diffuse oils to treat the whole family!

Increase your energy naturally with Western Botanicals Formulas

    Feeling tired can stem from a number of physical, mental, or emotional problems. Lack of sleep, stress, poor diet and depression are common causes for fatigue. Excess weight is a big factor in many illnesses. The more overweight we are, the more energy it requires to do everyday tasks. Exercise can especially be hard for people who are overweight, which leads to less activity.  Exercise sometimes isn't an option because we are too tired to exercise, making this a vicious cycle.

    Here are a few natural things you can do to break the cycle.

Change Your Diet. Get rid of the processed food and replace it with fresh fruits and vegetables.  Eat at least 2 fruits and 6 or more vegetable servings a day.  Eat whole grains, clean meats, and drink two quarts of water every day. Western Botanicals Weightloss formula contains herbs to strengthen the adrenal and thyroid glands, assists digestion and bowel function and supports healthy kidneys. It contains Gymnema leaf which is helpful for curbing sugar cravings. Available in capsules and liquid.

Don't Skip Meals. Eating breakfast encourages your metabolism to get started in the morning. It also encourages your energy level to get your body moving first thing in the morning and throughout the day. Stay adequately hydrated with water, which will also help improve energy throughout the day.

Be Active. Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk around the block in the morning or during your lunch break. Walking is a great way to boost energy, even ten to twenty minutes a day can make a difference. I have found 30 day fitness challenges to be a fun way to work on building my muscles, and since it is using my body, I don’t have to buy equipment or go to a gym. Take up a fun sport, go biking, play tennis, move your body!

Get sufficient sleep. Sufficient sleep will keep you feeling refreshed and alert for the day. Western Botanicals Sweet Dreams formula is a natural, non-narcotic herbal formula that helps to relax the body, mind and spirit allowing you to gently drift into sleep. Appropriate for children and adults, not habit forming and completely non-toxic to the system. Available in capsules and liquid.

Check Your Thyroid. The thyroid gland produces, stores, and releases hormones that regulate your metabolism. A healthy thyroid gland will support strong energy levels. Western Botanicals Thyroid Formula supports normal thyroid function, available in capsules and liquid.

Add Supplements. Earth's Nutrition is a great way to get a good helping of the whole foods you need, in capsules and powder. Western Botanicals Super Adrenal Support liquid and Ginseng Plus Formula are adrenal support herbs which aid our ability to handle stress and reduce fatigue. Available in capsules and liquid.

    The liver is the largest internal organ and handles many bodily functions. Everything we ingest, breathe, or absorb through the skin is processed through the liver. It plays an important role in digestion and metabolism, regulating the production, storage, and release of sugar, fats, and cholesterol. Support healthy liver function with Western Botanicals Liver/Gallbladder Formula. Available in capsules and liquid.

With a few lifestyle changes and added supplements, your body can begin to break out of the fatigue cycle, and you can get back to doing the things you love.

Have a great month!

Healthy Resolutions for the New Year

Three Day Cleanse: helps to eliminate the toxins out of the body. Great idea after eating refined and processed foods during the holidays. Kick start getting back to healthier eating habits with a three day cleanse.

Extended Herbal Cleanse: for people with long-standing health problems an extended herbal cleanse will help rid the body of chronic conditions or to prevent their occurrence. Everyone can benefit from this cleanse because even if we eat right we are still exposed to pollutants in the air we breath and the water we bathe in. The cleanse kit is the most affordable way to purchase the cleansing herbs.

Eat your healthy herbs: Vitalerbs & Jurassic Green are a great start to a healthy day. Vitamins & minerals that are plant based are quickly absorbed and easily digested to quickly get into the bloodstream. Other great plant based products are Earth’s Nutrition, Bountiful Blend & Alive Vitamins. Only whole food supplements can provide all the proper elements needed to assist in total health. Herbs have been utilized for their nutritional value for thousands of years.

Eat live foods: 70% of our diet should consist of fruits & vegetables. The balance of the meals contain nuts, seeds, whole grains and grass-fed hormone free meats. Stay away from processed foods, sugar, white flour, fried foods, etc. because these foods have no nutritive value and cause pain and disease.

Here are some great links to help you with diet changes:

Exercise daily: get into a good routine and keep moving! Stretching, weight lifting, rebounding & walking are all simple things that everyone can do. You are worth it! Take the time and you will find that it is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Sleep: the need for sleep differs from person to person, most people need between 8-10 hours of sleep a night. When we get enough rest we are more alert and perform better. If you have problems sleeping work on your diet and cleansing.
