Health and longevity are in your hands
One of the most common misconceptions is that we cannot change our genetic predispositions, and are therefore pre-destined to suffer from diseases that have long been considered hereditary.
Doctors even recommend people with a family history of diseases such as cancer and diabetes to be monitored more frequently then those who do not. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself how your lifestyle influences genetics? The answer is a lot.
Recent studies suggest that people of all ages who are predisposed to certain family diseases can significantly reduce their chances of developing diseases that tend to run in the family, regardless of their age. They can also modify the tendency to develop diseases for future generations down the road.
Numerous studies have concluded that those who adopt a healthy lifestyle-- including consuming plenty of vegetables, limiting saturated fat intake, and incorporating 60 minutes of moderate exercise a day to their routine-- reduced the likelihood of developing deadly diseases that had run in families for generations such as heart disease, diabetes, anxiety and depression.
An explanation for this is found in the form of learned and acquired habits—many of which are passed down in families, including eating and exercise habits, which are the most important. Children who are raised in a household where healthy meals are the norm are less likely to neglect nutrition when it comes time to raise their own families. The same can be said about exercise. Yet, another important factor is to eat meals at a set time, preferably a few hours before bed-time.
Even if healthy eating and exercise habits have not yet been established, it’s never too late to start. Natural remedies can be used to complement a healthy lifestyle. Depending on your specific needs, they can be used to promote relaxation and restful sleep, or to invigorate and energize you on a sluggish day. They can also help you promote healthy digestion and metabolism, immune system functioning, and routine detoxification—all essential components of the foundation of good health. Remember, once you take the first step in breaking the cycle of unhealthy habits, you and your family can soon be on your way to treading the path of good health and longevity

New Disorders - Are You Being Duped?
People often refer to our society as severely over-medicated and perhaps that claim is not quite such an exaggeration anymore! According to the National Council on Patient Information and Education, 49% of all Americans use prescription drugs – and 32 million are taking three or more each day! These staggering statistics account for over $110 billion in sales.
If those numbers aren’t convincing enough that we may be succumbing to the pressures of the media to use prescription drugs to solve any and all ailments, perhaps the onslaught of new “disorders” cropping up may be further evidence to take a second look before popping another pill.
One of the most notable includes compulsive shopping “disorder”, where “victims” are now being prescribed medicine to “control symptoms”.
Perhaps taking a closer look at the actual behaviors and their root causes would be a wiser decision… for instance, is the sufferer dealing with intense emotional issues that trigger mini (or lengthy) spending sprees to compensate/distract for other problems?
If so, natural remedies like PureCalm and MindSoothe can help balance mood and detrimental behaviors which might be a better solution than masking a serious problem with a temporary fix. Some counseling may also be recommended, on a case-by-case basis.
Other prominent “disorders” include balding, impotence, and memory loss. Often, people overlook the environments that contributed to these “new” conditions, including nutrition, exercise, and aging. It’s possible that we are now just more hyper-aware and informed of our state of health.
In addition, today’s “live-forever” society has also given way to the general belief that the physical body should be indestructible, and that every condition can be treated and prevented.
We tend to forget that the body often needs a little extra help in functioning as we age, but these changes are not to be considered “disorders”—just normal signs of getting older!
ReGrow Plus, Ikawe, and Triple Complex Brain Tonic are effective alternatives to the aforementioned respective conditions, and may provide a more pleasant alternative to harsh prescription medications.
It is probably likely that many of the conditions that plague us are in fact induced by our own actions… particularly the high number of sleep disorders.
For instance, a popular coffee drink at a national chain contains more than 350 mg of caffeine, compared to an average 50 mg in a can of soda. It’s no wonder that insomnia has become one of the fastest-growing complaints at doctor’s offices nationwide. And, while the condition is legitimately a problem, many are suffering from pseudo-insomnia, related to caffeine and other stimulants.
Before turning to a prescription, first try investigating causes of your symptoms and consider exploring natural options if they are persistent. There are herbal remedies that help you develop and maintain healthy sleep patterns like SerenitePlus , Serenite-LT and Serenite Jr. for children.
The thought process of fabricating or simply inflating disorders has trickled down to those not yet able to make informed decisions on their own.
Kids are not resistant to the influence of the medical industry, either. In fact, just the opposite… the number of kids currently medicated has doubled, and in some cases tripled between 1987 and 1996, among most classes of medication.
Given children’s vulnerability, it is especially important to get involved in the health of your child, and first look at the behaviors that drugs are used to treat… rather than the other way around.
Tuning into your body’s messages is easier said than done, as we’ve become accustomed to the rapid-relief pressures of society. However, in order to put an end to this epidemic of prescription drugs, we must learn to really evaluate our symptoms, and decide which “ailments” are truly worth medicating.
