Brain Health

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

            Another great weekend! It was sure nice to have some cooler temperatures and a little rain in there. It’s keeping everything so green, even the yards and grasses. In many years, it’s dryer during July and the heat turns things brown but this year it sure is staying green and luscious. I hope that you were able to get outside and work on your vitamin D activation. Don’t forget about using coconut oil on suntan areas and eating salt to keep yourself hydrated.

            Our topic for August is Brain Health and is important as the kids, hopefully, get back to school and for the adults to get back to work from vacations and such. I’m including an article that talks about correcting metabolism to help with immune system strengthening and this goes for all systems in the body, even brain health and proper function. Let’s face it, if you’re tired all the time you have a greater tendency to be depressed. If you’re not thinking well and become anxious because you can’t figure things out or things seem overwhelming, you have a higher tendency to have anxiety and fears. Getting the body to work correctly keeps the energy coming so that we can think correctly and be happier with where and who we are.

            In our Health Shop this week you’re talking about our ability to learn and use science as a logical way to see how things work and make decisions. One example of how this works is the gastrointestinal and psychological syndrome information that we talk about with our patients. Big words I know, but they mean if your gut is not working correctly your brain won’t either. This translates into what you eat can determine your energy levels and even your mood. An example of this is kids eating processed carbs and junk cereal in the morning and then they can’t sit still and learn anything at school. And adults are the same way where if they eat carbs and sugars in the morning, about 10 o’clock their blood sugar has bottomed out and they feel terrible and can’t concentrate, which makes the workday drag.

            At Natural Health, we help our patients to learn how to keep this from happening and have vibrant and energetic true health. We are here to help you and yours have a great life and really enjoy it.

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

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...
