As a teenager, I had fairly average skin. Sensitive skin that couldn’t tolerate nickel in anything, but still fairly average. I was susceptible to the occasional acne breakout but overall, my skin was okay. But then, my Junior year of high school, something changed. It started with a red patch on the inside of my elbows. An itchy patch that I tried to leave alone, but just couldn’t. Then that same irritating patch appeared on the backs of my knees. Still, no big deal. I dealt with it because that’s what I had to do. It wasn’t until my Senior year of high school, after dealing with the occasional disappearance and reappearance of the red patches, that it spread to my neck. Before I could…

But in spite of such early awareness, many people fail to maintain good dental health through their adult life. Good dental health comprises brushing and flossing your teeth every day, and regular visits to a dentist or dental hygienist as well. But, did you know that it doesn’t take harsh chemicals to keep your teeth and gums healthy? This has been a struggle for our family as we…

As a child, I want to say that I had a pretty good immune system. As an adult, that hasn’t changed too much. Sure, I’m the victim of seasonal allergies, I have sensitive skin, and I’m lactose intolerant… but, I don’t get sick too often. When I do get sick, usually it doesn’t last too long though there have been some colds that really threw me for a loop. I try not to reach for medicine because I feel that it’s suppressing my immune system rather than working with it. And that’s why I’ve started looking for natural ways to boost my immune system. Having a good immune system can help you avoid contracting many illnesses and common colds, or at least make them last…

Have you ever had a migraine? For me they can be pretty disabling if I don’t catch them quickly. As soon as I start seeing auras around everything, I know that I need to do something and quickly or my migraine will escalate to the point where I’ll have difficulty doing anything to treat it. Because of our lifestyle changes, I’ve started looking into more natural treatments and home remedies. Some I was already aware of, and others I’ll start incorporating. One of those things that I’ve looked into are natural ways to treat migraines. Headaches are comprised of two major categories, primary and secondary. Headaches belonging to the primary group are not caused by underlying medical conditions while secondary headaches are the result of…

Key Fitness Tips for Women

Fitness for women is different than fitness for men. Hence why I talk about health and wellness for moms and not so much for dads. A lot of that has to do with genetics, body structure, etc. but there is a definite difference. That’s not to say that there aren’t universal fitness tips out there, but as women, we do need to be mindful. Likewise, what works for one woman isn’t always going to work for every woman. Me, for example, I’m not the most coordinated person out there and I’m not a huge fan of running. I do, however, enjoy Pilates, swimming, walking, hiking, and a few other things. My mom loves bike riding while I’m lucky if I can stay on the bike…

Whether it’s through an article we’ve read, advice from a doctor, or from family members; we know that we should stay hydrated. This is particularly important during the summer months. But is staying hydrated really that necessary? Well, yes- actually it is. The human body can go longer without food than it can without water. That right there tells me that staying hydrated is important. And today, we’re going to talk about the importance of staying hydrated and why it really does matter. I’ve never been one to always take my own advice. Even when it came to important things like getting enough water every day or at least making sure that I was monitoring my fluid intake. I’ve gotten better with this habit as…
