National Celiac Disease Awareness Day was September 13:
Celiac disease is an allergic reaction to wheat. The human body was never designed to digest gluten. Even without celiac, gluten is very hard to digest (the Latin word for glue is gluten!) Gluten is abundant in many of the foods we consume daily, including bread, pasta, pizza, cakes and pastries, crackers, cereals, and bagels. It also is present in sauces, salad dressings, canned soups, and processed meats. 🍞🥨🍝

World Digestive Health Day is celebrated every year on May 29. The purpose is to raise awareness about the importance of digestive health and promote measures to prevent and manage digestive disorders.
Digestive health is crucial for overall well-being because it directly impacts nutrient absorption, immune function, and mental health. A healthy digestive system efficiently breaks down food, extracts nutrients, and eliminates waste supporting energy levels, immune system function, and mental health. The gut houses a significant portion of the body’s immune cells. A healthy gut microbiota helps train the immune system to distinguish between harmful and beneficial substances. The gut and brain are closely connected with the gut producing neurochemicals that can impact mood and well-being - called the “gut-brain axis.” Foods to eat to create a good gut microbiome include raw foods like fruits and vegetables, grass-fed meats, more fiber/probiotics & low carbs/white sugar/fructose and taking supplements and colloidal minerals or trace minerals.

Today is World Thyroid Day 🩵🎗️🩷
The thyroid is an important hormone maker that is the key to a variety of body functions including weight control, bone density, women’s hormones, energy levels, body temperature, metabolism, growth development, heart rate, cholesterol levels, muscle strength, breathing, and the health of the central nervous system. The hormone thyrotropin controls the thyroid’s functions of manufacturing and releasing hormones. Iodide (iodine) from the diet is transported to the thyroid and attached to the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine and Iodine combine to form the hormones T4 and T3, which are then released into circulation. Promoting thyroid health means eating a lot of raw fruits and vegetables - the more raw the better for minerals, vitamins, and enzymes they contain.
Natural remedies to Hypothyroidism that can be added to your diet include selenium (tuna, turkey, brazil nuts, grass-fed beef), Vitamin B (peas/beans, asparagus, tuna, cheese, milk, and eggs), and probiotics/fermented foods (yogurt, kombucha, kefir, some cheeses) in addition to possibly adapting to a sugar-free and gluten-free diet.

The Friday before Memorial Day is known as "Don't Fry Day" 🧢🕶️☀️⛱️🧴This day is to raise awareness for skin cancer and encourage sun safety awareness by reminding everyone to protect their skin while enjoying time spent outside. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the US, but it is also one of the easiest cancers to prevent and find early. Anyone of any skin tone can get skin cancer and it is caused mostly by UV radiation from the sun.

Ways to be safe in the sun include:
- Limiting time in the sun, especially between 10 am and 4 pm
- Using a broad spectrum sunscreen of 30+ all year around & reapply 2 hours after swimming or sweating
- Wearing protective clothing, sunglasses, and hat and avoid tanning beds and sun lamps

ABCDEs of skin cancer (Check your skin!) - know what moles/spots look like on your skin and report any changes to a doctor!
A - asymmetry: one half of mole doesn’t match the other half
B - border irregularity: the mole has irregular, notched, or blurred edges
C - color variations: the mole has multiple colors or shades, such as brown, black, or blue or even possibly red, white, or gray
D - diameter: the mole is larger than 6 millimeters
E - evolution: mole is changing in size, shape, color, elevation or experiencing new symptoms

May is Arthritis Awareness Month 💜🎗️💙
People with arthritis are usually low in B12, folate and B vitamins found in B-complex vitamins. Folate comes from leafy green vegetables and B12 from red meat or Vitamin B12 supplement.
Arthritis sufferers might want to eat more fish for Omega 3 to relieve symptoms of swollen and sore joints. To avoid mercury, only eat salmon and other deep water fish. If you need a supplement, buy a good brand of Omega 3 like Nordic- flax oil also has all the benefits of Omega 3 without the toxins. People with arthritis could also be deficient in magnesium, which allows calcium to build up in the joints.
