Disturbances in your sleep pattern, either not being able to get to sleep or not being able to stay asleep, are a key sign that stress friction is affecting your nerves. Poor sleep results in poor recovery leading to a reduced energy level and more fatigue the next day. This means even less energy to deal with stress. This nasty de-energizing catch 22 can...

One of the most dramatic discoveries in recent times is the direct linking of bone to the natural regulation of blood sugar in your body. This new science demonstrates that bones are actually an endocrine organ. It has been found that osteoblasts secrete a protein called osteocalcin that is not only involved in the formation of bone density but acts as a...

High quality calcium and magnesium minerals are important for strong, healthy bones. Unfortunately, many low quality calcium supplements are on the market that provide little or no benefit. Wellness Resources® Daily Bone Xcel™ is our core mineral supplement that contains the highest quality calcium, magnesium, and cofactor nutrients, such as vitamin D and...

Because your immune system needs optimal energy and a "resting tone" of fitness in order to be well prepared, factors that induce energy depletion and wear and tear, especially stress, are key factors to change so as to keep your immune system in a more optimal state of readiness.The best supplements to help energy production and stress management, while...

A telomere is a repeating sequence of DNA at the end of a chromosome. Each time a cell replicates and divides, the telomere loses some of its length. Eventually the telomere runs out, and the cell can no longer divide and rejuvenate, triggering a poor state of cell health. Supporting your telomeres is paramount for healthy aging. If you feel like stress...

Many factors play a role in children's health. Diet quality, exercise, digestive health, immune system function, and brain nutrition are important areas for any child. The foods that many children eat today are lacking in nutritional value. We recommend that children avoid excess sugar, food colorings, additives, and processed foods. Also, it is smart to...

If you want to continue to be active when you’re elderly, vitamin D supplementation, along with exercise, is a good idea. Even the U.S. government recommends that older people take vitamin D to prevent falls and remain active. Several new studies show that vitamin D helps maintain mobility during aging.

A large study involving 68,517 participants has shown that vitamin D taken with calcium reduces fractures for both men and women of any age.

Several new studies demonstrate the power of vitamin D to reduce inflammation and pain, operating at the DNA level to regulate genes to reduce inflammation. This information expands our understanding of vitamin D in relation to the immune response and sends a clear message that people with any kind of pain or ongoing inflammation should optimize their...

Seventy percent of U.S. children are lacking the bare minimum vitamin D intake. A new study proves for the first time that low vitamin D is associated with earlier menstruation, a significant known risk factor for future breast cancer.

A groundbreaking study has significantly expanded the role of vitamin D in human health. Research shows that it helps your muscles recharge faster, giving them more energy and less likelihood of fatigue.

Researchers at the University of California found that individuals who consume 17 or more different dietary supplements per day were found to be far more healthy than those who take no supplements.
