Something New

 Natural Health Family! I hope everyone is having a good start to the week and had a great weekend. This past Sunday was father’s day so happy father’s day to all the fathers out there. Being that it was father’s day I wanted to talk a little about our forefathers, specifically, how they chose to explore unknown territory and how it led to the birth of a new nation. 

Now with any exploration, they must have had to consider that they wouldn’t know how it was all going to happen. They may have thought about the possibility that they wouldn’t make a destination or what they feared came upon them. However, they instead kept their minds set on the possible future of what could be. They chose to hold true to the idea that whatever happens that they were going to stand firm and allow their sales to keep directing them onward. 


Many times in life we may be overwhelmed with what all is happening and what we all need to do at the time. This can be overly taxing on our brains which further leads to energy depletion of our bodies. When this happens we have a tendency to start having health related issues of all sorts. Keeping our sails set in the direction not on the problem but towards the solution can help us restore balance in our lives.  


When we consider the word play we may think of kids in the park, sports, entertainment, or animals outside. Everyone has an innate tendency to play or create something new. Many have been taught about all the different ways to live in the world to have a safe and sustainable life. However, we forget the other aspects of life that include fun, dance, art, enjoyment, creation, and play. This can come from spending time with others doing something new, creating a business, bettering ourselves with a skill, or just simply being a kid again. When we incorporate fun or play in our lives we help our brain and bodies to function in a new way which helps our health and wellbeing.  


From exploring new territory to doing something new such as play, we express our curious nature of wanting to do new things. Many times it seems scary or difficult to try something new but after we take the initial step we find it is great fun. I encourage you to try something new this week. It could be starting a project you have been wanting to do for a while or just giving a stranger a genuine compliment.


Have a great week.

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
