Joint pain and arthritis are conditions that a significant majority of the population will face in their lifetime. The pain is usually attributed to inflammation and poor joint health due to malnutrition.

Collagen can help to support the strength and flexibility of the tendons and ligaments and aid recovery after exertion alongside vitamin C; the benefits of collagen might be even further heightened.

Collagen is a protein that plays a significant role in building the body’s structures. When it comes to muscles, ligaments and tendons, collagen provides elasticity, which allows the tissues to stretch.

Glutathione is a tripeptide—a combination of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. It’s present in most of the cells in our bodies, though it’s most often found concentrated in the liver.

Glutathione contains a sticky, sulfur chemical group that collects all the harmful molecules in your body and neutralizes them. These are called free radicals; when they’re eliminated, your immune system gets a massive boost.

Benefits of glutathione:

• Prevents chronic illness
• Slows the aging process
• Boosts athletic ability
• Controls inflammation
• Detoxifies the liver

What can you do to avoid ingrown nails?
To sidestep ingrown toenails, wear shoes that fit your feet properly and shape your toenails a certain way, says Clemencia Vizhnay, your manicurist at C&C. We can find out how a proper trimming can prevent ingrown toenails, taking good care of your feet and toenails can ward off calluses, athletes’ foot and other problems. For people with diabetes, good foot care is particularly important. Cut toenails straight across, it’s very important for us. Wearing comfortable shoes and roomy socks made from natural fibers like cotton and wool will allow moisture to escape and help avoid athletes foot and calluses. Always wear a sandals when you are at the public locker rooms to prevent fungus.

Health and wellness are also considered and addressed during the time of a manicure or pedicure appointment. Getting your nails done certainly isn’t the same thing as seeing a medical professional for severe hand and foot issues. However, there are several physical and mental benefits to seeing a manicurist.

The importance of your hair done:
People may make haircut appointments because they need a style change or style maintenance. Although these may comprise most of your appointments, we eventually have a client who needs our help repairing damage to their hair. Sometimes it is a DIY haircut that went terribly wrong. It could also be a bad haircut at the hands of an unqualified stylist that needs an experienced, qualified professional to fix it. Whatever the reason, you will need to harness your creativity to cut style out of the hair chaos say Clemencia who owns the C&C hair salon.

Hairstyling work extends beyond the salon. Clients will seek out the advice of a certified professional when they have on-going trouble with their hair, particularly if they are familiar and comfortable with that hairstylist. Our team at C&C, always finds a solution for the client, while also working within the boundaries of your lifestyle and budget, can be a challenge that requires creative problem solving.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like compound produced naturally in the body.

It is an essential element for many health systems since it is required to function in every single cell in the body properly. In order to sustain enough energy to perform bodily functions, the mitochondria in our cells use fat and other nutrients to create useable energy sources- this critical conversion process is only made possible by enough CoQ10.

Coq10 is a highly potent antioxidant used in medical practice to protect cells from the effects of aging and free radicals.

Although the body creates its CoQ10, it does not always do so consistently or adequately. As we age or become ill, our bodies can become less efficient at producing this essential compound, and a lack of CoQ10 is associated with decreased energy, the damaging effects of oxidative stress, declining cognition, Diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia, heart disease, muscle conditions, and other health ailments.

At Christmas time, we love to remember the members of our family with various kinds of gifts. Typically, our dogs and cats (hamsters, rabbits, but maybe not fish) receive little gifts for the occasion. This year, support your local industry and purchase pet products made right here in Cuenca by Productos Betoven.

One of our clients recently noticed the high quality of the Productos Betoven bedding that we stock. She studied the label, the beds, noted the zipper, and finally asked, “are these products made in Ecuador?” Yes, they are made in Cuenca. Customers have commented about the high quality of the materials and noted that if the spongy filling goes flat after extended use, it can be replaced. What more could you want? Available in your pet’s favorite colors (mine likes green), these are more affordable than imports from China or the US and are very durable. Productos Betoven also makes a variety of pet care products and litter.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound which works to alleviate pain, protect the brain, decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, help with weight loss, improve Diabetes, fight cancer, and assist in the treatment of several other health conditions.

ALA has exceptional therapeutic capabilities due to its unique molecular structure, which allows it to act as both fat-soluble and water-soluble antioxidants.

Another interesting quality of ALA supplementation is its ability to rapidly regenerate supplies of vitamin C and glutathione in the body.

High-dose intravenous supplementation of ALA has been shown to prevent healthy cell damage and, at the same time, induce cell death in cancerous cells.

Therapeutic benefits of ALA:

• Helps with weight loss

Over the years we have tried various hair salons in Cuenca. I know new expats arriving will probably do the same. It takes a while to find just the right stylist. We just had our hair trimmed at Rami Riden for the third time and he is consistently good. He was the stylist for Miss Venezuela prior to moving to Ecuador and you can view many photos on his FB Page. His WhatsApp # is 099 900 0427. His salon is located on Alfonso Borrero about 1/2 block down from Remigio Crespo.

“That’s just the way it is”, she was told.

“Immersion is the best way to learn the language”, she was told.

And she gave it a shot (immersion)…

But after living in Ecuador for a few years and still feeling lost and excluded because she couldn’t follow or participate in the conversations around her, Cathy realized it was time to try something different.

Not to say that she hadn’t already sought help though. She did.

She had tried two different bilingual teachers but kept getting the “That’s just the way it is” answer to her questions.

But that didn’t cut it for her.
