January 2011 – Staying Healthy this Winter

Posted by

Hi All,

Welcome to a New Year!  I hope this year brings you everything you desire and is your BEST YEAR EVER!

What is your plan for staying healthy this winter?  Do you have a plan?

Research shows that the key to having a stronger immune system and healthier body is a
well functioning nerve system and healthy lifestyle.  The following are some simple things you can do to stay healthy this winter:

Winter Wellness Tips for Your FamilyKeep you children happy and healthy this winter

  1. Treat your nerve system, the master control system of your body, at least as well as you do your teeth.  Get regular nerve system check-ups at Stern Chiropractic. If your nerve system is bogged down with decay, your body will not be able to use all the other positive lifestyle efforts you are making.  When your nerve system is clear and functioning well (the only doctor trained to check for this is a chiropractor) your body will use all of your positive efforts to their fullest extent and will provide you with your Highest Level of Health and Greatest Quality of Life.
  2. Eat Well – Think about your food choices.  Most things are okay in moderation but:
    1. Make sure to get colorful vegetables and fruits in your diet daily.
    2. Drink at least ½ your body weight in ounces of water per day.
    3. Take a high quality multi vitamin, fish oil, Vitamin D3 & Probiotic each day
  3. Move Well – Get off the couch and away from the screens.  In warm or cold
    weather, make sure to get outside, run around and have FUN
    1. Sedentary lifestyles and to much screen time deteriorates your brain and your  health
  4. Think Well – Positive affirmations performed out loud daily and a process of ongoing goal setting will change the way you see things, provide you with a more positive outlook on life and move you toward the life of your dreams.
  5. Get enough Restorative Rest each day – if you are tired in the morning and having trouble getting out of bed, you are not getting enough sleep or the quality of your sleep is challenged.  Sleep is a time of rest and healing.  If you are not getting enough restorative
    rest your body will not have the capacity to function properly, heal and thrive.

Supplements to Boost Your Immune System

If you’re looking to gear up for the cold and flu season without subjecting yourself or your family to the potential dangers of the flu vaccine, take heart: There are natural ways to boost your immune system and reduce your risk of getting sick.  Supplementing your diet with high quality nutritional supplements is a great way to keep your body healthy this
winter.  Are you curious what supplements will help you avoid getting sick this winter or help you get over those cold and flu symptoms more quickly?

 

Natural supplements to boost your immune system and reduce your risk of getting sick

Esberitox

This natural immune booster has been the top-selling remedy in Europe for over 70 years, Boost your immune system with Esberitoxand is clinically tested. It doesn’t interfere with commonly prescribed medications, and can be used by your entire family.  Only Esberitox® combines two types of Echinacea with two additional immune-enhancing herbs, Wild Indigo (baptisia) and White Cedar (thuja).   This gives Esberitox® a broader spectrum of activity than Echinacea alone.  The powerful combination promotes the body’s resistive functions by stimulating the production and activity of critical immune cells.  A fast and effective way to help ward off as well as shorten the length and intensity of the common cold and flu.  This chewable tablet has been established to be safe for those as young as two years of age and make immune-system support easy and enjoyable.

 

Vitamin C

High Quality Vitamin CA study of 715 people showed that flu symptoms were decreased by 85 percent when people took 6 grams of vitamin C as a one-time loading dose, then continuing with 1 gram three times a day, compared with people taking only the 3 grams daily. The message here is to take a lot of vitamin C the first day you feel symptoms or the first day people around you are getting sick, and then take 3 grams daily after that. Keep in mind that vitamin C can loosen stools, so be careful if you are predisposed to this.

An additional study showed that vitamin C is 10 times more effective in its antiviral properties when taken with iron. 10 to 20 mg of iron can be taken on a daily basis, and is also a good mineral to balance the stool-loosening effects of vitamin C.

 

Vitamin DHigh Quality Vitamin D3 Liquid Drops

Vitamin D has exploded in research and popularity the past few years. Most of us are familiar with its bone-building properties, however new research indicates it improves immune system function as well.  Dr. Stern encourages everyone to have their blood levels of vitamin D tested to specifically target your supplement needs. Research suggests 2,000 – 4,000 IU daily is safe for most adults and children. Higher doses are safe, effective and many times necessary, but must be monitored by Dr. Stern.  

 

Elderberry

Elderberry (Sambucus) was researched in a group of 60 people and found to alleviate symptoms four days earlier compared with controls. Elderberry helps boosts the immune system and is great-tasting for kids. Start taking as soon as symptoms manifest.

 

Ginseng

Imported Chinese Herbal Panex Ginsing TeaPanax quinquefolium (ginseng) was studied in a large group of 323 patients as a preventive natural medicine. The group that took panax experienced 30 percent less colds compared with the placebo group (people who didn’t take ginseng), and average number of sick days were 11 compared with 16 in the non-treatment group.

 

There’s a high likelihood that the flu and/or colds will affect your family every year. In most cases it’s nothing more than an inconvenience, in some cases it can be deadly serious. Prevention and immune boosting is essential for everyone to ensure that when they do get sick, it is only a short and mild inconvenience. Trust in the power of natural supplements.
