Changes In The Weather

 Hello all you great members of the Natural Health Family. I imagine you were able to soak up some sun during your weekend. As spring is upon us we start to see new life. Spring time is the end of old and the start of new beginnings. Many times we can get caught into thinking that it’s just the way things are or that old dogs can’t learn new tricks. Well sometimes it takes us to unlearn so that we can relearn. As with nature and the changing of seasons, it takes a change in our understanding to allow for a healthier life. 

Many times people think of change as a negative thing. Although it is good to have a structure and routine to stay organized, change is what helps us to grow. As with many aspects of life including understanding, physical movement, diet, business, etc. change is needed for us to grow and adapt to the world we live in. Just like a caterpillar appears to pass away when in the process of changing into a butterfly, it is only a step into new life. Now one thing you may not know is that if you were to break or tear apart the chrysalis (the encasing covering the caterpillar during the transformation stage) and try to help it out it would actually die. It is the caterpillar's effort to break free that strengthens the wings to fly. Change can feel great and it may also bring struggle. When we know that it is part of the process ultimately to get to where we are going we can embrace the change with more ease. 


Have you ever learned a new skill? Maybe you learned how to play a sport, ride a bike, play an instrument, a way to build something, drawing a picture, etc. What does it feel like at the beginning? When starting out it feels different, uncomfortable, perhaps a struggle. However, as you get better and better you start to enjoy it more. It starts to become easier and you feel like you can do it without thinking about all the details. You start to become more like the person that has those skills rather than one who is still learning them. 


Although this world may appear to have much sickness in it we can embrace the change towards one that is filled with health. With a better understanding and practicing health rather than sickness, we can start to shift our ways. Many may think, based on much misinformation, that sickness is normal. It is time to unlearn what we have previously thought and relearn that it is normal to be healthy.


Enjoy your week.

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.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
