Essentials of Healthy Living: A Guide to Better Health
by Paula Gallagher | May 21, 2013
Have you checked out Essentials of Healthy Living (EHL)? It is a system that allows you to personalize your supplement and healthy living regimen based on your age, gender and any health concerns you may have.
Whether you are a 20-year-old woman who is suffering from premenstrual syndrome or a 65-year-old man with concerns about your cardiovascular health, EHL can help you choose supplements that will support your health concerns.
Core Nutrition is the foundation of the whole program. It consists of five nutritional supplements: MultiVitamin/Mineral, Essential Fatty Acids, Antioxidants, Probiotics, and Bone Nutrients: building blocks of basic good health. Stress, poor food choices, and illness deplete these core nutrient reserves. It is necessary to replenish these essential nutrients daily.
EHL then offers further suggestions based on age and gender, as well as your health concerns. Rounding out the program are lifestyle and diet recommendations.
This valuable resource is available online and in our store. If you require more in-depth information, schedule a consult with a health professional.

Aspartame: What You Should Know
by Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach | May 6, 2013
Aspartame also goes by the names Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonful, Equal Measure, AminoSweet, Benevia, NutraTaste, and Canderel and is found in many “diet” sodas, teas, juices, “sugar-free” and “low sugar” products. Aspartame is an ingredient in nearly 6,000 products world-wide! Aspartame is so widely used that you shouldn’t be surprised to find it in many of the products that may be in your kitchen right now. What may surprise you however, is what aspartame is doing to your health.
The safety of aspartame’s usage has been questioned for decades, yet it is still widely used. Despite the data showing aspartame leading to brain tumors in animal studies along with many studies lacking information about the long-term effects of aspartame, the chemical has been permitted in our food supply for decades. As the desire for diet, low calorie and low sugar alternatives has increased, aspartame has found a way into many of the foods, drinks and ingredients we use and choose every day. (more…)

Homeopathic First Aid
by Paula Gallagher | May 1, 2013
Why does warmer weather warrant more trips to the pharmacy for bandages and antiseptic cream? My children are already sporting raspberries on their knees from getting too close with the sidewalk!
I know that there will be plenty more bumps and bruises to come and believe it is a good idea to have a well-stocked first aid kit.
Boiron has made this consumer educational tutorial about what homeopathic remedies you should have on hand for life’s little emergencies. Personally, I do not know what I would do without Arnica Montana.
