Take a “Time Out” This Summer: Mental Well Being

Categories: Mental Well Being, Quick Tips, Stress

We tend to focus on eating right as well as our physical well-being.  While these are most definitely important we cannot neglect our mental well-being.  People often do not know how to slow down or how to take a moment to be in the moment. Some people have never heard of mental well-being and perhaps npw is the time to give it a try!  Summer is an excellent time to get on the right track for your mental well being journey.  Most of us claim to be too busy to take “time out” for ourselves and that it is just another thing to remember to do! BUT to be mindful of your mental well-being is no joke.  Without peace, calmness and serenity people quickly become stress balls, which as we all know stress is the cause of a lot of our diseases today.

Why try starting a mental well-being regime in the summer?

  • The days are longer, therefore you will feel like you have more hours in the day to incorporate time for yourself.
  • More day light hours usually translates into happier people because you are able to get more Vitamin D, if you are feeling happier you are more likely to have the desire to try something new as well as stick with it.
  • In a lot of cases people tend to be on holidays in the summer therefore you will feel more relaxed to start a new regime, once you get a good hold of what works for you, you will be more likely to follow through in the the fall and winter with your mental well-being routine

What can you do to help your mental state?

  • You can always try yoga which will focus on mental and still your physical well-being.
  • Meditation can be simple.  Don’t start with high expectations.  Start small and work your way up.  It can be something as simple as thinking about positive thoughts for 5 minutes a day.  This can greatly put things in perspective for you.  Repeating positive thoughts for 5 minutes in the morning sets you up for a productive day.  When people say they do not have time for this, I say try setting your alarm clock 5 minutes earlier.
  • Try to lay down flat on your back while listening to relaxing music.  Start by relaxing your eyes, your nose, your checks, your ears and basically you work from head all the way to your toes, by really focusing on your body and nothing else.
  • Be mindful all day long.  What does this mean?  This means look after yourself and your mental state all day long.  Stress that you can cut out right away is stop “people pleasing”.  People pleasing really messes with your mental state and can actually become quite dangerous to your body.  Stay true to yourself! When we think of toxins, we often think of doing a cleanse to clean out all of the bad foods we have been eating, but never underestimate the power of toxic relationships!  Get rid of them!  We must always respect one another, but you do not have to make it your mission to love everyone and spend time with everyone that walks into your life.  Set boundaries and learn how to say “no”.  You can say things politely and with respect.  Just remember, if you do not take care of yourself, no one else will… this especially rings true for your mental well-being.  No one can read your mind and make all your stresses go away, only YOU can.
  • You can try finding solace in spirituality.  It does not have to be religious based.  Find what ever works for you.
  • Take a bath! Soak your feet or just take a walk.
  • If you really truly feel bummed out there are safe and natural supplements that can definitely help.  Fish oil with a high concentration of DHA essential fatty acid, vitamin D, a good quality multi can also do wonders!

Lastly, taking time to smell the flowers is never a waste of time.  Repeat this over in your head three times. Life is a beautiful thing and while working hard is a wonderful trait to have there has to be a balance.  It may not seem like it right now, but it catches up with us.  I myself love to work and I love seeing the hard work pay off, but I notice how the quality of my work goes up when I take time for myself.  At the end of the day there is no recipe for how to nurture your mental state, so just do what is best for you!  As always we thank you for reading and we look forward to helping you at a location near you!

Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate

Categories: ADHD, Baby Health, Depression, Injuries, Kids Health, Mood, Pain, Sleep, Stress

Your body goes through a lot of changes and physical stress when going through labour: tense muscles, bowel movements are difficult because you can’t push, back pain, irregular sleep and much more.  Even when we are not going through labour or a healing process, we are all constantly dealing with stress, sore muscles, injuries, anxiety and sleepless nights.  Lastly, Natural Clams Magnesium is also safe for your kids.  Sometimes parents come in looking for a solution for their kids constipation.  Sometimes kids hold in their bowel movement because they simply don’t like going to the bathroom because their stool has been too hard in the past and has hurt.  This is a natural way to help soften the stool.  The other benefit in using Natural Calms Magnesium for kids is it is excellent for the brain!  Fish oil is always recommended for ADHD, but so is magnesium!  The Natural Calms Magnesium is the way to go since it is in powder form, mixes instantly in water and tastes great!  It is nice to know that there are natural solutions to help you with these kinds of issues and one of the best is Natural Calms Magnesium Citrate.

CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM & STRESS

What Natural Calms Has to Say about the Calcium Magnesium Relationship:
“Calcium and magnesium are two different sides of a coin. Calcium excites nerves while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium is needed for blood clotting but magnesium keeps the blood flowing freely. It is vital to keep these minerals in balance. Too little magnesium to balance calcium can be both uncomfortable and unhealthy.

To ward off the negative effects of a prolonged period of stress or an overreaction to stress, calcium needs to be balanced with adequate amounts of magnesium. Going through a stressful period without sufficient magnesium can set up a deficit which, if not corrected, can linger, causing more stress and further health problems.

Today we have diets dangerously low in magnesium. Factor in the recent addition of nutritional calcium via supplements and food fortifications meant to stave off osteoporosis, and many of us are getting inadequate magnesium plus too much calcium.

Magnesium has an important role in essentially every life function. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve activity, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and keeps bones strong.

Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is involved in energy metabolism. Many researchers believe that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.”

Rhodiola’s benefits:  improve work performance, alleviate sleep difficulties, stimulates poor appetite, helps overcome irritability, regulates high blood pressure, relieves headache and reduces anxiety in the face of severe physical and mental strain.  Rhodiola, it is meant to be taken in mild cases for every day stresses as well.  For example, a study that used cadets (separated in two groups) found the group who took rhodiola performed significantly better despite severe fatigue than did the placebo group. 

Product Information: Sisu Rhodiola

  • High-potency rhodiola extract, grown in Siberia and standardized to contain 3% rosavins and 1% salidrosides (the active compounds)
  • Rhodiola is an adaptogen, meaning it normalizes production of certain hormones within the nervous system to invigorate a sluggish system or calm an agitated one
  • Rhodiola is clinically proven to improve general well-being, decrease mental fatigue, and improve mental and physical performance during periods of work-related stress
  • Rhodiola has also shown positive results in cases of mild to moderate depression

Lorna Vanderhaeghe Mag Smart: For Heart Health, Depression and Children Behavioural Problems ADHD

Categories: ADHD, Autism, Baby Health, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, Brain Health, Depression, Diabetes, Kids Health, Parents, Stress, Womans Health

Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s Mag Smart is in the form of Magnesium Bisglycinate which does not causeAvailable at: Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus! diarrhea.  Sometimes the issue with taking Magnesium in Citrate form is that when taken in higher dosages, it causes a loose stool.  For some people a loose stool is good news, but for those that need to take a higher amount of Magnesium, the Bisglycinate form is the way to go!

There is a lot of buzz about taking Vitamin D and Calcium, but Magnesium is one of the minerals that many people are deficient in.  Magnesium plays a vital role in allowing our body to function properly.  Magnesium is needed for our enzymes, for blood vessels, for nerves, for heart health, for the brain and much much more!

While Lorna’s Mag Smart is great for: depression, muscle spasms, cardiovascular health, diabetes as well as chronic fatigue, one of the most intriguing benefits is for children’s behavioural issues.  There is an epidemic going on where many parents are concerned about Autism, ADHD and even depression with their children. 

 According to Dr. Oz in 1980 Autistic children were diagnosed 1-5000 and currently Autistic children are being diagnosed at 1-110!

Unfortunately, there are not concrete answers as to what the true cause of Autism is.  The answer is not simple, there are just too many factors these days due to our complex environment.  The GOOD news is that there are things you can do that are in no way harmful to your children… like taking Fish Oil, balanced diet and Mag Smart.  Lorna says it best, here is what she has said:

Behavioural Problems
“Magnesium deficiency occurs more frequently in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in healthy children. Studies have shown that magnesium supplementation reduces the symptoms of ADHD in children.

In one such study, a combination of magnesium and vitamin B6 was shown to reduce symptoms such as physical aggressiveness, instability, and poor attention at school in all study participants (52 children) after 1-6 months of treatment.

Magnesium, together with vitamin B6, may also be beneficial for autistic patients. While no cure for autism is known, magnesium and B6 supplementation has led to remarkable improvement in many cases”. (Lorna Vanderhaeghe, www.hormonehelp.com)

I have seen the most attentive and dedicated parents do whatever they can for their children.  Special learning techniques, motor development classes, memory pattern routines, Fish Oil supplements among other supplements.  My heart goes out to those parents who only want the best for their children.  At Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus we truly care about this issue.  Majority of us are mothers with 20 + years experience, some of us are new mothers with all the latest information and some of us are expecting!   Where ever you are in life, we look forward to helping you with whatever your health care needs are.  Come see us at a location near you.

Dr Oz Tips on Preventing Heart Disease

Categories: Alive Brand, Antioxidants, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Heart Health, Stress, Supplements, Weight Loss

A recumbent bike is easy on your joints, easy on your back, but gets your heart pumping!

We are always trying to help our customers achieve the best possible health they can.  Genetics play a factor, but what is even more powerful, is what we can do with our genetics by how we live, the choices we make, and of course the more knowledge we have on how to look after ourselves, the better off we will be.  Dr. Oz is all about prevention, and this has been our goal as well at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun and Supplements Plus.  There is lots of support on how to take charge of your health, but ultimately it is up to you to make the change. 

There is no better way to start then to start with your heart!  Heart disease is one of the most preventable diseases, but it is also the most common.  This article is a summary of Dr. Oz’s proposal to get a healthy heart in just 28 days.  Then of course there will be added tips along the way.

 

 

Something to think about:

  • Every 30 sec someone has a heart attack
  • Every minute someone dies
  • Every day 1300 people die
  • BUT it doesn’t have to be this way, so get rid of your fear and get excited about the changes you can make that will reduce your chances of heart disease by 90%!

5 Major Factors of Heart Disease:

  • Blood pressure
  • Smoke
  • Cholesterol 
  • Gender
  • Age

Remember that if you look at the 5 factors, you can change 3 out of the five, so it’s time to work on: Blood Pressure, Quitting Smoking, and Reducing Bad Cholesterol (LDL)

Other Major Points on Dr. Oz’s Show:

  • How to keep your arteries clean
    • Do this by: clean eating lots of vegetables 7 servings day, moving and stretching, doing activities, finding simple exercises you enjoy ( for me it is playing badminton, but when there is no time, I use the stairs in my house, or use my recumbent bike)
    • Reduce inflammation in the blood vessels, by stretching everyday before work and when you get home, also reduce your stress, because stress causes damage in blood vessels. Stress makes the blood vessel constrict and this is even more prevalent in woman

Dr Oz’s 28 Day Heart Challenge Broken Down into 4 Weeks:

Week One (Improving your arteries)

  • Artery maintenance
  • 2 Tablespoons of flax seed oil prevents blood from clumping
  • Oatmeal for breakfast holds your blood sugar, and keeps you from over eating
  • Stretch every morning and after work

Week Two (Incorporating Physical Activity)

  • Try to get moving, get your blood flowing
  • Challenge your heart: climb your stairs for 7 minutes a day
  • You can reduce your chance of heart disease by one third with regular physical activity!

Week three (Lower Blood Pressure and Cholesterol)

  • Eat 3 fruits a day
  • Vegetables are now your entree!
  • Meats are the side dish

Week four (Lessen Your  Stress – The Silent Killer)

  • Reduce stress: call someone for a social engagement once a week, pick up the phone and make a positive phone call when their is time, this all helps to reduce stress
  • People stressed and depressed are more prone to have heart attacks
  • Have sex more!

Dr Oz recommends the Mediterranean Diet!

  • Below is the Mediterranean Pyramid
  • 7 servings of veges beans, nuts oils red wine
  • Fish twice a week
  • Poultry eggs dairy
  • Meats small portions
  • Sweets

Other Tips and Interesting Things to Know

  • People living in the Mediterranean tend to live longer
  • They have 22% Less breast cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease
  • Dr. Oz is from Turkey
  • Hidden health secret from the Greeks… they eat their meals together with people and this reduces stress, they walk everyday and this contributes to less stress and they take time to power nap for 15 min a day
  • People in the Mediterranean rarely eat saturated fats
  • In Turkey people know their nuts and seeds: Nuts are filled with the good fats and they help the cholesterol to go down.  Nuts also regulate heart rhythm, they contain fibre and you don’t digest them all the way, which keeps you fuller longer
  • Lastly, love your heart, but also love your liver.  By choosing the healthier foods for your Heart, you will also be doing your liver a favour.  The liver has over 500 functions, one of them is that it detoxifies you!
  • Ways to help your liver is to eat: curry, garlic and broccoli

Some of Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun, and Supplements Plus top products to help you prevent Heart Disease:

Tired of Night Sweats? Banish them with Harmony Menopause Formula!

Categories: Belly Fat, Menopause, Stress, Womans Health

Harmony Menopause in the Winter Flyer 120's $44.99! Until Jan31st 2011!

Menopause is a natural process in life that every woman will go through as their menstruation ceases.  It can actually be a wonderful time in life for a lot of women, but there are many who suffer from: night sweats, hot flushes, irritability, mood swings, headaches, sleepiness, fatigue, weight gain, vaginal dryness, dry hair skin nails and other unpleasant symptoms. What causes night sweats, mood swings?

A woman’s lifestyle is much different than it used to be.  There are different types of stress such as being in the work place, and in general life is more complicated these days.  Too much stress will be enough to upset both men and women’s hormones, which ultimately affects your health.  Other factors that cause menopause symptoms are: poor diets, and air pollutants.  Research shows that it is now common for over 70% of women in Western societies to experience difficult and uncomfortable symptoms as their hormones levels shift and change during menopause. 

What can you do?

Whether you are trying a natural herbal remedy for the first time, or you have tried many, but haven’t found one that works for you, Harmony Menopause formula is an excellent choice.  Basically, Harmony targets the underlying cause of menopause and empowers the body to balance the female hormones.  Once the hormones are balanced the body will be cool, calm, nourished, energy will improve and stress released.

How does Harmony Menopause formula work?  (Herbal Ingredients Below)

  1. Rehmannia glutinosa: clears heat from the body, provides the relief from the hot flashes, night sweats and irritability.  The other main function is to naturally increase stamina.  Also helps to support the adrenals.
  2. Vitex agnus-castus: this herb is known and proven to be the female hormone balancer.  Vitex is proven to help relieve: headaches, anger, and breast tenderness.
  3. Angelica polymorpha (Dong Quai):this herb helps to move the blood around the body, therefore improving circulation banishing cold hands and feet.  Dong Quai also helps to nourish the skin, and hair. 
  4. Dioscorea opposita (Chinese Yam): this herb is known as the kidney tonic which helps to regulate water.  It helps digestion and moisturizes the whole body.  This herb is also helping to reduce night sweats.
  5. Paeonia lactiflora: this herb is known as the liver tonic.  With a clean liver irritability, and mood swings decrease.  By supporting the liver, the body becomes calm.
  6. Bupleurum falcatum: this herb is known as the stress reducer.  It helps clear emotional frustration, however because of this herb, you CANNOT take Harmony if you are taking anti-depressants (prescriptions).

Calcium has been added in the formula to assist women in bone health and to help calm the nervous system.  Magnesium is there to help the absorption of calcium and it is there to help calm the nerves.  Lastly, there is vitamin D3 because many of us are deficient, and it helps to absorb calcium.

Dosage?

For tough menopause symptoms, take 2 in the morning and 2 at night.  For the beginning stages of menopause, or for POST menopause symptoms take 1 in the morning and 1 at night.  Also, this formula is designed to help women (young as 12 or women who have started menstruation) with PMS symptoms.  This may not make sense at first, but it all helps with Hormone Balancing, this is the key.  For mild PMS symptoms, 1 in the morning and 1 at night.  For young women such as 12 years of age, 1 a day. 

Conflicts with any other medications?

If you are taking prescription blood thinners or prescription anti-depressants you cannot take Harmony.  If you have more questions you can always ask your health care professional. 

As always, thank you for reading!  Also for more information we look forward to helping you at Alive Health Centre, Morning Sun or Supplements Plus.

5 HTP Helps Sleep, Mood and Eases Anxiety

Categories: Alive Brand, Depression, Sleep, Stress

Are you affected by sleep deprivation, depression, anxiety, or headaches?  5-HTP can help you find some solace.  What is 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)?  5-HTP is an amino acid and it is related to both L-Tryptophan and serotonin.  The L-Tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP, which then can be converted into serotonin.  Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter.  Serotonin can affect appetite, sleep, aggression, anxiety among other discomforts.  Serotonin is mostly known for playing a significant role in insomnia, depression and obesity.  It is also important to note that 5-HTP also aids in other neurotransmitters and hormones such as melatonin, dopamine, and endorphins.  This is where behavioural issues can be helped such as aggression, depression, learning, sleep and mood. 

There is an extensive amount of evidence that suggests that low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. The lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in this stress-filled era results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain. As a result, many people are overweight, crave sugar and other carbohydrates, experience bouts of depression, get frequent headaches, and have muscle aches and pain. These complaints are correctable by raising brain serotonin levels, which can be done by using 5-HTP.

Therefore, the research suggests that with therapeutic doses of 5-HTP can help with:

  • Depression
  • Obesity
  • Mood swings
  • Appetite and weight loss
  • Sleep deprivation

Each capsule contains:

5-HTP 50mg (L-5-hydroxytryptophan) 60 caps and 120 caps

5-HTP 100mg (L-5-hydroxytryptophan) 120 caps

Contains NO: Gluten, wheat, dairy, corn, soy, preservatives

As always thank you for reading the Alive Health Blog.  For more information we look forward to seeing you in one of the locations nearest you!
