Stressed? We Can Help!

Natural Ways To Manage Stress

At certain times of the year, people occasionally find themselves under more stress than usual. For example, a tax preparer in March, a new mother learning the ropes, a teen with a challenging class, an employee taking on extra work with deadlines, and anyone dealing with health challenges. There are thousands of reasons, but the symptoms are similar. They include trouble sleeping, feelings of anxiety or mild depression, and even becoming more emotional. If this sounds like you or someone you know, Suzanne’s Natural Foods has some products and supplements that may help support temporary relief. As always, if you’re experiencing severe symptoms, please consult your physician.

 

Herbs have been used for thousands of years, back to prehistoric times, to treat occasional maladies. Plants gained massive popularity after the 10th century when herbalism gained traction and often overlapped with food history. With stress levels in our lives, we see more customers asking for natural relief. Let’s look at some options that have produced positive results and how they are used.

Meet the fabulous four! Four products that support mood and allow you to manage temporary stress better. These natural products contain herbs and flowers like St John’s Wort, Ginko, L-Tyrosine, Rhodiola, Passionflower, and Ashwagandha. Many also contain an array of beneficial vitamins that offer immune system support. Of course, every person’s needs can differ, so if you are looking for a product to provide support, ask one of our trained staff to assist in selecting the product best suited to your individual needs and lifestyle.

Welcome to the Liddell Laboratories family of easy-to-use “Letting Go” oral sprays. These options usually fit the bill for people looking for a bit more than flower essences. Formulated by a physician, they do not contain ingredients to wind you up or make you sleepy, and they provide relief without the side effects of narcotics or habit-forming drugs. The top three are formulated to ease symptoms of sadness, feeling overwhelmed, anxiety, stress, and tension. There is also a formula for anger as well. Several sprays under the tongue a few times a day are all that is needed, and the products are suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age.

 

Remember, if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, and your emotions are high right now, visit us at Suzanne’s Natural Foods. We can direct you to some products that may offer support…Naturally.

Managing Anxiety In Adults And Children

Increase Mental Focus, Improve Sleep, and Decrease Anxiety…Naturally!

Back-to-School time is normally when kids are excited to see their friends, meet new teachers and sometimes even learn about a new school. But for many children, it is filled with anxiety and dread. Some refer to this as ‘school anxiety’ or school refusal.’ It can make things very disruptive in your household, and it’s always a concern when your child is scared, depressed, or anxious. If the anxiety persists, you may want to consult your doctor, but the symptoms are often short-term. Suzanne’s Natural Foods has options that may help your child, naturally!

Keeping Your Kids Healthy In School

The busses are running, the school bell is ringing, and kids are filling classrooms once again. It’s back to school time, which means potential exposure to seasonal bugs and germs. Kids will be kids, so Suzanne has put together her five suggested supplements from KAL Vitamins to help keep your kids healthy this year!

 OVERALL SUPPORT

 

Do you have a picky eater at your home? If so, it can be challenging to ensure they get all the vitamins and nutrients a growing child needs. These delicious dinosaur-shaped gummies contain 11 essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A & D for healthy bones. Vitamin C and Zinc for immune system support. Vitamin B Complex for healthy energy. They will love the taste, and you will love that they are USDA Certified Organic and contain NO artificial flavors or colors. It’s a great way to start every day!

 

IMMUNE SUPPORT

 

School is like a giant petri dish. Your children will inevitably be exposed to colds, sinus infections, and even flu in class. Make sure they eat a healthy diet of at least five servings of fruits and vegetables. Sometimes that isn’t easy to monitor. Give them extra immune system support with Immuno-Raptor daily supplement. Taking one chewable daily will add essential ingredients like Vitamins A & C, Zinc, and Beta Glucan. All KAL products are always lab tested for potency, purity, and identity for parents’ peace of mind!

Many health experts believe that Vitamin C provides excellent immune system support. It’s often known as the ‘repair and protect’ vitamin because it keeps the body’s cells healthy and is considered an antioxidant.  It also supports healthy bones, muscles, tissue, and skin. These great-tasting gummies are the perfect way to get 250mg of Vitamin C per serving without all the additives you can find in other brands. Make sure you stock up; winter is coming!

 

OVERALL HEATH

 

Elderberry has a long history of safe use in school-age children through adulthood. They are known to help with brain development, digestion, and blood flow and possess antiviral properties thought to assist in the recovery of viral infections like the flu. These Elderberry gummies are formulated with nutrients specifically designed to help support the smallest members of your family. They are not only powerful, but they are also tasty with a delightful berry flavor. And, of course, you can count on KAL Vitamins to be certified organic.

According to Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital, several large-scale studies have found that one in ten U.S. children are deficient, and 60% are below optimal levels for Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for developing strong bones. Children older than one year need 600-1,000 IU daily, which may be challenging in a standard diet. These delicious gummies contain 1,000 IU in each one! Give your children one daily to ensure proper Vitamin D levels are met.
