Tips For Great Health

Supplementation

How you can incorporate vitamins, supplements and other natural remedies in to your daily health regimen. Supplementation can also refer to the times when your body requires, certain remedies for specific health concerns.

DIET Consider your diet, or eating habits. Alcohol consumption has been shown to compromise the proper function of the immune system. Start with some simple behavior modification to stay healthier. Instead of consuming sweets and drinks at parties and gatherings, try just sampling the good things. If you feel like you are “coming down with something,” then avoid alcohol completely.
EXERCISE
Around the holidays, we often have less time for proper rest and exercise. Hectic schedules and traveling can take you out of your routine as far as an exercise regimen. The New Year can bring resolutions and new commitments to exercise. But colder weather often results in a lower level of activity, too, since we don’t get outside as much. Try to take advantage of the benefits of moderate exercise on immune function -but be careful about prolonged or intense exercise, which can temporarily increase your risk of infection. Just maintaining an increased activity level for 30 minutes a day can help.
MENTAL HEALTH
The holidays often bring increased stress, as we are forced to deal more with things like family visits, travel and financial concerns. These stress factors place even more pressure on your already weakened immune system, even after the holidays are over. While it may be impossible to factor stress out of your life, do try to take time for yourself. Meditate, pray, talk with friends, walk in the woods or do whatever serves to support your well-being. In the long run, it will serve your immune system, too.
I had the great opportunity to attend a Dave’s seminar by David J Foreman, RPH. N.D the 4 Pillar of Great Health and I have been applying his advice in my personal life with excellent great result.
