Maintaining Optimal Breast Health

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and these tips can help you support optimal breast health every day. 1) Diet and Lifestyle. Avoid plastics and caffeine, due to their phytoestrogenic effect. Increase veggies, fatty fish, herbs, and fibre; decrease meat, refined grains, and conventional vegetable oils. 2) Toxin Removal. Try lymphatic breast massage, sweating through exercise/sauna/etc., and dry skin brushing to remove toxins from fatty breast tissue. 3) Assessment. Thermal imaging is a great assessment tool to monitor for breast changes over time. 4) Hormone Optimization. Get tested for hormone imbalances and thyroid function through blood work or salivary/urinary testing. For more information and to book an appointment, contact us today.

Inflammation: Good, Bad, or Both?

Inflammation is a crucial aspect of the body’s healing process, wherein inflammatory cells journey to injury sites, prompting recovery. Yet, chronic inflammation signs can be elusive – examples include abdominal and chest pain, fatigue, fever, joint discomfort, and stiffness (like in rheumatoid arthritis), as well as mouth sores and skin rashes (as in psoriasis). Turmeric presents a natural solution for pain and inflammation. Notably, curcumin, an extract of turmeric, is renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, effectively alleviating pain, and dampening inflammation. Regarded as one of the most robust botanical anti-inflammatories, Good Habits Market takes pride in offering prime curcumin varieties, available as liposomal soft gels, or liquid.
