The key to live a healthy life is ensuring that your body gets what it needs in order to function at its best. This includes getting adequate vitamins and minerals from whole foods, when possible, and also with the help of supplements, which are useful for those who have busy schedules.
The first line of defense against illness is our digestive system, through which our body absorbs many important nutrients. An optimally functioning digestive system will ensure the greatest absorption of nutrients. One of the top things you can do to aid digestion is to get enough fibre in the diet, which can guard against constipation, diverticulosis, and even reduce cholesterol levels. You can get fibre by eating lots of vegetables, and also through pleasant-tasting fibre products such as those created by Fybogel.
Equally important to good digestion is having sufficient “good” bacteria in the gut. This is often a problem in this modern age of antibiotic use, which kills not only the bad bacteria, but the good bacteria as well, which can lead to a proliferation of the ones you don’t want. This proliferation can cause symptoms such as headaches, irritability, tiredness and digestive upset. It’s important to regularly replenish those good bacteria by using good digestive probiotics every day.
In the cold and flu season, supporting the immune system with vitamin C, garlic and echinacea can help you keep those germs at bay. Select from a wide range of quality natural health products to give your system the ingredients it needs.
Joint care is also important as we age, as even normal wear and tear takes a toll on joints, tendons and ligaments, which can lose some of their synovial fluid and elasticity. Practicing yoga has been shown to help prevent this loss, and providing your joints with beneficial glucosamine, chondroitin and fish oils, along with regular exercise, can keep you moving smoothly and pain-free.
Our healthy living centre is the focal point of dental care as well. Oral health is vital as it is actually associated with cardiovascular health! Interestingly, oral bacteria and inflammation in the mouth has been found to harm arteries and cause general inflammation elsewhere in the body, leading to increased risk of heart attack and stroke. So a clean mouth, which can be accomplished using your favorite toothbrushes and mouthwashes by trusted names such as Oral b and Listerine, is one way of maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.
Finally, with the number of pollutants we are all exposed to every day, in the air we breathe and the foods we eat, it’s good to do a full body detox from time to time. Detoxing can be accomplished with herbal supplements that aid the body’s cleansing organs, the liver, kidneys and digestive tract. Try some of our Detox Teas and feel the difference, not only in your body but in your mind as well.
Having a healthy life style is not difficult; it just takes a little effort to provide your body with the best nutrients available.
