Pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. Among the best topical ingredients to keep skin looking healthy and youthful, he cited fat-soluble Vitamin C, retinol, and alpha hydroxy acid, which can also help with conditions like eczema, acne, and psoriasis. To combat depression, Fuchs suggested practicing gratitude and appreciation, which can activate the healing nervous system and bring more blood supply to the front part of the brain. When he has insomnia, Fuchs said he goes through a list in his head of all the things he's grateful for, which helps him fall asleep.

Bentonite clay is loaded with minerals and helps to detoxify the body, he reported. For weaning oneself off too much sugar in their diet, he recommended eating more protein and taking the supplement, glutamine, an amino acid. For those dealing with inflammatory pain from conditions like arthritis, Fuchs pointed out that some foods have inflammatory properties for certain people, so keep an eye out for which items might trigger this for you.
