Ah, New Year’s Eve.  It’s a night  filled with heavy drinking, and is usually followed by a hangover and deep-rooted feelings of regret.  If you’ve started 2011 with a pounding headache, a sour stomach and prayer to the porcelain god, your first resolution should be to use this guide for a speedy recovery.

Ok, I am going to get right down to business, you have a killer hangover and are looking to get rid of it faster than last year.  No aspirin or “hair of the dog” recommendations here.  As a health coach, I recommend these natural hangover remedies – they’ll definitely do the trick and quickly.  These methods are tried and true, I have used all of them (and so have some of my clients’), and can vouch for their potency.  Use these 5 natural hangover cures today and for the future.

1) Coconut Water

Coconut water is nicknamed “the fluid of life”- the essence of nature.  The liquid is pure, sterile, and naturally sweet; it’s also loaded with essential vitamins, minerals and salts.  Mother Nature’s hydration is also low in sugar, and helps to restore electrolytes lost during drinking.  Coconut water also revs up your metabolism.  Brands like Vitacoco, Zico and O.N.E. have turned this once traditional island beverage into a mainstream thirst quencher.

2) Green SuperfoodFoods with a high phytonutrient content. Phytonutrients are chemical compounds found in plants that increase health and wellness. An example of a phytonutrient is beta carotene, which is useful in heart health and as an anti-cancer anti-oxidant (when obtained from whole food sources) Powder

This “green machine” is loaded with magnesium and B vitamins, both of which are depleted during heavy drinking.  Magnesium is an electrolyte; electrolytes aid the body in re-hydrating, which is crucial to undoing the drying effects of alcohol.  B vitamins also play a major role in liver detox.  B vitamins are often depleted when the liver is taxed, such as after a night of drinking.  Consuming foods high in B-vitamins will help your liver to detox and filter the alcohol from your body.  B vitamins are water soluble, meaning they are activated in the presence of water, but they are also excreted easily through water as well (i.e. urine and sweat).  Be sure to take in extra fluids when ingesting this superfoodFoods with a high phytonutrient content. Phytonutrients are chemical compounds found in plants that increase health and wellness. An example of a phytonutrient is beta carotene, which is useful in heart health and as an anti-cancer anti-oxidant (when obtained from whole food sources); for an added vitamin boost, consume with coconut water which is naturally high in B’s.  If you can’t stomach the powder, most greens come in capsule form; they will be easier to swallow, but they will not work nearly as fast as drinking the powder.   If you prefer to take B vitamins, take a complete B complex from a whole food source.   Do not take isolated B vitamins.  Taking high amounts of stand alone B vitamins will create a deficiency within your body.

3) Lemon Water

This is the simplest remedy (aside from opening a carton of coconut water).   Simply fill a glass with spring or filtered water and squeeze the juice of one lemon; if you are feeling particularly terrible, use the whole lemon.  You’re probably making a face at the thought of drinking a glassful of sour water, but your stomach will thank you later.  Lemon has a detoxifying effect on the liver, so you’ll want to drink as much lemon water as you can stomach.

4) Decaffeinated Green Tea

Be sure to drink decaffeinated green tea, as caffeine has a dehydrating effect on the body (your body is already dehydrated from the alcohol).  Green tea is rich with antioxidants.  Antioxidants help to neutralize toxins processed by the liver, and are an important element in liver health. As an added detox benefit, squeeze a bit of lemon into the tea.  You’ll get the antioxidant benefit of the vitamin C and the liver cleansing benefits of the juice.

5) Milk Thistle Tea

Milk thistle has long been recognized and used as a liver tonic during detoxes.  Milk thistle is still used in Europe as a treatment for cirrhosis, jaundice, and damage caused by drug and alcohol abuse.  Although its healing properties are not fully understood by scientists, milk thistle has strong healing effect on the liver, and can help to reverse some liver damage.

Incorporating the above hangover remedies will help you beat  even your worst hangover.   Just in time for your next night of drinking.

Zombies are on the low end of the horror totem pole.  They are usually portrayed as decaying, mindless, savages whose only goal is to consume buffets of brains.  Sure they’re not sexy and glam like the vamps, and they can’t shape shift like werewolves; but their concept of wellness is the most sophisticated among the supernatural.

We can gain valuable insight about nutrition and wellness from these animated corpses.  Below are 6 helpful holistic health tips from the undead that you can easily incorporate into your life:

1) Eat Fresh

Fresh, unprocessed food is both nutritious and delicious.  When zombies feast, their food is fresh-so fresh, it’s still breathing!  Reap the rewards of their rotting wisdom; buy the freshest cuts of natural meat and organic / local produce available at your local grocer’s or farmers’ market.  Only buy meats that are anti-biotic and hormone free (and grass-fed if you have access).  Zombies don’t eat at places like McDonald’s because they know the long term health benefits of a quality meal.

2) Exercise your Protein

Healthy protein receives optimum exercise BEFORE you consume it.  Zombies have to chase after their food; their food is in a constant state of panic, so their “meals” are always on the move.  What are the benefits of exercised protein?  Cows and chickens that are allowed to roam and are exercised regularly are leaner than confined chickens and cows.  Make sure your eggs are cage-free and that your meats are as natural as you can afford (pastured eggs and meats are ideal).  Pastured means grass fed; grass fed meat and eggs are richer in Omega 3’s fats, vitamins and minerals than their store bought counterparts.

3) Stay Focused and Committed

Let’s face it, no one will ever mistaken zombies for Rhodes Scholars; but their commitment to their agenda trumps high IQ scores any day.  They pursue their “dinner” with a relentless, single-mindedness that is admirable.  Likewise, when you sign up for a health coaching program, stay focused.   Once you make a commitment to living a healthy lifestyle, stick with it – you’ll reap the benefits in the short and long term.

4) Whole Nutrition = the sum of the “parts”

Zombies know that total nutrition doesn’t just lie in the flesh, but in the organs too.  Organ meats, such as liver, are jammed pack with B vitamins, iron, protein, vitamins A and D, etc.  Our ancestors included organ meats in their diet; even without a nutrition background, they knew these parts were nutrient dense.  Squeamish about eating organs?  A tasty and less traumatic alternative is to make homemade bone broth from chicken, beef or fish (recipes for all three will be featured in my upcoming E-book), which is rich in marrow nutrients. Zombies are often misunderstood because of their intense love of brains.  Instead of putting them down for having a “one track mind,” think of them as being passionate “flesh foodies” instead.

5) Show some Brotherly Love

Zombies are a peace loving species – among one another that is.  Zombies don’t attack other zombies, allowing them to direct their energy towards savoring live human flesh.  Mmmmm…brains (Homer Simpson voice).  Learn by ghoulish example, regularly go out of your way to treat others with kindness whenever possible.  A smile goes a long way, it’s always in season and best of all, it’s FREE!

6) Knowledge is “contagious”

Zombies bite their victims and infect them, creating  more zombies.  Although I don’t condone killing, I do admire their spunk.  Use the above tips to help promote wellness in your life.  When you live a life that is balanced and supports your overall well-being, people will want to know what you are doing.  Don’t hesitate to “infect” them with your knowledge!

At 360 Nourishment, we believe learning about health doesn’t have to be boring.  Like what you’ve read so far?  Stay tuned for the upcoming “Zombie Guide to Holistic Health”  E-book!

Holistic Health coaches are being sought out more than ever before.  Holistic health coaches are a viable alternative to Registered Dietitians and other traditionally trained nutrition professionals.  It is important to find a competent counselor that will help you achieve your goals.  360 Nourishment LLC is a holistic wellness one stop shop that will help you to stay healthy for life, and will provide support so that you reach your  goals.

1) Adjustable custom tailored plans

This is one of the most important services that we offer.  Regardless of your previous nutrition knowledge,  I make sure that I work with you to incorporate all of your likes / dislikes, schedule issues and any conditions that you may have into your regimen. Although I am a holistic health coach and will most likely introduce you to new foods foreign to your diet, your plan is meant to help you develop a healthy way of eating that you can follow for life; you should feel relatively comfortable following this regimen.

2) Listen twice, speak once

Greek philosopher, Epictetus, once said “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” Any holistic health consultation that you have with me will require you to do most of the talking, not the other way around. An effective counselor should be well versed in assessing and addressing your needs by really listening to you. As a coach, I am also skilled at reading your body language (which speaks just as loudly as your voice).

3) Emphasis on “total wellness”

Did you know that nutrition is only one aspect of holistic wellness?

My program is a complete holistic health and wellness program that emphasizes every aspect of your life, such as the physical, emotional, mental and the spiritual realm (if you believe).  An imbalance in any of these areas often leads to an imbalanced diet (emotional eating is a common way that people to “create” equilibrium). I encourage balance and total nourishment in my practice, 360 Nourishment.

4) Alternative views, solid facts

As a holistic health coach, I often have viewpoints that are not readily expressed in the mainstream.  However, I always strive for accuracy, and the ability to provide you with sufficient, scientifically backed information.  At 360 Nourishment, my motto is to “Heal Your Body, Not your Symptoms”.  Prior to the start of any program, I administer a comprehensive diagnostic test that addresses every major system within your body, in addition to our initial hour long consultation.  At 360 Nourishment, your health is my primary concern; I pride myself on being as thorough as possible.

Is your health coach this detailed?

Remember, not all health coaches are equal.  Don’t settle for a health coach that gives you “general” health and wellness information, insist that all the information within your program is personalized to you and backed by facts, not opinions or generalizations.

5) Comfort level

Lastly, but most important, at 360 Nourishment, we want to make sure that you are always at ease when talking with your counselor. Your health coach will maintain a calm and tranquil presence throughout your program. Not only does this help put the client at ease, but it reinforces positive execution of the program- which leads to faster results.

At 360 Nourishment, we believe when you feel at ease with your holistic health coach, everything else will naturally fall into place!

Drinking water, we all know we need to do it, but for many folks, it’s a painful, daily chore.  One of the biggest challenges that I have as a health coach is convincing my clients to drink more water.  Their number one complaint is that water looks and tastes boring.  It’s no wonder that Vitamin Water is so popular.

Vitaminwater comes in an array of colors and flavors; each bottle has it’s own combination of “vitamins” that promises to keep you healthy and strong.  It’s even endorsed by celebrities, such as Steve Nash, 50 cent and Lebron James.  How can you not be a fan of this stuff?

If you strip down the product and put aside all of the fancy marketing and endorsements, you have a beverage that claims to  supply you with nutrients.  The reality?  Vitamin water is a fortified beverage, which means it is no healthier than Hi-C fruit punch.  Drinking your vitamins sure sounds convenient, but I can guarantee that your body won’t absorb most of them.  I explain why below.

Fortified vitamins v. whole vitamins

I often advise my clients to get adequate vitamins from their food and supplements.  I am often asked about fortified foods, and whether they are healthy or not.  My answer is that fortified vitamins are better than absolutely nothing at all, but they are far from healthy.  Foods are fortified because they have been processed and stripped of all their vitamins and minerals.  The vitamins are then added back into the food or liquid.  The problem is that these vitamins are not from whole food sources; they are isolated forms of the whole vitamin.  A simple way to describe this is eating an apple peel (fortified vitamins) vs. eating an entire apple (vitamins from whole food).  Whole foods, like oranges, contain vitamin C, but they also contain “co-factors”.  Co-factors are made up of enzymes, trace minerals and anti-oxidants present in the whole food and help the body absorb the vitamins.  Fortified or isolated vitamins may contain a few of these items, but not in their complete form.  As a holistic health coach, my concern lies with the quality, not the quantity of nutrition my clients’ receive.

Vitamin Absorption

Vitamins are important, but not as important as your body absorbing them.  Each flavor of vitamin water boasts a unique profile with  specific vitamins and antioxidants, but are these “vitamin boosts” really doing what they claim?  In order to answer this question, I ask you to read the following:

a) Vitamins are broken down into two major groups. water soluble and fat soluble.  Fat soluble vitamins are stored for use when your body is low on reserves; examples of these vitamins are A, D, E and K.  Fat soluble vitamins are absorbed better in the presence of fat. Vitaminwater Endurance makes the claim that it contains vitamin E; unless Glaceau is fortifying this flavor with olive oil or butter, you can assume that you are not absorbing any substantial vitamins.

b) Water Soluble vitamins dissolve in water and need to be replaced every day. Examples of these vitamins are B vitamins, vitamin C and calcium.  However, some water soluble vitamins depend on other vitamins for absorption.  Calcium, for example, cannot be absorbed without Vitamin D.  Vitaminwater Essential flavor has calcium lactate in their list of ingredients, but where is the vitamin D to aid in the absorption?

The best way to ensure absorption of water and fat soluble vitamins is to eat a balanced meals made with whole nutrient dense foods, not their fortified shells.  With today’s busy schedule, it’s unrealistic for a health coach to think that people don’t eat processed and fortified foods; the trick I give to my clients is to not eat these foods on a regular basis.

Sweetening the pot

Everything tastes better with a little sugar – yeah, I know, I probably shouldn’t be saying that as a health coach – but it’s the truth!  A little sugar never harmed anyone, but we as Americans generally have a hard time with moderation – we don’t understand “a little” of anything!  Vitamin water has a whopping 32.5 grams of crystalline fructose (sweetener) per bottle.  The next time you come across a vitaminwater label check the nutrition label.  Most people drink a bottle in one sitting, but one bottle is actually 2.5 servings. One serving of VW has 13g of sugar X 2.5 servings = 32.5g/bottle.  Please, always read the nutritional label to determine the number of servings.  Crystalline fructose, the sweetener in VW, is derived from corn, the same as high fructose corn syrup, however it’s sweeter than HFCS (thus less is required for the same flavor).  Crystalline fructose has been linked to liver damage.  Even Vitaminwater zero is made with crystalline fructose -  it may have less of this sweetener than the original – but it is by no means a healthy drink.

As with all things, moderation is the key.  Is vitaminwater the worst possible thing that you can drink?  No, but I will say you shouldn’t consider it a  healthy alternative to water.  If you really want to rev up your water, try adding lemon or lime slices or even a splash of natural  fruit juice.

Remember, getting your vitamins and minerals from whole foods is always the best policy!

While there is a lot of hype around the use of soy products, it’s important to note that much of the marketing and advertising around the benefits of soy is subsidizes by major corporations that produce these products like Monsanto.

In truth, there are numerous reasons why consuming Soy regularly in your diet can be unhealthy. Here’s a rundown of the most common reasons to avoid unfermented soy:

1. over 90% of soy in the U.S. is genetically modified, specifically to increase the efficiency of farming by making it grow faster while also making it modified so that its genetic makeup includes the Round-Up herbicide formula. How’s that for tasty? You’re consuming Round-up.

2. Soy can generate allergies. The gene placed in genetically modified soy (which I’ll refer to as GM Soy) is transmitted into the gut flora where it continues to function. Should you stop consuming soy, it can remain in your body for years, potentially causing allergic reactions in your intestinal tract that have the ability to upset digestion.

3. Natural toxins known as anti-nutrient in soy. These foods have anti-nutritional factors such as soyatoxin, saponins, protease inhibitors, estrogens, and goitrogens. Each of these can interfere with the protein-digesting enzymes in your body. While trace amounts of these aren’t necessarily troublesome, they can be if you consume soy on a daily basis.

4. Soy has a potential for creating blood clots. Hemaglutinin exists in soy and has the ability to cause red bloods cells to become increasingly sticky and clump together. These clumps are not able to process or transport oxygen as well across tissue membranes.

5. Goitrogens found in soy can disrupt proper thyroid function and iodine metabolism which results in long term thyroid problems. Goitrogens also hinder the creation of thyroid hormones.

6. Phyates or phytic acida substance that can block the absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, iron and especially zinc - in the intestinal tract. Soaking items, such as nuts and seeds, overnight removes this acid. found in GM Soy stick to metal ions which can prevent the absorption of minerals in the body such as magnesium, calcium, zinc and iron. For optimal body chemistry these minerals are vital.

7. Soy is laden with isoflavones which are a kind of phytoestrogen, a plant compound that resembles human estrogen. When Soy is consumed in larger quantities or on a regular basis the buildup of isoflavones can sometimes obstruct estrogen while also disrupting normal endocrine function in the body, potentially leading to infertility and the promotion of breast cancer.

You should avoid processed foods entirely, as many processed foods are made with GM Soy. If you choose to use Soy products, it’s best to use fermented soy products.  Fermented soy is the best choice for a modified diet, and even then it should be consumed in moderation much like other condiments that you use. This includes foods such as fermented tofu, tempeh, tamari and soy sauce.

With a desire to switch to a diet centered on holistic health, a lot of people change the food that they take in while at the same time trying to control portion sizes. Through research we quickly develop an understanding of “super foods”. Those interested in change should scope the benefits of eating black rice.

People often to turn brown rice over white rice because brown rice retains the bran and the germ that’s removed when white rice is processed. If you thought brown rice was great for your diet then you haven’t seen anything yet. Black rice was cultivated in Asia and was once a food that was fit only for the Emperor – of course you shouldn’t eat it just because royalty loved it but they did have a great reason for digging in.

True to its name, black rice is indeed very dark when it’s raw. When you cook this rice however it changes to a robust purple flavor that can really dress up any plate and give off a very appealing look to your dish – probably why the Emperor loved it so much in the first place.

So is there more to this side dish than just dabbling in color and display? That actually has a lot to do with the benefits of eating black rice. I’m talking about Anthocyanins.

Black rice gains its deep tone from the presence of flavonoid pigments (anthocyanins). This is a plant based pigment with very potent antioxidant properties, so the benefit is a plenty. These are the same pigments that give dark red and purple berries (black berries, dark cherries and raspberries) their color and health benefits – little berries are powerful super foods.

The pigments (anthocyanins) are under study for the role that they play in preventing a number of chronic illnesses that include cancer, heart disease and diabetes with the bulk of the assistance they provide coming from their antioxidant properties.

So a benefit of eating black rice means a reduction in heart attacks?

The Journal of Nutrition in 2008 produced a study that showed how extract taken from black rice and used in mice helped to prevent the progression of atherosclerotic plaque in the primary arteries of the heart – this is the type of atherosclerosisPlaque build up inside your arteries that causes heart attack. The extract also played a part in lowering lipid components such as triglycerides.

The extract from black rice has been cited in carrying as much cholesterol reducing punch as Simvastatin without the side effects of taking a statin medication. That’s a great bonus for anyone concerned about cholesterol that can’t stand cheerios & oatmeal.

What are the other benefits of eating black rice?

Like many super foods, black rice is a great source of minerals including iron. It carries a nutritional profile fairly similar to brown rice that’s packed in fiber, but the anthocyanins give it great boost above and beyond traditional brown rice.

With a pleasant, nutty flavor it is an awesome alternative to some of the less nutritious white rice alternatives while being an even more potent alternative to brown rice. Black rice used to be difficult to locate, before you could only find it in an oriental market or ethnic grocery provider. Now you can buy it at Amazon.com! For a nutritious boost on a classic dessert, see the below video for a delish rice pudding!

Winters can be relentless and cold; harsh weather create runny noses, colds and the flu.  No need to panic – help for your immune system is closer than you think, and it’s not in the form of costly prescriptions or doctor’s visits.

Antibiotics are necessary because they kill bacterial infections, such as strep throat and urinary tract infections.  The problem with this treatment is that it kills both bad bacteria AND the good bacteria.  Coupled with the antibiotics already present in conventional meat, our bodies are overloaded with the stuff.  The real issue with antibiotics arises when the good bacteria is killed off faster than it can be replaced, thus compromising our health.

Fortunately, there are many ways to renew natural armor, and help maintain the natural balance of bacteria within the body – starting with probiotics.  The good bacteria can be found not only in food sources, but in supplement form as well.

Examples of probiotic foods are yogurt and all fermented food, such as kefirA creamy drink made of fermented cow’s milk. It is rich in B vitamins, amino acids and minerals., kimchiA Korean dish made of vegetables, such as cabbage or radishes, that are salted, seasoned, and stored in sealed containers to undergo fermentation. and sauerkraut; the last three examples are delicious alternatives to yogurt that also provide additional benefits.  KefirA creamy drink made of fermented cow’s milk. It is rich in B vitamins, amino acids and minerals.,  for example, provides an added bonus of B-vitamins, as well as friendly bacteria, such as Lactobacillus AcidophilusA bacteria that is used to make yogurt and to supplement probiotics..

If your’re sensitive to dairy products, you can also take non-dairy probiotic supplements, but make sure the supplements are refrigerated. Refrigeration allows the live bacteria to stay dormant; it is activated after you ingest the pill.  The friendly bacteria aid your digestive system, and can help to fight off  harmful bacteria that may enter your body.  As an added bonus, regular intake of probiotics lower your chances of Candida (yeast) overgrowth.

If you’ve been prescribed antibiotics, remember to take probiotics the day after you finish your medication.  Probiotics replace the good bacteria that the antibiotics have stripped.  In addition, alcohol and stress can also weaken your immune system.  So chill out – breathe deeply and try to keep stress to a minimum.  Avoid regular binge drinking.  Remember, moderation is the key to life.

Following the above steps will help you to boost the beneficial bacteria in your body, and keep your digestion system strong. If you’re keen on adding probiotics to your nutritional routine, check the labels of dairy products or ask your grocer for additional information on products  that are infused with probiotics.

Improve your digestion, heal your gut and rev up your immune system with probiotics today!
