How Is Your Digestion?

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -

     I hope that you all enjoyed your weekend and got some of those little chores done that we need to do in Spring. It looks like we're getting some rain that we need to get the grass growing and flowers blooming. I was enjoying the warm weather but it seems more normal now with it being a little cooler, as long as we stay away from the ice and snow. I always find it interesting that I'm looking forward to that first mowing of the grass and the great smell of fresh-cut grass but then about two months later, I'm over it. It's amazing how the seasons change and as we get older, how fast they go.


     As we're still in March, we're talking about diet and digestion this month. The article that  I am enclosing is looking at the hormone disrupting chemicals in our environment. People don't realize how much hormone balancing has to do with the digestive system. There are a lot of hormones that communicate different signals in the digestive tract and those must be balanced as well to get digestion to work correctly. We tend to forget that hormones do a lot more than just work on reproductive issues. This is another reason for understanding the gut and brain connection, or how you feel based on what you eat. Our society has many holidays on the calendar and this seems to set us up for  eating poorly and regaining bad habits that we may have gotten rid of previously. Saint Patrick's Day is coming up this week and at least it has some good foods that  are a normal part of it, like corned beef and cabbage and sauerkraut. Green beer though, is not the best thing for our body - ha. You get the point though, that these holidays seem to set us up for continued bad habits and then poor health. The stats for the United States are not good with chronic health conditions and this is mainly all due to diet with the cofactor of Environmental toxins. At Natural Health, we strive to detox patients' bodies and get them working correctly so that they can attain true natural health. We're here to help you and yours so pass the word along and let's get Healthy!

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

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...
