Sheila Dudney is a 72-year-old retired Personal Director and Missionary for Christ for the City International Mission. She’s currently living in Omaha, Nebraska, but is originally from Pennsylvania, which is where she first heard of Res-Q Natural Supplements. She describes the positives that Res-Q supplements brought to her life and also describes some of her time as a missionary living in Costa Rica.
Now, imagine you’re on a rocky path in a dense rainforest or shopping in a busy produce market on a humid day. These experiences were common for Sheila while on her 24-year journey living as a Missionary in Costa Rica. Whether it was for a morning prayer walk or a trip to the vegetable market, Sheila had to embrace a pedestrian society in Costa Rica, where everyone walks or takes a bus to their destinations and personal vehicles are quite uncommon.
What is an amazing convenience in Costa Rica is the great vegetables and fruits you can get at these market shops. These types of natural food sources encouraged a healthier diet and the constant walking around promoted a physically-active lifestyle.
So, when did Sheila first hear about Res-Q Natural Supplements? It all started with a nagging pain in her hip!
Now, before moving to Costa Rica, Sheila and her husband lived in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania from 1974 through 1986. While still living in Costa Rica and on furlough back in Bethlehem, she decided to meet up with some friends. Sheila mentioned to her friend that she had been experiencing hip pain and that it was probably from all of the walking she was doing. Her friend asked her if she’d ever heard of Res-Q’s supplements, to which Sheila responded, “No.”
Sheila’s friend told her that she’d also had hip pain and that after taking Res-Q 1250 for about a month, the hip pain was gone! Subsequently, Sheila tried Res-Q 1250, and guess what? She reported that after a month of taking the essential fish oil supplement, her hip pain went away as well! This was over twenty years ago, and she is still taking it today.
Sheila also mentioned that, at one point, she decided to try another brand to see if she would get the same results. But, to no avail! She said that her hip pain returned after only three weeks on the different supplement. When she went back to 1250, the pain stopped, and she knew this will always be in her daily regimen.
Two years ago, Sheila had her bone density checked, amongst other tests. Her doctor reported that she received a -2.9 T-Score. A -3.0 T-Score may mean you have Osteoporosis. Needless to say, the doctors were quick to suggest an over-the-counter common drug, but after just one dose, Sheila began to feel ill. She decided to call a Res-Q Product Consultant and ask if any natural supplements could help her strengthen her bone health. Sheila then learned about Res-Q Smart Cal+ and Res-Q Vital D3.
Why is bone density important?
First, it helps prevent fractures and other injuries that can occur due to weakened bones. As we age, our bones tend to become more brittle, making us more susceptible to fractures. Good bone density can reduce the risk of these injuries and improve overall mobility and quality of life.
Secondly, good bone density is essential for the proper functioning of our muscles and organs. Bones serve as an anchor for our muscles, providing the structure and support needed for movement. They also play a critical role in storing and releasing minerals essential for the proper functioning of the body's organs.
Finally, maintaining good bone density is important for long-term health. A loss of bone density can lead to osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures and other complications. Osteoporosis is more common in older adults, especially women, and can lead to significant health problems and reduced quality of life.
To maintain good bone density, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular exercise, and avoiding habits that can harm bone health, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Res-Q SmartCal+ is formulated with vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K2, which work together to support your bones and cardiovascular system. Res-Q Vital D3 provides the necessary amount of Vitamin D to keep our bodies from being deficient, which in turn amplifies the ability of calcium in the body. The extra Vitamin D also provides a nice boost to the immune system as well.
Two years after Sheila’s bone density test and her addition of Smart Cal+ and Vital D3, she went back for a follow-up. Sheila claims that the combination of the two supplements helped her increase her bone density score from -2.9 to -2.7, which may seem incremental, but the doctors claimed the 4% increase was significant within the time period. She felt ecstatic by the news!
Sheila remains active in retirement and is taking Res-Q 1250, Smart Cal+, and Vital D3 daily. Her story is just another of the many that show the wonderful ways Res-Q Natural Supplements can improve anyone’s quality of life.
