If you feel like you need an energy boost whether you eat a healthy diet or not you could be lacking in nutrients that are vital for energy and healing of the body. Here some of my favourite natural supplements that may help you to fire on all cylinders...
- Shilajit is known as the 'Destroyer of Weakness'. It improves physical weakness and brain functioning. Shilajit contains over 85 minerals and trace elements in their ionic form and also fulvic acid which helps the body absorb these minerals at a cellular level. It helps to detoxify the body and strengthens it too. Avoid the raw variety and choose the pitch or tar like substance which is the purest. The brand Hybrid Herbs (which is the cheapest best quality one I have found) is available from Natural Dispensary (type Shilajit in the search bar - see details below). CLICK HEREto order directly from Hybrid Herbs. Start with a grain of rice size portion first thing in the morning and stir with filtered* boiled water (this is essential).
- The herb Astragalus is noted for being effective for the immune system, however, it has many other beneficial properties such as strengthening the body, increasing energy, improving adrenal fatigue leading to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. This can be taken with Ashwagandha . Both are available at Natural Dispensary and can be bought in powder, liquid and tablet form. Type Astragalus or Ashwagandha in the search bar to find different brands.
- Apimist Xtra Pollen contains a synergy of raw honey, pollen and Royal Jelly. This honey helps to boost your immune system, increase energy and improve your general health due to the high amount of nutrients naturally contained in it - CLICK HEREfor more details of this product and others. If you mention Julie Silver you will receive a 5% discount. Speak to Ali or Kelly on 01263 761525.
- Gynostemma , also called Jiaogulan, is an adaptogenic herb and potent health tonic which is taken as a herbal tea. It helps bring the whole body back into balance and increases strength and stamina protecting the body and mind from mental & physical stress. It has many other health properties which you can look up or email me - julie@juliesilver.co.uk and I will email you the details. The best price for an organic and quality brand I have found in the UK is from Na'vi Organics . It is available in loose tea form and capsules.
- Omega 3 Fatty Acids are beneficial to increase vitality and improve health. They are usually lacking in most diets so I recommend taking a good quality supplement such as Viridian Organic Scandinavian Rainbow Trout Oil or The Health Factory Marine Phytoplankton if vegan as this one contains the highest amounts of omega 3 in plant form. You can also buy vegan EPA/DHA supplements.
- Probiotics help to improve gut health which is key to building health and promoting vitality. If you prefer a liquid to go straight to the gut choose either Symprove (plain variety). If you prefer a tablet then Bio-Kult or Body Biotics by Kiki are my recommended ones. All are available from Natural Dispensary - see details below.
- B vitamins are recommended for the nervous system and to promote energy etc. My preferred brands are Max B-ND by Premier Research Labs which has high-energy available probiotic-fermented B vitamins which offers advanced support for the liver, energy, immune system, adrenals & mood balance and allows rapid cellular delivery and superior biofield resonance dynamics. Methyl B Complex by Biocare or Lamberts are cheaper ones you can buy. Available from Natural Dispensary - see details below.
- Nano Mineral Waters get instantly absorbed in the body. There are several varieties which have an energising & healing effect such as Magnesium, Zinc/Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum. The Health Factory is a brand I recommend and you can buy them in the UK from Noble Naturals. To order contact Abigail on 01342 457170 or email: support@noblenaturals.co.uk and mention you read the details on this blog as they only usually deal with practitioners.
- Algae supplements can be beneficial to boost energy and help detoxification too. My favourites are Spirulina (Gourmet Spirulina brand), Chlorella (Sun Chlorella or Dr Mercola Fermented Chlorella). I am a big fan of the Health Factory Marine Phytoplankton from Noble Naturals - see details above.
You can buy many natural health supplements from Natural Dispensary website - www.naturaldispensary.co.uk Complete the online registration form, putting Julie Silver in the box which asks for the name of the Practitioner who referred you.

"Rebound exercise is the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised my man" NASA - The Space Agency I got my first rebounder in my late twenties and thought it was great, however, it didn't last long as it was one of the cheaper ones. I then bought a more expensive one and spent about 5 minutes a day on it as part of my exercise programme. I recently came across the bellicon when I was visiting a friend. I had a go on it and absolutely loved it. I found it to be a much better and enjoyable experience to the one I had. I decided to get one for myself and have not regretted it. Instead of just going on it about 5 minutes daily, I'm now drawn like a magnet to going on the bellicon. I am now bouncing on it for longer periods several times a day. It's custom made to your requirements and the strength is usually dependent on your weight and state of health. You get to choose the colour you like, whether you want support bars, folding legs, carry case etc. One of the reasons that the bellicon rebounder is very different to other rebounders is that it has a special bungee system which allows you to stretch perfectly and evenly so your muscles have enough time to flex, so there is no shock for your joints, back etc. The reason I love rebounding is that it's such good fun and I can listen to music, watch TV/YouTube videos etc at the same time. I've always recommended rebounding as I heard that spending 10 minutes on the rebounder is equivalent to a 30 minute jog without the skeletal stress. The information I read about the rebounder really empowers me to bounce daily, which doesn't take much effort as I can do it in the comfort of my own home so don't have to go out in cold/rainy weather, drive anywhere or wear anything specific. Here are some of the benefits of the bellicon rebounder: It is joint and back friendly with low impact Helps lymphatic drainage and detoxing It can strengthen your heart and build lung capacity Great pelvic floor and inner muscle training Strengthening bones (against osteoporosis) Helping to balance and lose excess weight Activates the metabolism Benefits the immune system and can help healing of many illnesses Helps to de-stress, relax and invigorate the body Improves balance and coordination The most fun and effective exercise in the least amount of time Highest quality (made in Germany) Quiet bounce Customizable with over 400.000+ possibilities It's a onetime investment that lasts many many years etc. It's a great investment and can be used by the whole family at home. It can also be used in the workplace and a gym etc too. You can read more about the bellicon rebounder on their website . There are many YouTube videos showing the benefits.
