Website design By BotEap.comIf you don’t want to be stuck using antihistamines all spring, consider some natural therapies. For example, certain allergies are related to certain foods; by eliminating those foods, you can even eliminate hay fever. Cleansing, especially candida, liver or colon, can also be very effective in relieving allergies, as can homeopathic remedies.

Website design By BotEap.comStudies have shown that people who wake up earlier are healthier than night owls who miss out on morning light altogether. Especially after our long winter without light, it will be good for you to take advantage of the morning light and the vitamin D it provides. Vitamin D (when combined with a healthy diet) has been found to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by two-thirds.

Website design By BotEap.comThis has a few different connotations – feel free to explore whatever meaning you give to “dirty” (spring fever, anyone?). However, I mean dirty in the most literal sense. Who here does not remember playing in puddles as a child? Heck, who doesn’t remember EATING mud when he was a kid? Exposure to a little dirt is not only good for your inner child (and your outer children), but exposure to bacteria is important for developing a healthy immune system. So get out there and play in the mud!

Website design By BotEap.comIt’s the season for spring greens! When choosing vegetables, opt for a mix of flavors: mild, sour, hot, and spicy. A good example is a mix of dandelion greens, arugula, escarole, frisée, radicchio, and escarole. Spring greens are great for bone and digestive health as they increase digestive juices and enzymes in the liver, pancreas, and stomach. Eat them before dinner to improve your overall health.

Website design By BotEap.comEven if you don’t know how to meditate, one of the most valuable principles is to live in the present. I realize you have a lot to do, we all do, but stop from time to time and just enjoy all the beauty of your life. Do only what you are doing, be only where you are. Stop multitasking and just be. Plus, research shows that being outdoors can have benefits for both physical and mental health. So breathe everything in and stop worrying about everything, at least for a while.
