There is a lot of consumer confusion about foods and supplements as nutrition. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know which foods are truly healthy and which are not. With so much information available, it can be hard to know who to trust. This is why it is important to find an independent retailer to trust when it comes to finding healthy, natural foods and quality supplements..

Independent retailers have been around for decades, and they have a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to natural foods. They are passionate about health and helping others, and they are not limited by the restrictions that larger stores face when it comes to providing information about health and nutrition.

Reducing carbohydrates and exercising are two of the most important steps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eating too much carbohydrates can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, and other health issues. Exercise is also important for weight management and overall health.

Carbohydrates are found in many foods including bread, pasta, rice, fruits, and vegetables. Eating too many carbohydrates can lead to weight gain, as the body stores the extra carbs as fat. It can also lead to insulin resistance, which is when the body does not respond to insulin properly. This can lead to type 2 diabetes and other health issues.

Udo Erasmus is an expert on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and the founder of Udo’s Oil. He became passionate about the topic when he was poisoned in 1980 and realized that the oils he was consuming were damaged. He decided to create an oil that was made with health in mind, and he spent the next 15 years touring the United States and telling people about the amazing properties of omega-3s. He realized that 99% of the population was not getting enough omega-3s because there were not enough foods that contained them. He also realized that omega-3s were five times more sensitive to damage than omega-6s, so he focused on creating an oil that was made with health in mind.

In this interview Dr. Blair discusses the value of liposome technology for the enhanced delivery of iron supplementation. Iron as a supplement is poorly absorbed and often cause gastric discomfort. Liposomes deliver nutrients in a form that is easy for the body to utilize resulting in better outcomes.

Dr. Blair has been studying liposomes for the absorption of many nutrients. Some of the nutrients like iron are poorly absorbed while nutrients like glutathione are not absorbed orally at all. Liposome nutrients can be absorbed up to 17 times better than conventional forms.

Dr. Blair has developed many liposomes and has numerous clinical studies that reveal the wonderful benefits offered by liposome nutrients. Much better absorption leads to better results. How do we know a supplement works? it is from the clinical research. When researching liposomes, it is possible to compare the blood levels of liposome vs conventional.

I have used many homeopathic remedies over the years. Some of the most effective remedies I have used in our family are for allergies, colds, flu, strains and sprains, headaches. Every year we use the homeopathic formulas called Influenzium for flu prevention and Ocillococcinum for flu symptoms. Topically I use Arnica cream or gel for transient pain and Florasone cream as a topical steroid cream replacement. I love that these are safe treatment and they either work or not. When they work they are very impressive and effective. When they don’t work there are no side effects to worry about. You just have to find the right remedy.
