Preparing Your Health for Winter

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you enjoyed your weekend. It was a nice fall weekend and we got some more rain. I celebrated my 65th birthday and it’s hard to believe that those many years have went by. As old as I am, I get a kick out of people talking about a bad winter or a good winter or how the weather has gotten generally worse are generally better, hotter or colder. I’ve been around long enough to see all types of weather and weather patterns and it’s different every year. I’ve seen temperatures as high as 107 and three or 4 feet of snow during the winter. It’s all different and not a political agenda-ha.

                This month during our health shops, we are starting a new topic Getting Ready for Winter. This week we’ll talk about fall allergies and we have dealt with a lot of those symptoms over the last couple months. Hopefully harvest is about over so the combines will stop spewing out dust and pollen from the crops, and we’ve got a little more rain to clean the dust and pollen from the air. We will talk about how to help keep the sinuses from being irritated in the winter, which causes drainage, which people may think are allergies but may just be a chronic cold or sinus irritation on an ongoing basis.

                The article that I’m sending along looks at the need for vitamin B12 to help with depression. I find that most people that have any type of emotional issues are deficient in B vitamins in general. B vitamins are water-soluble so the body cannot store those for very long and the consumption of refined sugar burns these vitamins up so there’s nothing left for the brain to use. We have many good nutritional supplements that we use for brain health and B vitamin supplementation. These supplements are not only good for brain health but for the rest of the body as well. An example is our Cataplex G product, which helps the body to be able to calm down for sleep purposes. Again, using a medication that drugs the body to sleep is not healthy, it may help with the symptom but actually makes the underlined condition worse. Natural food supplements are the way to go, especially if your diet is lacking and you’re eating a lot of on the go or processed foods. The processing removes a lot of the good nutrition, that is why these foods last longer on the shelves. Most of the time when eating processed foods, you’re just absorbing the carbohydrates which can give you energy and make you feel full, but are not really helping with repair of the body and with normal body functions. We also do a lot of work here at Natural Health, on digestion and absorption which is just as important as consuming the good foods.

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
