SPRING IS HERE
Are you ready to spring into Spring – or does this time of year mean a head full of allergies and feeling exhausted?
YOU DON’T NEED TO SUFFER
When dealing with any health challenge, the most important thing to know is that your body is designed to be healthy.
If Spring means sneezing, itchy eyes, rashes, clogged sinuses, and headaches, you need to transform your gut health and reduce inflammation.
It’s time for a good Spring Clean!
SPRING CLEANING ON THE INSIDE
There’s a strong link between allergies and inflammation.
For anyone who suffers from allergies, a good place to start your inner Spring clean is by drinking a glass of lemon water with aloe vera juice, first thing every morning before breakfast.
Lemon & Aloe Vera Juice is a simple recipe that helps calm inflammation, promotes better gut health, and supports your immune system.
SPRING CLEANING YOUR DIET
Cleaning out your pantry and what you’re eating is the next best place to start transforming your health this Spring.
Allergies are an immune response, and there’s a direct link between your diet, gut health, intestinal bacteria, and seasonal allergies.
Probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids can significantly improve seasonal allergy symptoms. And what you eat makes all the difference too.
ARE YOU EATING RIGHT?
Nutrients are chemical compounds in food that are used by your cells to create energy so your body functions effectively and you maintain health. They include proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
Poor nutrition occurs when your diet does not contain the right amount of nutrients.
Not eating the right foods is a major cause of illness, fatigue, and chronic non-communicable diseases – including allergies, depression, obesity, malnutrition, insulin resistance, heart disease, stroke, cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Healthy nutrition is essential for maintaining every function of your body.
If you want to live a healthy, allergy-free life, eat nutritious foods and restore any deficiencies.
