Ring in the Holidays With Healthy Blood Pressure

It’s hard to believe the holidays are here again. I’ve always enjoyed this time of year for the food, friends, and family gatherings that make it special. But for many folks, the holiday season is more stressful than joyful—and that can make it difficult to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fortunately, there are natural ways to keep your blood pressure in a healthy range. Click here to read my top recommendations.

Plant Foods Support Insulin Sensitivity
If it seems like I’m always writing about the benefits of plant foods, it’s because I just can’t emphasize their value enough.

If you want to avoid colds and flu this winter, don’t let your exercise routine fall by the wayside. Regular physical activity doesn’t just aid digestion and elimination, increase energy, burn fat, and enhance mood. It also improves immune function. For optimum benefit, strive to exercise at least four times a week, for at least a half hour each time. To read more tips on immune health, click here.
