I often receive questions about bloating and digestive issues. Bitters are the best at helping with your digestion, the acid in your stomach as well as enzyme levels. The easiest way is to add half a spoon of apple cider vinegar in half a cup of water, but if you are looking for something more therapeutic, Canadian Bitters by Saint Francis Herb Farm is one you should always have close by, since you never know when you are going to eat something that can throw your system out of whack! Create a more simple life with Saint Francis Herb Farm products! You can order through Pure Feast, use the promo code JENNPIKE and save 10% off all of your purchases.
A different topic I often get inquiries about is how to manage sick kids in the summer months. Kids are notorious for touching everything and then bringing their hands to their mouths, it is great for their immune system but they definitely need support, what I suggest is an easy chewable child probiotic. The one I love best is from Genuine Health in partnership with Joyous Health: Advanced Gut Health Probiotics for Kids.
