Start the New Year with The Five S’s.
Now that 2012 is under way, how about a simple resolution for lifelong health that you can easily remember: The Five S’s. Or Sx5. 
The Five S’s refer to five things you can do to maintain optimal immune health. In my book, these measures will also impact many other health areas, including weight, cardio, skin and mental health.
The are:
Sustenance – Meaning diet and nutrition. A diet tilted toward fruits and veggies, less processed sugar, moderate lean fresh meat consumption, healthy fats, a good amount of water and maybe a red wine or dark beer here and there, can help feed healthy gut bacteria essential for immune health while also addressing cell inflammation that damages health. Think Mediterranean.
Sport – Moderate exercise can improve immune function. The science is there.
Stress – Managing stress helps impact gut health, where stress can upset the balance of immune-controlling beneficial bacteria.
Sleep – A solid 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night can do wonders for immune health.
Supplementation – Nutritional support with EpiCor can help optimize immune health, especially during stretches when diet, stress management, sleep or exercise might be lacking.
Keep these Five S’s at the fore. See how things go during the year. You may be surprised.

I’m just really enjoying the web template of this web page. It is relatively simple, but impressive. Most of the time it’s tough to put together that “most suitable balance” between usability and look and feel. I have to admit you have carried out a good job because of this. At the same time, your blog post loads very swift for me on mozilla. Awesome Weblog!
