So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. - 1 Corinthians 10:31

The leaves are starting to change and the tempera-

tures are dropping. It’s time to prepare for winter.

Just as you take steps to prepare your car for win-

ter, you need to take steps to prepare your body for winter.

Routine Maintenance

Throughout the year, you take care to keep your car in good

working order. You keep it filled with gas, replace filters as

needed, rotate the tires, and change the oil regularly.

In the same way, you need to take care of maintaining your

body. Part of what I recommend for routine maintenance is

taking a good multivitamin at least twice a day. It is much

more difficult in today’s day and age to get the vitamins and

nutrients from your diet that your grandparents were able to

get. Therefore, you must supplement your diet with a multivi-

tamin. Think of it as fuel for your body.

I also recommend you take a probiotic everyday. Probiotics

help your digestive system to function optimally by building

the good bacteria in your gut—where 80% of your immune

system is located. A healthy intestine is supposed to have bac-

teria in it. The friendly bacteria, better known as “probiotics”

enable you to defend against harmful bacteria.

Probiotics serve a variety of other beneficial functions as well.

They manufacture many essential vitamins, help you digest

foods (especially lactose), help contribute to regular and

healthy bowel movements, reduce fat and cholesterol in your

blood, block the spread of yeast infections and some potent

viruses, and may block tumor development in your intestine.

When taking antibiotics, you kill the good bacteria along with

the bad! Once the good flora is gone, it is hard to replenish

without supplementation. As a result, you may come down

with a secondary infection. If you’re taking an antibiotic it’s

even critical you take a probiotic.

Recent research suggests that you should change your probi-

otic every three months. This rotation ensures your body gets

the most benefit from the strands within each probiotic. Two

great probiotic products we offer are Ultimate Flora Max 30

Billion and Ortho Molecular’s Ortho Biotic.

Another supplement I recommend for routine maintenance is

Vitamin D3. In the summer, you get a higher quantity of Vita-

min D while you spend time in the sun. As you move indoors

for the winter months, your Vitamin D levels suffer. In fact,

some researchers feel there is a correlation to the lower levels

of Vitamin D and the peak of flu season.

I recommend taking 5,000iu per day during the winter

months. The good news is that Vitamin D3 is quite affordable

and small enough to make it easy to take. Country Life’s Vi-

tamin D3 5000iu is just 22¢ per day.

Winterizing

As you move into the

winter months, you take

precautions to winterize

your car. You replace the

antifreeze, check the bat-

tery knowing cold

weather is hard on batter-

ies, and ensure your tires

have sufficient tread re-

placing tires as needed.

The same should be true

for taking precautions for

your body. Here’s the

steps I recommend.

Start with a flu shot. This

is the number one recommendation by the CDC to avoid get-

ting the flu. We offer flu shots at Norland Avenue Pharmacy

during business hours without an appointment. Our regular

cash price is $35, but Norland Rewards members save $10

and pay only $25. We will also bill insurance or Medicare as

applicable. See page two for details on our upcoming Flu Shot

Clinic on October 14th.

I also recommend that you prepare your body for winter by

taking a product from our Norland Avenue Pharmacy line:

Immune Health Support. Immune Health Support is a com-

prehensive formula that provides essential vitamins and min-

erals for general nutrition support, and a generous supply of

specialty agents specifically designed for immune wellness.

The synergistic combination of ingredients in Immune Health

Support helps provide an ideal environment for optimal im-

mune function.

This product includes vitamins C, A, B-6, B12 and folic acid

and minerals like zinc which play an essential role in the im-

mune response. Echinacea helps “activate” the immune sys-

tem and stimulate certain immune cells that are critical to

maintaining overall health. It also helps keep the respiratory

system healthy when challenged, particularly during winter

months. For best results, take two capsules three times daily.

A bottle of Immune Health Support sells for $30.80.

If you have any questions about how to prepare your body for

winter, please stop by the pharmacy and talk to any of our

pharmacists or supplement specialists.

Biblical Health Tip…

WARNING: Being Foolish is Harmful

to Your Health

Psalm 107:17—Some became fools through their rebellious

ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities.

Some illnesses are the direct result of rebellious, foolish

acts. Many people, without thinking of the consequences,

indulge their passions with no restraint. As a result they

may experience drunkenness, obesity, stress brought on by

debt, broken homes, and even sexually transmitted diseases.

Here is a remedy for the foolish…

Psalm 107:20-22—He set forth his word and healed them;

he rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the

Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.

Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with

songs of joy.

Patient: Doctor! Doctor! I think I swallowed a spoon.

Doctor: Just sit patiently and try not to stir.

Q. Why did the golfer take an extra pair of pants when he went golfing?

A. In case he got a hole in one.

Q. What did one stop light say to the other?

A. Don’t look, I’m changing!
