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.

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...
