The Depression Cure…Book Review

I recently read some startling statistics, according the WHO Depression is currently among the top five leading causes of disability worldwide. By the year 2020 it is projected to be the second-leading cause of disability globally! Why?

Science believes the cause is most likely chemical imbalances. Okay, Why? There must be a reason, and why is it growing astronomically? These are the questions that we in the Natural Health industry ask ourselves.

In his book ‘The Depression Cure’ Stephen Ilardi. PHD asks these same questions and believes the answer is lies in our lifestyles. I have always suspected this myself, so when I read his book not only was I fascinated, it all made perfect sense to me.

Many self help books focus on healthy lifestyle benefits like exercises, stress reduction and eating habits and I believe that is where most of the problem lies, not that we were just born with chemical imbalances, more like our lifestyles are out of sync with our physiological design and some people have adapted well without suffering the effects of depression.

In The Depression Cure Ilardi makes this correlation with the Amish, known for their hard working, simplified lives absent of most technology, depression is virtually non-existent.  It is a book anyone with depression and or anxiety should read, Ilardi offers a six-step program that focuses on re-designing our lives socially, mentally and physically.

After read his book I still asked myself why will Depression rank 2nd in the near future and I believe it goes back to our lifestyles and I believe technology will further isolate ourselves and make us less physically active and that our food supplies will further deteriorate in quality do to things like GMO’s and pesticide use.

Create Spring Water At Home?

Most natural health practitioners will agree that the best water we can drink is Spring Water.  This subject has been debated vigorously over the last couple decades because it is well known that municipal water supplies are a  harmful cocktail of chemical substances that have the potential to do our bodies a major amount of harm.

Women and Cosmetics

One of the major lessons that I have learned in my 57 years on this planet is that new knowledge is my friend and a lack of knowledge is my enemy.  Think about it!  Just because you do not know what is in your cosmetics does NOT mean that they aren’t toxic; therefore bringing damage to your health.  For example, sometime time back I was driving 37 miles per hour.  That sounds slow enough, doesn’t it?  Not to the nice policeman.  You see, I was not paying attention to the speed limit signs.  It happened that I was in a residential section that was 25 miles per hour.  I tried to tell the nice policeman that I was sorry and talk him out of the ticket.  Unfortunately it did not work.  I had to come home presenting my sweet husband with a $320.00 ticket.  A 1 1/2 years later I still regret having to pay that fine!   Even if you are unaware that there  are  toxins in your cosmetics, ladies they still are destructive to your health.   Recently a study was led by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine  in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonwealth  Nine individuals were selected who did not work with chemicals on their job or live downwind from polluting smokestacks.  They were scanned for 210 toxic substances.   The results were astounding.   According to the National Toxicology Program of the Environmental Protection Agency, of the 167 chemicals found in their blood and urine, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development in children.  Our bodies were designed to eliminate toxins from our body.   However, we now live in a society that contains an over load of environmental toxins, toxic food, and topical toxins.  Therefore, our bodies are breaking down.  As our bodies are breaking down scientists refer to this as a person’s body burden.  SIXTY PERCENT of what we apply to our skin or scalp penetrates into the blood stream.   Information such as this drives us at Health Nut Nutrition to offer our customers a better way.

When I began my health journey in 2004 I totally changed everything about my lifestyle.  Cosmetics seemed to be one of the most difficult areas to change.  I like make-up, lotions, and hair color.   When God opened the door for me at Health Nut Nutrition, one of my goals was to find make-up to offer you that looked nice while it was not destroying your health.  Through samples and experiments I located Earth’s Beauty.  The company’s slogan is, the look you want, the ingredients you trust.  After two years of wearing the make-up I still enjoy as much as when I began wearing it.  HNN carries all of the products and colors that you need for a beautiful face.

We also carry Aubrey Organic make-up.  It has been very popular with some of our ladies.   Aubrey Hampton, the founder of Aubry Organics, has been formulating and manufacturing skin and body care for over 30 years.  I personally use Aubrey shampoo, conditioner, soaps, and lotions.  I enjoy using their quality products because I that they work well while they are not destroying my health.

I have been coloring my gray for 16 years.  I was not ready to give up on my hair color.  As I began to eliminate other toxic make up I could smell the toxins in my hair color.  Finally I was able to locate natural hair colorings.  At HNN we offer three different safe hair colors.

One of my favorites is the skin care line Honey Girl Organics.  HGO comes from an organic farm located in Haleiwa, Hawaii.  Each batch is handmade and contains honey, beeswax, bee pollen, propolis, and essential oils.   Remember, all of the ingredients in HGO are organic.   When I began using the facial skin care system, my husband noticed the difference in only two days.

The product lines that I have shared with you are only a few of the cosmetics that we can offer you at HNN.  I am thankful to be employed at a store than than offer ladies product that they need to feel good about themselves while  not destroying their health!  Come in and check out our bath, body, hair, and facial lines!
