Natural Cold Remedies

Last year we sent you a blog about natural cold remedies.  We want to improve your health by repeating this valuable information.  Cold season is upon us!  Well, it might not feel like cold season living in Southern California, but people are catching colds again this winter.  We don't know when a cold will strike, but it's best for your health to know which natural cold agents can be used to fight your symptoms.  We want you to be prepared.

1. Zinc has been known to have anti-viral properties.  While Zinc cannot prevent a cold, this mineral does possess properties which are known to prevent the formation of certain proteins that viruses use to reproduce themselves.  Zinc should be taken within the first 24 hours of your symptoms.
2. Vitamin C.  Once your symptoms appear, 2000mg/day is recommended.  Too much Vitamin C can cause diarrhea or an upset stomach.  Lypo-C is a highly concentrated Vitamin with minimal sugar and can be taken straight out of the packet or diluted with water.  This product is "nanized" to bypass digestion.
3.  Chicken Soup or Miso Soup.  There is something about chicken soup which makes us feel fetter.  Properties in chicken soup have some inflammation  properties.  Miso soup might also help in reducing inflammation and releasing toxins.
4.  Tea remedy.  Steep some herbal tea with a teaspoon of honey, a small shot of whisky, and a squeeze of lemon.  This formula may ease your congestion, soothe your throat, and help you to sleep.  Don't drink too much because alcohol will suppress your immune system.  Gasoven (formerly stomach complex) has enzymes, green tea and ginger to make an excellent stomach tea.
5.  Steam.  Inhaling steam often helps with congestion.  Whether a humidifier or sitting in a steaming bathroom, breathing in steam can help relieve congestion in your nasal passages.
6.  Neti Pot.  Nasal irrigation helps clear the nasal passages.  Warm water mixed with a saline solution can assist in relief from sinus pressure, facial pain, and other sinus symptoms.
7.  Water.  Drinking plenty of water helps you to flush your body of toxins and keeps you hydrated, even when that cold suppresses your appetite.  We have an excellent product that neutralizes free radicals, alkalizes, and is far more potent that an ionizer machine.  This product is very inexpensive when compared to an ionizing machine.
8.  Rest.  Nothing is better for the body than sleep.  It allows the body to restore itself and fight off infection.  Melatonin, which helps you sleep, is very important in curing a cold.

Steps Towards Amazing Health

We all hear about diets-Miami Beach, Cookie, Atkins, Low Sugar. But diets are diets and no matter how many of them we attempt, the bottom line is that good health comes from good eating habits. Consistent, healthy, organic habits. These habits will stay with you for a lifetime, whereas diets are fads. The come and go and your weight will fluctuate. Here are some guidelines for a healthy lifestyle.
1.You are what you drink. Water, water, water. Our bodies are made up of 70% water. Our blood is made up of 90% water. Our bodies cannot survive without water. It is essential for cellular health,hydrating our skin, preventing dehydration & preventing a whole host of symptoms that can occur if we dont drink enough.
2.pH Balance.We can't say it enough. "Alkaline bodies are healthy bodies." The more alkaline a person is, the less inflammation,the less disease, & the more energy & productive our bodies will fuction. Eating lemons,limes, & grapefruits are low is sugar & have an alkalizing effect when metabolized in the body. Look it up for yourself.
3.Have a positive attitude. Attitude is everything! Have you ever heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy? What we believe will happen may happen. In order for the body to stay in a healthy state of balance, including a healthy weight, you must find the mental, emotional,& spiritual calm, as well as physical stability.  Bottom line: uncontrolled negative thoughts and emotions will often trigger unhealthy eating in a variety of forms, aimed at comforting and consoling oneself.
4. Eat good fats & foods. Avocados are a great source of monounsaturated fats as well as nuts. They are nutrient-dense, have more potassium than bananas, and have one of the richest sources of lutein (protects again cancer & eye disease). Coconuts are a wonderful source of good saturated fats. The good fats in whole natural coconuts may help lower cholesterol & prevent arteriosclerosis. Fresh fish is rich in omega-3s and while you aren't supposed to eat it everyday, it's important to eat. Salmon,trout,tuna,striped bass & red snapper are the best to eat. Green vegetables provide the body with vitamins,minerals,fiber & micronutrients. Grains like Quinoa & raw buckwheat are high in protein & are a great alternative to a completx starch.
5. Supplements. The right type can be an important part of any weight loss program. Many foods are processed in ways that deplete them of more of their nutritional value. When cooked, they lose more nutrients. The only way to be sure you are getting all the vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients you need is with supplements. Finding the right type of supplements are a different story. Drinking your greens is almost better than eating them. Quantum Premier Greens Mix is a concentrated green powder that  can be added to any drink or smoothie. Probioticss are also a very important part of any lifestyle, as are digestive enzymes.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is easy to achieve with the proper tools. These are only an example, but Talya Meldy and Clear Way Health can help you achieve a healthy lifestyle through nutritional counseling, supplemental muscle testing, and colonics.  Please contact Clear Way Health at 310-391-2017 or at info@clearwayhealth.com for more information
