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.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
