How To Stay Healthy

 Hi Natural Health Family! This post will be short and brief. I am going to talk about some key points about how we can help ourselves stay healthy. The topics will be movement, food and the mind. 

Movement is essential for us to be and stay healthy. When we move we are able to activate our muscles to promote blood flow and help our bodies be able to excrete waste. Blood flow is important because it is the food for our body’s cells. If blood is not getting to all parts of the body then those areas become deficient and may lead to an illness. Excreting waste is also very important so that our bodies can function properly without holding on to unwanted material. Movement is life and when we don’t move on the outside such as physical activities then our bodies have a hard time moving on the inside such as the flow of waste out of the body. Walking is a great and natural form of movement that everybody should do to promote a healthy lifestyle. 


What we eat is also important for our life. However, i am going to take it another way. I believe many of us know good whole foods are important and when we eat foods in their natural form then our bodies can utilize the nutrition very well. However, when is the last time you were very grateful for the food you ate? Many people have busy lives and eat food in a quick manner to get to the next thing they have to do. However, when we take time and give thanks for whatever meal we are about to eat our bodies are in a better mode to be able to digest the food. Feeling grateful or thankful for the food you are going to eat can go a long way for our health. Remember that many people in the world are not so fortunate and would love any food that they would receive. 


The mind is a powerful organ. When we let our mind control everything we do our energy gets scattered. When we don’t take time to calm our minds and see all the thoughts that we may be having then we get caught in a thought and emotional rollercoaster. It is important to take time throughout the day to become still and center your focus. This will not only help us get more energy but also bring about better mental clarity. 

I wanted this to be good advice but really a reminder of some small things that we can do and when done overtime consistently can help us feel great. Have a great rest of the week!

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...
