It’s springtime, and no doubt your little bunnies are looking forward to warmer weather and spring break. Helping our kids establish healthy habits is hard enough today, but the pandemic has made it even more difficult for parents and caretakers alike. We hope these fun and simple tips can get your family HOPPING in the right direction.

Getting Ready for Spring Allergies

Many seasonal allergy sufferers are already bracing themselves for the full-frontal assault that is about to take place on their respiratory systems. Spring is known for respiratory allergies, characterized by sinus congestion, runny noses, post-nasal drip, sneezing, coughing, and itchy or watering eyes. To ensure that you prepare for the oncoming allergens, let’s get proactive by looking at how you can get ready for spring allergies today.

How Stress Changes Our Bodies and Brains

Our minds, bodies, and spirit are intrinsically connected. What affects one affects them all. When we experience stress, we see the implications throughout our whole being. As we’ve been looking into our adrenal system and stress, it’s essential to know not just how our bodies respond to stress, but how increased stress levels can affect both our bodies and our brains.

Adrenal Fatigue and Stress

We recently discussed what our adrenal glands are and how we can support them for optimal performance. This week, we want to dive into a condition called adrenal fatigue and see how it relates to stress as well as how we can use this knowledge to help our bodies heal. First, let’s look into what adrenal fatigue is.

Supporting Your Adrenal Glands

Your adrenal glands are not likely something you’ve given much thought to in the past. These two tiny powerhouses are housed on top of your kidneys and have been responsible for keeping humans alive for millennia. When we’re under stress or in danger, adrenal glands flood our bodies and brains with a hormone cocktail of adrenaline and cortisol. The adrenal glands wear many hats including managing energy levels, blood pressure, immune health, and our stress response. We’re going to take a look at what our adrenal glands do and how we can support them to avoid adrenal fatigue.

Hydration-Why Water?

Water is the most essential element of life here on Earth. All life on our planet depends on water. Adult human bodies are roughly 60-70% water, and our planet is 70% water as well. (Coincidence? Probably not.) Human blood is 90% water. So, hydration sits at the very foundation of life. Regardless of age, race, and socioeconomic status, water is the great equalizer. We all need it, but why?

Memory loss - stress, aging or something more dire?

We’re all familiar with the iconic image of Grandpa looking all over the house for his glasses, while wearing them. Or Grandma calling us by a sibling’s name. Old people forget things. We assume it’s because the brain simply gets old - some say the gaps between the synapses spread and our electric impulses can’t jump.

Managing Winter Dryness and Psoriasis

Have you wondered what happens to the moisture in your skin when you go out in winter weather? Frigid air, contrasted with coming into a room that is dry from running heaters, low humidity levels, and harsh winter wind all suck moisture right out of your pores. Not only your face, but also your hands, feet, and any skin exposed to the elements can suffer. Your radiance is lost, replaced by wind burn. Your softness is missing, and your friends only see the flaking and flecks of skin dropping onto your shoulders.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) - Why are natural remedies more effective?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is persistent, lingering, and disproportionate pain. It occurs when an injury to a limb results in longer lasting discomfort and pain, but the pain is usually associated with a sharp injury. It can be the result of a fracture, a sprain, or a twist that tears at the tendons. It's generally limb related, although it can occur in a wrenched neck or a pulled back.

February is American Heart Month - Not Just for Cupids!

To warm us every winter, we celebrate Love with Valentine’s Day. Symbols of Hearts abound. However, (buzz kill ahead) we need to be reminded that heart disease is the major killer. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), one person in the US Dies from cardiovascular disease every 36 seconds! That is 650,000 men, women and even children every year.

Can Alfalfa Affect Arthritis? Absolutely!

When we think about Alfalfa, we assume it is being fed to farm animals who chew it contentedly to grow big and healthy. What we often fail to realize is that this natural crop has a lot of advantages for a healthy life for us bipeds as well.
