ABOUT Fitness and Lifestyle TV Show Host, Leisa Hart You likely know me from my Buns of Steel® workouts, and have the impression that my life is all smiles and no stress. I've been truly blessed by the tremendous success of my career with Warner Brothers and then owning my own Yoga Studio, but it all came with a price. Along the way, I took on far too much and hit many road blocks that took a hazardous toll on my health - physically and spiritually. The storm was a mix of a hip fracture, back surgery, an RA (rheumatoid arthritis) diagnosis, chronic pain, sleep deprivation and anxiety. I had to take a huge step back and reevaluate my my path. I had to slow down. Tremendously. And not even by choice, but rather survival. Now, I'm proud to say that I've weathered the storm and am stronger than I've ever been. I've learned SO much along the way and am honored that you're here for me to share my journey of self love, stress & toxin reduction, anti-inflammatory nutrition, simple fitness routines & more

- Top 5 Natural Antiviral Agents
Research shows these 5 substances can help the immune system face viral invaders BY GREENMEDINFO June 18, 2020 While much of the world is in lock-down mode over potential COVID-19 infection and global drug manufacturers work to fast-track a potentially risky vaccine, nature has provided us with an array of powerful virus fighters that can boost overall immunity and help protect against viral infections. Best of all, these all-natural health boosters are easy to source, economical, and have minimal risk of adverse effects. In short, they are a logical first line of defense against infectious health threats. Best of all, you don’t need a doctor’s prescription to begin reaping the benefits of these super-supplements. The Top 5 Natural Antiviral Agents are: 1. Vitamin C 2. Zinc 3. Echinacea 4. Licorice 5. Garlic 1. Vitamin C Perhaps the most common advice given when a person starts to feel a cold or flu coming on is, “take lots of Vitamin C.” More than a myth or superstition, vitamin C is clinically proven to both prevent and treat the common cold. An upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), sometimes referred to as a cold, can be caused by a variety of viruses, including rhinovirus, coronavirus, adenovirus, influenza, parainfluenza virus, and others, with the remaining 20 percent to 30 percent of cases being caused by bacteria. Colds are often diagnosed without the benefit of blood tests, but rather by symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, sinus congestion, and so on. There are hundreds of scientific abstracts illustrating the benefits of vitamin C supplementation. In this meta-analysis conducted by the Department of Public Health at the University of Helsinki, Finland, researchers found a statistically highly significant reduction in common cold incidence in groups supplemented with vitamin C as compared with placebo. A more recent meta-analysis of nine randomized, controlled trials published in BioMed Research International in July 2018, found that an extra therapeutic dose of vitamin C taken at the onset of a cold shortened the length of the cold by a whopping 56 percent and significantly relieved symptoms, including chest pain, fever, and chills. These benefits were observed in individuals already taking routine vitamin C supplements. For overall immunity-boosting, a combination of vitamin C plus zinc at doses of 1,000 milligrams (mg) vitamin C plus 10 mg zinc has been shown to be effective in patients with the common cold. 2. Zinc Zinc is indispensable for a healthy immune system. Since immune system functioning declines with age, some adults may benefit from a supplement, and it may also become more important during times of extreme stress and seasonal illness. A study published in May 2008 in the journal, Experimental Gerontology, demonstrated that short term oral supplementation with zinc safely and efficiently induces the stress response in healthy white blood cells from elderly donors. Researchers believe that the stress response may be a candidate pathway connecting zinc deficiency with aging and immunosenescence, the natural degeneration of the immune system over time and that proper dietary zinc intake may protect neurons from stress. Zinc supplementation has also been shown in clinical trials to improve symptoms of depression, a timely benefit considering the increasing fear and stress brought on by current events, and increasing social isolation. Zinc lozenges are a popular way to boost intake of this vital nutrient and have been shown to be very effective at wiping out common cold viruses 3.1 times faster than in those not taking zinc. 3. Echinacea Upper respiratory tract infections are a frequent diagnosis when someone seeks medical treatment for acute symptoms of the common cold. Echinacea, an herbal supplement commonly taken at the onset of cold symptoms, has considerable scientific evidence to support its widespread use for this purpose, both as a treatment for, and preventative of, URTIs. In May 2016, a team of researchers from Iran University of Medical Sciences performed a meta-analysis of more than 100 journal articles meshing the terms “echinacea” and “URTI,” identifying 66 relevant articles for deeper review. After the in-depth analysis, the research team concluded that there is a considerable amount of evidence showing the effectiveness of echinacea products in the prevention and treatment of respiratory tract infections. Another meta-analysis published in May 2015 in the journal Advances in Therapy concluded that “echinacea potently lowers the risk of recurrent respiratory infections and complications thereof,” noting that echinacea’s immune-modulatory, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects might contribute to these observed clinical benefits. A meta-analysis from 2006 came to similar conclusions, stating that “the likelihood of experiencing a clinical cold was 55 percent higher with placebo than with echinacea,” prompting the conclusion that echinacea is effective in the prevention of symptoms of the rhinovirus-induced common cold. 4. Licorice (Glycyrrhizin) Licorice has a deep and ancient tradition of use as herbal medicine by numerous cultures around the world. Licorice supplements may be labeled under its botanical name, Glycyrrhiza glabra, or the name of the active compound that gives licorice its characteristic sweetness, glycyrrhizin. Anecdotally, licorice has been credited with conferring benefits such as: Reducing inflammation, especially in the stomach reducing symptoms of coughs and bronchitis lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels Protecting against microbial or viral infections. Preliminary studies of licorice’s antiviral effect suggest this herb is a potent defense against global pandemics. A June 2003 study published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet explored glycyrrhizin and its effects on the replication of SARS-associated coronavirus. This ground-breaking study, performed during the global outbreak of SARS coronavirus and the subsequent search for antiviral compounds to treat the disease, tested the antiviral potential of glycyrrhizin against four common antiviral drugs, on two clinical isolates of coronavirus (FFM-1 and FFM-2) from patients with SARS. Of all the compounds tested, glycyrrhizin was the most active in inhibiting replication of the virus, prompting researchers to suggest that glycyrrhizin should be assessed as a potential treatment for SARS. Studies on both SARS and MERS-type coronavirus have demonstrated that licorice extract breaks down the integrity of the viral envelope while also boosting the host’s immune activity, giving rise to optimism over its potential use to treat the various coronavirus disease strains. Glycyrrhizin is a concentrated extract from licorice, and is GRAS, or “Generally Recognized as Safe,” in the U.S. Both licorice and glycyrrhizin supplements can be readily obtained in powder, pill or liquid form. However, individuals with high blood pressure, metabolic alkalosis, or low mineral levels should be advised that glycyrrhizin has been shown to aggravate these effects in some individuals. Consuming licorice in herbal form rather than highly concentrated glycyrrhizin supplements can help to mitigate these concerns. 5. Garlic Besides warding off vampires, garlic has been identified by natural health practitioners as one of the top five food-medicines. With the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria and the failure of drug-based treatments to stop the spread of common virus strains, building your inherent resilience to pathogens could be life insurance against some of the more serious—and potentially lethal —viral infections. Garlic has several hundred therapeutic properties, confirmed by a growing body of scientific research, which you can view directly on GreenMedInfo.com. Some of these beneficial actions include inhibiting pathogens such as the parainfluenza virus, Haemophilus influenza, several strains of streptococcus, and pneumococcal infections. While it’s not necessarily helpful to hang garlic on your door or wear it around your neck, adding garlic liberally to your cooking or taking a high-quality supplement can provide a big health boost and help you stay safe from unwelcome viral visitors. Guard Against Nutrient Deficiencies for Optimal Virus Defense There is an abundance of peer-reviewed science supporting immune-enhancing nutritional supplementation as a safe and effective defense strategy against viruses. Boning up on these nutritional pillars of good health will ensure that you have fortified yourself against viral infection from the inside out.

- How to Drink More Water Easily When It Seems Like a Major Chore
Originally Posted by LifeHack.org We all have the best intentions of drinking water. We make it our new years resolution and our goal for the week. We will even splurge on fancy water bottles made of stainless steel, glass or BPA-free plastic. But no matter what we do, we can’t seem to get enough water in. We feel sluggish, our skin isn’t glowing, and we are foggy headed. We often don’t remember to drink or are too busy chugging coffee or tea to worry about plain old water. The funny thing is, we also all know the benefits of staying hydrated with water. Staying hydrated leads to more natural energy (no need for 4 cups of coffee a day!), decreased hunger, weight maintenance, better looking skin and hair, naturally detoxing, and even sharper thinking. We all also know that our bodies are made of mostly water, it’s the best beverage to quench our thirst, and has no calories, no sugars, nor any preservatives. All-in-all, the math adds up and it’s a win-win. But then why is it such a chore to drink enough water? Simply put, water can be boring. But, that doesn’t mean that it has to stay that way! Here are some tried and true tips to increase your hydration so that you can reap all the wonderful benefits water has to offer. 1. Set a Goal This may sound redundant and you may even say to yourself “I’ve tried this whole goal thing before”. But this is different. The key to setting this goal for yourself is to keep the actual water visible. Start with a big container. This container can be a milk or juice container or a large pitcher. Keep it within eyesight, and keep it full of water. Whether that water container lives in your office, on your kitchen counter, or on your passenger seat in your car is up to you. But, the point is to have this as your reminder throughout the day. Now comes the actual goal setting part. Set a goal that each day that you will drink 1,2,3 or 10 of those water containers. Start small and work your way up. Use that large water container to refill your glasses and count how many times you fill that large container. This will give you an easy benchmark to see how well you are doing that day. 2. Add Flavor Oftentimes water drinking can be such a chore because we are accustomed to flavoring. Creating infused waters is a great way to make a delicious beverage that still provides all the benefits of plain water! Adding berries, herbs (such as mint, rosemary, or basil), cucumber, citrus, or melon can be a great way to shake up boring water and make you feel super fancy. Infused waters will keep all day and just continue to get more delicious as the day goes on! On top of reaping the benefits that plain water has to offer, infused waters will also provide extra boosts in antioxidants and vitamins/minerals depending on your infusion ingredients. It’s a win win! You can find containers that are specifically made for infusing, or you can make your own with just a large pitcher. Whatever works for you is great; continue to experiment with different flavors and combinations to find that award winning infusion recipe that leads you to chugging water all day long. 3. Keep it Cold A really cold, icy glass of water is usually more appealing than a lukewarm glass. Adding ice to your water will create a tempting thirst quenching beverage that screams “drink me now”! Especially in the summertime when temperatures are reaching ungodly highs, water is the perfect cool-down beverage. Finding a travel water container that keeps your glass really cold is key. There are even some water cups that will keep ice frozen all day long. You can even take this up a notch and create fun ice cubes. Using a similar approach to the infusions, freezing berries or herbs into ice cubes is a great way to add a hint of flavor without going overboard. 4. Use a Straw Surprisingly, many people have much more success in drinking plenty of water when a straw is involved. By simply switching to drinking via straw, it is easier to finish your glass before you realize it’s gone. In order to continue being environmentally conscious, grab either a reusable cup with a straw or just a reusable straw. And if you are worried about wrinkles, know that staying hydrated keeps your skin naturally plump and smooth. I don’t know about you, but I would rather chance having one or two wrinkles around my mouth while preventing other wrinkles all over. 5. Carry it With You Keep your water nearby at all times. Bring it in the car, to work, to meetings, to the gym, to the mall, and everywhere in between. Think of your water bottle as an extension of your outfit (bonus points if it matches your clothes). Having your water bottle around will eliminate any excuse not to drink. You will likely be surprised how often you are thirsty and go for your water bottle compared to how little you were drinking before it became part of your daily ensemble. 6. Use an App Need to drink more water? There’s an app for that. Countless companies have made apps that use creative ways for us to track our water intake. From apps that will donate a certain amount to charities when you drink water, to apps that encourage you to grow a beautiful rose bush based on your water intake, there’s an app answer for helping you stay hydrated. Even if you are compelled by some friendly competition, there are apps where you can challenge your friends and colleagues to “water races”. There are great ways to get started with drinking more water and create the routine of H2O over anything else. 7. Create Reminders Most of us function via virtual calendar these days. By creating reminders to ding as reminder to drink water throughout the day we can save ourselves any brainpower of thinking about water, just sit back an wait for the reminder. Set these reminders each hour and be specific! If you want to drink 8 ounces per hour, add that into the pinging message. And be sure to set yourself up so that you have the water around. The more of a chore it is to stop and drink water, the less likely you will follow through. So prepare a bit ahead of time, keep your glass full and chug when your phone reminds you to. Concluding Thoughts So much of our day-to-day practices are habitual. If you are finding yourself not drinking water currently, it’s all about changing that habit. Soon enough water will be all you want to drink! Setting yourself up for success is key to creating new habits. Making the new behavior easy, do-able, and actually fit in your lifestyle will make it much more likely to continue long-term. Plus keeping in mind how much better you will feel when you are hydrated will keep you going. Whenever you are creating a new habit, start small. Don’t bite off more than you can chew no matter how tempting it is to go from zero to hundred in a day. When you are forming a new water habit, start with increasing your water intake by factors of 1 or 2. You will always have room to grow! Being realistic with where you are currently and taking steps to get to where you want to go long-term is exactly what will keep you hydrated and feeling great for years to come!

- Are PROBIOTICS Right for YOU?
Dr. Derrick DeSilva explains Probiotics to host Leisa Hart and who should take them. [BE WELL] Wellness Path + Take Probiotics for many Wellness Benefits ABOUT My Wellness by Nature Board Member, Derrick DeSilva, Jr. MD Areas of Expertise: Internal medicine, functional medicine As a healer and a physician, I have always believed to extend my knowledge and intentions into the universal care of the patient. One of my favorite expressions is "The best of both worlds." The unity of the worlds of medicine from both the East and the West. Eastern medicine has existed for 5000 years while Western medicine although newborn has a great deal to offer. The essential key is to unite these two cultures and incorporate them in a safe and effective manner for the diagnosis and healing process of the patient. The primary words to this are safe and effective. Each patient is different and has a unique set of needs - in this case, one size does not fit all. As I strive to know my patients and access their individual health concerns and needs, a cooperative plan of care will be formulated. Ideally, each individual must be encouraged to be responsible for one's health. Once this concept is embraced, I will be able to assist each one in their road to better health.
