Boost Your Immune System This Winter In a Surprising and Natural Way! [you’ll love it]

Winter can do a real number on our health. We are all geared up to celebrate holidays and play in the snow, when out of nowhere, a bug will hit and there go our plans. (and it’s not like you can reschedule Christmas or New Years, right??)

Well we at Bayes, are all about keeping you healthy, so we’re going to help you out.

First of all.

Ginger. Eat it. Drink it. Diffuse it. Just get it into your life as much as possible! Not only does it boost the immune system, but if you happen to get struck with a headache or ill feeling, ginger comes to the rescue!

The truth is, ginger is anti-inflammatory, which makes it a valuable tool for pain relief. In 2001, research showed that ginger oil helped reduce knee pain in people with osteoarthritis. There was a study done where women athletes taking three grams of ginger or cinnamon daily (that's less than one teaspoon) had a significant decrease in muscle soreness.

Ginger has even been found to be as effective as ibuprofen in relieving pain from menstrual cramps in women. The pain-relieving potential of ginger seems to be so far reaching and we are only just beginning to understand it.  Along with help for muscle and joint pain, ginger has been found to reduce the severity of migraine headaches as well as some of the more well known migraine medications. Just mince a little of it up, mix with honey and swallow, or add to tea. It’s such a simple remedy!

Lastly, don’t make it worse! What do most people do on a regular basis that’s compromises the immune system? They flood their bodies with toxins.

Now, we aren’t interested in overwhelming you with too much, but here are some simple ways to reduce the toxins around and inside you so that you don’t make it worse.

Inside the body: Stay away from refined sugars. Sugar is like putting your defenses down and inviting illness to attack your vulnerability. Drink lots of water. Hydration flushes toxins. Eat your veggies. It’s true. The only wive’s tales actually have substance to them. Veggies feed your blood and body systems.

Outside the body: Sleep well. Get the hours you need so your body has the energy to defend itself. Dress Warmly. Let your body focus on being strong, not staying warm. Clean with non-toxic, organic cleaners. Regular cleaners have ingredients that attack your lungs and skin. The skin absorbs what’s on it and the liver has to process it. Do you want your liver busy processing toxic chemicals or supporting your endocrine system? Stay away from traditional candles and air fresheners. Most are filled with carcinogens and pollutants to your home (and lungs again.)

The best way to stay healthy is to live healthy. This may mean big or small lifestyle changes for you. But aren’t they worth it?

Aren’t you worth it?

We think so.

Don't Miss These Little Cleaning Tips that Make a Big Difference in Your Family's Health!

Is it hard to keep your house clean? Different factors like pets, children and busy lives can make house cleaning a challenge. But a dirty house is a breeding ground for germs and irritants. So let's take a preemptive strike and stay one step ahead of the game. Enjoy the info below and get the family on board. 

Little Cleaning Tips that Make a Big Difference in Your Family's Health!

Non-Toxic Products
Educate yourself and your family about the dangerous and safe ingredients. This is a great point to start with, because the toxic chemicals we clean with are such irritants to our health. They create allergies and aggravate them, compromise our sinus and respiratory system, while weakening our immune systems all together. (Ever notice the rise in how common it is for children to be congested?) As the safety and environmental impacts of conventional cleaning products become more thoroughly understood, more and more brands of healthy, green, and effective cleaning products have started hitting the market and competing for that coveted place of honor under your sink. Many of these products are non-toxic, biodegradable, and made from renewable resources (not petroleum).  Bayes knows the importance of this, which is why we do what we do!

Cleaner the Air in Your Home

It's surprisingly common to find that the air inside the home is more toxic than the air outside. It's because the toxins and substances that insulate homes (which is a good thing) are strong and being off gassed on a general basis. Keeping windows open as often as possible allows fresh air in and keeps toxins flowing out. This is especially important when cleaning your home.

Clean the Air Naturally
Skip the store-bought air fresheners and instead try boiling cinnamon, cloves, or any other herbs you have a fondness for. Fresh chocolate chip cookies also have been known to create a friendly aroma. Also, plants may not make your house smell different but are good for filtering interior air--pretty much any broad green leaf plant will do. Peace Lilies are a favorite choice.

Keep the Shoes Off
Imagine what's on your shoes at the end of the day. Everything from car oil, antifreeze, animal waste, pollution, pollen, (and who knows what else) into the house is especially common for kids and other critters that spend time on floor level. Keep the sidewalk out of your home with a good doormat and a shoeless house policy. Many green buildings now include entryway track-off systems as a means of maintaining a healthy interior environment. Less dirt also means less sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming, which means less work, water, energy, and fewer chemicals. You can do it!

Bayes decided to go into business out of a desire to meet the need that so many people are asking to be filled.  Our cleaning products are organic, non-toxic and gentle on the spaces in your homes. We encourage you to make small steps to big change in your home as you make your cleaning routine more green.

Using These Simple Living Tips Will Reduce Your Stress Greatly!

When life seems to hit you at every angle, it can be easy to cave under the stress.  Getting your kitchen cleaned may be the last thing on your mind. But at Bayes, while we lessen the stress on your health and home with our natural cleaning products, we do so because we know that you don't need extra things to be concerned about - you have enough on your plate.  So if you're ready to lighten your load, use these simple living tips to reduce your stress greatly. 

Stop multitasking.  

This first step is the simplest and best way to start reducing your stress, and you can start immediately. Clear your desk  or list of things to do that can distract you. Pick one thing to work on. Do only that. Remove distractions such as phones and email notifications while you’re working on that project. If you’re going to do email, do only that. This takes practice, and you’ll get urges to do other things. Just keep practicing and you’ll get better at it.

Simplify your time. 

A hectic schedule is a major cause of high stress. Simplify by reducing the number of commitments in your life to just the essential ones. Learn to say no to the rest — and slowly get out of commitments that aren’t beneficial to you. Schedule only a few important things each day, and put space between them. Get out of meetings when they aren’t absolutely essential. Leave room for down time and fun.

Move your body.

Do something each day to be active — walk, hike, play a sport, go for a run, do yoga. It doesn’t have to be grueling to reduce stress. Just move. Have fun doing it.

Develop one new healthy habit this month. 

Besides getting active, improving your health overall will help with the stress. But do it one habit at a time. Eat fruits and veggies for snacks. Floss every day. Quit smoking. Cook something healthy for dinner. Drink water instead of soda. Pick one and be devoted to it.

Calm down.

What do you enjoy that calms you down? For many people, it can be the “get moving” activity discussed above. But it could also be taking a nap, or a bath, or reading. Other people are calmed by housework or gardening. Some people like to meditate, pray or take a nature walk. Find your calming activity and really try to do it each day.

Have fun! 

Find ways to have fun each day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Play with children & play sports. Board games are fun. Whatever you choose, be sure to laugh.

Get creative. 

Throwing yourself into a creative activity is another great way to de-stress and to prevent stress. Writing can be wonderful, but others like to paint or play music or sketch or make pottery or do interior design or build things.

De-clutter and clean.

Take 20-30 minutes and just go through a room, getting rid of stuff you don’t use or need anymore. Look around at anything that’s cluttering up a room, and get rid of it or find a better place for it. Find an area of the home and deep clean it - set to a timer. When you're done, you'll have a peaceful, clear environment for work, play, and living. 

Bayes knows you don't need more things to do on your plate, which is why we suggest making things you DO have to do, simple, healthy and enjoyable.  This is the mission behind our organic cleaning products. We keep things real and good because you deserve it!
