Importance of Vitamin D and C


Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

            Another great weekend, I hope you were able to enjoy it and get that good vitamin D activating sunshine. It’s definitely getting hot at times and the humidity was up so don’t forget to use more sea salt or mineral salt to keep yourself hydrated. Also using coconut oil on those suntanned or sunburned areas helps the skin to heal itself quickly and get that good tanning process going.

            Hard to believe that June is almost gone but looking forward to the July 4 weekend and all the fun that goes with that. I’m talking to a lot of patients about eating as healthy as possible as all these holidays seem to get us into bad habits of eating too much junk food and sugar. There’s lots of good recipes for good foods and we are having some shown on our health shop this week. If you happen to miss it on Monday night, it will be on our Brighteon.com channel and on YouTube.

            This goes right along with the article that I’ve included looking at the importance of vitamins C and D to help the immune system. I think it’s pretty easy to understand that human beings have lived this long because they’ve eaten real food, at least in the past. If you go to many of the stores, you’ll see people in the electric buggies and with walkers and all kinds of devices because they are chronically ill. I’m hoping that with this virus crisis, people will start to look at their health and take control of it themselves rather than leaving it up to their medical doctor. Their report card is not very good on health as half of the country is overweight and a 3rd is diabetic. They are in the business of treating people and are excellent on trauma and emergencies, but this type of care does not work on chronic disease and health. Also it’s important to look at preventing these problems rather than just waiting for a miracle cure or some drug treatment. Our bodies were meant to run on real food from a variety of sources and the only thing that gets in the way is the person’s inability to digest. At Natural Health, our treatments work towards getting the body healthy and keeping it that way so it gets better and stronger as time goes on, not weaker and with more chronic disease. People need to realize that drugs are not nutrition and actually make the condition worse. Now more than ever we need a strong immune system and we know how to strengthen it here at Natural Health! 
We will be closed on Monday, July 6th, 
 Happy Independence Day weekend 
We will open Tuesday with regular hours

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...
