The winter along with the economic downturn has taken its toll and left many people feeling under the weather, weary and susceptible to infection. There are three very easy steps you can take to give your body a boost in preparation for the Spring.

1. After the cold, snowy winter, when you may have eaten a bit too much comfort food or had just a bit too much alcohol, your filter (liver) could do with a clean and your metabolism is crying out for a boost to help get out of winter mode and lose any excess weight. The first tip is to make your first drink of the day a mug of hot water with a slice of fresh, organic lemon in it. This simple drink helps detoxify and alkalise the body. Keeping your body alkaline has been proven to reduce the risk of inflammatory disease.

2. Clean your filter (your liver, which weighs in at a whopping 3lb) with a herbal supplement like Mediherb’s LivCo, which contains herbs scientifically proven to safely boost liver function and help the detoxification process. This is such a great formulation that it even has a herb in it, which is scientifically proven to help regenerate liver cells. Very useful, if you drink a lot. Patients, who detoxify their liver in this way, report feeling much more energised afterwards. Give it a try and see the benefits for yourself!

3. Get your head into gear for the Spring. If you are feeling slightly down or anxious, try Mediherb’s St. John’s Wort. It’s proven to be as effective as an anti-depressant but without the side-effects. If stress is making life a bit of a struggle, try Mediherb's Withania Complex to effectively reduce stress levels without making you drowsy and it also supports your adrenal function, which may have suffered if you have had long-term stress. By getting on top of your stress, you will enhance your immune system so are less likely to succomb to infection. 

 

These three easy steps will help maintain good health.  Why wait until you are ill before doing something for your health? Most people are happy to maintain their car yet give little thought to maintaining their body, which cannot be traded in for a new one. Help your body go the distance!
