Radio Naturopath Episode 333: New Year's REST, Then Start On Nutrition and Fitness Goals

we talked about how to deal with the cold weather this year! This week’s discussion turned to healthy habits for the new year, mostly diet and exercise. We also talked about the benefits of taking it easy the first two weeks of the year, since we tend to be overwhelmed from the rush of the holidays and the glut of holiday food and drink. I suggested taking a couple of weeks of no pressure, rest, and once you're feeling like you can't sit still, THAT'S the time to start planning and even implementing healthy habits! For some, that's going to mean getting lots of rest the first two weeks of the year, then starting planning the third week, and getting started in earnest in February. The darkest, coldest time of the year tends to happen in early January, at least in Connecticut. This is a good time to acclimate to the cold weather! We also talked about how to get started on an exercise program. The answer: do what you'll do, and start slowly!

Because it's another major snow day, I talked about how to stay warm naturally in the winter, from foods to eat to what to wear to hydrotherapy!

And I talked about fatty liver, an unfortunately common malady with excess consumption of starchy and sugary foods. It can be helped by diet and exercise!

Radio Naturopath Episode 202: Eat and Dress For the Cold, New Testing and Treatment for Cholesterol

We've got the Polar Vortex, so I remind you to get out the fleece, wool, shearling (can be cotton or synthetic! WISH IT WAS HEMP) Cover up and wear those thermal shirts! I can't live without them. Also, some great things to eat and drink, like soup, spicy, and Mexican hot cocoa! That's cocoa with added cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne. I like mine with turmeric too!

I also did a review on cholesterol! What it is, what it does, and some neat new tests that go beyond just what the volume of cholesterol is in your blood.
