Beautiful Weather Weekend

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving and weekend. The weather wasn’t too bad and I hope everyone made it to their destinations safely. The weather wasn’t too bad over the Thanksgiving holiday but now about anything goes as we head into December. Don’t forget to keep your humidifiers running in the house as the furnaces dry the air out. If your sinus passages get dry, they lend towards more infections so keeping the air humid is a simple way to prevent colds in such.

                The health shop this week goes along with the monthly topic of dealing with winter challenges and being prepared for winter weather. The information above on the humidifier is part of that. We will have the health shop live on Facebook and Instagram at 6:15 and then will post it to Brighteon.com and YouTube eventually. It should be good information and our purpose is to try and keep everyone healthy during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the connection of being obese and lack of normal brain function. It may seem like there’s no connection but everything in the body is connected and usually very intricately. This is why it’s very important not to eat a whole bunch of junk and sugar during the holidays because it not only is very hard on the immune system, but affects all the systems of the body, even your ability to think clearly. You may notice this after a day of eating too much junk and you feel like you have brain fog the next day. If you keep it up, the brain will have a hard time working throughout the day and thinking becomes harder to do, especially clearly. Blood sugar issues have a lot to do with this and diabetics know this for sure. At Natural Health, we are always helping people figure out what works best for their body including the supplements that we use and the normal dietary intake that they have every day. Some people’s bodies work better with more protein or more vegetables or whatever. The key is to find the right combination for that body and work towards actual health, not suppressing symptoms with medications.

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
