Heart Health

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Well, it’s starting to warm up. It looks like our temperatures are starting to creep up but I’m sure we’ll still have some winter left. The snow is really pretty but it sure moved around a lot this weekend. In all my years I haven’t seen snow drift from three different directions in one weekend, or at least I don’t remember it. Probably a suppressed memory-ha. We’ve even seen some snowmobiles running around our area and that’s uncommon, but this year they’re having lots of fun. Again, with all my years, I’ve seen good winters and bad winters, lots of snow or no snow, very cold weather or 70 degrees. The weather is different every year, as it always has been. This can be a stress on the body though, and we have lots of good supplements to help strengthen your response to the environment. And immune system support as well. Just feed the body what it needs and health is yours!

                We’re still in February so talking about heart health this month. The health shop this week will be on heart issues and repair, with some good information as heart disease is the primary cause of mortality in this country. And dare I say, especially with the clot shot, it may be more important than ever. We’re starting to see some of the effects in the office here.

                The article that I’m sending along looks at the use of vitamin D but without magnesium, it doesn’t work nearly as well. This goes for many other vitamins that are advertised for this or that, it looks great on paper but in real life, you must have all the other minerals and vitamins around for everything to work in harmony and this harmony creates health. Taking a synthetic vitamin D and hoping that it cures everything is folly. This is why our Nutrition Response Testing technique shines so brightly and using whole food supplements from Standard Process is the only way to take supplements, in my estimation. I talked to several patients about this and they are doing the best they can to understand information on the Internet but it must be all put into context and looked as a whole and not just picking up pieces here and there. Our bodies were meant to grow and repair on real and actual food, not synthetic things made in the lab and made to look pretty to sell. This is one of the gripes I have with multilevel marketing companies, the advertising and marketing looks great but the results are poor and actually keep people from looking at what actually works. If you have any health problems are know others who do, or just one to be at optimum health, we are here to help at Natural Health.

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...
