A New Look

 Good morning, evening, night, Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone is doing well. We are going through some interesting times to say the least. Many things we cannot control so it is important to be able to notice or see the things we can. Sometimes it may be difficult to be able to see things if we don’t have any awareness of them. Today let’s talk about “blind spots” so we can see more clearly what could be right in front of us.

Have you ever wanted something in your life? Of course you have. How about when you wanted to buy a car? You probably looked it up somehow online, you talked to others about it, and/or even walked into a dealership and looked at all they offer. As you thought about the new car, say a blue jeep, you pictured how it would be to ride one. Then as the weeks went by you started noticing all the blue jeeps that rode around town. You thought it weird because you never noticed that many before. When we start thinking about different things, our mind starts the process of being able to see it more clearly or match what we think to what we see around us. Our mind is doing this throughout our day and perhaps without realizing it. 


What we can see or be aware of depends on how we look at the world. It is similar to wearing glasses. When we wear certain glasses we see the world differently. Now you could say that we are looking out through a certain lens all the time. Depending on how we look at the world can dictate what we see in the world. This is not to say that we should ignore all the bad in the world. It is more about noticing what we are looking for and what questions we ask. Just like mentioned before about the blue jeep, we see things more when we invest our attention on them. So the question comes that if something isn’t quite working well, or not like we thought it was going to happen, or we can’t see eye to eye with another person, then is there perhaps another way we could view it or a different question to ask ourselves about it?

 

We all have something that we may not see clearly and it’s ok to ask someone else for advice or perhaps take a step back and see it differently. When we start looking for the good in others and asking questions to solve the issue rather than why it is happening to us, then we will see more opportunities to be able to help ourselves. Many times we forget all the good that has come from all the struggle that we went through. This week I encourage you to look for the good in others and also yourself.

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...
