Are You Living with Air Pollution?

Air quality is an important factor that can influence our health.   Most people are aware of outdoor air pollution.  Local T.V. weather reports routinely broadcast air quality levels and warn us to stay indoors if  air pollution particulates increase too much.  But how safe is staying indoors for you?  EPA reports that indoor air is often 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air and chemicals in air fresheners actually increase indoor pollution.  So what can you do?

ROCKING CHAIR THERAPY for: Cancer, Gastric, Colon, Small bowel, Pancreatic and Liver surgeries.

Bowel dysfunction is a normal and expected side effect of abdominal surgery with cancer, gastric, colon, small bowel, pancreatic and liver surgeries.   However it is one of the most difficult part of  recovery from these types of surgeries.  The problem can last as long as three to five days in patients.  Patients who spent time rocking in a rocking chair resumed bowel activity more quickly than patients who did not, which meant they felt better sooner and recovered faster.  Rocking chair therapy has been used for easing lower back pain, constipation, arthritis, C-sections and abdominal hysterectomy pain.

A simple reminder this holiday season.

Dr. J. Owen Hendley, infectious disease expert reminds each of us that flu viruses can live 8 to 12 hours on paper or cloth, 24 to 48 hours on non-porous places like doorknobs and phones and up to 72 hours on wet surfaces, like towels, and faucets.

Your best defense?  WASH YOUR HANDS, especially after touching these cold and flu friendly surfaces:

ATM, elevator and photocopier buttons

Faucets

Gym equipment

Shopping cart handles

Kids; toys

Money

Computer keyboard and mouse

And always wash your hand thoroughly before handling food and before eating.

Diet and Health vs Orthorexia

As a nutritionist I am frequently asked “what should I eat and what shouldn’t I eat?”  My answer seems to always surprise those individuals who ask the question.  My answer is “eat REAL food as close to its natural state as possible, and eat a wide variety of protein (meat and dairy), carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legume), and just a little fat, and avoid as much as possible man-made, artificial, highly processed, packaged convenience food, and fried food.

Immune Balance for Colds, Flu, and Allergies

Proactive vs. Reactive

Every day our body is bombarded with germs , viruses, and bacteria.  Cold and flu season and allergies can place additional stress on the Immune System, requiring it to work overtime to provide protection.  “Immune-boosting” is a term often used to suggest individuals take a product to initiate a surge of protection against an invading sickness.  Oft times this is in response to an unusual situation or a once-in-a-while situation and not a daily occurring event.   In this scenario, individuals are “reacting” to a situation in which they feel their immunity might be threatened which could then lead to sickness or a disease, such as exposure to someone who is already sick, or entering an enclosed environment that can circulate an unhealthy environment such as in an airplane, commuter transportation,  hospital,or dense personal contact such as in schools and corporate portable cubicles for high density office space.

Healthy Start

Joe wakes up each morning at 6:00 A.M.  He does his aerobic and anerobic exercises and then makes a “healthy” breakfast using his favorite high fiber cereal with low fat milk,  a side of papaya, high fiber toast and his daily multivitamin/mineral supplement.  To his daily supplement he adds some antioxidants that contain high amounts of “good-for-you-polyphenols” from green tea, some important herbs, and various minerals that consist of citrates, gluconates, sulfates, carbonates, a polynicotinate, and even an alpha-ketoglutarate.  Only the best will do for Joe!

Is Joe off to a healthy start?  Has he “covered” his bases providing adequately for his nutritional needs?  Has he “fueled” his body properly and provided for additional protection and immune fortification?
