the seaweed used in Nikken’s TRUE elements® Marine Organic Skincare range is sustainably harvested from a world UNESCO site just off the coast of Brittany, France. This means that the area where the seaweed is taken from is preserved and protected as part of the world’s cultural heritage and it is considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.

Before the seaweed is harvested it’s absorbed an abundance of trace elements and minerals from the sea – all highly nourishing for our skin. Due to the high-quality processing standards, we know exactly which species of seaweed are used, how the ingredients are harvested and how they are added to our products.

In line with Nikken’s natural, wholesome philosophy, we are proud to have the TRUE elements® Marine Organic Skincare range certified organic by EcoCert¹,with a minimum of 99% of the total ingredients from natural origin. EcoCert is a renowned international certificate that guarantees the highest organic integrity.  This is a distinction that very few products – even those labelled as “organic” – can claim.

Here are some of the seaweed species used in our TRUE elements® Marine Organic Skincare range:

1. Chondrus crispus. Can help maintain the skin’s natural moisture level.
2. Crithmum maritimum. Can help reinforce the skins natural protection barrier, promote skin cell renewal and contribute to radiance and tone.
3. Ulva lactuca. Can help boost natural radiance.
4. Laminaria digitata. Rich in minerals and trace elements, this alga can help promote skins natural regeneration, improving hydration and promoting a natural glow.
5. Fucus vesiculosus. Can help stimulate and invigorate the skin.

Whilst our skins form is basically the same all over our body, its actually very different depending on where on the body it is. For example, the skin on your face is different from the skin on your palms. A good skincare regime will go a long way in helping your skin stay naturally soft and supple.

Mental Health Wellbeing through an Active Wellness lifestyle…

World Mental Health Day is on the 10^th October every year, as recognised by the World Health Organisation¹. Its main objective is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health.

Mental health issues in the work place are common. According to Mind for mental health² charity, at least one in six workers is experiencing common mental health problems, including anxiety and depression. They might not talk about it, because this is still a taboo subject and many people feel scared and confused about confronting this issue at work. But there are small and simple steps that people can take to look after themselves and make their workplace environment mentally healthier.

Here are some of them:

1. Connect with others. Feeling valued by and close to other people can be a fundamental human need and one that contributes to functioning well in the world. Social relationships can be critical for promoting mental wellbeing for people of all ages.

2. Be Mindful. Reminding yourself of “paying more attention” can strengthen and broaden awareness. Heightened awareness can enhance self – understanding and can allow for positive choices to be made, based on one’s values and motivations.

3. Learn. Continued learning through life enhances self-esteem and encourages social interaction and a more active life. The practice of setting goals has been associated with higher levels of wellbeing.

4. Give. People who have a greater interest in helping others could be more likely to consider themselves as happy.

5. Be active. Regular physical activity is associated with lower rates of depression and anxiety across all age groups. It doesn’t need to be particularly intense sporting activity. Slower-paced activities, such as walking, can have the benefit of encouraging social interactions as well providing some level of exercise.

6. Relax you body and mind. It is well known that a healthy body means a healthy mind. No matter how physical or mentally demanding the work environment is, take time out to relax. Compact and portable, Nikken’s Kenko MagDuo® (#3020) is the ideal massage device for the work place environment. The advanced pair of massaging spheres could reenergise you within minutes! A good massage may help produce positive results even for those who enjoy excellent health. The active surface of Nikken’s KenkoTouch® (#2316) promotes relaxation and relief with moving nodules that produce a firm, slightly yielding sensation. This portable device is easily chargeable with a USB cable.

Now the body is relaxed, your mind will follow… Follow the tips above and make your work place a relaxed and stress free environment for better mental health.

Good sleep promotes good health…

AUTUMN 2018 is in full swing and as we are heading towards the winter season, the days will get shorter and the nights will get longer.

But will that extra time of darkness help you sleep better?

Experts say that in general, people do tend to sleep a little longer in the wintertime, compared to the summertime. But the few minutes of extra darkness on the winter solstice itself may not be enough to make a noticeable difference to people’s sleep habits, compared to how they sleep on the days before and after the solstice. The Sleep Council Organisation in the United Kingdom advises that, an adult should sleep between seven and nine hours a day¹.

The average individual will spend around a third of their life asleep. During this time, the body is able to replenish energy stores and make repairs, while the brain would organise and store the memories from the day before. The amount of sleep you need depends on your age, sex, health and other elements, with sleep cycles changing, as we grow older.

When it comes to sleep – your bedroom is your sanctuary where you can retrieve and forget about the stresses of the day. Follow these helpful tips in order to benefit from a well rested, refreshing and invigorating sleep:

1. Go Tech-Free… reading a paper book or magazine before bed helps make your eyelids feel heavy. But scrolling through your phone, tablet or computer almost guarantees the opposite effect, keeping you awake for longer.

2. Open your window! Temperature plays an important role in the onset of sleep and circadian rhythms.Feeling hot and sticky is not only physically uncomfortable; it can prevent your body from settling into deep sleep and reaping the good hormones released in deeper stages of rest.

3. Invest in a good mattress. Your bed plays one of the biggest roles in determining how long and how well you sleep. Your bed and your body naturally change over time (they’re both ageing!), so if your mattress is seven years or older, it’s probably time to replace it. Older mattresses do not provide the support you need for restful sleep and need to be replaced. Making this one improvement can help you benefit from nights of blissful sleep. Your pillows should also be replaced regularly to make sure you are getting the adequate support for your neck and spine.

Nikken offers you the perfect solution with its innovative sleep technologies. Take advantage of our Special ‘Head for Bed’ Sleep Offer running 1^st– 31^st October 2018:

* 10% discount on the Naturest® KenkoPad®, KenkoDream® Quilt and Naturest® Pillow.
* 10% discount + FREE shipping on the Wellness Home Sleep Packs.
* Terms and Conditions apply.

Nikken’s Sporting Support…

Nikken’s Rest and Relaxation products are designed to conveniently fit into your everyday daily life.

Nikken’s magnetic technologies have developed over the past 37 years to provide a supportive environment for our bodies and to help restore balance and relaxation.

While the Nikken Sleep products are designed to support in the body’s natural recovery process each night, the magnetic applications featured within the rest of the Rest and Relaxation category are designed to continue the support throughout the rest of the day and evening, including activities such as sport.

At Nikken we’re proud to have athlete Jack Turner’s endorsements for some of the Rest and Relaxation products and the PiMag®Water Bottle, which he used during his recent global athletic achievements…

Introducing – Jack Turner
English Schools under-20 Decathlon National Champion – 2018
All time British No.1 under-18 Decathlete – 2018
Qualified & selected for ‘Team GB’ under-18 European Championships in Hungary – 2018
English Schools under-17 Octathlon Champion – 2017
England Silver Medalist at Home International Pentathlon -2017
British under-17 outdoor High Jump Silver Medalist – 2017

At just 16 years old Jack Turner became the English Schools under-17 2017 Octathlon champion when he won Gold in Boston, UK.  Jack went on to represent England at the Schools International Athletics Board (SIAB) Home Internationals in Glasgow, Scotland where he won Silver for the indoor Pentathlon.

This year, Jack has competed in his first ever Decathlon at the Somerset County Championships. He then went on to compete in the National Championships winning the under-18 British Standards competition, exceeding the European entry standard. This led to him being selected for Team GB to represent Great Britain at the European Championships in Hungary.  It was at this prestigious competition that Jack set a new British Record. A few months later he went on to compete in his first under-20 Decathlon and achieved the gold medal and another national title.  At the end of the 2018 outdoor season Jack is ranked 6th in Europe, 6th in the world for under-18 Decathlon and 4th in the UK for under-20s Decathlon. He’s aiming high for the championships next year!

Jack often uses Nikken products when competing in athletics around the world.  We asked Jack to share some of his experiences using the Nikken products:

“I found the KenkoTherm® Support Wrap for the knee really supportive, especially since I hyper extended my knee last year long jumping. Wearing it helps me both physically and mentally.  The tight and comfortable fit meant that for a long period of time I couldn’t compete without it on.

The Kenko MagDuo® I found myself using a lot. In preparation for Europeans I would use it on small muscles and joints for some release.

I used the Nikken KenkoTouch® on my inflamed tendon, that I picked up during a decathlon, days before another competition. I used it at night just before I went to bed and felt that it really helped overnight and I performed well the following day.

I have a Nikken PiMag® Waterfall Gravity System at home, so to be able to carry around a filtered water bottle in the PiMag®Water Bottle, with me when I compete was reassuring, especially when competing abroad.”

Other items in the Rest and Relaxation range include Nikken sleep products, magnetic insoles, mini magnets, magnets for massage, supporting wraps and tape, jewellery and seat pad.  Plus, benefit from the Sleep Pack and Energy Pack, saving an instant 10%.

Make the Decision to Succeed…

Kaizen is a Japanese term meaning “continuous improvement through positive change”. Recipients of the Team Kaizen award have the opportunity to experience an extraordinary leadership position within Nikken.

2018 Team Kaizen members had to create at least one Quality Enrollment every month of 2017 and develop four or more new frontline Silver Consultants throughout the year. Even though he has qualified for Team Kaizen 2018, Royal Diamond Michael (Mike) DiMuccio continues to lead and sponsor new Consultants as he approaches 27 years with Nikken. Why? He has set himself a goal to be a part of Team Kaizen 2019.

Explaining why he was so intent on qualifying for Team Kaizen, Mike says:

“I wanted to prove to the Nikken Family, especially those following me, that even though I am at the Royal Diamond rank, often associated with ‘resting on our laurels’, that it could be done. The point was for me to remove all excuses and legitimate reasons for not getting it done. It was the consequence of making a decision. Enlist the support and direct involvement of your active upline and create a daily to-do list and calendar of events. Tell people why you are doing what you are doing with Nikken and invite them to help you do it – directly, or indirectly. Create new Silvers. No one becomes Silver just because. This achievement requires a focused effort on the part of the Consultant and their sponsor.

I have asked newly sponsored Consultants to join me in the effort to achieve a Paragon Award and Team Kaizen. The majority of volume that we have generated was from retail sales, which is a big plus in the new compensation plan. Of course, building a team is of a higher priority, but doesn’t hold back the potential for a Consultant to achieve the Silver rank mainly on his or her own steam. Contact with my running friends, ABC meetings and calls were top on the list for daily activities. Asking for ‘help’ and referrals became the means to connect to more people.

Everyone loves a deal, so extending product incentives to my Consultant’s prospects became a way to encourage immediate action, like offering a Naturest® Pillow for a Sleep System or a PiMag® Water Bottle for a PiMag® Waterfall. And now, with our new Wellness Home Packs, we have a built-in incentive!”

On his way to becoming a 2019 Team Kaizen member, Mike says: “Setting a goal and achieving it is one of the most empowering feelings in the world. I’m staying on top of my 3000 PGV monthly, mainly with the same strategy as before. I personally am also taking advantage of the new Wellness Packs to have products to loan to prospects and to promote the built-in incentives.”

In summary, here are the five main actions required with the “DiMuccio strategy” in order to join Team Kaizen:

1. Make the decision to succeed.
2. Ask your active upline for help and support.
3. Create a daily to-do list and a calendar of events.
4. Sponsor new Consultants and create new Silvers to build a team.
5. Generate retail sales to increase volume. Maintain 3000 PGV monthly.

Next month, Mike is hosting the upcoming Humans Being More Summit together with a fellow Royal Diamond Bo Tanas in Toronto.

This September… celebrate all things Organic!

Organic food has become very popular. The term “organic” refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. How your food is grown or raised could have a major impact on your health as well as the environment. Organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their conventionally grown counterparts.

Here are some of the benefits of going Organic:

Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat.

Organic food is often fresher because it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer. Organic products are usually produced on smaller farms near where it is sold. This way, by going organic you support the local economy.

Organic farming is better for the environment. Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for the nearby wildlife as well as people who live close to farms.

Organically raised animals are NOT given antibiotics, growth hormones, or fed animal by-products. Feeding livestock animal by-products increases the risk of mad cow disease (BSE) and the use of antibiotics can create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Organically raised animals are given more space to move around and access to the outdoors, which help to keep them healthy.

Organic meat and milk are richer in certain nutrients. Results of a 2016 European study¹ show that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 % higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.

Organic food is GMO-free. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) or genetically engineered (GE) foods are plants whose DNA has been altered in ways that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding, most commonly in order to be resistant to pesticides or produce an insecticide.

Did you know? ²

1. 43 % of the amount of British food was found to contain pesticide residues by Government testing in 2015.
2. 98 % of the research conducted suggests pesticide use would drop in England and Wales if all farming was organic.
3. 50 % is the average increase in wildlife on organic farms.

This September, Nikken is supporting the Soil Association’s “Organic Your September” campaign and is proud to have the Kenzen Super Ciaga® (#17001) and Jade GreenZymes®(#20310 / #20311) both certified Organic by the Soil Association.

It’s simple – more people buying organic food means more organic farms. More organic farms mean fewer pesticides, more wildlife and more animals raised under the highest standards.

The choices you make with the food you eat have an impact on the world you live in. Switching to just one organic item can really help contribute to changing our food system for the better.

BUILD YOUR TEAM and be rewarded with Nikken Reward Points…

Achieve Nikken Reward Points and cash in on the “DECIDE it. DO it. GET it.” incentive for the month of September. If you’re a Nikken Consultant, you know that earning a Nikken income requires an Active Wellness lifestyle, sponsoring new people with the Nikken opportunity and producing personal and group sales volume. In September, the “DECIDE it. DO it. GET it.” incentive rewards sponsorship that produces Personal Point Volume (PPV), as well as Personal Group Volume (rank dependent).

Active Nikken Consultants who produce a minimum of 100 PPV in September are eligible for the “DECIDE it. DO it. GET it.” incentive.

There are two categories to qualify for this incentive:

Top Recruiters

This category recognises the Top 3 Consultants who sponsor the most new Consultants with 500 PPV during the calendar month. Consultants are ranked from 1 – 3 based on the number of new Consultants recruited. A minimum of 3 new Consultants, each with at least 500 PPV, must be achieved to count for qualification of the prize. Ties are decided by the higher PPV.

Top Group Volume (PGPV)

This category recognises the Top 3 Consultants on Direct, Executive and Silver ranks who produce the highest PGPV, within their personal group, throughout the month. Consultants are ranked from 1 – 3 based on the volume produced throughout the month. A minimum of 3,000 PGPV must be produced to be considered part of the Top 3. Ties are decided by the higher PGPV.

So, how can Nikken Reward Points benefit you?

• Think of them as cash. When you purchase products with them and re-sell those products, you earn 100% profit. (Usually you earn 20% when you retail product.)
• Would you like to try new products? Use your Nikken Reward Points and you won’t have depleted any extra money from your monthly budget.
• Do you wish to recognize your team members for their efforts with a gift of product? Nikken Reward Points come in handy to make that purchase.
• Do you want to create your own group contests? Use the products purchased using the Nikken Reward Points as prizes for the contest winners.

In a nutshell, NRPs help Nikken Consultants build and replenish their business.

Nikken Consultants can see the complete details of the “DECIDE it. DO it. GET it.” on their Virtual Office.

The Nikken Reward Points can be used by placing the order with our Customer Services Team.
