Vitamins and Minerals



            I hope that you had a great weekend despite the weather. I had to take a trip to Central Michigan and it was warmer there than it was here in Quincy. The first part of the trip was traveling in whiteout conditions and not being able to see the road until we got to Pittsfield and then not bad from there on. The weather can be a stress not only because of the cold temperatures and being stuck inside but when trying to travel and the conditions on the roads. The stress can lead to nutritional deficiencies as the body is using more of its stores to handle these stresses.

            Our topic for tonight’s health shop is vitamins and minerals. We’ll be talking about where they come from and how the body can absorb them, two topics you never hear about on mainstream media advertising. For example, the Ensure product has artificial vitamins and minerals that come from rock sources and are basically unusable for nutrition, and is full of sugar, just with people in nursing homes and such places need-not.

            The article that I’ve enclosed is on bio sludge and again being aware of where your food is grown and what things the plants are absorbing, not only minerals and the correct sources of those, but what else is there. We stress buying organic foods in our office or even growing your own to know where they come from. We are in very interesting times right now as you can see from the CDC’s own website, rates far degenerative diseases are going up. This means that something is not working.

            At Natural Health, we help patients figure out what they need to be healthy and optimum. The reason I went to Michigan was to bury a person who had died of cancer and was told she was cancer free twice before that. It gives me lots of reason to try to get others to understand why nutrition and health is so important.

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...

Heart Healthy

  Happy February Natural Health Family!  Did you watch the big game? If you did, I hope you enjoyed it or at least enjoyed time with others. If not, it’s really no big deal, it’s just a game. Although a great game, we know that it will end and a new game will begin. This month is about heart health. The heart can show us a lot about the health of a person. Let’s talk about the importance of the heart and what it does for us.  Did you know that the heart pumps around 2,000 gallons of blood per day to the many parts and systems of the body? The heart beats around 100,000 times per day allowing the blood that moves through it to replenish and provide oxygen to all the cells of the body. That blood travels through approximately 60,000 miles of blood vessels. It is fascinating to think what all the heart goes through in a single day. More studies and research also show that the heart has electrical properties as well just like the brain. We are more familiar with these propert...
