Holiday Feasting? Go For It!

If you just can't say "No" to all the holiday feasting that's
going on this season, don't bother. Just go for it. Eat, drink,
and be merry ... just be sure to pack some extra probiotics and
enzymes in your pocket. Having some extra acidophilus, bifidus,
and spectrabiotic (these are all probiotics) and enzymes on board
will ensure that you don't suffer too many "Pepto Bismol" moments
during the next few weeks.

Probiotics (this literally means "for life") are the good
bacteria that live in your gut. These "good bugs" do a lot for
you, including:

1. keeping your digestion going
2. producing B-12 vitamins to keep you calm and happy during the
holidays
3. acting as a first line of defense against illness

Whenever you stress your body (like overeating at the buffet) or
drink too much coffee or chlorinated water, you kill off the
probiotics in your gut. Lack of probiotics means that your body
won't get the benefit of all those actions listed above. You'll
have indigestion, you won't feel calm and collected, and you're
more likely to get sick. So yes, you definitely need to keep
those probiotics healthy and lively in your gut. Taking extra
probiotics during the holidays will keep the population of
beneficial bacteria in your gut at healthy levels. You will feel
healthier and more vibrant!

Enzymes are also key in keeping you healthy and happy during the
holidays. Before you dive headlong into that holiday buffet, take
the time to swallow 2 to 4 enzymes ... then eat. The enzymes will
ensure that all the extra food and rich desserts you eat will be
properly digested, preventing digestive side effects like
bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation.

One simple regimen to follow during the holidays is as follows:

<> 2 to 4 acidophilus in the morning before breakfast
<> 2 to 4 bifidus in the evening before bed
<> 2 to 4 enzymes before each meal
<> 2 to 4 spectrabiotic (the FULL SPECTRUM probiotic) in the
evening when all else fails!

Most of all, enjoy the holidays ... eat, drink, and be merry, and
rest assured that the probiotics and enzymes will keep you merry
and well!

5 Ways to Drink Enough Water

"I know, I know! I should hydrate more!" This is what many people say when confronted by the fact that they would feel better and be healthier if they drank enough water on a daily basis. When you don't get enough water, your body can't detoxify, your mouth and mucous membranes can feel dry, and you can simply feel tired!

Your body is 60% water, so you need to keep it hydrated if you want it to perform well for you. According to the Mayo Clinic, women should drink about 9 cups of fluids per day while men should drink about 13 cups of fluids per day.

Notice that the Mayo Clinic specifies "fluids" rather than water. It is true that your body uses fluids from the food and drink that you intake daily, but be careful what counts toward your fluid intake. Coffee, for instance, is a fluid but it is also a diuretic, which means that it tends to flush fluids from your body. So drinking coffee might actually equal a negative fluid intake.

Water is Best
Pure well or spring water is best to drink if you can. If you can't stand the sensation of chugging 9 cups of water, here are some ideas that might help:

1. Warm the water slightly
2. Add a fresh slice of lemon or lime to enliven the flavor
3. Add a pinch of Celtic sea salt, for taste and for health
4. Add an herbal non-caffeinated teabag for taste
5. Keep the water in sight at all times and take a few sips every time you look at the bottle.

Finally, to keep you on track, consider downloading one of the many free apps for mobile devices that remind you to drink water!

Back Pain: Natural Solutions for Back Support

The American Chiropractic Association has some shocking statistics about back pain. Did you know that:

- 31 million Americans experience back pain at any given moment
- Half of all working Americans state they have back pain
- Back pain is the most common reason for missed work

Yowza ... that's a lot of people in pain! Luckily for people who don't want to pop pain pills to suppress back pain, there are a number of natural solutions that support the back.



What Back Pain Means
Before we dive into some great natural methods you can use to support your back, let's first look at back pain from an emotional or spiritual point of view. According to Louise Hay, back pain can be a signal that we are uncomfortable with life. Pain in the upper, middle, and lower sections of the back each has a separate meaning (from Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life"):

- Lower: Fear of money. Lack of financial support.
- Middle: Guilt. Stuck in all the stuff back there. "Get off my back."
- Upper: Lack of emotional support. Feeling unloved. Holding back love.

You can say the affirmations associated with the affected section of the back as a mantra during the day to support yourself:

- Lower: "I trust the process of life. All I need is always taken care of. I am safe."
- Middle: "I release the past. I am free to move forward with love in my heart."
- Upper: "I love and approve of myself. Life supports and loves me."

Natural Solutions for Back Support
On a physical level, you can also take simple steps to support back health. We list three of the most effective solutions here:

>>> Castor Oil Packs: Apply a section of wool flannel soaked in castor oil and lightly heated. Keep the pack warm with a heating pad, and enjoy the warming heat for 1.5 hours. This Edgar Cayce remedy is a powerful way to restore your back to healthy ease. To do a pack, you will need specific directions. To get these directions, send a blank email to packs@prosperity-abounds.com (if you don't get the email directions within 15 minutes or so, check your spam folder).

>>> Natural Anti-Inflammatories: Two excellent natural anti-inflammatories are Simplexity's Super Sprouts and Algae and Rebound. Taken on a regular basis, either of these natural herbal formulations support back health and reduce inflammation.

>>> Rebuild with Stem Cells: If your back has been injured or damaged in any way, your body can use stem cells (undifferentiated cells that your body can use anywhere in your body) for healing. Simplexity's Stemplex is a natural supplement that stimulates your body to produce more stem cells in a healthy way.

The Good News
Back pain isn't fun, but the good news is that there are natural solutions that really work to support back health. Plus, there are no side effects with these natural solutions, unlike pain pills which have many side effects.

Concerned about Osteoporosis? Natural Solutions for Bone Health

Did you know that osteoporosis affects 35% to 50% of women in the first five years of menopause? Did you also know that osteoporosis also affects men?

Currently, at least 35 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis! Yowza, that's a lot of people who need to watch how they treat their bones, since osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weaker and less dense, making them more likely to break.

Natural Solutions for Bone Support
One of the best natural solutions for bone support comes from the Orient: red yeast rice. There are many strains of red yeast rice, but some forms have proven more effective for increasing bone density and mineral absorption than others. For instance, the strain used in OsteoSun is the most "bone active" form available. OsteoSun enhances the body's natural ability to restore bone mass and is scientifically proven to build new bone.*

So adding OsteoSun to your daily regimen can help support bone health. What else can you do to support your bones? Here are some other simple natural steps:

-    eat foods high in EFAs (essential fatty acids)
-    decrease consumption of red meat and dairy
-    add sea greens and AFA algae to your diet
-    eat foods high in calcium, potassium, and magnesium

You don't have to become a statistic when it comes to osteoporosis. As with most chronic conditions, osteoporosis is easier to prevent than to treat ... so start supporting your bones now! You will appreciate it later!
