Re: Why Probiotics

I do take my probiotics! And I'm so excited that more people are discovering the benefits of these friendly and essential bacteria. It's amazing to me how many of us have upset our bacterial balance through lifestyle choices, but there is a fix in probiotic supplements and probiotic foods. Thanks for spreading the word!

Re: Home remedies for sleep apnea

Great advice for those suffering from sleep apnea - I will pass this along to my friend who deals with this. It's a scary thing to deal with and there are so few helpful techniques out there. Acupuncture helps with so many maladies, it's really a wonderful natural health option.

Re: How to Lose Your Belly Fat

Great advice on beating belly fat! I'm a huge fan of pilates and have noticed the attention to all those core building exercises are really helping reduce belly fat. I've got a flatter stomach now than I've had in years. I've also been paying more attention to foods that leave me bloated (certain veggies, sometimes dairy) and reducing/eliminating those from my diet. My probiotic supplement, Flora Source Multi-Probiotic, also can help with bloating by balancing the delicate microflora population in the gut and improving digestion.

Re: A Fast After All

Hooray for beginning your juice fast today! I've been wanting to do something similar for a while now, but after a few bad "cleansing" experiences (i.e. the lemon juice, cayenne, maple syrup thing) I've been too chicken. Dr. Cousens' methods seem to be well balanced and doable, though. Thanks for re-inspiring the desire to cleanse and get back to balance!

Re: What is the Raw Food Diet?

annamacdonagh — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:48:56 -0000

One nice thing about the raw food diet is that you're never short on enzymes, which are needed for good digestion. I'm with you, though...there is no one diet that works for everyone, we all make our decisions based on what works individually. But, knowledge is power so the more we know about different options the better! Thanks for the great article.

Re: Five Key Steps for Natural Products Growth in '09

I attended Expo West as well and was impressed with the fire that was a'burnin under the natural health industry. Sluggish economy be hanged, natural health is more important than it ever was. It is wonderful to watch the paradigm shift that seems to be happening. Traditional families are taking a much more natural and earth friendly approach, health is about eating whole and cutting down consumption to the the essentials. Items that got me fired up at Expo West: Probiotics, Resveratrol, Chia Seed, and yes, anything goat milk.

These tips for reducing fatigue are great, and they all boil down to what you can do to improve energy besides sleeping more. I often find that when people are fatigued they think it’s because they don’t get enough sleep—really it seems that it’s because they aren’t doing the right things when they’re awake. Nutrition is vital to energy levels—it is irreplaceable no matter no matter how much sleep you get.

I liked the attention the article paid to a slow down in digestion as we age due to a reduced production of digestive enzymes, and how probiotics and digestive enzyme supplementation can help. I’m not facing reduced digestive activity just yet but I am much more conscious of how much fuel I am actually getting out of what I eat. I take a probiotic supplement daily to support healthy digestion and a boosted immune response, something I cannot recommend enogh. I also try to eat plenty of nutrient-rich whole foods.
