Holidays Plans

 Good day Natural Health Family! I imagine everyone has been getting plans set for the upcoming holidays. Thanksgiving is close and with that comes good food and good company. Everyone has had different experiences when it comes to thanksgiving and the holidays. The main thing is that it can be a time for connecting and celebrating with friends and loved ones. However you celebrate, remember to enjoy this time with others.

Today I ask you what your intention is going into the holidays? Many times, when we are going to start anything or go to an event, we sometimes can fall into the trap of hoping nothing goes wrong rather than just enjoying the flow of it all. Just like an athlete that intends to score a point and win the game, it is similar with our interactions during the holidays. When we are conscious of what we do or how we choose to spend our time we will be able to clearly see when we get out of alignment and get back on. When we set an intention to connect with others, to enjoy our time, etc. we are not moved by things that we don’t want to engage in such as eating too many sweets. Rather we choose to enjoy the whole experience of it all. When we are more conscious of our own focus and energy, we are better able to make the most of the time we spend with others.

As kids we don’t mainly think about all the things that we have to do, the responsibilities we have, etc. but mainly what is in front of us. Then as adults we may get carried away in perhaps thinking too much or worrying about things that we can’t control. Sometimes we can learn from kids who can show us that we can enjoy more of life by being in the moment. 

Thanks for reading and have a great Thanksgiving week!

Dr. Chip

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
