With flu and cold season coming up and coronavirus still spreading in the U.S., it’s important to take steps to keep yourself  healthy . Keeping yourself well is certainly better than trying to get well again once you’re sick. In this blog, we’ll go over tips and suggestions to do daily to help ward off sickness. Wash your hands. You cannot wash your hands too much. Also, don’t be in a hurry. Give handwashing the time it deserves to be thorough. The  CDC  recommends washing your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds each time. They also say that hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol-based is acceptable if soap and water is not readily available. Don’t sneeze into your hands.

Switching up your diet can make a huge difference for your overall health. According to the  American Heart Association , a more plant-focused diet can decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a variety of cancers. Meats and dairy products, especially cheeses and processed or deli meats, can be filled with unnecessary saturated fats. Consuming these foods on a regular basis puts your health at risk. Studies also show that those who typically eat animal products have a harder time getting back into the gym following a workout. Conversely, individuals who eat plant-based diet can recover from workouts at a quicker rate. This is largely because most animal products cause the body to become  inflamed  while most whole foods and plants do not. This information may be unsettling, since many Americans adhere to the traditional western diet of meat at nearly every meal. After all, without meat and other animal products, where would yo...

Prolozone  is a combination of homeopathic, nutrient, and oxygen injection that utilizes the power of oxygen to help the regeneration of damaged tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons. The solution contains a mixture of B-vitamins, proliferates, and anti-inflammatory medication that is added to ozone/oxygen gas.  Prolozone  differs from other pain injectables, such as Cortisone Steroid Shots. Many patients who receive Cortisone or other steroid shots face side effects, especially with long term usage. Cortisone is a very temporary solution that simply masks the pain versus Prolozone that helps promote healing. Being that there are no side effects and it is a low-risk treatment, Prolozone can be used as a permanent fix to underlying causes of pain instead of just a mask. Patients who are facing a condition related to pain are some of the most benefited from  Prolozone Injection Therapy . Conditions like chronic neck and back pain, arthritis, degenerating disks, carpa...

Food is your body’s fuel, giving your cells the energy to sustain your 11 major organ systems. When cancer therapy enters the scene, your body goes into overdrive as it battles invading cells. That’s why most cancer therapies, though designed to help and heal, make you tired in the process. Your body is fighting the good fight, and it doesn’t want to give up. With the right nutrition, you can dramatically improve your body’s response to cancer treatment–and feel better in the process. You and your team of health professionals have worked hard to target your cancer with the most effective treatment. Why not have your diet take aim as well? Water First and foremost, stay hydrated. Cancer treatments often cause patients to lose fluids through vomiting or diarrhea. Dehydration throws the body out of balance, making treatments less effective as you continue to feel worse. It’s important to prevent that cycle by drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses of liquid each day. Remember, if...

Some say that Vitamin C is one of the most important vitamins to add supplementally to your body. It is one of the safest and most effective nutrients, and helps your body fight again eye disease, skin wrinkling, cardiovascular issues, and helps boost the immune system. Despite all of these benefits, the body can not produce its own vitamin c meaning it is that much more important to take it as a vitamin. Being a strong antioxidant is one of the most common reasons people take a vitamin c supplement. Antioxidants are molecules that help boost the immune system by protecting cells from harmful molecules like free radicals. Vitamin C has been recorded to boost your blood's antioxidant levels by up to 30%. That's a big difference when fighting illnesses and inflammation. A lesser-known benefit is the ability to help lower blood pressure. Nearly 1/3rd of American adults experience high blood pressure. By adding a vitamin c supplement you help the blood vessels around your ...

Even patients already receiving chemo can experience the benefits of alternative cancer therapies by combining them with their existing treatment.
