Healthy For The Holidays

The holiday season is a joyful time of year! It is also a common time of year that we put on additional unwanted weight! We have holiday parties with sugary and fattening foods tempting us at every turn. Home-baked goodies and sweet dessert offerings are difficult for most of us to deny. Indulging in all the festivities and holiday parties with these sugary and fattening foods can significantly increase our weight. In addition, the high sugar content of the holiday foods can impair our immune system and make us more susceptible to cold and flu season!

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathy is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.

Colds & Flu – Vancouver Naturopaths

To cut the odds of coming down with colds and flu this winter season, always take caution to guard against germs by washing hands frequently, and avoiding contact with people who are sick. Eating a nutritious diet, balance your activities and work are good practices as well.

Depression – Vancouver Naturopaths

If you are suffering from depression, naturopathy may be beneficial for you. By promoting physical activity, a healthy diet, and proposing natural health treatments, naturopathy can help you feel better without medication.

Shellfish & Seafood Allergy Testing – Vancouver Naturopaths

Seafood allergies are among the most widespread food allergies, common among adults (as well as some children). Unlike many other food allergies and reactions, seafood (as well as the more specific, shellfish) allergies, tend to be more likely to result later in life, rather than in early childhood and often tend to be severe and permanent food allergies that patients must deal with for the rest of their life.
