Energy, now that’s a subject that perks interest in people!  Energy is one thing busy Americans need most.  Energy makes the world go ‘round, and in our human bodies, energy metabolism begins with digestive enzymes breaking down food.  Get some and take them with your cooked food.  A good, proper diet for the individual and supplementation, plus those enzymes, are used by the body to begin and maintain the process of Kreb’s Cycle.  This is where ATP, produced in the cells mitochondria, releases the energy necessary to make the heart beat, allow respiration or fuel any other physical task.  ATP production cannot occur without the ingestion of enzymes, vitamins and minerals, all of which play a role in bioenergetics.  Stay Healthy! is the place to find supplements that can ease the task of energy production, offering additional support during the process by fortifying energy stores and helping with energy conversion in the body.  Please call us at 702-877-2494, or visit our fun website at www.lvstayhealthy.com. We can help you increase a feeling of vitality in your life.
Thank you so much for your patronage. Stay Healthy!

Linda R. Page gives us practical and concise information on energy in her book Healthy Healing (pp. 378-379). She outlines her nutrition plan, super foods, bodywork and vitamin/herb supplementation suggestions for healthy energy.  Linda lists the five most common energy depleters, which are as follows: lack of sleep, stress, adrenal exhaustion, thyroid malfunction and overuse of stimulants. Stop by our store and familiarize yourself with Linda’s excellent research in Healthy Healing.
Good health to you always. Evelyn J

James Sloane answers questions:
  Common causes of low energy include low thyroid or adrenal function, poor diet, an overburdened liver, and lack of sleep.  Thyroid problems are difficult to diagnose, and even harder to determine their cause. Hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal problems, can all cause low thyroid function as well as estrogen dominance, chlorine or fluoride exposure, and lack of iodine intake. The best way to determine if hypothyroidism is present is to do what is known as basal body temperature (Call or e-mail us for this procedure). If your body temperature runs consistently below 97 degrees this indicates a low thyroid. Parsley and alfalfa can be used to assist the pituitary to form thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Dulse can be used to provide iodine so the thyroid can form triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). If the problem is due to the autoimmune condition Hashimoto’s thyroidosis then the adrenal glands should be addressed.  The adrenal glands help to maintain energy by the formation of epinephrine (adrenaline). Stimulants work in part by increasing the release of epinephrine, though long term use of stimulants can lead to adrenal exhaustion and a drop of energy.  B vitamins are also important for energy since they are needed for the conversion of carbohydrates into energy and for detoxification of the liver. “B’s” also benefit the nervous system, which may help with proper sleep patterns.  – James Sloane

Tarah’s Corner- There’s no doubt about it, stress and fatigue are major concerns in America today.  Eight out of ten Americans complain about stress and/or fatigue in their everyday lives.  Maybe we should consider Bee Pollen.  Bee Pollen has been called nature’s perfect food.  It is very rich in vitamins and contains almost all known minerals, trace elements, enzymes and amino acids. It builds the immune system and provides “positive” energy for the body.  Bee Pollen aids the body in recovering from exercise, returning breathing and heart rate to normal, and improves endurance for repeat exertion.  Bee Pollen is available at Stay Healthy!, so come on in and ask us about nature’s perfect food.  “Diversity is Unity”  -Tarah

J.C. Speaking Words of Wisdom
Energy is the word that describes the capacity for 
work or vigorous activity.
Want to build more vitality and flow through life with clean, clear, and lasting energy?  Superior tonic herbs are a real answer to building up and storing more overall energy and having superior health, balancing the bodies five organs systems (heart, lung, kidney, liver, and spleen).  These herbs are more specialty, high nutritional foods than they are medicines, safe for long term daily use by virtually everyone.
Superior tonic herbs are defined as agents that invigorate, strengthen and balance one or more of the three treasures (jing, chi, and shen). Jing is life essence that we inherit at birth, chi is daily energy we acquire from breathing and from food, and shen is our energy that drives mental, emotional and spiritual pursuits that reside in the heart, according to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Some of these herbs are Siberian ginseng, schisandra and astragalus, to name just a few. 
Come by Stay Healthy! and I’ll show you how to build superior health!
Knowledge applied is wisdom…
