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

For health’s sake! How friendships foster wellness
Many of us take friendship for granted as a part of life or something that automatically comes along with existence. But did you know that people who actively seek out spending time with friends are also healthier and live longer?
What many of us fail to realize is that friendships form an integral and crucial part of our development and help mold who we are. The security and acceptance we find in friendships also gives us strength and courage during trying times.
The link between emotional and physical health
Time spent with friends help us relieve stress, feel empowered, and provides fresh new perspectives when needed. Combined with natural remedies, our friendships can provide strong, effective stress relief!
Friends can also motivate us to accomplish many things, such as childhood dreams and professional and personal goals. They can also inspire a change in attitude, beliefs, and encourage us to address unhealthy habits such as obesity and smoking which can cause severe health problems including depression, heart problems, diabetes, and hypertension among other things.
Through friendships we also learn about human nature, sharing, empathy, forgiveness, and are ideally able to let our guard down and be vulnerable- without feeling judged. It’s safe to say that when in the company of a cherished friend, we are truly free to be ourselves.
Friendships come from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, which help us better appreciate different cultures and religions; a very rewarding experience.
Shared activities that are not related to work and family obligations also impart a sense of meaning into our lives that cannot be easily explained. Whether your bond includes a jog in the park, fishing, playing tennis, or checking out the new Italian restaurant in town, friendships are some of the most rewarding relationships in life. This of course, has a positive effect on our mood and overall well-being.
Married couples who regularly partake in activities with friends as a couple or on their own also report feeling happier and more fulfilled in their relationship.
Children learn much of their social skills at home from parents and siblings. However, at home, they are interacting in a “safe” environment. When children start daycare and school they have to learn to relate and interact on an entirely different level.
Mutual acceptance and loyalty are some of the valuable tools they will learn that will have a powerful influence on their personality and most likely their future.
Seniors who regularly spend time with friends have been known to experience a higher quality of life and live longer as well. As a matter of fact, some researchers believe that the reason women live longer than men is due to the support provided by the emotional bonds they share with other women.
Those who have relocated for work or study can find a healthy support structure at work or school, or joining a community center. Whatever you do, try to find time to enjoy an activity with someone.
While it is clear that sharing time with friends is a great way to promote health and well-being, sometimes the obligations and stresses of every day life weigh us down, making us feel tired and lacking motivation.
Sleeping disorders, emotional distress and feeling ‘burnt out’ can put a damper on our outlook and perhaps we decide we are not even good company for our friends.
Natural remedies in combination with a healthy lifestyle can be used to maintain healthy energy levels, relieve stress, stabilize mood, and promote healthy sleep patterns so we can enjoy the vitality and health needed to experience all that friendship has to offer—for many years to come!

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.
