Feels Like Summer is Here

 

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Well, we’ve got summer now! When it gets hot like this and the humidity is so high, we really start to remind our patients about the need for hydration, and not only water but electrolytes, which is a fancy name for salt. And of course, were talking about mineral salt or sea salt, not the junk white salt that’s processed and has lost all its minerals. It’s so amazing that something as simple as drinking water and consuming sea salt, or our product Cal-Amo, can keep you away from all types of problems in the summer related to the heat. We go through a lot of this product all year, but especially during the summer. It really helps with the feeling of being worn out, and with leg cramps or muscle spasms.

                We were in California last week so did not have a health shop Monday night. We will get back on regular schedules next week. And don’t forget that we’ve moved the start time for our health shops to 6: 15, so that we can be done with patients and be on time for folks who want to tune in. This month is about Men’s Health, but as usual, our health shops will have general information in them for everyone to enjoy.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the need for certain nutrients to help people get good sleep. This is another principle that is so important but so simple-the need for good sleep, so that the body has the time and energy to repair itself. At Natural Health, we find that most people need B vitamins to help with sleep, especially the ones that help the parasympathetic nervous system, or the rest and relax and rebuild nervous system. If you just take medication to force the body into a type of passed out slumber, you’re not getting the good healing processes working, and of course the medication is just making the problem worse. Many medications remove certain nutrients from the body and so not only have side effects, but are detrimental to health because of this nutrient depleting problem. Plus, the patient is never figuring out the underlying cause of the problem. At Natural Health, we look at the underlying causes of why a person has a certain symptom complex, get that address and then the symptom complex magically goes away. Medications are important for short-term lifesaving needs but then you need to figure out the cause and get off the medication as soon as possible. We are here to help with that 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.

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
