I'm a big fan of berberine. It has natural pharmacological properties, including health-supportive effects on the immune system, metabolism, heart and gut health, blood and kidneys. In addition, it has antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory powers.

Most people know that zinc is important for a healthy immune system. But did you know that it also reduces menstrual pain? The research used 220 mg of zinc sulfate per day for this purpose. I personally also find it critical for keeping muscle cramps away. Organ meats and other red meats are highly bioavailable food sources of zinc. Check out the research on this topic here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Can't Sleep? Stop Watching the Clock. Watching the clock while trying to fall asleep exacerbates insomnia and the use of sleep aids, according to research. People are concerned that they're not getting enough sleep, then they start estimating how long it will take them to fall back asleep and when they have to get up is not helpful in the ability to fall asleep. Turn the clock around, cover it up, get rid of the smart watch or phone. Doing this will have a tremendous impact.

Sprouted grains have more available nutrients than mature grains. The germinating process breaks down starch, making the percentage of #nutrients higher. It also breaks down phytate, a form of phytic acid that decreases absorption of vitamins & minerals in the body. #health
