H1N1 (Swine) Flu Recommendation The doctors of the WNPA are concerned about the issue and are recommending that people seek medical care if exhibiting symptoms of the flu such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. We support standard public health guidelines for hygiene and encourage people to take precautions regarding their exposures. Our patients typically remain healthy by following naturopathic principles of sound nutrition, exercise, lifestyle choices, and stress management, empowering their bodies' innate healing mechanisms. For more information about natural prevention and treatment options, contact your local naturopathic doctor.
Juicing to enhance health Consuming fresh juice in your daily diet offers an array of health benefits. With the current nutritional guidelines recommending 5-10 servings of fruit and vegetables daily (1/2 – 1 cup per serving), juicing provides a way to more easily meet or exceed that goal. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and soluble fiber. Juicing can make these nutrients more easily absorbed and available to the body. When deciding on what to juice, choose mainly vegetables due to their lower sugar content than fruits. Four ounces of juice, preferably diluted with water, is an adequate daily serving. High in antioxidant nutrients, consuming fresh juice regularly can increase energy, build and strengthen the immune system, and help detoxify the organ systems. Food cravings can be decreased, lowering caloric intake, and potentially leading to desired weight loss. Fresh juice may also prevent chronic disease, as well as enhance the healing of acute and chronic conditions. Some of these conditions include chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, arthritis, cancer, digestive problems, blood sugar imbalances, and constipation.
