After a couple of challenging years, staying healthy is more important than ever. That is why overall wellness is all about taking proactive steps that can help keep everyone safe and healthy. Dr. Jessica Shepherd, practicing physician and TV medical consultant, shared advice to help everyone stay healthy all year long.

HEALTHY HABITS 

Overall wellness comes in the form of transforming everyday routines into self-care rituals. Patients say that a nice, hot shower helps them relax, and Kohler's Statement Showering collection features new spray settings for a personalized wellness experience. Controlled by Anthem Digital, users can individually control spray settings and flow for up to six outlets and can set two different temperature zones, allowing for a customized wellness experience. There is also a cloud spray to swathe the body in a warm mist, a full-coverage rain spray, and a dense, wide sweep. For more information, visit Kohler.com.

COMBATING THE FLU

Experts are expecting this upcoming flu season to be severe. Clinical studies show that when taken at the onset, Oscillococcinum, or Oscillo for short, reduces the severity of flu-like symptoms such as body aches, headache, fever, chills, and fatigue. So be flu-ready this season by preparing in advance and having a flu survival remedy like Oscillococcinum on hand. Shorten the duration of sick days for the whole family. While Oscillococcinum cannot prevent people from getting the flu, it allows us to fight those symptoms before they get out of hand. For more information, visit www.oscillo.com.

STRENGTHENING SUPPLEMENTS

We often think of our immune system during the winter months; however, it is important to remember our heart and total cardiovascular system too. CocoaVia™ Cardio Health is a dietary supplement with a clinically proven ingredient, Cocoapro™ cocoa extract, that is scientifically shown to promote a strong heart and cardiovascular system. The extract is the most concentrated and proven source of cocoa flavanols, which are unique phytonutrients. CocoaVia™ is available in two formats and now through the end of October, you can get 20% off at CocoaVia.com using code FLAV20.
