Hypothyroidism

Do you feel tired and cold? You may have Hypothyroidism. Also called underactive thyroid or low thyroid, Hypothyroidism is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It can cause a number of symptoms, such as poor ability to tolerate cold, a feeling of tiredness, constipation, depression, and weight gain. Bioresonance therapy may rebuild your energy level by stimulating the white blood cells to produce more energy. This is done by sending healthy frequencies into your body. Bioresonance therapy is completely painless and non-invasive.

Benefits of Blue Light-Blocking Glasses

Exposure to artificial light at the wrong times of day is one of the largest often-overlooked health risks of living in the 21st century. Blocking blue light serves an important biological purpose, helping to regulate your internal clock to control sleep patterns and other body functions; avoiding blue light at night is crucial to protecting your health. One of the least expensive and simplest ways to protect your body’s internal rhythm, and thereby support healthy sleep and a lowered risk of many chronic diseases, is to wear blue-light-blocking glasses at night.

The Painless Facelift

A microcurrent facial is often referred to as a “natural” facelift. This safe and painless facial helps erase fine lines and wrinkles, while firming your skin and defining your features. A microcurrent facial emits extremely low-voltage electrical currents (hence, ‘micro’ current), which mirror your own body’s electrical currents, on a cellular level to repair damaged skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Cosmetic microcurrent is beneficial for improvement in the appearance of aged and slackened skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, dark circles and puffiness, enlarged pores, and muscle tone.

Avoid Winter Back Pain

Here are a few tips on how to keep your body free of pain this winter. 1. Check your shoes. Has the tread started to wear down? Falls on ice and snow can be prevented with the right footwear. 2. Stretch. Stiff muscles can make it hard to move freely, and if you trip or fall, your back is likely to be in far more pain than it is now. 3. Stay warm. This is critical to keeping your back healthy—or keeping your back injury from getting worse. Cold weather is one of the causes of joint pain and tense muscles.

10 Things that Happen When You Quit Smoking

According to Cancer.org, after only 8 hours of your last cigarette, the oxygen levels in your blood increase. After 12 hours, your carbon monoxide blood levels drop to normal. After 2 days of not smoking, you’ll have heightened senses of smell and taste. 3 days later, your bronchial tubes relax and breathing may feel less labored than before. During the first 9 months smoke free, your shortness of breath will improve, and the tiny cilia hairs in your lungs will regain function, allowing your body to clean your lungs. After 1 full year, your risk of heart disease is about half compared with a smoker. After 15 years of being smoke-free, your risk of a heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked.

Stress and Lower Back Pain

Health statistics have shown that 80% of the population will experience lower back pain at some point in their life. Often this is re-occurring and at times may be debilitating. Many factors lead to lower back pain, but the most common one is emotional stress. In most cases, lower back pain occurs during or after a stressful event or emotional stress. It is important to note that all emotions are physical and that lower back pain is telling you to change something in your life. If the spinal system is flexible and well adjusted, lower back pain due to stress is usually eliminated.

Stressed Out? Try a Float!

Float tubs provide a place where one can relax, recover, and remove themselves from their busy and stressful lives. Once settled on the surface of the float tub and the lights go out, (optional) the outside world disappears. No sight, no sound, and no sensation while you are suspended in perfect harmony. Your body/mind instantly begin to slow down as you reach Theta state (deep meditative state), breathing rate decreases, blood pressure decreases, and stress hormones all naturally decrease (cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine). The decrease of stress hormones is because your sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) is allowed to finally turn off (which is very rare).

Medication: Take with Questions!

Medication mix-ups can and do happen. Asking questions is a powerful action that can improve medication safety. It’s easy for even the average person to lose track of what they are taking and how often they are taking it. Ask your pharmacist and other members of your healthcare team about your medications. Be sure to ask questions every time a new medication is prescribed, given, or purchased. And finally, ask questions in the hospital, at the pharmacy, and during healthcare appointments. Questions save lives; it’s safe to ask.
