Breathing

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another beautiful weekend that I hope you were able to enjoy. We had a big family reunion that was held off for two years because of the covid stuff. It was great to see everyone and catch up on the stories of our relatives over the years and such a beautiful weather weekend. I hope that you were able to get outside and enjoy the fresh air and notice how everything has greened back up now since we’ve had all the rain. It almost looks like spring again, especially with the crops growing so well now.

                Don’t forget about our health shops that we do live on Monday night at 6:15 on Instagram and Facebook and then we will post it to YouTube and Brighteon.com afterwards. This month were talking about Summer Fun and this week were talking about Breathing and why people sometimes forget how to breathe, which almost seems funny, but it makes for more anxiety and less ability to think clearly. Should be a very interesting health shop.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at how mushrooms have certain nutrients in them that help with cognitive function. The real point is that there are lots of good foods out there that if raised on good soils, have many nutrients in them to help our bodies be healthy. What we see here at Natural Health, is that many people have digestion problems or gut issues that don’t allow them to absorb the good nutrition or digest foods that they eat. It’s important to know that many of the processed foods are easier to digest because they have no nutrients in them, most of them being refined carbohydrates that the body can easily absorb. This leads to a lot of weight gain and insulin level instability in the bloodstream. We try to get patients to stay away from processed foods and mostly consume whole foods raised organically. Just like putting diesel fuel into a gas engine, eating lots of junk food with all kind of chemicals and preservatives doesn’t work well for our bodies either with the end result being a breakdown of the “motor”. This is why we have so many problems with degenerative diseases in this country. At Natural Health, we help to teach our patients what foods are actually good for them and make sure they can digest these good foods well.

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...

  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...
