Lower Stress and Keep Your Heart Healthy with 3 Simple Steps #ONatural

February 25, 2016 by Kathryn 14 Comments

Between getting engaged, Valentine’s Day celebrations and starting to plan a wedding, matters of the heart have been very much on my mind this February. And while love and romance are always common themes for the month, February is also a great time to remember to take care of your heart! After all, a strong and healthy heart is one of the best ways to ensure a long life of happiness with your soul-mate.

Stress has long been thought to impact heart health and I know that the coming months will bring more than their fair share of stressful days. In addition to planning our wedding, my fiance and I are also planning a move to a new city in the summer! That’s why I’m making sure that Orange Naturals Heart Health tincture is a part of my daily routine over the next few months. Containing hawthorn, garlic, linden and motherwort, it’s a multi-purpose heart health formula that helps protect the circulatory system, reduce heart disease risk and relieve nervousness!

Help the Men in Your Life Stay Healthy with These 4 Easy Tips #ONatural

June 18, 2015 by Kathryn 40 Comments

My parents separated when I was quite young, and after my dad remarried I didn’t see him very often throughout the year. But one day that my siblings and I always spent with our dad was Father’s Day, and it was always a day we enjoyed. Thinking about how much I’ve grown since those early celebrations on my dad’s acreage often make me think about how much older my dad is too. While he’s pretty healthy overall, he does have some issues that make me worry at times.

Luckily, there are a few things that men of any age can do to ensure optimal health, and lots of them are pretty easy! These four easy tips are ones that will help men on the road to good health for decades to come:

green tea

1) Drinking Green Tea

I must admit that I’m not really a fan of the taste of green tea, but its many health benefits make it worth drinking anyways! Regular consumption of green tea is said to boost immunity, act as an anti-inflammatory and increase metabolism. It’s even been shown to help improve memory!

Surprise Your Kids with Easy Heart-Healthy Valentine’s Day Snacks

February 12, 2015 by Kathryn 46 Comments

When I was younger, we usually got one or two treats at most on Valentine’s Day. In the morning, we had a special breakfast of heart-shaped Jell-O. Since it was a once-a-year treat we were always very excited about digging into the red jiggling hearts.

Later that day, we each received a small heart-shaped box of assorted chocolates, usually featuring a fun cartoon character on the front.

Times have changed a lot since then and while I still prefer a minimalist approach to the day, there’s not much I can do about the huge packages of candy my boys bring home from school.

Valentine’s Day has become almost like a second Halloween for many, and every cute paper Valentine that is exchanged at school now also includes chocolate, lollipops or other treats.

So what’s a parent with a desire for healthy Valentine’s Day snacks to do? Get creative of course! February is also Heart Health Month and one of the best ways to ensure a healthy heart is by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. That’s why, instead of Jell-O this year, I’ll be feeding my boys these adorable Fruit Pops for breakfast!

Just stick a skewer into a strawberry or slice of banana, dip it in your children’s favourite natural yoghurt and then roll the pop in granola! While I store the pops in the refrigerator until serving, I’m sure they would be delicious frozen as well. [Read more…]

femMED Health Supplements for Women-Review and Giveaway

January 17, 2012 by Kathryn 31 Comments

Last year, I reviewed a few of the fabulous products from femMED, a company that makes dietary supplements especially designed for the most comment health issues women encounter. I found both the Energy supplement and the Weight Management supplement did exactly what they were supposed to do, and I loved that they were exclusively designed for women (you can read the full review here).

femMED Heart Health supplementBut energy and weight-loss are just two of the common health issues women face and femMED understands that, which is why the company offers an entire range of female-focused supplements. I think my two favourite formulas have to be the Bone Health and the Heart Health formulas. These are two of the health issues that have really become a major concern for modern women. In Canada, Osteoporosis affects an estimated one in every four women over the age of 50 and heart disease is the number one cause of death among women.

Fortunately, there are great supplements like this one to help women optimize their health now. The femMED Heart Health supplement contains fish oil to help lower cholesterol and antioxidants to help lower blood pressure. And the Bone Health supplement contains calcium and magnesium to help build strong bones as well as Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 to help increase calcium absorption. I love that every femMED formula contains an easy-to-understand breakdown of the ingredients and how they work!

There are also formulas for Libido, Breast Health, Menopause Relief, Pregnancy and so many more. No matter what issues you are currently struggling with, chances are good that femMED has a supplement to help you optimize your health!

My experience with femMED supplements was very positive and I can’t wait to try some of the other formulations the company offers. The Breast Health supplement is especially interesting to me because my grandmother died of breast cancer. And having seen how effective the supplements for specific symptoms are, I must admit I would love to try the Multi + Antioxidants supplement as well! If you have health concerns and are looking for a safe, natural and effective way to improve your health or treat your symptoms, check out femMED supplements for yourself and enjoy formulas that were developed just for you!

Buy It: femMED supplements are available at major retailers and health food stores across Canada, so check the website for a retailer near you
