Vitamin D is essential to support heart heath, optimal bone and teeth health, our immune system, muscle health and calcium absorption + utilization. Vitamin D also plays a role in mood regulation - so if you’re someone who feels “down” during the winter 😒, this post is for you!

☀️ Maintaining year-round healthy levels of vitamin D (or the sunshine vitamin) can be difficult when living in New England. During the warmer months, we typically spend more time outdoors, giving the body the sunlight it needs to trigger vitamin D production. But we aren’t synthesizing it the same way during the colder months of the year.

Though you can get some vitamin D from foods like fatty fish, eggs, cod liver oil, nuts and bananas, many of us aren’t reaching our optimal levels through our diets, and need to supplement during the fall/winter/early spring months in New England. (Swipe to see some of our favorite supplements for adults and children).

Pro tips: Vitamin D3 is usually combined with K2 - D3 helps the body absorb calcium while K2 gets it into the teeth and bones. They are also fat soluble vitamins, which means they need enough quality dietary fat for the body to absorb them (think avocado, olive oil, nuts and seeds, etc)

Some symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency are low mood/energy, frequent illnesses, fatigue, bone + muscle pain or general weakness.

Concerned about your vitamin D levels? Give us a call today to see how we can support you this season!

Back to school is right around the corner in New England, so it’s time to start building up those little immune systems! 🍎

Elderberry, vitamin D, and fish oil are all great supporters to prime the system as a preventative for those back to school germs 🦠

We have options for most ages - call the office today!

Is oil pulling part of your dental routine?

This simple technique packs oral health, detoxification and whitening benefits in three easy steps 😃

1 - Take a tablespoon of oil (coconut oil is our favorite because of it’s antimicrobial properties. Check out our PurO3 peppermint ozonated oil next time you’re in the office!)

2- Gently swish it around in your mouth for up to 20 minutes. Pro tip for newbies - start with five minutes and work your way up to 15-20 ✨

3 - Spit and rinse! (Don’t swallow the oil as it contains bacteria we are trying to eliminate. We recommend spitting oil into trash instead of the sink to avoid clogging the drain!)

Oil pulling reduces harmful bacteria in the mouth by drawing it out of the teeth and gums while simultaneously freshening your breath. By reducing bad bacteria, we can help prevent cavities and gum inflammation. Additional benefit - It’s also known to help remove stains over time when done regularly 🙌🏼

Castor oil packs are a traditional remedy to support our health in a variety of ways - and our favorite part? You can do it from the comfort of your own couch!

Used to support drainage pathways and detoxification, digestive health, and to relieve pain, this simple, time-honored method has been used for centuries.

So how do you use it? You simply apply some castor oil to the skin in the area you are treating, cover it with a pack to hold in the heat, and let the oil absorb into the skin and get to work!

Castor oil packs are known to support:

- Detoxification process by stimulating the lymphatic system allowing the body to remove waste and toxins more readily
- Digestion by supporting the liver and promoting more regular bowels
- Pain relief due to the oil being derived of the anti-inflammatory ricinoleic acid
-Skin health by moisturizer and promoting healing
- Sleep by promoting a natural sense of relaxation and calm

Is it just us? Or is everyone loving these simple, fresh, lighter meals through these warm summer months?

Throw your favorite protein, veggies and even fruits on the grill for an easy, 15-minute dinner at the end of the day 🥗

From all of us here at Seacoast NHIC, we wish you a happy, healthy and safe Independence Day ✨ May your day be filled with family, friends, fireworks and fun!

In observance of Memorial Day, the offices will be closed on Monday, 5/27.

If you need any supplements, please contact the office before end of day Thursday, 5/23!

It’s Taco Tuesday!

🌮 Instead of grabbing a pouch of Taco seasoning at the store, check your spice cabinet - you may have all you need to make your own! (And skip the seed oils and sweeteners hidden in many of these store bought seasoning pouches)

Homemade Taco Seasoning

3 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp cumin
1 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 Tbsp sea salt
3/4 tsp black pepper

Mix all ingredients together and store them in an airtight container. They’ll be safe to eat for Taco Tuesdays for months!

Use 3 Tablespoons of the mixture per pound of meat. Once meat is browned, stir in seasoning and 1/3 cup of water and allow to simmer until water has cooked out.

Enjoy!

The Zerona Z6

**What is it?**
A non-invasive, cold laser for stubborn fat loss and body contouring.

**How does it work?**
Six adjustable laser heads target specific areas of stubborn fat. The lasers create a temporary pore in the targeted fat cells, allowing them to empty and drain through the lymphatic system.

**Why we love it?**
It’s an alternative to medications and other fat loss treatments with no adverse side effects or damage to the cells themselves. It simply creates a pore in the fat cell, allowing it to drain through the lymphatic system.

**How long before I see results?**
Many people see some difference in just one or two treatments, but we recommend 6 visits for maximized results on a targeted area.

**How do I prep for an appointment?**
Bring/wear clothing that will allow for the targeted area to be exposed to the laser, but keep the areas not wanting to be treated covered (most men are treated in athletic shorts or a bathing suit and women in two piece bathing suit or undergarments).

**What should I expect afterwards?**
Resume activities normally! There is no down time after a Zerona Z6 appointment. The pores in the fat cells will remain open for several days, so you will want to keep that lymph moving! Dry brushing, staying hydrated, exercises like rebounding, yoga, swimming, walking and dancing will all help to move and drain the lymphatic system. Moving the lymph combined with a clean diet will allow the fat cells to drain the excess.

**Have any questions or want to book an introductory session?**
Call the office today at 603.601.2188
