The Green Medical Practice is dedicated to creating an atmosphere that restores the doctor/patient relationship. Green medicine starts with everyone’s personal environment; what we eat, drink, and take for medicine, what quality of air we breathe, how we connect with friend’s family and what kinds of places we choose to be and hang out. As we learn what promotes the best personal environment it quickly becomes obvious that the surrounding larger environment has direct impact on our ability to thrive in our personal life.

**💧3 Ways to Upgrade Your Water💧**

Winter can trick us into forgetting to hydrate—less sweat, less thirst cues, more hot coffee ☕️—but your body still needs fluids to support energy, digestion, immunity, and glowing skin. If plain water feels boring, here are easy ways to *level up* your hydration game:

**1. Infusions 🍋🥒🌿**
Add fruits, veggies, and herbs to your water to boost flavor *and* function. Infusing with lemon provides vitamin C and supports digestion, cucumbers add hydration and antioxidants, and herbs or teas contribute beneficial plant compounds. Infusions help extract vitamins and nutrients naturally—making water more enjoyable and easier to sip all day long.

**2. Electrolyte Mixes ⚡️**
A well-balanced electrolyte mix helps your body actually *use* the water you drink. Look for blends that include the key minerals: **sodium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, and potassium**. Together, these support fluid balance, muscle function, nerve signaling, and sustained energy—especially helpful during dry winter months when dehydration sneaks up fast.

**3. Mineral Drops 💎**
Enhance your water with mineral drops that contain **70+ ionic trace minerals**. These drops make it easy to support cellular hydration, enzyme function, and overall mineral balance. Think of them as a way to remineralize your water and give your body the building blocks it needs to thrive.

**4. Beyond H₂O 🥛🥥🍲**
Hydration isn’t just water! Drinks like **100% juices, whole milk, bone broth, and coconut water** provide fluids *plus* a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals. These options can be nourishing, comforting, and a powerful upgrade to everyday hydration.

💙 **Bottom line:** Cold weather doesn’t mean your hydration needs to disappear. Mix it up, add nutrients, and keep sipping—your body will thank you all winter long.

2. Regular intentional movement —> Stretching, walking the dog, Pilates class, 20 min of strength training with kettlebells in the basement, etc. Whatever your routine movement is, it’s a reset for your mental, emotional, and physical wellness - which is needed for this season!
❄️
3. Supportive supplementation —> Incorporating powerhouses like 🍊Vitamic C, 🐟Omega-3s like fish oil, and ☀️Vitamin D3 + K2 fortify your immune system. Studies show immense benefits from these 3 for fighting inflammation, improving cellular function, mobilizing white blood cells, and the list goes on.
AND these three supplements are easy to find - pick some up in our office next time you’re in the area or at your appointment with us!

Stay Healthy and Strong for a very Wonderful holiday season!

🛡️ **Strengthen Your Immune System with Herbal Teas** 🍵

Your immune system is your body's first line of defense, working tirelessly to protect you from harmful invaders. But with so many stressors during the holiday season, it could always use some extra support. A simple and soothing way to boost your immunity is by incorporating these powerhouse herbs into your tea routine:

🌿 **Echinacea** – This herb is well-known for its ability to help prevent infections and support your body’s natural defenses.

🌿 **Turmeric** – With its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric helps reduce inflammation and strengthens your immune response.

🌿 **Ginger** – A natural antioxidant, ginger helps improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and provide immune support.

🌿 **Cinnamon** – Packed with antioxidants, cinnamon can help fight off infections, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness.

🌿 **Peppermint** – Especially essential with all the respiratory stress going around right now - it is soothing and refreshing! Peppermint helps clear your airways and supports respiratory health, making it a great addition to your immunity-boosting tea.

Incorporating these herbs into your daily routine is a delicious way to nurture and support your immune system. 🍃 Remember, a healthy immune system is your first line of defense—keep it strong!
