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.

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...

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...
