Spring Has Sprung

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Well, the weather is getting nicer and nicer and it looks like were past the deep freeze part of winter. This time of year, is great in that the temperatures are getting warmer, the grass is starting to green up, but we don’t have a lot of the chores yet and can just enjoy the warmth. Soon, we will be into mowing grass and swatting flies, but that’s all part of the beauty of life in the Midwest. I’d much rather have it green and luscious then Brown and Sandy so I think I’ll stay-ha.

                We had a great 40th anniversary week last week and enjoyed all the festivities. Thanks for all the “Congratulations” that I received from patients last week. Time sure seemed to sneak by and I must’ve had a lot of fun because it went by quickly. There’s a lot of memories in those 40 years and most of them are good. As part of our ongoing strategy to be a part of the community and help it grow and strengthen, we plan to start helping with “drives” for food, or clothing, or whatever people need in this area. We will be sending out more information on this soon so stay tuned.

                In the month of March, we are talking about Diet and this week at our health shop we will be talking about how Chiropractic and the Nervous System affects digestion. Since most people don’t know much about their nervous system, they don’t understand how important that system is to help with digestion and we will try to explain that more at our health shop. It will be live Monday night at 6 o’clock on Facebook and Instagram and then we will post it to Brighteon.com and YouTube eventually.

                The article that I’m sending along looks at the need to get off the couch and get outside and walk, or get some type of physical activity. The medical people are blaming different disease processes on obesity, but obesity is just a symptom of a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet. I don’t look at it as a cause of anything but just a symptom on top of symptoms that relate to more symptoms. At Natural Health, we work on the underlying cause of patient’s problems and don’t cover it up with medication or psychological excuses. It’s important to take control of your health and realize you are responsible for it, not other people or those in white coats. With our Nutrition Response Testing technique and the Chiropractic services we render, we can help the body to repair itself and then the body’s owner can keep it healthy by treating it correctly. We have many handouts that slowly educate our patients into what it takes to be healthy, and help them unlearn many of the medical myths that have been trained into us for decades.

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...
