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.

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
