The holidays are hard for everyone, luckily Elements of Nutrition is here to help you stay happy and healthy with these five tips and products.
1. Probiotics: Proper intestinal flora should be about 80-85% good bacteria to 15-20% pathogenic bacteria. Having the proper intestinal flora could help with bloating caused by indulging on food during the holidays. At Elements of Nutrition, we have plenty of probiotic products for you to prepare your digestive system, from supplements to kombucha to sauerkraut!

2. Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar could help improve your overall digestive health, while giving your pancreas a break. You can take it any time - before, during, or after a meal. Try it in water with lemon and honey! Elements of Nutrition carries two different brands of apple cider vinegar, along with apple cider vinegar capsules too!
3. Ginger: Ginger usually helps with stomach problems. Elements of nutrition carries ginger in many forms - supplements, tea, crystallized, and chocolate covered ginger. Try some today!
4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Recent research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids might protect the skin, might have anti-inflammatory effects, and even might have some impact on mental health. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is one of the primary omega-3 fatty acids, and it can be found in flaxseed, chia seed, and walnuts.; here at Elements of Nutrition we carry all in bulk, and we have other options as well!
5. Sunscreen: Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays are the type of ultraviolet light responsible for penetrating deep layers of skin, which might cause cell damage and lead to cancer. Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays only penetrate the superficial layers of skin. UVB is less intense during winter months, while UVA stays just as strong. That's why it's important to keep your skin care and sunscreen routine year round. Here at Elements of Nutrition, we carry Nature's Gate sunscreen, which offers both UVA and UVB protection, with added natural botanicals, antioxidants, and oils to keep your skin moisturized and healthy-looking!
