Rev Up Your Immune System

Filed Under: Announcements & News at 5:49 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor
Oranges

Winter is quickly approaching and, once again, it’s time to fortify your immune system.

Boosting immunity is easy and simple. We all know the importance a healthy diet loaded with vitamin C to maintain a strong immune system. Adequate indoor temperature is also important to stay healthy. Make sure heaters are set between 65-70 degrees, not too hot, not too cold. Drastic temperature changes are often responsible for colds, sneezing and runny nose.

Natural supplements are one of the safest approaches for immune support and overall health. Immune support formulas provide plenty of vitamins, including high doses of vitamin C, as well as zinc and herbal combinations including ingredients such as Echinacea and Elderberry, known for keeping the immune system at peak performance.

Vitamin C supplements are still the number one product for immunity but a glass of orange juice every morning can help. Take advantage of seasonal fresh produce. Tangerines, mandarin oranges, grapefruit and kiwifruit are all good sources of vitamin C. Don’t like citrus? No problem, mushrooms may help.

Mushroom extracts have become a very efficient natural alternative to enhance the immune system. Most products offer a blend of mushrooms such as shiitake and maitake, clinically tested to ensure results. If you have tried these products in past winters and did not like the results, probotics may be the solution.

Probiotic is known as the “good bacteria” and can build up the immune system, preventing fever, cough and colds. It can significantly reduce the duration of fever and is highly recommended during antibiotic use.

Don’t wait any longer. Start building up a strong immune system right now and be ready when the real winter arrives.

Blog Action Day: Climate Change

Filed Under: Announcements & News at 12:00 pm | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor

Planet Earth

Today is Blog Action Day. Thousands of bloggers will unite to discuss a single issue. This year’s topic is climate change. We aim to raise awareness, initiate action and to shake the web!

Climate change is one of the world’s biggest concerns. Global warming has been one of the most controversial topics in recent years.

We all live in the same planet, breathe the same air and use the same water. We share the same environment but are divided in different space limitations called countries. Many problems often arise when world leaders representing their nations need to debate the best way to address the issue of global warming in order to protect the planet we live in.

The approach to “protect our planet” has different views in a variety of countries. Some countries have political conflicts, which may prevent them from emphasizing on environmental issues. Some other countries, however, have economic difficulties and, despite a strong will to develop programs, struggle to accomplish their goals.

In recent years, the record number of natural disasters is a clear indication of the problems caused by global warming and that our planet Earth is reacting to the way we live. Record number of hurricanes and typhoons, flood rains, endless droughts and record high temperatures are just a few examples.

The changes of climate affect one of the foundations of the human being: the agriculture. The food industry has taken a severe hit from recent climate changes. Poor harvests result in smaller productions of foods, struggling business, unavailable products and unemployment, among other related issues.

Farmers often rely on the weather to accomplish their goals and many farms are extremely dependable on seasonable weather for a productive harvest. The food industry is essential to any society and obviously should be considered a priority for every country. Small harvests will result in less food and future generations could be facing a severe problem. With the world’s population rapidly increasing, food production may not fulfill the demand. Moreover, it has an immediate impact on the economy as smaller harvests generally result in price increases, making food unaffordable due to higher prices. This important issue could increase starvation, already a major problem in many countries.

In addition, inconsistent harvests will affect the supplement industry as multiple products use natural ingredients. Herbal supplements could vanish from stores and may be unavailable for a long period of time, severely affecting people who rely on them.

Some people may think this topic is very complex and nothing can be done because of the magnitude of the issue. Global warming is caused by increasing concentration of greenhouse gases, results of human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.

However, every small action can help to “save our planet”. Try to recycle, use water properly, minimize the unnecessary use of vehicles and save energy; just a few simple examples to protect our world. If every person can reduce their daily damages to our planet, we can minimize this problem and create a better place for future generations.

This blog is part of Blog Action Day 09: Climate Change.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Filed Under: Announcements & News at 10:27 am | By: Mauricio Matusiak, Senior Editor
Pink for October

October is the National Breast Cancer Awareness month and Lucky Vitamin is your source for health awareness and prevention.

Lucky is offering 5% off your purchase of breast health products during October. Just enter the promotion code BRH2009 at checkout for an additional discount on qualifying products.

A pink ribbon is the international symbol for breast cancer awareness and is worn to recognize the struggle that sufferers face when battling with the cancer as well as to express support for women and men who are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Worldwide, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung cancer, and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. Breast cancer is about 100 times as frequent among women as among men, but survival rates are equal in both sexes.

Breast cancer starts in the breast, usually in the inner lining of the milk ducts or lobules. There are different types of breast cancer, with different stages, aggressiveness, and genetic makeup. Treatment includes surgery, drugs (hormone therapy and chemotherapy), and radiation. However, prevention is still the best action.

Cancer prevention is action taken to lower the chance of getting cancer. By preventing cancer, the number of new cases is lowered, lowering the number of deaths caused by cancer as well. Anything that increases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer risk factor. Some risk factors for cancer can be avoided such as smoking. Changing your lifestyle, with regular exercise and a healthy diet, may be a protective factor for some types of cancer.

Avoiding risk factors and increasing protective factors may help prevent cancer. Click here for more information on risk factors and protective factors.
