Natural Cure for Insomnia: Fresh Air

by intriguemedia July 29, 2010

Many people find that fresh air is a great help in getting to sleep. It’s natural in the summer months to open the bedroom windows to let some fresh air in: it’s a relaxing feeling to have a gentle breeze into the room in which you sleep and our natural inclination is to open windows. People often find that their insomnia is seasonally affected. Often, they find it harder to get to sleep during the colder months of the year. Some people put this down to the reduction in the amount of daylight they are subjected to, or perhaps to a mild case of SAD.

Feeling Anxious, Depressed or Tired? It Could Be Vitamin B6 Deficiency

by intriguemedia July 29, 2010

Vitamin B6, also known as Pyridoxine, is a real vitamin powerhouse. Dr. Ellis, of Mount Pleasant, Texas, has studied the vitamin for over 30 years, and rates its importance to the body as highly as that of water or oxygen. Pyridoxine, says Ellis, is vital to giving us sufficient energy and also plays a role in many nerve disorders and psychological problems and psychiatric illnesses. Without Vitamin B6, the red cells in our blood would not regenerate and it is vital to the immune system. Vitamin B6 is particularly useful in staving off cancer of the liver. Our memory relies on neurotransmitters which cannot be produced without Vitamin B6. Glucose intolerance too can be limited with Vitamin B6. As if [...]

Post-menopausal is not a straightforward term in medical parlance. However, it is most often applied to those women who have actually completed the menopausal process rather than those who are still going through the change. As a guide, it can safely refer to a woman who has not menstruated for more than a year. The reasons don’t really matter; menopause can be induced by surgery as well as through nature’s processes. Women on hormone replacement therapy generally are not thought of as post-menopausal because they are likely to experience the start of menopausal symptoms at cessation of treatment. Although the medical term limits this group to women who have completed menopause, problems that are often considered post-menopausal can begin any [...]

Health and Wellness Coach: Get a Professional Mind and Body Clearout

by intriguemedia July 21, 2010

Let’s be honest. Some of us would rather suffer cruel and unusual punishment than walk around the block or eat a piece of fruit. We know that we should quit smoking, and opt for a water instead of a soda, but we just can’t bring ourselves to be concerned with changing. We lack motivation to change because we don’t actually know how to change. Life throws us curve balls, and we aren’t quite sure how to catch them. For this lack of motivation and clarity, hiring a professional to come in and help us begin moving might just be the answer. Let’s look at how hiring a health and wellness trainer can improve our well being as individuals and leaders. [...]
