This year, staying healthy has been on everyone’s mind. But what can you do to help your body fight infections?
As it turns out, there are plenty of simple, everyday actions you can take to strengthen your immune system. Unsurprisingly, most of these behaviours are habits that doctors frequently suggest to boost your overall health and well-being. So it makes sense, right?
These days we need every advantage possible to keep energy up, moods balanced, and the immune system strong. One simple recommendation to maintain health and vitality is to keep blood sugar stable throughout the day. In my naturopathic practice, I have seen considerable shifts in health when this need is recognized and made a priority.
With summer in full swing, we all want to soak up as much great weather as we can. Why not take advantage of everything the season has to offer by taking your fitness goals outdoors too?
If you want to exercise outside, but aren’t sure where to start, here are a few ideas to get you started.
You have probably spotted matcha popping up everywhere lately, from the menu at your local coffee shop to your favourite frozen desserts.
But what is matcha exactly? And what are the benefits?
Matcha is a variety of green tea, but it is grown differently. The leaves are covered for 20 – 30 days before harvesting, which boosts the plant’s chlorophyll and gives it that distinctive electric green colour. The resulting tea leaves are chock full of nutrients—and flavour.
We all know that we need to be getting more exercise, but it’s not always easy to fit it in. On hectic days, there often isn’t time to add a complete workout that includes strength training and cardio. The good news? There are plenty of ways to integrate activity naturally into your day—without changing into workout gear and heading to the gym.
