Stay Healthy This Winter

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

Well the North wind is letting us know that Winter is on the way but we still have some Fall left. The pretty colors in the trees are mostly gone but we have some good weather to look forward to this week. Get outside as much as you can to absorb the good sunshine and fresh air before the snow flies. Hopefully that’s a ways off yet. I always look at this time of year as being dangerous for health because were headed into all the holidays, which gives people excuses to eat bad stuff. We don’t need to weaken our new systems now, not only for the Covid business, but for flu and colds and all those winter maladies. We have lots of great nutritional support for the immune system and are here to help keep you and yours healthy all winter.

I’m sending along a great article on vegetable oils and why they’re so bad for the body. There’s been lots of research on refined sugar and why that is so hard on the body but were finding that these vegetable oils are just as bad and were brought into our diets about the same time as refined sugar and white flour. These dietary food sources came right along with the increases in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer as we look into history. At Natural Health, our concern is getting our patients healthy and keeping them healthy despite all the social pressure of eating foods that are unhealthy and social trends of holiday foods. We are even developing recipes for baked goods that are actually mostly healthy and still tastes good. We’re working on having a cook book ready for December to help out with these holiday meals. So the 2 big pitfalls in diet are refined sugars and vegetable oils. If you can keep away from those, you’ll do much better.

This time of year also lends people towards increased stress with the holidays and this is before the Covid business and the election business etc. In our nutritional work we are helping patients with their adrenal glands which are responsible for getting the body through stressful times. If you’re feeling anxious and depressed or just tired, we can help so don’t fret.

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...

Slow It Down

Wake up Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone had a blessed and great weekend. We are in exciting times, yes? Or these times are the worst and everything is falling apart? How do you see it? However you do, life will go on. It certainly is different from years past and continues to change at a fast rate. Our ability to adapt to this change can be an important factor in our health. Do you remember when times seemed to be simpler? Or maybe we thought they were simpler? I say this because many life changes seem difficult at first, but then when we get more familiar with it, the change becomes simpler. Time before did seem slower. There wasn’t so much technology, so many “things” to do, so many messages, emails, or notifications. We have so many abilities to connect with others, but the connection with others is not as strong as it used to be. Our society has changed from telling stories to what’s on TV. From meals made from scratch to how fast can this meal be made. Pe...
