Is Sunscreen Safe?

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -

      Another beautiful weekend and we even got some rain. I was so glad because the grass was starting to get dry and it's a little early for that. We are now Into Summer and with that comes lots of warm weather and sunshine. Hopefully the rains will continue and keep everything green and growing. I hope that you all had a great weekend and were able to enjoy Father's Day. It's great to take a moment to remember and thank our fathers and just be able to enjoy the day.


The article that I've been closed this week looks at sunscreens and how they can contain chemicals that are not good for a person. I'm lucky in that I can usually get by with just using coconut oil before and after sun exposure but some people have lighter skin and must be more careful. I still think it's a good idea for them to use coconut oil before and after to help heal the skin and help it to tan and stay moist. There just aren't that many good sunscreens available where it might be better if a person could wear a light white covering to help with not getting too much sun at one time. There is an interesting correlation between sun exposure and activation of vitamin D and those that have darker skin need more sunshine to get the D activated and those who have lighter skin need less sun exposure to have the same amount of vitamin D activated in their blood streams. It has to do with where they are ancestrally from and how their bodies handled a lot of sun or very little Sun but still produced activated vitamin D that your body needs to be healthy. Of course you have to eat the right Foods to get the precursors for vitamin D and not be eating a bunch of white sugar and junk, but at least during the summer we have the opportunity to get vitamin D working for us. This has really been brought to the Forefront during this virus business and how important your immune system is, as well as all the other systems of the body. Being healthy is much more important than taking drugs or a jab, and people don't realize that those things don't work unless your body is healthy in the first place, and then you really don't need them. People that have poor immune systems think that taking a jab will be all they will need but the jab only works if the immune system responds to it. It's an interesting thing to think about. At Natural Health, we help our patients to just be healthy and not chase symptoms. It's a different type of Paradigm and one that works very well!

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...
