When you go to the supermarket, you inevitably stroll down the Snack isle; Perhaps looking for a Healthy Snack, such as a baked potato chip or one cooked in sunflower oil. The snacks are for ourselves, or perhaps our families, but the bottom line is we want a snack that tastes good.

While occasionally eating chips isn’t so bad, frequently eating fried and oily snacks can be bad for our entire body, potentially harming our skin care, weight, and general health. For those who are in search of a healthy alternative to snacks, please let me suggest the original snack, Fruit. If you eat fruit, you will eat a flavorful snack that is loaded with vitamins and contains NO oil.

Eating more fruit is important for anybody, but especially those with children. If you always give your children fruit as a snack, it will be normal and they will benefit from it for the rest of their lives.

For those who already eat fruit, please leave your comments about your favorites, and for those who are new to fruit, today is a good day to start. Living in the US for most of my life, and now living in Thailand for the past 4 years, I have tried a variety of fruits, and overall I would say Clementines are the my favorite fruit. They are easy to peel (even your kids can peel them by themselves), no seeds, and they taste GREAT. Its about that time of the year too, so keep an eye out for them. You and your kids will love them. Honorable mention to Peaches, Pineapple and Pomelos (south east asia fruit, very similar to grapefruits but no bitter after taste).

If you Eat Fruit you will help to keep a higher level of general health, help your digestion, help to maintain proper weight, keep or regain low cholesterol, strengthen your immune system, and a list of other benefits.

It’s your chance to see, hear, smell, taste and get your hands on everything new in the natural, organic and healthy products industry. ”

If you have been there before then you know what its all about. If you have never seen the sites of the the Natural Products Expo, it truly is an experience. I have been fortunate enough to visit the show both in Baltimore, as well as the few years it was in Washington DC. Suppliers from all facets of Natural Products come to showcase their company, and new products.

It will be in Baltimore again this year, from September 27 - 29th, in the Baltimore Convention Center which is large, and will be packed with suppliers, buyer, brokers, retailers, and onlookers, each of which will be busy filling up their freebie bags with the endless rows of samples that will be given away. Some of the most memorable samples in the past, other than all of the food, would have to be the chewable tooth brushes, vitamin C gum, aura readers, and most of all free back massages (honestly, I am not sure what that company was selling).

For all who are going, Enjoy !! For those who do not yet have plans to be there, do what you can to change whatever plans you may have and get there, you will not be sorry.

Keep an eye out for the all natural food products company Health Is Wealth Products Inc. who will not only have their own new products to showcase, but will also have Sabaidi Tea bags to show to brokers, retailers, and all those who are interested in selling them.

Remember, HEALTH IS WEALTH…You can go check them out and not only will you get some good food from Health is Wealth, but might also get Sabaidi Tea Samples.

Anybody who has had to deal with pain caused by constipation will agree that it is a highly uncomfortable feeling that effects you throughout the day. In severe cases, the pain can become acute. Constipation can occur to anyone, from newborns, to the elderly, and everywhere in between.

While there are medicines available that will help quickly cure the gas, bloating, and pain of constipation, these medicines can also be unpredictable and cause a new set of problems that may leave you stuck with in arms distance of a bathroom.

Like with many other physical ailments, it can be argued that the best offense is a good defense; and by that I mean trying to prevent constipation from ever occurring.

For good health in general watching the foods you eat is a good idea, but this natural remedy is not about what you eat, but what you drink. Drinking adequate amounts of water are a key factor to help prevent constipation.

Water, Juice (Prune juice is an ideal choice), and Tea can all help. Coffee can help in certain cases as the caffeine gives you body a jolt that often times will be solution, though coffee can also leave your body dehydrated. Soda is a bad idea to drink in general, let along when trying to prevent constipation. The gas of any carbonated beverage will only add to the problem.

I have talked with many who do not like to drink water, and rightfully claim that Juice has a lot of unwanted sugars. Tea is a very good idea in this case. There are many types of tea to drink, though I personally recommend Lemongrass tea when trying to prevent constipation. It tastes like lemons, it aides your digestion, you can drink it hot as well as iced (using little to no sugar depending on how you like it), and it is highly refreshing. You can make a pitcher with 1 or 2 tea bags, which will last for 2 or 3 days, maybe even longer. Most importantly, the added hydration will help you body’s digestive system run smoothly, helping to prevent constipation.

We all have different lifestyles, different amounts of stress, and different forms of stress that effect us everyday. With everything that we personally encounter day after day, our nutritional supplements need to be specifically targeted to our unique lifestyle. And while you want to take supplements that will help, anything extra could be potentially harmful. With that in mind, here is a list by Heather Hurlock of Best Life, of specific lifestyles and the best supplements for each. If you feel you fit into one of these categories, ask your doctor if the supplement suggested is best for you.

Obesity: Vitamin D gets caught up in fat tissue and doesn’t circulate, which means you might need more to compensate.

Distance Runner: Because you burn so much fuel, there is rapid elimination of vitamin C, an important nutrient for runners because it helps repair muscle and prevent muscle breakdown. Don’t take more than 500 mg a day.

Family History of Alzheimer’s Disease: Plant sterols and stanols reduce cholesterol, which has been found to accelerate the formation of the plaques that are associated with dementia.

High Blood Pressure: Coenzyme Q10 improves blood flow and should be considered even by healthy men who have a family history of high blood pressure.

Strength Trainer or Weight Lifter:L-carnitine helps shuttle fatty acids within mitochondria, the part of the cell that produces energy and builds muscle.

Recovering Alcoholics:B complex vitamins (b1, b2, b6, b12, and folic acid) are the first to become deficient in alcoholics.

Risk of Heart Attacks: Niacin increases good cholesterol and reduces heart-disease risk better than most drugs.

Recovering From a Heart Attack: One gram of omega-3 daily reduces the risk of sudden cardiac death. This has recently become an American Heart Associated standard treatment.

Family History of Early Vision Loss: Lutein protects the eyes from damage.

Smoker: Vitamin E is rapidly depleted by smoking, and continues to be deficient for up to five years after quitting.

Erectile Dysfunction: Red yeast rice extract is a natural form of statin that can increase blood flow.

Tip 1: Exercise – Be Tired

It sounds simple, but being tired when you go to sleep is a great way to fall asleep. Having too much energy, or being “wound up” before you sleep is a popular cause of insomnia and sleep orders. If you do not have time to really exercise, simplify your exercise routine. After you eat dinner, take a walk around the block. 20 minutes of walking after dinner will not only help you to fully digest your food (which will also help you to sleep and lose weight), but you will burn extra calories, which is energy, as well as help to reduce the your stress level. In addition to sleeping, there are several benefits to walking and exercise. If you have a family, Walking or Exercise can be a good family activity. Badminton, Wiffle Ball, and Frisbee are great after dinner family activities that will not only allow you to spend quality time with your family, but also get your whole family to exercise.

Tip 2: Hypnotize Yourself - use a Mantra

This sleeping tip might seem like a little hocus pocus for some, but it really works. A lot of times when people try to sleep, their mind is racing as they think about a million things. I know this has been a major problem for me as I would try to fall asleep and I would think about what I will do tomorrow, what i did that day, yesterday, 10 years ago, etc…and I just can’t fall asleep. Its frustrating to say the least to have all these thoughts going through your head. How do you get rid of them ? Redirect your energy. Focus your thoughts onto one mantra, or phrase that you slowly repeat. If your mind tries to think of something else, just think of your mantra, over and over again, slowly. You may have to force it at first. Any positive affirmation will work, and may have a side benefit for those who believe in positive affirmations. For those who like to remember their dreams, say “I will remember my dreams” slow and drawn out over and over again until you are asleep.

3. Herbalize

Again, Hocus Pocus, I know that is what you are thinking. Herbal Remedies are more beneficial than you think. Herbs come in many forms and many varieties. Perhaps most common are Herbal Teas. Herbal teas are all caffeine free, and while they can naturally refresh you in the afternoon, they can also calm you down at night. Because tea is hot, you are forced to drink slowly. Step 1 towards slowing down your system. Through both aroma and nature, many herbal teas have the ability to soothe your senses, calming down your stress levels, Step 2. Some herbal teas such as Lemongrass can also help you digest your food, helping you to feel light and relaxed. In addition to teas, herbs come in a variety of supplements. The supplements contain a mixture of herbs specially targeted at counter acting insomnia and other sleep disorders. If you live in the USA, you can order a free day trial of Sleep Rite by a company called Essential Living. Another herbal sleep aide is called SNOOZ which is available world wide.

Overall, each of these Sleeping tips will individually allow you have sleep better. If one alone doesn’t work for you, try using all three together which is a near guarantee. Not only will they allow you better sleep at night, but they you will feel better the next day as you will begin to live a more healthy lifestyle.
