It’s National Diabetes Awareness Month!

November 9, 2016|Clinical Nutrition, Lifestyle, Medical, Rejuvena|0 Comments

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. Food will always be our best medicine, and this is particularly the case with diabetes. Early intervention can stop this potentially debilitating disease in its tracks by making only a few changes in an individual’s eating and lifestyle habits. It is important to note that diabetes is not, in fact, a disease of blood sugar, but it’s actually a disorder of insulin and leptin signaling.

Insulin regulation plays such as an integral role in your health and longevity, that elevated levels are not only symptoms of diabetes, but other diseases as well (heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, obesity, and cancer).

Foods to Avoid: Sweets, sodas, juices, breads, pasta, cereals, rice, potatoes, and corn. You may also want to avoid or restrict fruit consumption until your blood sugar gets under control.

Food Day is October 24th!

October 19, 2016|Food, Inspirational, Lifestyle, Rejuvena|0 Comments

Food Day inspires Americans to change their diets and our food policies. Every October 24th, thousands of events all around the country bring Americans together to celebrate and enjoy real food and to push for improved food policies.

October 24th is a day to resolve to make changes in our own diets and to take action to solve food-related problems in our communities at the local, state, and national level. This year’s theme is “Toward a Greener Diet.”

Why Food Day?

The typical American diet is contributing to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems. Those problems cost Americans more than $150 billion per year. Plus, a meat-heavy diet takes a terrible toll on the environment. Eating Real can save your own health and put our food system on a more humane, sustainable path.

The most important ingredient in Food Day […]

October is Breast Cancer Prevention Month

September 26, 2016|Clinical Nutrition, Lifestyle, Medical, Rejuvena|0 Comments

Breast cancer is caused by hereditary factors and lifestyle. Specifically, the primary causes of breast cancer are nutritional deficiencies, exposure to environmental toxicity, inflammation, and estrogen dominance and the resultant breakdown in genetic integrity and immune surveillance. Eating whole and unprocessed foods can decrease inflammation in the body and reduce the chances of developing breast cancer. Also, synthetic hormone replacement therapy has been indicated as causing elevated estrogen levels that are correlated with increased chance of breast cancer.

Signs to watch for:

Changes in breast tissue – it is important to check your breast tissue to identify any thickening or lumps

Nipple discharge or nipple inversion

Dimpling or indentation of the breast tissue

Enlarged lymph nodes in the armpits

Redness of the breast tissue

Thermography

As naturopathic physicians at Rejuvena, we’d prefer to focus on breast health and ways to […]

Tips on How to Participate in National Women’s Day

September 26, 2016|Lifestyle, Medical, Rejuvena|0 Comments

Wondering what to do to participate in this special day? Here are some ideas:

Try a new workout or sport – how about a spin class in the pool or a fun Zumba class? It’s always best to “change it up” for best results.

Get your thyroid checked – more common is a sluggish or hypothyroid functioning thyroid gland, but either way, this can negatively impact your concentration, mood, and weight.

Consume some “superfoods”! Broccoli, kale, apples, turnips – and other healthy foods you can find at your local farmer’s market.

Ask a friend to workout – working out with a pal can help you stay motivated and lose more weight than going solo.

Take a short nap – grab a power nap for 20 minutes as research indicates that proper rest and sleep is beneficial for your […]
