“New” Discoveries

 Hi Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone had a good weekend, maybe getting outside enjoying some sunshine. October is moving fast and we are plunging more into the fall season. Fall is a time of change. Of course as we go through life we will encounter changes and many experience changes in their health. Nonetheless, the way back to health is the same.  

Have you ever contemplated the amazing capabilities of the human body? Our bodies carry out trillions of functions per second helping to restore and maintain the health of our bodies. Science is showing us many new so-called discoveries that illustrate the wisdom of other cultures has been right all along. It is showing that our bodies function much like an electrical unit or machine. Now this may seem out there, however when you think about it you can start to realize how it works. Take for instance when you walk along carpet and then you touch a metal door knob. The body is conducting the static from the ground to the hand. Or perhaps a more subtle form of energy as if you were entering a room after a heated debate. You can still feel the tension. This shows us a little about the new discoveries that science is making. 


  There are fundamentals to our health and well being. Much of our body is made up of water. That’s why it is good to drink good fluids. It is also important to eat good foods that help to replenish and or cleanse our bodies. Other factors such as moving our bodies, getting good sunshine, balancing work and play, having leisure time, enjoying family and friends, etc. are all good too. It’s good to have these things in life and to also know that stress is inevitable. However, stress can also be seen as the same resistance that keeps us stuck on the mountain or is able to help us make the climb. It’s our ability to adapt to stress that is also a contributing factor to our health. 


Health doesn’t have to be this fleeting attribute that we have no control over. It doesn’t have to go away with age, it doesn’t have to be something that some families have and others don’t. Our bodies are the most sophisticated “technology” in the world. Science may not know everything as of now but new discoveries help us open up to what is truly possible. When we understand the way back to health and allow ourselves that possibility then we can ultimately move in the correct direction.


Have 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
