Others however want to hover, defeating their goals of helping develop life skills to be independent. In sharing advice and counsel with the parents of newly minted college freshmen, I remind them their kids will be faced with choices, and those young adults will replay their advice and make wise choices.When it comes to food and fueling their bodies, college students have tons of options-on campus, off campus, fast food outlets, supermarket prepared foods, protein blender beverages...

Adrenal Fatigue-Never Ignore These Two Signs
Published:08/20/2015 11:35pm
Adrenal fatigue is a hard disorder to recognize. Many of the symptoms you may experience may be related to your adrenal glands which are not functioning properly. Exhaustion sets in when stress overwhelms these two glands which sit up on top of your kidneys.

It does this by producing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones regulate the way your body stores and produces energy. They modulate your immune system, your heart rate, your muscle tone, and other biological components of the...

How to Cure Hay Fever
Published:08/06/2015 09:28pm
With the nagging symptoms of hay fever, the focus is mainly on environmental triggers like pollens, animal dander, dust, etc. Clearing your environment of all these things is important if you suffer from serious allergies. However, this is only half of the big picture. A true cure for hay fever requires "cleansing your internal environment." If your insides are shipshape, then the external factors that fuel your allergies just won't trigger the same reactions. Since I have reduced my body's and clients' inflammation, we have experienced such radical diminishing of runny noses, itchy eyes, scratchy throats, headaches, losing weight and other...
