Pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. Fuchs is also an advocate of such things as exercise and deep breathing to increase well-being. It's important to breathe through the nose rather than the mouth so that you can take advantage of the built-in filtering system provided by the nasal passages, he said, and by breathing into the bottom of the belly, the diaphragm expands out and "you're activating all kinds of relaxing neurology." Rather than being dependent on mainstream medical treatments, "given the right basic building blocks, the body can do its work," he added.
Regarding liver spots (also called age spots), these dark areas are not on the skin's surface and thus harder to remove. He said they're caused by the build-up of cellular waste or debris, and the key to reducing them is to clean out the lymphatic system. Exercise such as on a mini-trampoline, or dry brushing the skin helps to drain out the system, Fuchs suggested. The body's cholesterol serves essential functions for healing, growth, and the immune system, but if it accumulates to an elevated level, he recommended reducing sugar intake, and taking such supplements as niacin, selenium, and EFA.
