HEALTH TALK

DECEMBER 2013

The Christmas Season has arrived! This is such a joyful month; although it can come with its share of stress with so much to do! This month I will be covering ways to relieve stress and build your immune system; as many germs are spread with all of the Holiday hugs and kisses!

Make sure between shopping, decorating, cooking and making merry that you take time to de-stress.I like to “enter the silence”; 5 t0 10 minutes a day of meditating will keep you in a calm state for the entire day; add music to enhance the relaxing experience. Infuse your surroundings with scents of lavender, rosemary, or sandalwood (all available at Complete Health Store). Plan a deadline every day to just stop with the fuss and relax; things can wait until the next day when you will be rejuvenated and ready! Finally delegate! You do not have to take on the holiday preparation all by yourself; most people love to help make merry; just reach out! Some supplements that help relieve stress are; B-complexes; “Lavender Calm” by Nature’s Way; and my favorite “Rescue Remedy” by Bach Flower Remedies; and we have so many more; come in and see us!

Along with the holiday greetings come the holiday colds! Build up your immune system with supplements such as; Elderberry syrup; “Umcka” by Nature’s Way; Echinacea by itself or with Golden Seal to help fight off colds or flu. Come in and see our wide array of natural immune building supplements.

Now for some bodywork advice! Try to get eight to nine hours of sleep every night! You can do this and the benefits are amazing! Exercise daily; just twenty minutes a day is plenty! Slow down; breathe; watch a holiday movie to keep your spirits high!

Remember it’s not about all you accomplish; but about the joy you get by being surrounded by family and friends!

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
