Ever notice that when you hear the word holidays, the words stress and sickness are not far behind? Flu and colds go through the roof during the holiday season, as does depression. We have gone from a season of "peace on earth good will toward men" to being at Target by 4:00 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving to fight 200 other shoppers in order to get the latest must have toy.

Organic Gravenstein Apple Cider · Makes 12 mugs [ read more ]  · Thirty minutes of brisk walking each day can really pump up heart health, a new study finds. The two-year study of 500 sedentary men and women aged 30 to 69 found that walking for 30 minutes a day five or more days a week at either a moderate or hard intensity, or walking at hard intensity three to four times a week, led to significant long-term improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness. · Workers who took a daily dose of beneficial bacteria, also known as probiotics, were much less likely to call in sick than their colleagues given a placebo, a new study from Sweden shows. Probiotics are contained in yogurt and other fermented foods. They've been shown to have a number of positive health effects, helping, for example, to prevent gastrointestinal ills and to boost immune system function. · One in three patients in America will be the victim of a medical blunder - such as a mistake in treatment, the wrong medication or dose, or incorrect test results. · Women who are abused by a partner face a similar legacy of health problems whether they live in a modern city in the industrialized world or a traditional village in a developing country, the first global study on domestic violence has found. · Want to give your body a boost in health and healing? Then you may want to add some fresh, organic pineapple to your diet. Pineapples are nutritionally packed members of the bromeliad family. This delightful tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which play major roles in the body's healing processes. Bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory that has many health benefits. Bromelain is effective in treating bruises, sprains and strains by reducing swelling, tenderness and pain. This powerful anti-inflammatory effect can also help relieve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and reduce postoperative swelling. Additionally, the bromelain contained in fresh pineapple can relieve indigestion. This enzyme helps break down the amino acid bonds in proteins, which promotes good digestion. · Garlic is one of the best infection fighters available for both bacterial and viral infections. It is a natural antibiotic that does not appear to create resistant bacteria strains. In addition, fresh garlic extract has been shown to be virucidal to many viruses. · Numerous studies have shown wild mountain oregano oil (not to be confused with the oregano found in your kitchen) to be a potent antimicrobial. It has been proven useful as an antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal agent rivaling even pharmaceutical antibiotics such as streptomycin, penicillin, vacnomycin, nystatin, and amphotericin in its ability to eliminate microbes. Remarkably it accomplishes this without promoting the development of drug resistant strains and other problems often attributed to the use of standard antibiotics. In addition to this already impressive list of abilities Oregano Oil is also a powerful parasitic expellant. · Essential Oil of Pine diffused into the air will help to clear a room of smoke, food odors, and stale air. · Water, water everywhere but not a drop fit to drink! When you are trying to detoxify your body, pure water is essential. If your water contains toxins, it defeats the purpose. The level of chlorine and heavy metal contaminants in most tap waters is considered unhealthy by many health care practitioners. Look into purchasing a water filter or bottled water. There is a debate about the potential harm caused by everyday electromagnetic radiation. Err on the side of caution and place dial faced electric clocks/clock radios at least three feet from your bed, avoid electric blankets, and keep a distance of four feet or more from your television set. You may also wish to avoid cellular phones and invest in an EMF shield for your computer screen. · Compound in citrus fruits may prevent colon cancer. Citrus fruits are rich in cancer-fighting compounds. Nancy D. Turner and colleagues from Texas A&M University reported that feeding freeze-dried grapefruit pulp (with properties similar to whole grapefruit) reduced the number of precancerous lesions of the colon in lab rats made to have colon cancer. Rikako Suzuki of Kyoto University in Japan extracted the cancer chemopreventative compound nobiletin from citrus fruit and found it helped prevent colon cancer in animal studies.
