Constipation in kids

Are you unhappy with your child's poop? Do they abstain for a few days and then grunt and sweat when in the toilet? This is a sensitive subject for many and mostly being push under the carpet. But lets get that bowel works out in the open today.

Constipation can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms that can last throughout the whole day — including bloating, gas, low back pain, and even anxiety or fatigue.

We see it all to often, most kids eating a white diet. A diet filled with white pasta, white rice, sugar, chicken nuggets, shop juices and little to no vegetables and fiber. Your child is most probably low in fiber. Fiber is needed to help smooth bowl movements, to remove the unwanted stuff out of the body.Vegetables and fruits are loaded with fiber. We need fiber with plenty of water to keep our bowls moving and to remove waste and toxins out of our bodies. For good health our bowls need to work 1-2 times per day.

Flu season is around the corner

Waking up with a scratch in your throat. Halve an hour later you feel body aches starts and you just know the rest of the day wont go well.

A cold or flu starts suddenly, or that is how it feels to us. But actually its a weaken immune system at the time. It could be from little sleep, bad eating, and stress causing it.

Change of season (and temperatures) also tend to wake up flu and cold bugs.

Most of us don't have time to lay in bed for a few days, although the idea sounds promising. But rather look at ways to reduce the time of being sick and getting ourselves (and our immune system) back in 100% function mode.

Strengthen your immune system by means of healthy eating, supplementation, enough sleep, relaxation will go along way to fight of a cold or flu.

Skin condition. Why does it happen and how to deal with it naturally

Acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dermatitis, so called chicken skin, its all different skin conditions. However, the cause of most of these are all similar.

We all feel very self conscious when we see acne arise on our skin or some eczema on our child’s elbow. But why does it happen? We can blame our diet and lifestyle habits for skin problems. Normally a skin problem is the body’s way of telling something is not right inside our body.
