Essential Oils have been found to have many benefits and are a great natural approach to a healthier and more natural life.

A well-balanced diet is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Supplements cannot be used as the only means to obtain the nutrients we need for our body. Thinking of food as a means to fuel our body, and of the benefits they provide can help when it comes to deciding what you want to eat for dinner or what to get the next time you go to the grocery store.

Maintaining a Healthy Body Weight

Choosing a healthy well balanced diet helps you maintain a healthy body weight. Keeping your body at a healthy weight can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure. It is also important to stay active, and pair a healthy diet with daily physical activities.

Contributes to a Healthier Heart and Low Blood Sugar

When your diet has a balanced amount of healthy fats and healthy food it helps contribute to a healthier heart. Keeping a healthy amount of fiber in your diet helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Choosing foods that are low in saturated fats and sugars also help contribute to a heart healthy diet, and lower blood sugar.

Gives You Energy

Food is fuel for your body. Choosing the right healthy foods that your body can process, and use for energy will have you feeling like a new person. When we choose to eat foods that are highly processed with lots of sugars, it slows us down and causes inflammation in our body. It is important to choose foods that are high in nutrients and low in additional ingredients that will slow our bodies down, leave us feeling lethargic and bloated, or cause sugar crashes.

Cold and flu season is upon us, and some feel a little unprepared.

New Year, New You… Now What?

We hear many customers talk about their resolutions come the beginning of the year, but when February rolls around, many have already broken them. Part of the reason this is, is because they look to change everything about their lives, but sometimes baby steps is all it takes.

We recommend that you take one of the following to start off with. Make this change and possibly introduce another a few weeks later. Health is not something you can snap your fingers and make happen. It takes a lot more work than deciding to make a resolution, it is a daily commitment and a lifestyle change we are here to support you with every step of the way.

Start with one of these baby steps towards health, and make big changes one choice at a time:

1. Drink more water. We talk a lot about the importance of staying hydrated and eliminating sugary drinks. Substitute a sugary drink in your life with water, eliminate the excess sugar intake while helping you stay more hydrated.
2. Take daily vitamins. We know it is difficult to get in all your appropriate vitamins and nutrients through your diet, so help yourself by taking a daily vitamin and giving your body what it needs.
3. Choose less processed foods and beverages. By eliminating processed foods and beverages, you are introducing less sugars, sodium, and fat to your daily diet. Try and eat whole and organic foods, and ones that you know where they are sourced for the best ingredients.
4. Get some rest. Your body needs rest, and we don’t always give our bodies what they need. If you are struggling with sleeping try out melatonin, or a calming essential oil. If you are unsure on what to take, ask our employees for another supplement for helping you get the rest you need.

Why is Vitamin D Important?

Did you know Vitamin D is produced in your skin as a response to sunlight. It then helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, helping keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy!

Unfortunately, we can not just depend on the sun for our Vitamin D needs. It is very important to to have appropriate amounts of Vitamin D in our system, and at times we may need to add in supplements or eat more Vitamin D rich foods, such as fatty fish. Vitamin D has benefits such as helping our moods, supporting our immune system, and helping fight disease.

Vitamin D may play an important role in helping regulate your mood and may help with warding off depression. If you are commonly struggling with your mood in regards to anxiety and depression, it would be worth getting it checked and seeing if you have a Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D helps enhance the function of your immune system. It is important to give your body an appropriate amount of Vitamin D to help support your immune system against common diseases.

Lastly, Vitamin D may help your body fight off diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. If you have a Vitamin D deficiency beware you may be prone to aches and pains, muscle and bone weakness, or issues with stress fractures.

When we work out, our muscles move and perform in ways above our body’s ability to provide basic nutrition for ourselves. It is important to supplement with vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and other nutrients to help us achieve our best results.

Vitamin C is important as it increases immune system activity and helps break down carbohydrates to use them for energy. It also plays a vital role in collagen production and tissue repair.

Calcium is great for bone strength, helps with processing energy, and helps contracting muscles when working out. Your bones tend to take a lot of stress when working out, so keep them strong with readily absorbed sources like MCHA (Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite) or Calcium Citrate.

B12 is great as it helps provide oxygen to your muscles. It also helps with the production of red blood cells, so it will help your body in building that muscle you want, verse letting it tear itself down.

Protein is an essential part of muscle growth, and is needed for our bodies to develop and maintain muscle mass. Making sure you also have different sources of protein in your diet is important as well so your body can function properly.

How are you protecting your skin from the sun? It's summer time and we all love to spend time outdoors, but it is important to protect your skin from the sun's rays. When protecting your skin, think about how it is the largest organ of the human body, and you should be considering what you put on your skin just as much as what you are putting into your body.

Start off by Wearing Protective Clothing. This is a really easy way to protect your skin from the sun without having to put add excess chemicals. Wearing Appropriate Eyewear

Wear Sunscreen, but not just any sunscreen. Choose something that will keep your skin safe from UV rays, but Choose the Right Sunscreen

Don’t Use Vitamin D as an Excuse- just because we are told we need Vitamin D, doesn't mean overexposure to the sun is the way to go about it. Vitamin D helps your body with the absorption of phosphorus and calcium, and also helps keep your immune system running properly.

If you are looking for a sun sunscreen, or a Vitamin D supplement as any one of our employees the next time you are in No Name Nutrition Market.
