Diets and Toxins

 Hello everyone in Natural Health Nation -

      What a great weekend! We're finally getting some really good weather and the grass is greening up. I love this time of year because of the promise of a fresh start with all the vegetation and tree leaves and just life in general. It's hard to just sit back and savor this time of year because we're so busy with yard chores and just getting around more, and pretty soon we're in the middle of a hot summer.  Hopefully you're able to enjoy it as well and can look forward to getting outside into the fresh air and sunshine. We really need to work on those vitamin D stores after a long winter! 


     We are still in March and talking about diet. The topic for this week’s health shop will be the Gut-Brain connection. This connection has been getting lots of press in the last 10 years or so and it's so important. At Natural Health, we really work at getting the digestive system working correctly and having patients eat foods that help promote good gut health so that they can think clearly and have energy to handle everyday stresses. If people are eating a lot of empty carb food or foods that contain heavy metals, and chemicals and things like that, you can imagine how the digestive system won't work very well and this can make people not be able to think very well. I feel that this is one of the big reasons for all the goofiness going on in our society at this time-from years of fluoride and chlorine in the water, from herbicide chemical poisoning, from drug residues and other chemicals in our food and water, and the list goes on and on. It's important to look at the whole picture of our environment and take into consideration the accumulative effect of all of these influences and the duration of the years we have been subjected to this exposure. I get folks coming into the office wanting to feel better in a very short time but find that they have been subjected to these environmental influences for decades. It's hard for folks to understand it will take some time to actually clean the chemicals and heavy metals out of the cellular level and get the body to repair itself from all these toxins. The road may be long but worth traveling if you want to attain real and lasting health. We're here to help at National Health.

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. The ...

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...
