Health Goals and Weight Loss

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                All in all, it was a fairly nice weekend for January. Yes, it’s cold but it could be worse and we didn’t get any more snow or ice, so that was good. I’m hoping that what we have melts this week before we get any more, but we’ve got to get through February before we can think about spring actually being here. A really important thing to do is make sure that you have your humidifier going in the home and especially the bedroom to keep the sinus passages moist. We’re getting a lot of complaints about sinus conditions and much of that can come from the sinuses being irritated overnight from the dry air and then over moistening in the morning causing drippy nose. It can also lead to sinus infections if bad enough but we don’t want to get that far.

                This month were talking about health goals and weight loss as we start the new year, which blends in perfectly with the article I’m sending along that looks at the main pandemic in this country actually being insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, because of all the refined sugar that people eat over time and no good sources of actual nutrition. The article was amazing in that it showed 88% of people with Covid had some form of insulin resistance. Add that to the deficiency in vitamin D and vitamin C and minerals like zinc and you have the perfect storm for disaster. You don’t need ventilators and drugs to treat that, just good nutrition and a good digestive system and not eating all the junk food. I know I have patients who look at other folks and see them eating crap and think they can get by with it but everyone’s system is different and everyone’s nutritional status is different. Another thing I notice is that whenever we see people out in a restaurant or at a social occasion eating and they’re consuming some type of junk food, that may be the only time they’re doing that, as in the celebration. We see people doing that and think you’re doing it all the time and think we have to do it to all the time and that gets us into problems- like insulin resistance, which actually leads to diabetes and heart disease, and possibly even cancer as cancer loves sugar. This health stuff is not that hard to figure out but we have to get past all the brainwashing and sales pitches from the food industry and mainstream medicine and understand how the body actually works and what it takes to be healthy. This is our sole purpose at Natural Health-getting our patients to understand what it takes to be healthy and helping them achieve it.

  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...

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
