Vitamin E
In my personal opinion one of the vitamins that Americans are deficient in is vitamin E. One of the reasons people are deficient in vitamin E is because it is only found in small amounts in food.
Some of the benefits of taking vitamin E are increased blood flow, increased circulation, helps get oxygen into your cells, and works as a natural blood thinner.
As always I feel that the best source of vitamin E is a whole food supplement. The best whole food source of vitamin E is rice bran oil, or wheat germ oil.
Another way to get your vitamin E is to go to your health food store, and ask for full spectrum vitamin E. Avoid “dry” versions of vitamin E, because vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin, so it is not easily absorbed this way.

Healthy Vitamin D from the sun
There has been a lot of talk about vitamin D, as a way to prevent health problems. But did you know that the number one source of vitamin D is from the sun.
There are many health benefits from daily sun exposure. Some of them are improved sleeping habits, improved depression, improved digestion, and less colds and flu’s.
If you are new to getting sun exposure there are some rules you should follow. Start off slow, depending on your skin complexion. Start in the spring time, and build up your time in the sun.
This way you will not get sunburn, and remember if you use sunscreen you will be blocking your vitamin D absorption. Wear light colored clothes to the beach, and bring something to cover up in case you start to burn.
If you live north of Los Angles, you will not be able to benefit from the suns health benefits from November to March। During this time you can supplement shiitake mushrooms, or cod liver oil. This way you can keep up with your vitamin D all winter.

Preventive Medicine
I have talked before about addressing the cause of your pain. If you have pain or tingling in a part. There is dysfunction at the neuromuscular level. Massage therapy can address this, however massage can prevent this dysfunction from happening in the first place.
Chiropractic, massage therapy, nutrition, exercise, and meditation, are all a part of preventive medicine. I believe that the best and most affordable approach to healthcare reform is to invest in preventing health problems before they occur.
A once a month Chiropractic adjustment, and deep tissue massage is a first line of defense against developing chronic pain. A maintenance program like this should be a part of everyone preventive health care plan.

Hot Peppers are a true spice of life
There is no question that hot peppers can spice up any diet or meal. However there is great holistic value to hot peppers. They are packed full of vitamin A and C.
Many people including Don Imus use capsaicin from hot peppers as a part of a holistic approach to treating cancer. However the benefits dont end here.
People have been using capsaicin creams for years to treat pain from arthritis, and other conditions. Even more benefits include the fact that hot peppers seem to speed up someones metabolism, when eaten as a part of a meal. They also may even reduce appetite.
I personally use cayenne peppers as a natural pesticide, as it keeps many bugs out of my garden। With all of the great benefits maybe everyone should consider having some hot peppers as a part of their garden next spring.

Image change for massage therapy
When you think of massage therapy what image comes to mind? A relaxing spa on a cruise ship or casino? While this may be true, Massage therapy has gone through an image change over the last 25 years.
Massage therapy has become a part of the health care community. The two most common reasons why people seek massage therapy are stress releif and chronic pain.
The reason clients keep coming back is because massage therapy addresses the cause of these issues. Factors that are contributing to this image change, are standards and regulations such as post graduate education, a code of ethics, and a license for therapists that pass a national boards exam.
Even some health insurance companies are choosing to include massage therapy in their coverage plans. However you don’t need to have chronic pain to benefit from massage therapy.
A once or twice a month maintenance plan will help prevent injuries, and chronic pain from occurring in the first place. It is fair to consider massage as an overall maintenance plan for your health

Rebounding is a great form of exercise
We all know that there are many great forms of exercise to choose from. If you belong to a gym you probably will not be able to find a rebounder there.
But they should consider providing them for their members. A rebounder is a minature trampoline. Just 20 minutes of jumping on a rebounder per day,will move more lymphatic fluid than a half hour walk, or even an hour massage!
The reason rebounding is such a great form of exercise is because it stimulates every cell including all organs and glands…. boosting the immune system.
It will increase the amount of oxygen in your tissue including muscles, bones, organs, and glands. After your first week you will also notice a large increase in energy!!
