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.)

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.

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
