Gut Health

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation,


     I hope that everyone survived all the holidays and didn’t eat too badly. That is a problem in our society, all these holidays and excuses to eat stuff we shouldn’t. It’s OK if that’s it but we easily fall into the trap of continuing to eat badly and then pretty soon, we're sick or “catch” a cold. Many times cold and flu symptoms are the body detoxing and cleaning itself. As we enter the New Year, it’s a great time to consider your health status and to improve it, especially after all the virus stuff going on last year. It’s why I’ve been using the phrase - “Don’t Worry, Be Healthy”.


     The article that I’ve included this week talks about Gut health and why it’s so important, even with brain function and immune system function. One of the big failures of mainstream medicine is that there is no coordination of body functions, just a different doctor for different specialties. The human body is a functioning whole, not just parts to fix or control. At Natural Health, we strive to get the body healthy, not just controlled with medication. A good example is blood pressure. You can use meds to control it but isn’t it wiser to find out the cause of the problem? Same way with gut issues, using drugs to mask symptoms does not find the cause and restore health. If you're eating 3 meals a day and causing inflammation with each, how will you ever get healthy? We find this problem, or Leaky Gut, on many of the new patients we get, along with the accompanying food allergies. True Health is the goal, not just pain relief.


     Well, here is wishing you a great New Year and please let us know if we can help you or yours toward a healthier one. Also spread the word to friends and neighbors that we can help them be healthier too.

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...
