Joy In The Journey

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. How was everyone’s weekend? Did you get to spend it with family or friends? I imagine you were able to have a little fun. Many people have different ideas or opinions of fun or play. Typically people think of it when they are on vacation, it’s the weekend, or a specific activity. Nonetheless, who says you can't enjoy where you are or what you are doing most of the time.

Have you ever tried a new activity and was an expert the first time? Most likely that was not the case. You may even have thoughts about how bad you are at the activity or what others may think of your skill level. Or when you mess up you get hard on yourself for not doing it that well. We all may do this from time to time. However, do you remember being a kid and learning new things? Have you seen a kid start learning to walk and thought to yourself how come he or she doesn’t know how to walk yet? Of course not. Yet, even though the kid is falling down, stumbling, and tripping over themselves you think he or she is just learning and will get the hang of it. Then it will become second nature and then off to new activities.  


  Many times we feel that we must be on vacation to have fun. By no means am I saying not to go on vacations, they can be a blast and much needed for many people. However, we can also have fun with our day to day things as well. Just like the example before with the child, even through the stumbles and falls you can witness the smiles and laughs. The child doesn’t seem to worry whether they will be able to walk but more enjoying the ups and downs of the journey towards being able to walk naturally. 


So whatever we are going through we can be more easy with ourselves. As adults we have more responsibilities which may lead us to tend to take things more seriously. However, if we have to do something anyway we might as well choose to enjoy more of it. There are times when life just happens to work out and when we enjoy it we welcome life to unfold naturally.


Thanks for reading.

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...

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...

  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...
