Natural Laws

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. The New Year is moving right along. Hope everyone is making the changes they want or perhaps starting to do new activities that they have been wanting to do for a while now. Many times we know what to do to change our ways. However, sometimes we don’t have the understanding that is needed to make the change efficient and long lasting. Let’s discuss some ideas that people may have misinformation about. 

When it comes to our health, food and what we put into our bodies can play an important factor. Many times people think they are doing all the correct things based on what they have been told. We can easily see that although with some of the greatest technology in the world, the United States falls near last compared to other countries when we measure our health standings. You may question why there is so much sickness in the US (or the world for that matter) even though we have greater technological advances than ever before. The questioning may lead you to reason that perhaps we are being told the wrong information either purposefully or not. Nevertheless, we can see that we are able to make adjustments learning different information. 


Many people don’t realize that there are natural laws at play in the world. Much like gravity. You know that if you hold an object up with your hand in the air and let the object go that it will fall to the ground. This is a natural law. We can compare this to the foods that we eat. The human body is amazing but if we continually feed it dead devitalized food then it won’t be able to work as optimally. 


Let’s consider our understanding of sugar and fat. We have been told that fat is bad for our health. However, our ancestors have been eating fat from various sources like meats, butter, and good oils for thousands of years. The amount of sugar people eat nowadays is exponentially higher than what we have been accustomed to years before. Now neither sugar or fat is bad but we must consider the amount we eat and what our body can handle. If we listen to our bodies we can feel that what we eat may be affecting our mood and energy levels. This helps us see what we can tolerate and what we can’t. 


As always, when in doubt eat whole foods found in nature. Nature has a good way of restoring our health back to normal. Always remember that the food you eat is fuel for your life. Also, be glad and grateful when you eat any food, many are less fortunate.


Thanks for reading and continue the New Year strong.

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...

Slow It Down

  Wake up Natural Health Family!  Imagine everyone had a blessed and great weekend. We are in exciting times, yes? Or these times are the worst and everything is falling apart? How do you see it? However you do, life will go on. It certainly is different from years past and continues to change at a fast rate. Our ability to adapt to this change can be an important factor in our health.  Do you remember when times seemed to be simpler? Or maybe we thought they were simpler? I say this because many life changes seem difficult at first, but then when we get more familiar with it, the change becomes simpler. Time before did seem slower. There wasn’t so much technology, so many “things” to do, so many messages, emails, or notifications. We have so many abilities to connect with others, but the connection with others is not as strong as it used to be. Our society has changed from telling stories to what’s on TV. From meals made from scratch to how fast can this meal be made. Pe...
