Coronavirus and Your Immune System


Well it wasn’t the greatest weekend weather-wise but at least the snow didn’t stick and this week should be warmer. We’re getting plenty of moisture so those May flowers should really look nice. I really like this time of year because we’re anticipating Spring but it’s not quite here yet. The birds are chirping and the grass is starting to green up a little bit but there’s still that cold nip in the air. I see people running around in shorts and flip-flops already but it’s really a little early.

            Our theme for this month is Diet, so I’ve included an article that looks at foods that can hurt the body. It’s important to realize that there are good foods that help heal the body but there are also “foods” that can harm the body, especially if eaten over long periods of time, like years and decades. At Natural Health, we strive to teach our patients about what foods work best for their body. We can tailor their diet to what best suits them and keep them healthy. Wouldn’t you like vibrant health and lots of energy? Of course it takes a little work but all things that are worth having do.

            Please don’t forget about our Health Shop tonight at 6 o’clock. We have decided to forgo the normal topic this month on digestion and diet and talk about the coronavirus and how you can help yourself through all this. It’ll be a great presentation on the other side of the coin, not worrying about the bug but getting your immune system working. We’ll talk about the immune system itself and what it takes to keep it working correctly. The media’s whipping this into a big deal, there is cause for concern, but let’s not panic. I’m old enough to have lived through the swine flu which was way blown out of proportion. SEE you at the Health Shop tonight, in the office in person, or on Instagram and Facebook.

            I would be remiss if I didn’t mention something about the coronavirus here. The main point to realize is that if you keep your immune system strong, the body can handle these things. But if you’re already having health issues that weaken your immune system, you have reasons for concern. If you wonder how your body is doing, please come in and get a Nutrition Response Testing exam and we’ll find out what you need to keep your immune system in good working order. There’s lots of hype out there which makes the stress worse. Come in to find out how we can keep your body working well.

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...
