Health

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagine you had a great weekend and enjoyed time outside. Today I wanted to talk about health. Everyone sees things differently and there can always be 2 ways to see whatever it is. When it comes to health there can be two ways to see it. We can either see health as difficult to achieve or view it as our natural state. 

When you hear the word health what comes to mind? We may think of ourselves, our relatives, the professional athletes in peak condition, or others who are doing well. We may think of the healthcare system of the nation and how relatively the U.S. is not doing the greatest. We may think of the different approaches such as the western culture approach of drugs, medicines, surgery and so forth. Or we may think of the “alternative” approaches such as herbal medicines, nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc. There may be thoughts of accidents such as traumas which may or may not need emergency care. Whatever the case, we all see it a little differently.


Health is an interesting topic. Many times people think of it as preventing an illness. If we view life in a way that illness is an inevitable outcome due to what we inherit or that it happens due to age then we think that there is nothing to do once an unfortunate illness happens. However, if we see health as a natural state, that when we are not healthy that the body is unbalanced in some way, then we are able to restore it back to health. New information, research, and science is showing that our bodies are much more powerful than we previously thought. When we can be open minded to new possibilities, understand the capacity of what the human body can do, we can realize new opportunities for ourselves and others. 


Although it appears that sickness and illness is common, it is not normal. It is natural for us to be healthy, strong, and vital. When we empower ourselves with new information, when we focus on what we can do, we will be able to see more health in our world. Then as we help ourselves we allow others to see what is possible.


Here’s to a great week.

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
