Staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking water; consuming water-rich foods is also vital. Fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, and strawberries contain high water content, which helps maintain hydration. These foods not only provide fluids but also essential vitamins and minerals that support overall health. Incorporating salads, smoothies, and soups into your diet can further enhance hydration levels. Foods with high water content can be especially beneficial in hot weather or during physical activity, ensuring the body remains adequately hydrated without the need to constantly drink fluids. This approach supports digestive health and overall well-being.

Are You A Mosquito Magnet?
Did you ever wonder why some people are mosquito magnets, while others are hardly bothered? One theory is based on the fact that your skin is a source of elimination. Eat too much garlic, and it will literally come through your pores. If sugars are not metabolized properly, the byproducts must be eliminated, and one of those pathways is the skin. It is believed that mosquitos are attracted to the excess metabolized sugar. Vitamin B1 is known to help the body burn sugars more efficiently, thereby reducing excess sugar coming out of the pores, and your skin from attracting mosquitos. Nutritional testing can reveal if you are lacking B1 and other essential nutrients that are making you a mosquito magnet.
It’s Your Turn to Quit Smoking
Laser Therapy is an accu-pressure point therapy similar to acupuncture but without the dreaded needles. It is a modernized natural approach to help heal the body without the use of drugs. The entire procedure is external, and the laser treatment conducts low energy to accu-pressure points to your ears, face, hands, arm, legs, and feet. The first hurdle in quitting smoking is to get through the nicotine withdrawal phase, which people often dread. The laser treatments significantly reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, so people generally sail through this phase with greater ease and break their nicotine addiction.
