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. 

Patient Testimony: WHAT WAS IT LIKE BEFORE YOU CAME IN TO SEE US?

            Asthma – was on Singular, and other meds, daily inhaler and rescue inhaler

            Menopause – was on Premarin – hot flashes frequently

            Blood Pressure – on 2 different meds

            Was having considerable hair loss

HOW IS IT NOW?

            Asthma- off all meds and have had no symptoms in years

            Off Premarin and hot flashes are gone

Blood pressure meds – now on lowest possible doses, I go to my Dr.  next week for physical and am asking her to take me off 1 since my blood pressure has been running about 103/65 in middle of day.

I have not been sick or missed a day of work since coming to Natural Health. -PL

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...
