Business Name For Natural Health Consulting?
My sister is starting a natural health consulting business that includes:
Holistic Nutrition
Natural Health
Naturopathy
Holistic Wellness
Herbal Colnsulting
Any ideas for a good business name and/or slogan? She is also studying to be a midwife and would eventually like to combine them into one practice. The best business name would later work for both, but sound great as long as she is just consulting.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sage Advice

February 28th, 2010 by admin

You rely on nutrition information to help you achieve your health goals Here are 20 top myths about nutrition that can help you weed out the good information from the bad.

1. All fats are bad.

Unsaturated fats like Omega-3s found in fish and monounsaturated fats found in olive oil, canola oil, nuts and avocados all aid in good health. Saturated fats from animal products and and trans-fats, partially hydrogenated oils, are the ones that should be used sparingly.

2. Eggs are bad.

It’s true that eggs have cholesterol and fat, but there is no evidence that the cholesterol in eggs raises bad cholesterol in blood and the fat in eggs is unsaturated.

3. Avoid carbohydrates.

The recent popularity of the Atkins and South Beach diets have given carbs a bad name. In reality complex carbohydrates found in whole grains and some vegetables are necessary requirements. They provide the body with energy and lots of nutrients.

4. Eat fat free or low fat foods and you won’t gain
weight.

A calorie is a calorie whether it’s full of fat or not.

5. Never eat after 8pm.

Again, a calorie is a calorie no matter what time of day it’s eaten, but remember the later you eat the less time you have to burn off those calories consumed.

6. Weight loss products and diet supplements
labeled “natural” or “herbal” are safe.

Not necessarily. Little or no testing is done on these products. Many herbs can react with medications
that are being taken for legitimate reasons. Check
with a doctor before taking these products.

7. Fresh produce is always better than frozen or canned.

Not always. If produce is frozen or canned immediately, the product can retain a lot of its vitamins and minerals. Fresh produce, if left in the air or sun too long, can loose some.

8. Becoming a vegetarian will help you loose weight.

Only if you make healthy vegetarian choices. Candy
and chips are still allowed on a vegetarian diet.

9. Honey is a better choice than sugar.

Honey and sugar are almost chemically indistinguishable.

10. Brown sugar is better nutritionally than white
sugar.

Brown sugar is white sugar with added molasses. It’s no better than plain white sugar.

11. Sugar can cause diabetes.

If you do not have diabetes, the amount of sugar you intake will not cause you to contract it. However, being overweight and inactive can lead to diabetes.

12. Skipping meals can help you loose weight.

When a body is hungry it goes into starvation mode and the metabolism slows down, lowering the rate at
which it burns calories.

13. Dairy products cause mucus.

This has recently been proven false. It’s no longer necessary to avoid milk or cheese when you have a cold.

14. Always avoid fast food restaurants.

Many fast food restaurants offer a limited amount of
healthy options such as salads with low fat
dressings and fruit. They are fine occasionally
if you’re in a hurry. Because even fast food is
better than no food at all.

15. Snacking makes you fat.

If you eat healthy snacks, they can actually help control your appetite. You’ll be less likely to binge on cookies and more likely to eat moderately at
meals.

16. Caffeine is an appetite stimulant.

There is no evidence that shows that caffeine stimulates the appetite.

17. Diet drinks will help you loose weight.

Without lowering the calories you consume and increasing your activity, diet drinks alone will do nothing. In fact the aspertame and artificial sweetners in diet drinks are more harmful than the sugar in non-diet sodas

18. 0 grams of trans-fat in a product means it’s
trans-fat free.

If you look at the ingredients and see partially hydrogenated oil, it still contains trans-fat, just not enough to be counted.

19. Foods like celery and grapefruit burn calories.

There is no food that burns calories.

20. You should never eat cookies, candy or cake.

Everyone needs a treat once in a while.

Most women and even men forget that hair products can actually help with the health of your hair. However most choose products based on how they make your hair look. For example hair shampoos can help with the protein structure of the hair but this only helps with the cosmetic portion of the hair and does nothing to actually help with the root of the hair and that it where the health of the hair starts. Most of the people that use brand name hair care do so at the advice of the hair stylist and while the stylist have a very good idea of what can make your hair look its best but are those products really best for your hair? The answer is that stylist don’t really know of good products when it comes to the healthy part of the hair growth cycle.

Hair grows in cycles and these cycles cause the hair to fall after about a 6 year growth cycle. This means that there are six healthy years of growth where the proper nutrition can help with the hair. So what is the proper nutrition for hair. You should be sure to start with amino acids and then with the b vitamins. Amino acids make up protein structures, which in turn make up the hair structure. So if you want healthier hair then the first component is the amino acid combination that you can feed the hair through the body or through the hair topically. This means that vitamins that are taken by mouth that are loaded with amino acids work very well as well as those that are applied directly to the hair. You can find vitamin shampoos and conditioners that have these amino acid combinations in them. They are very similar to most salon grade shampoos that leave hair very moisturized and ready for styling. If you are wanting something that acts like the name brands like Redken but has the amino acids that you need for healthy hair then try Healthy Hair Plus brand of products as we have a vitamin shampoo that uses over 20 different amino acids that are loaded into the shampoo. The shampoo also has herbal extracts in combination, which builds volume into the hair as well.

Another important aspect of healthy hair are the entire b group of vitamins and finding these in shampoos can be a vital component of getting your hair healthy again. These b vitamins are important for structuring the hair protein chains and this gets hair back into the process of growing healthy hair. We suggest that you search high and low for shampoos that are loaded with vitamins but you will have a hard time finding your grocery store and even salon grade shampoos that have the b group of vitamins. You will find that most grocery store shampoos are simply the surfactant, fragrance and a little bit of herbal extract. While they smell pretty they are simply stripping hair of vital nutrition that hair is desperate need of to get healthy again. While you may search for these shampoo and conditioners you will find that they are indeed worth it.

There is a process to healthy hair but if you pay attention to the correct listing of ingredients in products you will find that most products on the market do nothing for creating the health of your hair instead they strip it of vital components that hair is shouting for to keep it healthy. So here is exactly what you are not looking for in shampoos. Stay away from Sodium Laurel Sulfate. In our opinion sodium laureth sulfate is ok but laurel sulfate and ammonium laureth or laurel are both bad so we suggest staying away from them both. Sodium olefin and sodium laureth are not as bad as the others. You will also want to stay away from mineral oils and pertolatums on the scalp as well as drying alcohol that can be found in hair gels. It is almost impossible to stay away from alcohols in hair sprays. As matter of fact, unless you are using a pump hair spray then you will not be able to stay away from alcohol.

Im in a Surgical Technologist school and my teacher for anatomy and physiology has a doctorate in chiropractic and then also fitness and nutrition and stresses to us different herbal supplements that could help our bodies with little or no side effects unlike pharmaceutical drugs. But most medical doctors shun away from herbal supplements and do not believe in them. He stresses that he has help people with MS and many other medical problems with no other side effects and much faster time. If they really work (which makes sense to me) why don’t medical doctors use them more often. Is it because in medical school they where told that was the only right way and there ego is to big to change there mind ? Not saying all doctors are like that but some but what is your opinion on herbal and pharm drugs/supplements?

Doctors are drug pushers for Big Pharma and get kickbacks for writing prescriptions.
Most clinically tested herbal remedies don’t have patents, so Big Pharma doesn’t bother with them.

I would like to have more energy and mental focus when engaging in competitive sports. How can I best achieve that and gain that competitive edge with better nutrition?

When you exercise and engage in athletics you increase your body’s nutritional needs. You can gain an athletic competitive edge by nourishing your body’s cells at the cellular level so it can perform at its full potential. Provide it with superior nutrition and the output will also be superior.

I came across a great website: http://www.shopherbalife.com/rvillalta that provides cutting edge nutritional products that are used by world class athletes and teams to obtain optimum athletic performance. I tried the Core Products for Cellular Nutrition and the Energy & Fitness Products like Liftoff and H3O and I certainly noticed a big improvement in my energy levels and mental focus when I exercise and play sports. Big thanks to that website and I think those products will deliver exactly what you are looking for.
