Darkness & Light in Regards To Health

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate it and happy spring to all others. Springtime marks the time for new beginnings. A time, especially in the situation at hand, that creates change in our lives. In what seems to be a time of darkness and confusion, we will emerge in a new light. 

Let’s talk about darkness and light in regards to health. It is our human nature when we get hurt or have a certain health problem come up we look outside of us for answers. We tend to think that we must have “caught” something when we feel ill. Like the primitive man before, if a branch fell from a tree and hit us we would naturally think that pain and illness happens from outside the body. We would then be focused on our external environment and always scanning what is around us that may cause us ill. When we think this way, we become more focused on the problem or darkness of our lives. This causes us to always seek answers to why we have a problem or what the problem is. We tend to seek other opinions of the problem or the darkness in our lives. It’s like standing in a dark room and continuing to  wonder where the darkness is coming from. However, instead of looking for second opinions to the problem or where it may be coming from, let’s flip the switch and turn on the light, the light being the healing ability of the body. When we focus on our health rather than our problems, we increase the light in our lives helping us to shine a brighter path for others. .

When looking at problems that we face as a dis-ease of the body rather than a disease of the body, we give ourselves the power back to take our health into our own hands. We let go of being a victim of our lives so that we can express our healing potential. 

These current times especially  have forced  us to realize the importance of taking care of ourselves so we can adapt to a change in our environments. There will always be change in our lives giving us stress which makes us adapt and grow. When we are healthy, we are able to adapt to those changes which makes us stronger. If we are not healthy, then we have a more difficult time to change which causes further issues.  When we focus on our health and well being rather than the outside environment, we fill ourselves with hope and faith rather than worry and fear. This furthermore gives us more drive to do the things we want to do and more energy to live a life worth living. 

    It was said in the last post but is also appropriate for this one. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us… “- Marianne Williamson. Making good health choices and taking back our control gives us more energy. We must give ourselves the opportunity to grow and shine our light to lessen the darkness that surrounds us. Chiropractic adjustments help increase energy to the nervous system allowing you to adapt and  live healthier and happier. Here’s to a great Spring! Thanks for reading.

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
