Not Against But For

 Hello Natural Health Family. This weekend I was reminded of something that I think is simple but we may often forget about. Today let’s talk again about the importance of not being against something but always being for something. 

This past weekend I was able to spend time with family. We talked about all sorts of topics. However, I saw or realized something interesting with people when talking about certain things. When topics came up that people agreed upon then the conversation went well. Of course the opposite would tend to happen when a topic came up that people didn’t agree upon. Those topics came up rarely because it seemed like nobody wanted to hurt anyone's feelings. Then I thought why do some people get upset about one thing and others don’t mind. When we get upset we rarely know exactly why we do until sometime after when we can look back upon it. When we react to a person or situation it is because something inside of us is getting irritated and coming up to the surface so to speak. So if we have strong opinions about certain topics or subjects and can’t see another person’s perspective then we are fighting the opposing opinion. When we fight against and argue with another person’s opinion, we ultimately are giving it more energy to grow. We must be able to analyze all the perspectives and information that is presented and make our own conclusion allowing us to not react but respond. When we close our minds to new ideas we can’t grow and learn. So becoming irritated or aggravated with another person in conversation means that we can’t see it the way they are seeing it. This leads to being against rather than for something. 


We all come from different upbringings and have acquired different information throughout the years. Even two siblings raised in the same household can have different opinions. So why would we think to judge someone else about their opinions not knowing where they have been and what they have been through. That of course doesn’t mean that we should dismiss or ignore an offense done by someone else. However, it means that we should not so much fight someone as to lead them to a better course of direction. A difference of opinions has brought much turmoil to family, communities, and nations. Until we decide to operate in a different way will we find more peace with others.


Every conversation should be to find harmony and connection with the other rather than to fight for our opinion if it is against others. Every person can’t see one thing the same way so we must practice patience when analyzing someone else’s point of view. When will we learn that fighting fire with fire always brings about some form of destruction. Let us not fight against the negative aspects of life which fuels the fires but strive to look for the good in everyone and further progress the betterment of all.

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.

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...
