Nutrition and Positive Thinking

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

What a beautiful weekend! It cooled off just enough to make it very enjoyable outside but still warm enough to not need coats and things like that. It’s great to have things green yet too but we could use some rain as the grass is getting a little brown and it’s very dusty. I hope that you were able to get out and enjoy it and maybe even talk to some friends. I think that people are starting to get over all this stuff, especially hiding in your house all the time-ha.

Tonight for our health shop we are doing a different event. We had planned to do a Dinner with the Docs event where patients come and have supper with us but since all this virus business, we decided to just post the 3 of us going over recipes and explaining how they work. As the kids are headed back to school, we’re getting lots of requests for recipes for snacks and healthy foods that can be taken in lunches. This virus business has really woken people up to the need for good nutrition and good positive thinking and the need for true health. Many people are questioning vaccines now too, because even though the purpose is noble, the outcome may not turn out that way. I see more and more people taking control of their health and asking more questions on how they can feel better and getting off of medications. As more and more information comes out, we will incorporate this into our health shops and try to explain what it all means. I saw a great little video on Facebook this morning explaining how facemasks will probably be the cause of the 2^nd wave as they lower a person’s immune system due to re-breathing your own exhaled gases and making you fearful which suppresses your immune system. Very interesting stuff!

At Natural Health, were using our three-pronged approach to getting people healthy and keeping them that way so they don’t have to worry about bugs. This gets us into a debate on the germ theory versus the host theory. The host theory is that if the person is healthy the bugs won’t bother, rather than thinking a bug will come up and grab you and there is nothing you can do about it. The host theory makes much more sense but makes the drug and antibiotic manufacturers less money so guess what’s been promoted for decades? Don’t forget that we’re here to help with any health problems, just give us a call.

Patient Testimony: "Before coming to Natural Health, I was miserable and looking for hope. Natural Health gave me that hope. I was having hormonal troubles, struggling with my weight, and achy joints. I am 45 and these symptoms developed over the last year. I felt out of control with my body.

Now, I feel more in control of my body. Through change of diet and proper supplements, I feel my hormones are coming more into balance. I have more energy and no longer depend on caffeine or energy drinks to get me through the day. I feel full of hope on my journey for optimal health and feel comforted that Natural Health is there to guide me through this. -G.B"

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...
