If you're a regular reader this segment is not Deja Vu but something worth repeating:
It's an emotional time of year for many, both good emotions and painful ones; add the stress of holiday expectations, entertaining, rich food and drink, money issues, not enough time - phew! It can compromise even the toughest immune system.
Time for a Rescue Strategy.
Along with good lifestyle habits, Massage therapy and Chiropractic care, good quality supplements* can be like a magic super pill, when taken as directed. Factors like weight, age, food sensitivities, over indulgence and stress can create a weakened environment that precipitate unwelcome and uncomfortable side effects like gas, bloating, pain and inflammation that can impair a healthy immune system (not to mention quality of life).
Here are some of our fave "Super Stars" to buddy-up with in the upcoming season:
Digestive Enzymes:
break down foods (protein and fats) into nutrients that our body can absorb and use as fuel. Think about all the parties, restaurants and heavy meals over the next month or so, digestive enzymes can be your
favourite "plus 1."
Probiotics
: busy "good guy" organisms that keep our gut flora healthy and balanced, limiting the growth of the toxic organisms that may cause gas, bloating and even diarrhea. It's like having your
very own "body guards!"
Vitamin C and Bioflavinoids:
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can strengthen your body’s natural defenses, Bioflavinoids (derived from plant compounds) act like a super protective antioxidant boost against
free radicals
that are responsible for destroying cells and contribute to aging and illness.
We also have a few choice products that provide a calming influence, giving you the temporary relief you need to
handle stress more effectively.
Ask your health care practitioner what is right for you.
*never make changes to your diet, supplementation or lifestyle without consulting your healthcare practitioner .
