Editor's Note

Welcome to The Grapevine, the monthly newsletter of God's Country Botanicals. 2007 is upon us and it's time to start thinking about those resolutions for a happier, healthier year. My resolution is to pass along all the information I can about ways to minimize your exposure to harmful chemicals and maximize your ability to reach your potential. Happy New Year!

News You Can Use

Good Morning America recently featured a story entitled, "Gym Germs Can Make You Sick". Since many New Year's resolutions involve getting more exercise, gym membership increases significantly in January. But in an effort to get more healthy, many people are unwittingly exposing themselves to germs like E. coli, staph aureus, enterobacter, and various cold and flu viruses. Find out how to protect yourself when hitting the treadmill or dumbbells.

Tips for Success

Miss getting your flu shot this year? Good for you! Studies have shown that getting an annual flu shot may do you more harm than good. To avoid getting the flu, follow these 5 simples steps:
  • Frequently disinfect your environment with antibacterial, antiviral essential oils.
  • Become obsessed with hand washing. Wash before and after using any public facilities and make sure you use a paper towels to open the door when leaving a restroom.
  • Drink more water. Start your day with an 8 oz. glass of water and refill it at least 5 times throughout the day.
  • Get enough vitamin D. With shorter days and longer sleeves, you may be missing out on much needed vitamin D from the sun. The flu virus is around all year but it routinely makes an appearance when daylight hours are the shortest.
  • Relax and enjoy life. Stress reduces your immunity. A recent report in "The Week" discussed the theory that people with an optimistic attitude get fewer illnesses.

    Now that's some advice that won't hurt a bit.
