Inspiring a Healthy Lifestyle

We all would like to start the New Year on the right foot. Listen to your heart, slow down and remember to live your truth. “Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one!” – Brad Paisley

Here’s some good advice from Dr. Robert Rakowski of the Natural Medicine Center in Auston, Texas: “Live right, think right, eat right, exercise and drink right.” For more information on Dr. Rakowski, check out his website https://www.drbobrakowski.com/.

2023 Recommendations for a Healthy New Year from Woolly Petals owner and health product expert, Ed Ball:

According to Ed Ball, owner of Woolly Petals, a local health distributor, gift shop and florist on Main Street in Blairstown, “No disease lives in a healthy body with a healthy immune system. An herbalist told me 90% of diseases start in your head and your emotional body.”

A positive mindset and stable emotional outlook can ward off negative health issues and promote a happier lifestyle in general and create an overall better community experience.

“Ninety percent of colon cancer is due to a poor diet of eating fats, processed foods and meats all day,” Ball said. “Change the diet to healthy fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains and see what happens.”

Woolly Petals is currently moving to the mall on Route 94 in Blairstown that currently houses Tractor Supply Co. Follow them on Facebook as they will be opening their new store mid-January.

Ball recommends Wellness N-A-Cetin as a staple for your immune arsenal. It promotes a healthy anti-inflammatory response and antioxidant support, which are both intimately linked with immune and respiratory health. Plus, it offers high potencies of zinc and vitamins C and D3, which support the production and stamina of critical immune cells. Recommended one tablet with each meal.
