Holiday Meanings

Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone got to enjoy the nice weather as there may not be many more days this year, but you never know it is the Midwest! We all know that the weather change can be more dynamic during this time of the year. We know also that holidays are coming and the many things that come with it. Sometimes this can bring up many things for a lot of people such as memories, feelings, and all of what we must do to prepare for what is coming. Life can be what we make it and although sometimes it might not seem to go the way we want we also have the choice to make the most of it.

    The holidays can mean different things for many people. Depending on life circumstances it can have different associations that come with these times. Society has led us to believe we need so many things which makes us want to get all the good deals to get all the different gifts or items. This is not good or bad, but we can also focus on the connection with others and enjoying the company of our friends and loved ones. We have seen that although it is called thanksgiving, people have gotten so worked up about it, forgetting to appreciate what they have now. It can be a time of great fun and enjoying gifts, the gifts that we give and receive. Nonetheless, let’s not forget the great gift of life.

     We are all on this earth for a period and nobody knows how much that will be. If we look at the life and nature around us, we can learn many lessons. That life has its seasons of growth and change. Even though winter can have its challenges, it can bring many blessings. Let’s remember that sometimes when we experience the bad it can help us realize much of the good. 

Have a great 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
