Real Health

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another beautiful weekend! Everybody should be happy with this weekend as we had all kinds of weather-hot weather, cool weather, nice breeze, a little rain here and there-a really nice weekend for all. I got a little more sun to help my vitamin D levels stay high and hopefully you were able to get outside and enjoy some sunshine too. We are getting many patients coming in who are somewhat dehydrated so I’m harping on that quite a bit, to get lots of good water and getting electrolytes-which is a fancy word for mineral or sea salt. We’re going through a lot of our product called CAL-Amo, which is a calcium salt pill, and helps with that feeling of being very worn out and with leg cramps or muscle spasms. We know how to help you be healthy here at Natural Health.

                Our health shop this week looks at the topic of Anxiety and Depression. This is our last week in men’s health month but this topic includes both genders-and yes there are only two. Many of these conditions that seem so prevalent in our society, are fairly easy to get rid of if people only find out how to not cause them every day. For instance, most mental issues have a degree of vitamin B deficiency, but if people are eating bagels every morning for breakfast, which is a refined carbohydrate, they are actually causing the problem that they are complaining about. Taking medication to cover up the symptom is a Band-Aid and actually makes the problem progressively worse. At Natural Health, we are all about finding the underlying cause of the problem and helping the patient to heal themselves.

                The article that I’m sending along today looks at the health benefits of eating Beets. Now I’m not a big fan of them either and we have products that basically are beets in a pill (A-F Betafood), but if you like them, they are definitely a healthy food to consume. The real point here is that there are many good foods that we can get a hold of that help our health to increase but it’s important to realize what they are and that digestion and the digestive system must be working correctly. For example, many older people who have digestive systems that are not working well, only consume processed foods because there easier to digest. Of course, this lends them towards nutritional deficiencies which cause symptoms and they take more medication and on and on. At Natural Health, we’re here to get people off that merry-go-round and work towards actual real 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.

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...
