MATT FRASER TIPS FOR A HEALTHY LIFE BY THE HEALTHY Life NATUROPATH BJ Mc Dean 3 Easy Steps to Improve Your Mood • Try to get some sunshine every day. Aside from Vitamin D deficiency, lack of sunlight can effect your mood and energy as sunlight stimulates the pineal gland which plays a role in regulating the release of happy hormones. So if you work indoors all day, try and eat lunch outside, or you could take a walk or just watch the ocean before or after work. Even 5 minutes is better than nothing.

Forgetting to filter the chlorine and fluoride out of town water means our livers will have to work harder to do it for us. You wouldn’t drink swimming pool water so why drink a diluted version of it. An overworked liver will have you waking up feeling unrefreshed and grumpy. • Get A Massage! Massage is highly underrated as a therapeutic tool and can work wonders for putting an instant smile on your face. Not only does it help release pain and tension, it stimulates circulation of chi and blood through the body which leave you feeling invigorated and relaxed all at the same time.
