Chelan Wilkins, RHN Formateur de l’Éducation Nationale Comme nous nous trouvons à atteindre pour ces foulards, vestes de laine et bottes d’hiver, nous nous trouvons également entouré par la saison du froid et de la grippe redouté. Malheureusement, comme le temps se déplace dans les mois les plus froids, l’épidémie de maladie commencent à augmenter! Il devient très courant pour les milieux de travail de voir une augmentation des « jours de maladie » et les niveaux de stress s’accumulent pour tenir compte du manque de travail commencent à s’installer. Alors, comment pouvons-nous rester en bonne santé pendant la saison du « rhume et de la grippe », surtout au travail? Voici quelques conseils! Tout d’abord, parlons de l’endroit où la majorité de notre système immunitaire réside! 70% de notre système immunitaire est situé dans notre tube digestif! C’est fou, non ? Donc, quand nous parlons de maintenir notre immunité, nous devrions vraiment nous concentrer sur notre système digestif et les aliments que nous mangeons! Beaucoup de gens souffrent de troubles digestifs, mangent une mauvaise alimentation, boivent trop de café, boivent de l’alcool et souffrent de stress élevé! Ce sont tous des facteurs contributifs pour avoir un tube digestif faible - « intestin qui fuit », IBS et même IBD ( Chrohns, Colite, ). C’est la « onne bactérie » qui réside dans nos intestins qui maintient les insectes à l’écart, et si nous avons un système immunitaire compromis, les bactéries peu bénéfiques laisse une fenêtre pour notre système immunitaire à tomber et les bactéries à mettre en! Cela conduit à une faible immunité et une augmentation de la maladie au cours de ces saisons. Lorsque nous nous trouvons entourés par la maladie, le stress et même dans des endroits très peuplés qui ont une grande quantité de « germes » comment pouvons-nous nous protéger contre la maladie et maintenir notre immunité? Voici quelques-unes de mes recommandations pour rester en bonne santé: Nutrition: Tout ce que nous mangeons joue un rôle dans notre corps positivement ou négativement! S’assurer que nous mangeons des aliments riches en nutriments remplis de nos vitamines et minéraux essentiels aidera certainement à nous protéger contre la maladie et ces non désirés « jours de maladie ». Il est essentiel de manger beaucoup de légumes verts feuillus foncés remplis de nos vitamines B essentielles, aux côtés d’aliments riches en vitamine C tels que les fruits (oranges, baies, pamplemousses). Si vous pouvez manger bio, je recommande fortement de les avoir! Les fruits et légumes biologiques vous assurent d’obtenir ces vitamines et minéraux essentiels. J’aime aussi suggérer d’obtenir suffisamment de graisses saines, pour réduire l’inflammation dans notre corps et de nous donner une énergie durable! Réduire la consommation de sucre : La consommation de sucre a été montré pour supprimer notre système immunitaire pendant jusqu’à 8 heures après l’ingérer! Lorsque nous consommons beaucoup de sucre dans notre alimentation, il diminue naturellement notre immunité permettant aux virus et aux bactéries de le mettre. Cela inclut tous les sucres provenant de bonbons, de bonbons et d’alcool. Lavez-vous les mains : On nous a tous dit de nous laver les mains après les toilettes avant de manger, etc. Cependant, nous devrions toujours essayer de nous laver les mains après avoir utilisé des poignées de porte, éternuer, tousser et serrer la main avec les autres! Les germes se propagent si rapidement, et dans un grand environnement comme un lieu de travail, il peut être encore pire! Prenez vos pauses et prenez l’air frais : Je ne peux pas insister sur l’importance de l’air frais. Prendre vos pauses, re-grouper et sortir dans l’air frais non seulement efface votre esprit, mais il aide également à soulager le stress et purifier vos poumons! Supplémentez votre système immunitaire : J’aime aider mon système immunitaire pendant la saison du rhume et de la grippe en ajoutant quelques soutiens supplémentaires! Quelques-uns de mes favoris sont les suivants: Probiotiques: Ceux-ci aident à soutenir le système immunitaire avec des bactéries saines qui combattent contre diverses mauvaises bactéries et soutiennent notre système immunitaire! Ils sont essentiels dans notre immunité. Vitamine C: La vitamine C est connue depuis des années pour maintenir notre système immunitaire stimulé, aider à combattre la maladie ainsi que de raccourcir le temps de récupération du rhume! Pycnogenol: Cette centrale a des propriétés curatives remarquables dans le corps, ainsi qu’un antioxydant puissant! Il se lie aux radicaux libres dans le corps, réduisant ainsi l’inflammation et le stress oxydatif ! Bouillon d’os: Il ya beaucoup d’avantages à consommer du bouillon d’os surtout quand nous ne nous sentons pas bien! Il a été montré pour augmenter notre fonction immunitaire, raccourcir le temps des infections des voies respiratoires supérieures et aider à l’immunité dans notre tube digestif. Dormir: Le sommeil est si critique quand il s’agit de ce que nous ressentons! Notre corps a besoin de jusqu’à 8 heures de sommeil par nuit! Lorsque nous ne dormons pas assez, cela fait diminuer son immunité à notre corps. La privation de sommeil à long terme finira par entraîner des maladies et d’autres maladies. Notre corps fait toute sa guérison pendant que nous dormons, il est donc vital de maintenir notre routine de sommeil et d’obtenir au moins 8 heures de sommeil ininterrompu.

The Key to Hydration and RecoveryA fun night out can sometimes come with an unwelcome companion the next morning: a hangover. The headaches, fatigue, and nausea that follow are usually the result of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. But don’t worry, the solution is simple—replenishing your body with electrolytes can make a big difference in how quickly you recover. What Causes Hangovers? Hangovers are a result of multiple factors, but dehydration and electrolyte loss play a huge role. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases the frequency of urination, causing your body to lose water and essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium (thankfully Organika’s electrolytes contain all of these minerals we lose). This dehydration leads to the dreaded symptoms of a hangover: headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and dry mouth. How Do Electrolytes Help? Electrolytes are minerals that your body needs to regulate hydration, nerve function, and muscle contractions. When you drink alcohol, you deplete these essential minerals, making it harder for your body to function and recover. By replenishing lost electrolytes, you can restore your body’s natural balance and help alleviate the severity of a hangover. One of the main issues with drinking plain water after a night out is that while it hydrates, it doesn’t contain the minerals needed to replenish what your body has lost. This is where electrolyte beverages come in—they provide the right balance of fluids and minerals that help your body rehydrate more effectively. What Does the Science Say? Research has shown that electrolyte drinks are more effective than water in restoring hydration levels, especially after intense physical activity or in hot environments where sweating causes significant fluid loss. The same principles apply to hangovers, as alcohol leads to similar fluid and electrolyte depletion. According to Lindinger (2024), sweating is one of the body’s main mechanisms for thermoregulation, and it leads to a significant loss of electrolytes that need to be replaced continuously to maintain hydration. Effective oral electrolyte supplementation helps replace these lost electrolytes in proportion to fluid loss, preventing imbalances and promoting proper hydration. This makes electrolyte drinks far more effective than water in terms of both rehydration and restoring electrolyte concentrations. Moreover, a study by Ilyas et al. (2018) found that electrolyte beverages improve hydration status and electrolyte levels more effectively than plain water, particularly in hot environments. So, just as you might rely on an electrolyte solution after a workout, your body needs the same kind of help after a night of drinking. Electrolytes for Hangovers: A Simple Fix When alcohol causes you to lose fluids and electrolytes, it disrupts your body’s balance. Electrolytes help with: Hydration: Sodium and potassium help your body retain and absorb the water you drink, making rehydration faster and more efficient. Muscle function: Magnesium and calcium support muscle recovery and can help ease the muscle aches sometimes associated with hangovers. Energy levels: Potassium and sodium balance out blood pressure and maintain nerve function, helping you feel more alert and less fatigued.

Additionally, Suhayda & Walton (2002) highlight the role of healthcare professionals in managing fluid and electrolyte imbalances, particularly in older adults. Understanding the mechanisms of fluid homeostasis is critical for assessing and managing different types of dehydration, including isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic dehydration. While the research may focus on dehydration from other causes, the principles of fluid and electrolyte balance are the same when it comes to hangovers. How to Use Electrolytes for Hangover Recovery To maximize the benefits of electrolytes, timing is key. Here's a simple guide: Before Bed: After a night of drinking, hydrate with an electrolyte drink before going to sleep. This helps to replenish some of the fluids and electrolytes lost and prepares your body for recovery overnight. In the Morning: Start your day with another electrolyte drink to jumpstart rehydration and help reduce the severity of your symptoms. Throughout the Day: Continue sipping electrolyte-rich beverages to keep your body hydrated and balanced as it recovers. Choosing the Right Electrolyte Drink It’s important to choose an electrolyte solution that doesn’t add extra stress to your body. Some drinks are loaded with added sugars, artificial colors, and preservatives, which can make hangovers worse. Instead, go for clean, natural electrolyte drinks that focus on providing the essential minerals—sodium, potassium, and magnesium—without the unnecessary additives. Try Organika’s on-the-go sachets that are convenient for an active lifestyle. At Organika, we offer natural, effective electrolyte powders that replenish your body with the key minerals it needs to bounce back from dehydration. Our clean ingredients help ensure you get the best rehydration without the junk. Conclusion: Electrolytes for Fast Recovery While hangovers may not have a one-size-fits-all cure, electrolytes play a crucial role in speeding up recovery by helping you rehydrate and restore balance. By replenishing your electrolyte levels, you can feel better faster and get back to your day feeling refreshed. So, next time you wake up after a night out, skip the plain water and reach for an electrolyte drink—it just might be your hangover hero.

We tend to associate spring with cleaning; as if the winter created stagnation and some sort of mess. For many people, the need to clean up the outside also means they want to "clean up" the inside. But is a juice cleanse or boxed detox really what your body needs? I find that with my years of experience in health and wellness, so many individuals associate spring with a need for a cleanse. There are trends on social media, and in your health food stores pushing detoxes. It can be products, supplements, or the latest eating trends. There are so many options on the market to assist with spring cleaning, it might be difficult to know where to begin or what works best for you. Spring cleaning can mean so much more than a two-week cleanse. It can also be mental/emotional, as well as physical. There are a lot of ways that you can ‘spring clean’ in a gentler fashion that will allow you to take these new habits and incorporate them into your daily life. Here are four ways to gently regenerate and cleanse your physical body:  1. Sweat! Our skin is our largest organ, and sweating is one of the best ways our body eliminates waste products. Sweating is a great way to eliminate environmental toxins, heavy metals, and BPAs! Scientists are able to measure these compounds from human sweat, showing that this is by far one of the more superior ways to rid unwanted toxins from our body. So, find yourself a sauna and/or work up a sweat. Get your system moving and get cleaning; all the while enjoying the added benefits of exercise and relaxing saunas! 2. Try herbal teas. Adding a gentle tea to your daily routine, such as nettle or dandelion tea, can be a great way to get a gentle cleanse. Our liver is one of the most important organs for detoxing and eliminating waste! It is constantly active and working nonstop to keep harmful chemicals from entering your blood stream. The liver can benefit from supporting herbs such as dandelion, nettle, and milk thistle as they work to improve the liver’s ability to breakdown toxins by getting your liver in top shape! These herbs are easily accessible, and you can readily find a variety of herbal tea formulas in your local health food store. 3. Buy yourself a dry body brush. These are affordable and do wonders for your skin! They help to stimulate your lymphatic system, which is a major body network that is responsible for ridding your body of unwanted toxins and waste. Dry brushing is something you can do daily. Start from the bottom of your feet and work your way up to your chest. Apply light pressure, and always use a circular motion upwards. Finding videos on how to properly dry brush is easily accessible on YouTube. 4. Eat more fiber and hydrate! Fiber from fruits and vegetables will get one of your VERY important detox systems moving well. You guessed it: your bowels. If you do not have a daily bowel movement, your cleaning system may be a little sluggish. Along with eating adequate amounts of fruits and veggies, you can try adding one or two tablespoons of ground flax to your breakfast, lunch or dinner. Remember: it is always important to drink enough water to help flush everything out. You need to be well hydrated in order for your bowels to function properly. Drinking enough good, clean water, along with adequate amounts of healthy fiber, will help aid in removing waste from your body.   So before you go reaching for those expensive weight loss teas, juice cleanses, or boxed detoxes, try adding a few of these tricks to your daily routine to see if it helps!
