Sugar, Sugar, and More Sugar

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Well, our weather is holding on and thankfully we haven’t had a lot of snow and other bad weather conditions. It’s great that were able to get outside still and finish up some of our fall activities and chores to get ready for winter. I know that people are getting antsy hoping for some snow for Christmas, but don’t worry, we’ll get our fair share here in the Midwest. Also noticing a lot of people with coughs and colds, probably a side effect of Thanksgiving, but just know that we have great nutritional supplements here to feed the body what it needs to strengthen the immune system and get over those sicknesses.

                This month in our health shops, were talking about sugar and what goes on with it. This week were talking about the hidden dangers of sugar and why people should avoid it. I know that were coming into the holiday season and everybody likes to make their cookies and candies and all that business, but how about just trying one piece and not making yourself sick on it? Just a thought because all that refined sugar lowers the immune system’s ability to handle the environment. At Natural Health, we don’t want you to start out with a sickness in the New Year. It’s a common sense thing that if you’re eating refined foods that have had the nutrition taken out of them, you would need nutritional supplements to offset the damage of these foods. We use whole food nutrition here at Natural Health, not synthetic vitamins in a high potency form that are more like medication than food. You are what you eat, and absorb.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at grape skin powder being better than suntan lotion. The point I like to make with this is that there are much better things in nature to help the body be healthy rather than using chemical things to block the sun. Human beings have been in the sunshine for thousands and thousands of years and there is no sunscreen then. Were back to the discussion in the previous paragraph that it’s our bodies that are not healthy and can’t handle the sun, not that the sun has changed. We find that if we just use coconut oil before going out in the sun and afterwards, we get a good tan and the skin stays healthy. Of course, were also eating well and making sure that the skin is getting the proper nutrition it needs to be healthy. Sunscreens also stop the body’s ability to activate the vitamin D precursors in the skin and that’s hard on the immune system as well. Sometimes you have to think out of the box, meaning don’t pay attention to mainstream media or the marketing that goes along with it.

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
