Improve Your Health By Improving Your Mood

At The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy and Wellness Center, our number one goal is to help our clients lead healthier, happier lives - and as it turns out, the two often go hand-in-hand. Studies have proven that depression, anger, and other negative emotions can drain the adrenal system and lower the immune system, making you more susceptible to the flu, cold, or other illnesses. By boosting your mood, you may be able to strengthen your immune system and improve your overall health. The team at our Lake of the Ozarks pharmacy is here to help with these quick tips for boosting your mood.

1. Step Outside
Thanks to its grounding effects, spending time outdoors has a remarkable effect on the mood. It also offers several direct health benefits, such as increasing Vitamin D levels, promoting exercise, and lowering high heart rates.

2. Spend Time With People You Love
Feeling connected to a community also has a hugely positive effect on the mood. Whether your community is your biological family, your friends, your neighborhood, your co-workers, or your volunteer group, make it a point to spend some time with the people you care about this holiday season.

3. Be Grateful

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, now is the perfect time to reflect on the things you are grateful for. By focusing on gratitude, you will have less time (and mental energy) to dedicate to negative or stressful thoughts that can dampen your mood.

4. Give Hugs
Hugging does more than boost your mood - it increases levels of oxytocin and has been shown to have real, factual health benefits. According to Mercola, one study showed that giving a 10-second hug every day helps fight infections, lower risk of heart disease, alleviate fatigue, reduce stress, boost the immune system, and more.

5. Limit Your Commitments
It's time to learn to say "no." The holiday season often gets incredibly busy, and all that busyness typically leads to increased stress levels. Allow yourself the freedom to say no to commitments that would be unnecessarily stressful. 

6. Look On The Bright Side
There is a reason that this famous adage has stood the test of time. Changing your frame of reference to focus on the positive side of things legitimately does help you feel happier in the long run. If you're willing to look hard enough, you'll find that there is a positive aspect to nearly every situation.

7. Make A Furry Friend
Animal lovers are on to something - studies have shown that petting and playing with a dog or cat (even for as little as 15-20 minutes per day) has been shown to have a fantastic effect on the mood. Why not use this research as an excuse to get a new furry friend?

Stress levels tend to rise during the holidays, so as we move into the holiday season it is more important than ever to take the time to balance (and improve) your mood. We hope that you find these suggestions helpful! Improving your mood is an important part of staying healthy, but taking immune-boosting supplements can also be incredibly helpful. Stop by our compounding pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO to pick up your supply of over-the-counter immune boosters today!

Optimizing Men's Health At The Lake

At The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy, we talk a lot about helping our clients maintain optimum health. While the majority of our clients are women, we offer many services that are specifically geared towards male clientele. Since June is National Men's Health Month, and this week (June 13-19) is International Men's Health Week, we decided to dedicate this week's blog to discussing some of the unique services we offer for men in our area.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Women aren't the only ones who go through major hormonal shifts as they age. Most men begin going through andropause after age forty, at which point their testosterone levels will gradually drop throughout the rest of their lives. These changing hormone levels can result in several symptoms, including:

• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Sexual Challenges

Like women, aging men who receive bioidentical hormone therapy at the Lake of the Ozarks often see dramatic improvements in their physical and emotional states. To learn more about BHRT and how it may be able to ease your symptoms of andropause, contact our pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO.

Deep Tissue Massage & CranioSacral Therapy

Whether from their careers, hobbies, or household chores, many men perform strenuous physical tasks on a fairly regular basis. Staying active is good for maintaining strength and overall health, but performing too many strenuous tasks can begin to take its toll on the body. It's important for men to give their bodies time to relax, recover, and rejuvenate before moving on to the next project. Our licensed massage therapist at the Lake of the Ozarks is skilled in two distinct practice areas that may benefit men in these situations:

• Deep Tissue Massage is excellent for digging down and working the deeper muscles, tendons, and tissues of the body that may have become strained due to physical over-exertion. An experienced therapist should be able to listen to your body's signals and work the areas most in need of assistance, thus helping to alleviate chronic muscle pain.
• CranioSacral Therapy is very different from deep tissue massage in that it utilizes a very light touch of often no more than 5 grams (approximately the weight of a nickel). This light pressure allows the therapist to work without the body putting up any of the defenses that sometimes come in conjunction with heavier pressure. A skilled therapist should be able to use CranioSacral Therapy to identify and treat the true causes of pain to achieve optimum results, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Remember The Lime For All Of Your Health-Related Needs!

Bioidentical hormone therapy, massage therapy, and CranioSacral Therapy are simply a few of the services we offer to men in our area. Our compounded medication at the Lake of the Ozarks has proven to help men overcome a myriad of other health challenges, including (but not limited to):

• Arthritis
• Chronic Pain
• Exercise & Sports Injuries
• Weight Gain
• Headaches / Migraines
• Hemorrhoids
• Warts
• Snoring

We are honored and humbled to have the opportunity to help the men in our area better maintain their health. To learn more about how we may be able to help you, contact our pharmacy. We truly look forward to serving you!
