Let’s chat about the gut

Gut health impacts every part of your well-being. There are beneficial gut bacteria and also the notso-good bacteria. The greater the imbalance, the more potential issues may arise. From weight gain to how much you sleep, how energised you feel, the strength of your immune system and your skin health condition. When you're bloated or experiencing stomach aches or blockages at the other end, these are signs your system may be out of kilter. Maintaining gut health and a good microbiome matters to your overall well-being.

A balanced diet filled with dark greens will also go a long way to help your microbiome. Knocking back high sugar, processed foods, allergens and and managing intolerances are likely to make a difference.

Chew mindfully

How much you chew before swallowing matters too. The more work you can do with those teeth of yours, the easier job your gut has processing your fuel and getting it where it needs to go.

Even speed matters - a slow and mindful chew is best. Whatever goes on upstairs will impact your situation below. If you’re having trouble emptying your bowel, it’s time to take it back to basics.

H2O is key

Optimal water consumption can increase support for many other parts of the body which will work in your favour. Sugary drinks are not great for the gut and make a favourable environment for more bad bacteria or grow and flourish.

Our people in: Thames

Kia ora New Zealand.

Feeling the sun getting a little warmer encourages us to venture outside more. If you love gardening, you love to nurture, water and feed your flowers and plants.

But how many of us take care of our internal gardens? Our digestive system is full of microflora that needs nourishing and watering daily to be at it's best. It's all about creating a harmonious balance within.

The gut has is known as our 'second brain' and we often use our ‘gut feelings’ to guide us. Although it doesn't perform all the functions of a brain, did you know the gut-brain connection may affect mood, immune function, even weight management?

The awesome foursome!

The Awesome Foursome from Thames: lovers of nature, animals, music, and movement. Adi, Lauren, Ester, and Kelly have over 35 years of combined experience in the natural health industry.

Adi and Lauren are naturopaths and herbalists with a wealth of knowledge. Lauren is rediscovering the healing power of homeopathy. Ester brings a unique gift of Reiki to the store, which is truly special.

As for the store manager, Kelly returned to her love and roots of natural health after experiencing extreme anxiety and depression 15 years ago. As a child, Kelly's grandmother taught her a lot about holistic health and ways of living. As she grew up, the importance of that lifestyle started to resonate more with Kelly. She began researching and educating herself about biochemistry, gut health, and allergies when conventional therapy wasn't helpful. This marked the beginning of Kelly's healing journey and the formation of her career in natural health, which has taken shape in many positive ways.

Self-care for stress and sleeplessness

Stress is one of the common health concerns of many individuals. Stress is your body's reaction to harmful or threatening situations, whether the threats are real or not, and this triggers a chemical reaction known as the 'fight or flight' response.

Stress may present as feeling overwhelmed, experiencing low mood/energy, and sleeplessness. Insights from a recent study highlighted that nearly forty percent of New Zealanders struggle with sleep-related problems.[1]

If you are prone to experiencing stress or sleeplessness, incorporating a few self-care practices throughout the day can have a positive impact on your overall health and well-being:

1. Supplementing with B Vitamins, which are responsible for supporting your nervous system's stress response

2. Consuming green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale. They are an amazing source of magnesium, which is a mineral responsible for modulating the activity of the body's stress-response system.

3. Avoiding excess alcohol and sugary foods, as these can contribute to variations in your energy levels, making your response to stress worse.

4. Ensuring you limit your caffeine consumption in the afternoon.

5. Having a comfortable bed and pillow to ensure your body is relaxed for sleep.

6. Using St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), which is also used in traditional Western herbal practice to support nervous system health. St. John's Wort can also be effective in supporting healthy mood balance.

7. Supporting well-being with Valerian (Valeriana officinalis), a flowering plant native to Europe and Asia, which is used to help support restful sleep according to traditional Western herbal practice. Additionally, Valerian can be useful in providing support during times of stress and worry.

Looking for extra support to help manage your stress and sleeplessness? Thompson’s Stress & Sleep range has been mastered to support you through these times.

What you need to know about Lutein

Lutein is like a superhero antioxidant nutrient that's stored in various parts of our body, including the eyes, brain, blood, and skin. Now, here comes the cool part: Lutein protects our cells from free radical damage and even helps filter blue light. So, if you're glued to your computer screen a lot, this could help reduce glare.

Lutein belongs to the xanthophylls family, a sub-category of carotenoids. Not to mention, it also enhances contrast and takes care of our cellular health. It's like an all-in-one package for keeping us healthy and vibrant!

A healthy gut is the key to good health

The quality of our digestion, including our gut lining and the microbes living in our gut can affect our mood, immune function, skin, weight or body composition, and overall health and well-being. Everyday diet and lifestyle choices can influence the quality of our digestion and the balance of microbes that live there. A healthy gut is the key to good health!

Signs of gut health issues

Digestive or metabolic upsets, food sensitivities, poor immune system function, inability to manage a healthy weight, sugar cravings, poor mental health and brain fog, fatigue, dry skin conditions, and poor joint mobility may all be signs that your gut needs some tender-loving care. Symptoms may occur quickly or over a longer period.

What can I do?

There are many things you can do to support gut health. Making short and long-term dietary and lifestyle changes and eliminating foods your body may treat as toxic is a good first step.

Stress can come from multiple areas, not just your emotional state, so addressing the stressors in your life is key, and then you can either eliminate them or implement coping strategies.

Supplemental support

One supplement that could support gut health, metabolism, and weight management as you make changes in your lifestyle is Good Health’s Carb Buster Citrus Bioflavonoid PLUS. It is a multi-action, weight management support formula that is designed to support healthy glucose and fat metabolism.

White Kidney Bean Extract supports alpha-amylase activity - an enzyme that breaks down starch, supporting reduced absorption of carbohydrates. Green Tea Extract, Apple Cider Vinegar, Resistant Dextrin, and Chromium are added to support the gut microbiome, digestion, energy, a healthy metabolic rate, and appetite management.

Your antioxidant powerhouse

Ever heard of Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short? It's a natural antioxidant that our bodies produce and is found in our cells. This little powerhouse plays a crucial role in producing energy within our cells and also acts as a powerful protector, defending our cells from oxidative damage.

CoQ10 has been the subject of many health studies, and it's believed to have some fantastic benefits. Here are a few areas where it shines:

Heart health

CoQ10 is often used as a supplement to support the wellbeing of our hearts. Supporting energy production in our heart muscle cells and reducing oxidative stress can work wonders for our cardiovascular function.

Exercise performance and fatigue

Need an extra boost during workouts? CoQ10 might be your friend! While supporting energy levels, it can also support post-exercise recovery.

Antioxidant protection

By neutralising harmful free radicals, CoQ10 supports cell health which is great for our overall well-being and may even support healthy ageing.

Lighthouse CoQ10 350mg with Vitamin D3 has the added goodness of Vitamin D3 in the formula. Current research is examining how Vitamin D might support a healthy heart.

Remember, if you're thinking about trying out CoQ10 or any supplement, it's always a good idea to chat with our well-being experts in-store first. They can guide you on the right dosage and ensure it's a safe choice for you.

What is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Used in both food and beauty since the time of ancient Greece, apple cider vinegar remains highly popular today. Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is crafted by fermenting crushed apples with yeast and bacteria, which convert the natural sugars in apples into alcohol.

Subsequently, another fermentation process transforms the alcohol into acetic acid, resulting in the creation of apple cider vinegar. Bragg's ACV also contains what is known as 'the mother.'

When referring to ACV, 'the mother' denotes the murky, cloudy substance that may be visible at the bottom of the bottle. The mother comprises of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and proteins produced during fermentation. It gives the vinegar a slightly cobweb-like appearance and a slight tangy taste. The mother is highly regarded for its potential health benefits. It contains acetic acid and beneficial compounds like probiotics, which may support digestion, gut health, and overall well-being. The mother's presence in ACV is seen as a sign of a natural and unfiltered product.

Why drink Bragg ACV?

It may seem strange to think of drinking vinegar as we’re so used to adding vinegar to food such as salad dressings and fries. You might be wondering: How much should I drink? When should I drink it? And, perhaps most importantly, how do I drink ACV? See Health2000.co.nz/ blog/recipes for apple cider vinegar recipes.

The general suggestion for consuming ACV is not to exceed more than two tablespoons per day. The best way is to start small and slowly increase your dosage over a couple of weeks.

Due to the high acidity levels, you shouldn’t drink ACV straight, as it could damage your teeth or throat, so it is always best if diluted in water, or mixed in a drink or dressing.

Finding gut health harmony

Under normal, healthy conditions, the human body is home to billions of harmonious microorganisms. However, poor diet, stress or illness can throw out this healthy balance.

On the skin and mucous membranes an imbalanced microbiome can cause discomfort and irritation. Similarly, an imbalance in the gastrointestinal tract may cause digestive discomfort. Over time, poor gut flora balance may compromise our immunity and digestive health, leaving us vulnerable to attack from opportunistic microflora, tummy bugs and foodborne bacteria. Managing a healthy balance of our intestinal flora is an important part of achieving both digestive and immune health.

Radiance CandAid

A synergistic blend of caprylic acid, pau d'arco, black walnut and oregano oil alongside other herbs formulated specifically to support healthy gastrointestinal microbial populations and a healthy immune system.

• Helps support optimal, balanced intestinal micro-flora

• Supports skin and mucous membrane health.

• Supports gastrointestinal function and comfort

Radiance Activated Charcoal

A great addition to your first aid kit for travel bugs or foods that lead to tummy upset and gastrointestinal distress. Activated Charcoal works through the entire length of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores, carrying them away for safe elimination.

• Is highly absorptive, non-toxic activated charcoal

• Supports the clearance of toxins, chemicals, and microbes

• Supports a speedy return to health after mild gastrointestinal distress.

For joint health longevity

When discussing the longevity of joint health, it shouldn't be surprising to hear turmeric thrown in the mix. GO LIFE Turmeric For Joints contains high-strength turmeric and a synergistic blend of herbs that specifically support joint stiffness, mobility, and general joint health.

For added mobility, injury recovery, or everyday comfort, think GO LIFE Turmeric For Joints.

Solgar Springtime Suggestions

The start of spring is a burst of new life and positive expectations. With the dreary, wet winter behind us, the change of season is an excellent time to contemplate your health goals and nutritional requirements. Here are some Solgar tips for the upcoming season.

Seasonal hair health

Like plants, we need to support the health and condition of our hair. Our hair grows in a cyclic nature; therefore, it is common to have post-winter hair shedding. Support your diet to ensure that you get all vitamins and minerals –especially when supporting our healthy locks.

A multi-vitamin such as Solgar Formula VM 2000 is an ideal way to ensure that all those bases are covered, especially iron, magnesium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Other favourites for hair health are Solgar's Biotin 5000ug and Vitamin E with Yeast Free Selenium.

Moving the body

The increased daylight hours bring a natural invitation to move our bodies. Exercise is great for the body and mind. Walking, swimming, joining a sports team or any outdoor activity that you love; all help to increase blood flow, reduces stress and support muscle tone. But if you haven’t considered your magnesium intake now is a great time to review it. Magnesium is a mineral needed throughout the year and vital for Vitamin D absorption, bone health, energy levels, muscle action and sports recovery.

A sudden ‘charley horse’ leg sensation may be a strong indicator that your magnesium levels are low. Other signals can be more subtle such as imbalances in blood sugar, metabolism, blood pressure and restless sleep. Solgar suggests Magnesium Citrate, a high-quality form of magnesium with high bioavailability and utilisation to help maintain healthy levels.

Pollen season

An unwelcome part of spring is the pollen onslaught that affects those prone to allergens and can last days or even months. The good news is that a flavonol known as quercetin can be a supportive adjunct during this time, especially when combined with Vitamin C. Several studies have shown that quercetin helps supports the body’s natural response to allergens. Solgar suggests Quercetin Complex daily for at least three weeks before the pollen onset.

Let's uncomplicate prostate health

Intenza's Prostate Power Flow is here to support you through any hormonal changes that may come your way. Prostate Power Flow supports prostate health and comfort, urinary tract health, sleep and normal urinary frequency.

Remember, caring for your prostate health doesn't have to be complicated or stressful. Prostate Power Flow is here to support you every step of the way, naturally. Your future self will thank you!

Get the most from your detox

The food we eat, alcohol we drink, tobacco we smoke, cosmetics and household cleaning products we absorb through our skin – they all contribute to toxin load. Our livers do the brunt of the work, converting toxins into harmless substances to be secreted from the body through bowel movements, urine or skin.

Although our bodies are naturally ‘detoxing’ all the time, sometimes they can’t remove toxins at the rate we put them in. The first step is to hold off on the alcohol, caffeine and sugar for a few weeks and feel the difference!

Secondly, we want to stimulate the digestive process and support the liver in its cleansing duties with bitter herbs and leafy greens.

The herbs and citrus essential oils in Harker Herbals Detox Support get the digestive juices flowing and support regular bowel motions to expel toxins from the body. Irish Moss seaweed acts as a natural lubricant, making stools easier to pass and also loosens mucus which may trap chemicals.

Be ready for your body to let you know it’s working hard to get rid of the nasties – it’s not uncommon to feel a little nauseous, tired and irritable for the first few days of your detox. Keep at it for three to five days, and you will feel better!

New! Say hello to The Herb Farm's new look & products!

We’re excited to share that The Herb Farm's new look is here. The new intentional packaging is designed to tell The Herb Farm story and share their passion for herbs visually. The Herb Farm have also launched their brand-new serums and kiwifruit exfoliator cream. Find them in-store today!

Top tips for detoxing

1. Quit alcohol, sugar & caffeine while detoxing: our liver has to work especially hard to process these chemicals

2. Try intermittent fasting: by reducing the hours of eating, the digestive system has more time to recover and repair itself. A 14 hour fasting window lets your system ‘rest and digest’. An example is to have your evening meal at 6pm and not eat again until 8am

3. Reach for bitter herbs, raw wholefoods and leafy greens: your liver loves these! Try a formula like Harker Herbals Detox Support to get your digestive juices flowing

4. Increase your water intake: just like a wilting plant responds to water, so does your body. Choose water as your drink of choice

5. Make time to rest: everyone reacts differently; some feel energised and others wiped out. Try to take it easy for the first week.

THE MAGIC OF CARRIER OILS

Unlocking the benefits for your skin and well-being

When it comes to skincare, we often hear about the power of essential oils. But have you ever wondered how these oils are diluted and made safe for direct use? That's where carrier oils come in. In this article, we will explore the wonders of four popular carrier oils and how they can beautify your skin while enhancing the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.

Almond Oil:

Almond oil is a versatile carrier oil with incredible benefits for the skin. Rich in Vitamin E, it helps nourish and moisturise the skin, leaving it soft and supple. It is also known for its ability to reduce under-eye dark circles and puffiness. Almond oil mixes well with almost any essential oil and is often used in aromatherapy to support a sense of relaxation and calmness.

Apricot Kernel Oil:

Derived from the kernels of apricots, this carrier oil is a natural emollient that penetrates the skin quickly. It is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E, which help improve skin tone, help reduce redness, and support a healthy complexion. Apricot kernel oil is often combined with essential oils like lavender or chamomile for soothing effects making it an excellent choice for aromatherapy massages or as a luxurious bath oil.

Castor Oil:

Castor oil has been used for centuries to promote skin health. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties are ideal for treating skin breakouts and dry skin conditions. Additionally, this carrier oil contains ricinoleic acid, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting youthful-looking skin. When combined with essential oils such as tea tree or peppermint, castor oil can help support fungal balance and soothe tense muscles.

Jojoba Oil:

Jojoba oil closely resembles the natural sebum produced by our skin, making it an excellent choice for all skin types. It is easily absorbed, deeply moisturising, and helps regulate the skin's oil production. Jojoba oil's benefits extend beyond skincare - it can also tame frizzy hair, strengthen nails, and even be used as a natural makeup remover. Blending jojoba oil with essential oils like rosemary or bergamot can create an invigorating and uplifting experience.

Carrier oils are the unsung heroes that allow us to enjoy the power of essential oils safely. Each carrier oil has its unique benefits for your skin. So, indulge in these nourishing oils, and elevate your well-being by harnessing their therapeutic benefits in harmony with essential oils. Your skin and senses will thank you!

Healthy gut prep: getting ready for the allergy season

Spring is generally a positive time unless you are someone who associates spring with sneezing, itching and a blocked or runny nose. Knowing that the air is going to be full of pollen soon, is there anything we can do to help our body adjust?

Interestingly, our gut health can play a big role in our immune system balance. Poor gut integrity can mean that food particles, bacteria and other things that should stay within the gut, get through to the bloodstream and trigger our immune defences. This can make us more reactive to foods and airborne allergens. Also, poor gut health can affect the balance of our beneficial gut bacteria, which communicate with our immune system.

This makes fixing up our gut a priority for immune system balance.

Here are our 5 tips to help this:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Reduce foods that commonly cause food sensitivities when you are fixing up your gut. This gives it time to heal and helps your immune system get into balance. Gluten and dairy are often culprits

Increase bioflavonoids and Vitamin C in your diet, as they help strengthen the gut wall and our immune cell membranes making them less reactive to foods and pollen. Flavonoids like quercetin, rutin and hesperidin can be found alongside Vitamin C in brightly coloured fruit and vegetables

Use a gut healing formula to support gut repair

Reduce things like alcohol, coffee, smoking and processed foods that can negatively affect gut health

Support the balance of beneficial bacteria. Probiotics can be helpful in this area. Also, prebiotics provide nourishment to grow good bacteria. This means increasing fibre in the diet from fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds.

60s

Let's face it, no one feels great when they're not getting quality sleep. Age, stress and life stage can heavily impact sleep. Reforming sleep patterns is one of the easiest ways to help you with a better mood and a stronger mindset, to face any day with more energy.

BePure’s top tips for gut health and digestion

Regardless of what gut health issue you are battling, here are 5 simple tips we give to our clients at the BePure Holistic Nutrition Clinic to foster digestion and improve internal well-being.

Tip #1: Get to know your colon transit time

Knowing how long it takes food to travel from your mouth to the toilet bowl (aka your colon transit time) can help you understand if you need help slowing things down or speeding things up. Ideally, this would take more than 12 hours but less than 24 hours. If you need support, whether you find yourself in the slow bowel movements camp or the fast, BePure Gut Regular was designed to support regularity and gut comfort.

Tip #2: Chew your food thoroughly

Digestion begins with chewing. When we chew our food well, we prompt the production of gastric secretion to help us to further break down our food. Simply chewing your food until liquid can support bloating, uncomfortable tummies, and regular bowel motions. If chewing more is not a win for you, try adding a comprehensive digestive aid like BePure Digest Assist.

Tip#3: Spend more time in rest and digest

Living in the modern world can make it challenging to take breaks - especially for lunch during the working week. Our bodies need to be relaxed to digest our food well. To help foster digestion, swap your desk-based lunch break for a quiet dining spot that is free of devices, work, and distraction. Finding ways to mitigate and reduce stress is also beneficial for gut health.

Tip #4 Consume probiotics daily

Probiotics increase the amount of good bacteria in your gut. Foods like yoghurt, kefir, and kombucha are helpful ways to add probiotics into your day. If fermented foods aren’t your cup of tea, take a high-quality probiotic supplement like BePure Two, which contains a broad range of probiotic species to mimic the food sources above. We also designed BePure Kids Daily Probiotic for those under the age of 12 to top up on the good bacteria too.

Tip #5Eat a variety of different plant foods

Consuming a diverse array of fresh fruits and vegetables helps to foster our internal well-being by providing food our good bugs love to eat. Aim to eat a wide variety of plantsopting for two servings of colourful fruit or veggies at every main meal.
