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 3^rd 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

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation- I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control. We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

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...

Hello everyone and natural health Nation - Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too. The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
