  Any form of digestive upset can be uncomfortable and disruptive, but there's no need to let conditions like constipation and diarrhea prevent you from living your best life. With careful management of both the symptoms and root causes, including certain gastrointestinal health conditions that can alter your bowel movements, you can get constipation and diarrhea under control. This means you can spend less time in the bathroom and more time doing the things you love. Constipation Both constipation and diarrhea involve irregularities in bowel movements. Constipation refers to bowel movements that come infrequently and are more difficult. It is often painful to have a bowel movement when you are constipated, as stools harden after about three days. In addition to less frequent bowel movements, constipation can also include symptoms such as bloating and stomach cramping. You may be more likely to develop hemorrhoids if you strain when attempting to have a bowel movement...

You probably know what foods you need to be eating for a stronger immune system. It is as easy as adding fresh, unprocessed protein, vegetables, fruit, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds to your daily and weekly diet for you to start feeling better. It's a wonderful bonus that many of those foods are excellent for providing other health advantages like a strong heart, better brain functioning and an improved respiratory system. Speaking of bolstering your heart, brain and respiratory process, exercise can provide those benefits as well.

  Happy Earth Day! I chose many years ago to switch to safer household cleaners and laundry products. I wanted to be Earth friendly, but I must admit, I had a more selfish motive. I did not want to succumb to the cancer my mom had. She died when I was young of lung cancer, though she didn't smoke. I later learned that many cancers are caused from toxins in the environment. Many blame the large companies for pollution. While they do play a part, it is actually common household chemicals being the main culprit. They have proven that the air inside our homes is far more contaminated than the air outside. Scientists and government health agencies around the world admitted that many years ago. While we often can't control what goes on outside, we can control what we use in our homes. I chose to go the safer route and only use safe products. And the cool part is they work as well and often better than the toxic store brands. Plus, they do not cost anymore. I actually save money. If y...

  What Is Collagen? Collagen is the most abundant naturally occurring protein found in our body. It helps hold our body together by anchoring cells to each other, providing both structure and strength to our skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. How Is Collagen Made? Our bodies make collagen naturally. We combine amino acids (the building blocks of all proteins) to do this. This process also requires other important nutrients, including some vitamins and minerals. But as we age, our body’s ability to make collagen begins to decline. Our body may no longer absorb nutrients as well or synthesize them as efficiently. As a result, we may experience collagen loss, which can lead to some common signs of aging. These include stiff joints, sagging skin, brittle nails, lackluster hair, and wrinkles. Why Should I Take Collagen? As we age and begin to experience side effects from collagen loss, we can support the production of collagen to lessen these effects. Collagen-9™ provides th...
