Top Tips For Staying Healthy Through The Winter & All Year Round

tips for staying healthy supplements

I was having a conversation with Jenny Tomei, founder of JLT Nutrition about naturopathic nutrition and herbal medicine. The conversation came about after she commented on an article on my blog about young people with arthritis and how herbal remedies can help. I thought Jenny could add some valuable insight to my website, so I asked her to write a guest article about how to keep healthy. Here are Jenny’s top tips for staying healthy for the remaining winter months, and all year round…

So today I’m going to explain to you how you can stay well this winter, through the right nutrition, taking good quality supplements, and drinking plenty of water! Once you follow these steps, there will be no need for you to keep going to the doctor, or your local pharmacy, and spending money on medicine that is only going to treat, or just suppress your symptoms. Plus I can provide you with natural cost free remedies that might even be in your house already!

Supplements

Firstly, are you taking a good immune support supplement? Wild Nutrition is a great website to access all types of supplements. Revital is also another good website for accessing a wide range of nutritional supplements.

Are you taking any Zinc tablets? Zinc helps to boost the immune system, so this is always good to have on a daily basis. Echinacea is also another great herb, which helps fights against colds and the common flu. The one vitamin that pops up a lot is vitamin C, this is essential in our diets, and it can be obtained from fresh fruit and dark leafy greens.

Onion and horseradish solution (it sounds unpleasant but it certainly worked for my Mother) helps reduce the excessive amounts of mucous within the lungs, and is used worldwide to treat colds and flu. Onions improve circulation and help keep the heart healthy. If you want to know more about herbal medicine, search Herbs and Healing in Google.

Colloidal Silver which was largely used in the 1940s is a safer and more effective antibiotic, it is antimicrobial, and since the 1990’s it has been listed as alternative medicine. It can be used to fight certain infections or help fight the common cold, cough, ulcers in throat etc.

Antibiotics

If you can avoid them, because they kill off good bacteria in your gut! Good bacteria is essential to keep your immune system functioning! If you do have to take antibiotics for any reason, make sure you’re taking a good probiotic supplement, as these will restore the good bacteria that the antibiotics will kill off.  You can also get good bacteria from fermented food such as Kefir and Kombucha. These are also an effective aid in helping to promote digestion, and ease IBS symptoms.

Magnesium Chloride

Magnesium Chloride, why should we concentrate on this? If someone is deficient in magnesium something is bound to go wrong, as magnesium is responsible for 325 different enzyme reactions. It’s important for cell wall integrity, and when its deficient nutrition does not get into our cells very easily, and the waste products do not get out. Finally it is vital for ATP (energy) production.

Iodine

Iodine is hugely lacking in our diets, and it is essential for normal thyroid function, breast, ovaries, uterus and the prostate. If you want to know more about this watch this video…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyPuP9GMdIw!

A healthy gut

So let me explain the facts behind all this information! 70% of your immune system is in your gut, so if you don’t have a healthy and functional gut, this means you’re more likely to catch the common cold or flu. T and B Lymphocytes (white blood cells) sit near to our gut, so it makes sense that what we eat, and drink is going to have a direct effect on our health right? So ask yourself this question, why is gut health hardly mentioned in the media?

A good natural remedy for a cough is 1 Tsp Honey, 1 drop Lemon, 1 drop wild orange, 1 drop peppermint and 1 drop frankincense. Now compare the cost of buying those to going into your local pharmacy, and buying how many different types of cough syrup? How many painkillers? How many side effects? Why would a pharmacist tell you to go home and make this remedy? They wouldn’t because how would they make money?
