Kids Health 101

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another beautiful weekend and I hope you were able to enjoy it. The temperatures have been great and we’re getting a lot of sunshine. We had a little rain but not as much as we need. I was digging in some drain tiles, and the dirt that I was working in was very dry. The grass is staying green though, and that’s a good thing. The trees seem to be doing well and of course the weeds are too. I’ve noticed a lot of patients coming in with sinus drainage I think this is due to the corn pollinating and the dry dust that’s rolling around. We have lots of good products to help with this drainage and allergy symptoms and we help our patients accordingly.

                This week in our health shop, we will be talking about Health 101 for Kids. This month were talking about Back to School topics, so this week should be especially interesting. We talked last week about learning disabilities and the information this week will connect right into that as the information we have on health in general goes along with preventing problems that were talking about this month. It really isn’t that hard to understand how the body works, it’s just hard to get past all the customs and or societal outlook on treats for kids. Every time we have a holiday of any sort or go on vacations, we seem to have to have a lot of foods that are not health promoting. It just becomes a habit or ritual to do this. Many people can get by with this but the kids are more sensitive as their bodies are smaller and their growing. All this relates to how they do in school and how they can learn.

                The article I’m sending along this week looks at Quercetin and how it can help with stopping tumor growth and many other good things. One of the main sources of this FIFO nutrient, is green tea and we try to encourage all our patients to start the day with a cup or two of green tea. I’m actually drinking some right now. This theme goes along with the idea that there are many, many great nutrients in good foods. It’s just important to realize that we need these good foods in our daily diets and we need to be able to digest them correctly. In our nutrition work, most folks that come into the office as new patients have what we call “leaky gut”. This condition comes from inflammation in the gut lining and stop the patient from being able to absorb good nutrients in foods. So even if they are trying to eat good foods, they may not be getting the good nutrients in them. We strive to get this condition healed and then get the patient on a good diet so that they can become actually healthy, not just chasing symptoms with medications and treatments.

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
