Holiday Wellness
While the holidays are full of great food, fun, friends, family, and fellowship, if we're not careful, we run the risk of getting into some bad habits. We certainly don't want to discourage anyone from having that sumptuous piece of pie or a little bit more of the mashed potatoes and roast, but it might be a good idea to show some restraint. Go into the holidays with a plan and try to stick to it. Between family gatherings and office parties, we're bombarded with sugary sweet treats this time of year. A little bit is probably OK, but we should be aware of our limits.
Here are just a few tips for approaching holiday wellness. 1. Stick to one slice of pie or small helping of dessert. 2. Limit alcohol consumption. 3. Avoid over indulgences of any kind. Set limits and keep to them. 4. Try your best to eat all-natural foods and steer clear of the junk. Those junk ingredients can stick with you for awhile, are particularly hard on digestion, and are mostly just empty calories anyway. 5. Exercise! A few minutes of exercise before a big meal can really help to turn on your metabolism. 6. Get some rest. Holidays can be stressful. Don't overdo it, get the rest you need. Listen to your body when it's time to call it a day. Winter holidays are great, but they do come during a time of year when our immune systems can be challenged. A few precautions can keep us healthier moving into the new year.
Regenerative Farming | Get To Know Your Farmer
US Wellness farms raise animals the way nature intended - roaming green pastures, not confined to a feed lot. When you choose US Wellness as your farmer and online meat market, you can rest assured your food will contain NO antibiotics, NO pesticides, NO herbicides, NO GMOs, and NO added growth hormones. These additives and chemicals have absolutely no place in holistic farming. Our farms are committed to healing the land much like prominent ecologist, Allan Savory promotes in his popular Ted Talk.
Follow us into the pasture as new paddocks are opened and biodiversity takes shape on the farm.

Product Feature | GAPS - A Healing Diet For Body & Mind
Our modern world is awash in chemicals and food-like substances that wreak havoc on our health. And while these compounds can adversely affect any system in the body, it is your gut where the greatest impact occurs. As we deviate from our ancestral diet, the symbiotic relationships between microorganisms in our gut change. These changes can cause abnormal gut flora to proliferate. Read more from Kelley Herring about how a GAPS diet can help heal and seal the gut.
