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. The issu

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
