One of my missions is to be a voice that helps people find ways to avoid drugs and surgeries. I am armed with very good reasons to have this mission when I read the literature on drug side effects and prevalence. Recently, I came across some studies that made me realize that we are, unfortunately, still losing the drug battle. The information motivates me all the more to be a voice offering alternatives to the trend of more and more drugs.
We all know that exercise is good for us. So why is it that so many of us don’t? I suspect there are several reasons- starting a program can be intimidating or overwhelming, weather can be challenging, health clubs can be expensive. Perhaps you don’t have the energy to start, find it boring, too time consuming or it just plain hurts to get going. Well take heart as I believe I may have found the perfect exercise!

Most people view the new year as a time to get a fresh start on things, like eating healthier, starting a new workout routine, and letting go of things in the past year. Another great way to get a fresh start is by doing a detoxification program. If you haven’t heard of detoxification, it is really about resting, cleaning, and nourishing the body from the inside out. It removes toxins and gives the body healthy nutrients, which then helps protect from disease and increases the ability to maintain optimum health. Detox can be done for symptoms such as chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, irritated skin, difficulty concentrating, and menstrual difficulties, but it can also be done as a routine measure to keep your body healthy.
