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.

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

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...

  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
