Hello Natural Health Family. Let’s talk today about what it means to be healthy. Not just the absence of symptoms and issues but the expression of life and vitality. Remember, health is natural for everyone. When you are experiencing pain or symptoms, that means you are unbalanced in some way. When we are unbalanced, we are more vulnerable to various health conditions such as having symptoms related to a virus. Lets change our way of thinking from attacking the bug to building the body strong. 

First let’s talk about your body. Did you know (according to recent findings), that your body is made up of 6 trillion human cells (there is other research stating that we have 50 trillion cells), 60 trillion bacteria, and 380 trillion viruses? Yes you heard that right. Now why, when talking about illness do we always attack the bug? Let’s face it, our bodies are as much human as they are bacterial and virus… Let that sink in. Why don’t we respect our bodies, including the “bugs” that live in, on and around us. This would allow us to live a balanced healthy life. Everything in life needs balance and when in harmony we can be a force to be reckoned with. 

Building the immune system is crucial for a healthy life. Many things can help from proper foods, proper nutrition, walking, sunlight, and calming the mind as in meditation. We also strengthen ourselves with physical touch such as handshakes and hugs. This is not just the passing of the viruses on our bodies which helps, but also a physiological and chemical process inside of us that positively affects our health. 

So to summarize. Of course i am not saying that if you or someone else is sick that you should be in contact with them physically. However, if you don’t suspect that you or the other person is sick then don’t be afraid to connect. We live in a time where people are scared to open up to others and embrace them. We are constantly trying to kill the “bugs” that live on, in and around us with antibiotics and sanitizers. It is important to stay clean, but also to live in harmony with the “bugs.” 

I hope this post has given you insight and a different way to look at things and what is going on in the world around us. I like to see it in terms of football. You can have a great offense, but with no defense you will never be able to prevent the other team from scoring. This results in a constant game of catch up and hoping that when the time runs out your team has more points. However, you might have heard that a great defense is a good offense. This is also true of our bodies' defenses. I hope you are staying healthy and spending time with family in these different times.

Have a great day!

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.

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

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
