00:00I'm Dr. Dana Brems-Vegora and I'm a podiatrist who's been practicing in the Los Angeles area
00:06for a few years now and today I wanted to talk a little bit about nerve health and in
00:10particular nerve health while you're traveling.
00:12A lot of people actually suffer with occasional nerve discomfort but they don't know that's
00:16what it is.
00:17So some symptoms of nerve discomfort are things like tingling, burning, aching, even pins
00:23and needles type sensation and these are all symptoms of occasional nerve discomfort and
00:29they do pop up during the holidays as we're traveling, during the cold weather and for
00:34example you could be walking through the airport, feel some tingling in your hands or maybe
00:38driving a car and you feel some burning in your foot and some patients even talk about
00:43how when they're doing things like wrapping presents or cooking for their family they
00:46feel that discomfort and so all these are actually signs that it's related to the nerves.
00:52But one of the things that I recommend to my patients is supplementation.
00:56So one supplement that has been very clinically proven to help with nerve health is something
01:00called alpha lipoic acid and ALA is found in all of the cells in our body naturally.
01:05So it's naturally found in our body and it has to do with energy production in the cell
01:10as well as an antioxidant effect.
01:13So ALA is great and then also B vitamins help support nerve health and both of these are
01:18found in the supplement Nervive which has been clinically shown to reduce nerve discomfort
01:23in as little as seven days.
01:25One of the things that I recommend is regular exercise, particularly aerobic exercise.
01:30So think jogging but even things like walking are great for your health.
01:34Not only are they good with blood flow, circulation, but it brings in nutrients to your nerves
01:40and actually helps with nerve health too.
01:42I also recommend eating a nice well-balanced diet and also staying up to date with any
01:47doctor's visits you need to have and controlling any underlying conditions you might have.
01:51To learn more, you can go on Nervive's website or if you're interested in purchasing Nervive,
01:56you can get it from your local retailer or wherever you usually buy your supplements.
