Flu Season

Expert Offers 10 Tips for Families to Stay Well this Flu Season                                  

And the symptoms are unmistakable when they hit - fever, chills, body aches and pains.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 20% of the population gets the flu on average every year.  Although common, it's not to be taken lightly; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized and approximately 36,000 people die from flu complications.

Cincinnati-based clinical pharmacist James B. LaValle, RPh, founder of LaValle Metabolic Institute and author of Cracking the Metabolic Code, encourages everyone to use these 10 tips this season to stay well.



Why Change Your Diet?

In your lifetime, you will consume approximately 70,000 meals. The foods you choose can either build up your health or tear it down. Nutrition impacts what diseases you may or may not get, and optimizing your health and preventing disease is the best reason to make smart food choices. But let’s forget about that momentarily. How do you feel right now?

  • Do you get tired after you eat or react to certain foods?
  • Do you feel bloated and distended?
  • Do you suffer from chronic constipation or diarrhea?
  • Do you notice that you just can't seem to make food choices that are consistent?
  • Do you bounce from diet to diet with out understanding why they work for a short time?
     

Making good food choices can impact the way you feel, immediately. If you’re like most the people: You skip breakfast, eat a fast food lunch and then overeat from dinnertime on. And you use coffee or caffeine to get you through the day. To top it off, every year the scale moves up and your energy goes down. But there is hope, changing your eating habits can change the day to day frustration of erratic energy and inconsistent eating. How do you turn this around? The Metabolic Code teaches you important principles to help you feel better now and make selections that will pay off in your future.

Testimonials

This has been the most nurturing, supportive environment to feel safe and get a healthier lifestyle. I became involved not for the weight loss but education of my nutrition system – especially the gut, liver and kidney function.  I have learned much and improved my eating habits as well as knowledge.  This has been a great experience – healthy, knowledge and support wrapped up in a nice little package. R.P.

When I was asked to write a testimonial about the changes in my health/life, I couldn’t pick up my pen fast enough!  I’ve lost 45 pounds and 2 sizes in 6 months.  I have so much energy and I can think clearly now.  My blood sugar has come down and my food cravings are almost nonexistent!  The MCD program and the supplements have made a difference.  This is a better way of life and I enjoy living so much now.  Thanks LaValle Metabolic Institute!!

Nutrient Depletions

Many of the top 100 drugs prescribed in the United States have been shown to deplete a variety of nutrients.

For instance, did you know that the HMG-Co A reductase inhibitors Lipitor, Mevacor, Pravachol, and Zocor, as well as the beta blockers, Toprol, and Lopressor, all deplete coenzyme Q10, a nutrient essential to ATP production in cellular mitochondria? It has also been demonstrated that both oral and inhaled corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, Prednisone, Azmacort, Flonase, and Serevent, deplete several important minerals, folic acid, and vitamins C and D. The popularly prescribed histamine agonists Pepcid, Tagamet, and Zantac can deplete folic acid, B vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin D.
