The Currency of Health

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. It was a great weekend filled with great weather and people coming together for celebrations. Nowadays, it appears that there are many things and events going on in the world that can be fearful and at times quite overwhelming. Much of it is causing turmoil and confusion for many people. This unfortunately causes many to become scared due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of what is happening. Nonetheless, it is important to be able to do our best to balance staying informed while also focusing on what we are able to control and make a change if needed.

So what do we have control over or what can we do for ourselves and others? When we watch the news or anything going on in the world that brings suffering or feelings of fear, anger, grief, etc. we can consider that we are able to maintain our own well being if we are aware of this happening. These feelings of course are not good or bad but if indulged in then can cause people to be focused on what is going wrong in the world rather than all the good. If we are not careful it can lead us to become negative and further depletes our energy. However, if we can see all what is happening and have a neutral lens we are able to use it to turn the tide and see what we can do to help ourselves and others. 

In these times of what seems like extremes we can come to realize more of how we respond to our environment and what is going on in the world. When we know how to take care of ourselves and do what is needed for our own well being then we are able to adapt in a more optimal manner. As the times are changing fast, health will be a much needed currency. When we are able to be healthy ourselves we are able to be more productive and also able to help others. 

So wherever you are in life know that when you help yourself with your own health you are helping others too. Our health is one thing that we do have control over. Sometimes it is a matter of taking action and doing what is right. Sometimes it means to let go and know things are working out in the proper way. When we are well we show others what is possible. Change is happening, so let’s be the change towards a healthier and happier world.


Thanks for reading.

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

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...
