Over the past 6 months we have seen so many changes. What can we do to try to prevent disease and improve health??

🌱 Use Nutrition as information - by selectively seeking good choices! Nutrients are the messengers for a healthy body - enhancing innate immunity and modulating pathogen-induced inflammation. With close to 80% of our immune cells in our gut, a healthy microbiome supports the development of immune cells and contributes to the fine tuning of immune responses. Processed foods do not help the immune system.

🌱Recognize that what we absorb through our skin, our largest ‘mouth’ organ - is just as vital to maintaining a ’clean and safe’ haven in our body. A common environmental pollutant is artificial fragrance - a ‘trade secret’ of a complex mixture of undisclosed toxic chemicals, many derived from petroleum. Toxins may prevent the immune system from focusing on the REAL issues it needs to defend.

SO now more than ever, we need to promote health - inside and out, not only in the foods eaten, but also in the products used.

🌟🌟🌟 I’ve moved into a NEW arena of skin care, with pre/probiotics, to nourish, reduce inflammation, form a protective shield (and yes, anti-aging:) Our body should NOT fight to detox the damaging effects of toxic ingredients.
.. And how about the Pets we love, and the products we use on their skin and paws? Don’t they deserve the best?

👊 Let’s all strive to be our healthiest… inside and out!
Does this resonate with you?

Good article...connecting the dots between our food system and health.

We need to “rebuild a better system focused on health promotion and prevention rather than treating the long-term and unsustainable consequences of chronic disease”

Akash Goel, Michel Nischan, Bill Frist and Tom Coliccio write that now, more than ever, it is critical to address nutrition insecurity in America head on. While food insecurity is about providing more food, nutrition insecurity is about providing the right food, so we and our children can build the....
