What Does Health Mean To You?

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

            Another great weekend but it’s starting to get dry. The temperatures were nice but it looks like it’s going to get warmer this week. Don’t forget to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and getting some sea salt or mineral salt in the diet. It seems that every year when school starts it gets hot but it won’t last long. Fall is just around the corner and it’s a great time of year too.

            Our theme for this month has been on brain health and in our health shop this week were talking about hydration and exercise. I love to talk about salt because people have been told for so long that salt is bad for them because of blood pressure issues, and while that may be somewhat true for processed salt, our bodies need good quality mineral salt or sea salt for the kidneys to work correctly, and many other functions of the body. If the kidneys don’t work correctly, you will have blood pressure issues so a moderate amount of salt is definitely good for the body and necessary for good health.

            And speaking of good health, I’m including an article today that talks about metabolic health and why that is so important to good immune system function. People that are overweight or that can’t seem to lose weight have a problem with metabolic health or insulin resistance. Insulin resistance comes from the overuse of refined sugars for long periods of time that overwork the body’s sugar handling systems and cause a failure of the body’s ability to handle it correctly and efficiently. It’s been estimated that more than 90% of Americans have some form of metabolic problem. This is thanks to mainstream medicines bad information on diet, or sometimes no information. People are left to decide what to eat by the advertisements on TV and this has gotten us into big trouble in this country on the health front. This is why diabetes is so rampant among the population. Even the FDA’s food pyramid is supported by Big Food and the money that they spend on advertising and persuasion. As an old farm boy, I know that if you want to fatten up hogs and cattle you feed them grains.

            At Natural Health, were concerned with getting our patients bodies working at optimum and being able to heal themselves and stay healthy, and have a positive outlook on life. It makes more sense to be healthy and not worry.

Patient Testimony: 

What was it like before I came to Dr. Mark:

Before seeing Dr. Mark I was tired, my joints hurt, everything gave me indigestion or heartburn.  My hair was dry like straw.  I had a craving for anything with sugar.

How is it now:

After seeing Dr. Mark I wake up like a twelve year old, full of energy.  My joints seldom ache, my indigestion is gone.  My hair and fingernails grow quickly, my hair is normal. I no longer wear glasses. I do not crave sugar. I feel fine.  (B.D.)

Get Healthy, Stay Healthy, and Live Well

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...

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...
  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...
