Heart Health Month

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you enjoyed the weekend despite the cold. The forecast is looking better for the following week so maybe were getting away from the frigid temperatures and heading toward spring. It was cloudy all day here so I’m hoping any local groundhogs did not see their shadow and we’re headed for an early spring-ha. Don’t forget to keep your house humidifier’s working as the furnace running more causes the air to dry. And also keep using sea salt or Cal-Amo, that we have here at the office, to add the electrolytes to the hydration you’re getting. Also, hopefully, we will be able to get outside more soon and get the sun to help us produce more active vitamin D. If you’re noticing dry skin, try getting more of the good oils in your diet like coconut oil and butter, lard or tallow.

                It’s a new month so were changing our health shop topics to heart health this month. The health shop this week will concentrate on causes of heart problems and should be interesting due to the changes lately. The article that I’m sending along looks at how the herb “Holy Basil” can help with so many things and for us here at Natural Health, is just another indication of how natural supplements and herbs can help the body heal itself and help the body towards a strong immune system. Drugs may be necessary to help certain symptoms but are not health promoting, in other words, may be necessary for short-term emergency treatment but does not promote health in the long term. At Natural Health, we are always working towards educating the patient in the ways of helping the body to be healthy by natural means and not trying to force the body to do a certain thing, like keeping a blood pressure number lower. We are always looking towards the underlying reason for the problem and not trying to chase symptoms.

                I hope that you have had a chance to look at independent media sources and keep up on the news coming out about this covid business. Again, a great source that I like to use for my own education is www.thehighwire.com. There are other sources to be sure but this one is easy to understand and all of the information is backed up.

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...

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...

  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...
