Changes In The Weather

 Good day Natural Health Family! I imagine you are all doing well. It appears that the weather is changing and the temperature is getting colder. With all that is going on it appears that change will be happening more and more. It may make one ask if it will get back to normal or if there will be a new normal. Well if we look back, change happens all the time so you might conclude that change is normal. Let’s talk about the change on a relative scale so we can see that it is a continuous happening that we can help ourselves adapt to. 

Many of us have been through what seems at the time big and small changes. We have all been worried about what is and what will happen in our world. It could be something that is related to finances, family, social life, health, etc. It is understandable to be worried or frustrated in certain circumstances. However, when we view things in a different lens it helps us to alleviate our doubts and fears as we are able to see it more clearly. 


Have you ever considered what many men and women had to go through back in the past? We can go back to the stone age when we had to survive the winters without housing and heating. Or we can consider the devastating circumstances of the many wars fought in the past that led to the loss of many loved ones. Of course these are extreme examples but it is important for us to consider when we start to think of the issues we face in today’s day and age. It reminds us of what many have gone through for many of us to be here now. 


When we are able to think and remind ourselves of the history that our ancestors went through we can see that they had to go through difficult situations and make some critical decisions. We may want to ridicule and blame the choices that were made in the past but when we see that we have made choices that brought error we can lessen our blame and focus on the challenges they had to overcome and appreciate where we are now.   


We are going through some interesting times. On a relative scale we can see that we have been going through some challenging changes for many years. Of course this does not downplay the issues we face today whether personal or public. It actually reminds us to have hope and to persevere while making light of the situation. We can choose to either keep our heads down and look at the shadows or we can turn our gaze towards the light and acknowledge all the good that we still have in this world and what can still come to be.


Thanks for reading!

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...
