Anxiety -- Depression and Natural Health


Anxiety, Depression and Natural Health
           
            Anxiety and Depression are basically two sides of the same coin. Both are usually a deficiency of B vitamins which can be brought on by a long history of eating processed or refined sugar. Standard Process divides their B complex nutrition into two parts, Cataplex B for support of the Sympathetic nervous system which helps the body have energy and stamina, and Cataplex G for the Parasympathetic nervous system which helps the body to calm down and relax.
People with anxiety have a hard time relaxing, and over time, their systems break down from lack of healing due to inability of their body to slow down enough to heal. Sleep is when the body does this and it is so important to get a good amount and the right quality. Doctors have patients taking sleeping pills or using a CPAP machine which again is working on symptoms and not the solution. The body also needs the right building blocks, good food or supplements, to be able to rebuild itself during this sleep cycle.
People with depression have no energy to get up and go and be able to interact with society and then pull back from loved ones and this is also hard on the physical systems as well as the mental. The medications work on symptoms but not on any underlying cause. You can imagine if you’re eating the same non-nourishing foods everyday how the problem would hang around and usually get worse. Another big factor here too is if the digestive system is not working well enough to even absorb the nutrients in the diet. Even with bad digestion you can absorb simple sugars and drugs, but not the foods that are good for you and need to be broken down to be absorbed.
Manic depressive folks are a little of both, times of anxiety and time of depression. Same causes at work here. And even if the drugs work on the symptoms, they bring along lots of side effects. Let’s just skip these.

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.

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
