Pharmacist Ben Fuchs talked about natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals our bodies need to maintain good health. A great way to de-stress is through slow deep breathing, he suggested. This practice can immediately reduce anxiety as well as improve your immune system and lower your blood pressure, he added. Fuchs was critical of the amount of added sugar in various foods, which he said takes a toll on the body's blood sugar system. If one does consume a sugary food, he advised drinking water afterward, which can dilute the blood sugar.

Insulin resistance, he explained, can occur when a person swings from high to low blood sugar, and the hormonal protection system becomes unbalanced. Fuchs associated this condition as a precursor to many chronic illnesses, especially type 2 diabetes. To combat peripheral neuropathy (often related to diabetes), he recommended two supplements-- alpha lipoic acid and thiamine. He also highlighted the importance of connective tissue, which can deteriorate as the body ages. To counteract this, supplements such as glucosamine, and bone broth can be helpful, he said.
