Health Coach Tip - Indoor Plants for Better Health

Health Coach Tips

Indoor plants do more than just look pretty. Certain plants can actually help improve the air quality and bring a bright, uplifting energy to your indoor space. Get to the nearest nursery and get your green on!

Plants absorb the gases through pores on their leaves, leaving cleaner air for you to breathe.

NASA actually did a study to find out which plants best filter the air of their space stations. The list includes common plants such as English Ivy, Peace Lily, Bamboo and Spider Plant. Get a spider plant baby from a friend and start cleaning the air in your home now.

I am a big proponent of health-promoting therapies and two of the ones I’m now regularly using in my practice are red light therapy and methylene blue. The extraordinary benefits of combining the red and the blue, two modalities which, in different ways, both stimulate the powerplants inside our cells, the mitochondria, with the result that the body has more healing energy on tap. Each therapy enhances the other, creating a synergistic effect that I like to call, 1 plus 1 equals 3. Or, combine and conquer! Here are my thoughts on how to put them both to work for you.

7 Reasons Why You Need More Protein for Anti-Aging – and 6 Ways to Get Yours

Just about every day patients ask me how they can age well, or at minimum, do it better than their parents and grandparents did -- and the good news is that many of them can! As the biology of aging has evolved over the past few decades, we now know so much more about how to help our bodies age more slowly, in better health, than ever before. Granted, we’ve not quite figured out how to stop aging but there are a number of steps we can take, starting now, to get into a slower aging groove. One of the biggies is protein. While it may not seem like an obvious clock-stopper, as we age, increasing protein intake becomes especially important – and a lot of people overlook this relatively simple, longevity upgrade.
