Hand Grenades

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you had a great weekend and we sure enjoyed the sunshine. We tried to sit outside a few times but the wind made it seem cold. The sun was bright and the grass is starting to green up so I think we’re all looking forward to mowing grass for at least the first two or three times. I really love this time of year as there is so much promise in the growing season and is just great to see everything be green again. It’s also too early for a lot of pollen so it’s great to be outside. Don’t forget that we have lots of great supplements here at Natural Health to help with allergy symptoms and detoxifying the body.

                This week is the fourth Monday of the month so we are having our live health shop this week at 6: 15 on Instagram and Facebook and then will have the recording on Brighteon.com and YouTube. This month were talking about diet, and we don’t mean dieting, but being aware of the foods that are good for the body and necessary for good health, and staying away from what I call the “hand grenades” in the diet that are not really foods, but we eat them anyway. We’ll have a good explanation of that in this week’s health shop and these rules are actually fairly easy to adhere to, but people just don’t know them. When most people’s dietary information comes to McDonald’s and Pepsi, they’re not going to have a healthy outcome. The purpose of our health shops, and patient education workshops, is to help patients remember the good rules of eating and what happens when you don’t. Don’t forget that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the dangers of fake meats. These “foods” are ultra-processed stuff that the body doesn’t use for the purposes that meat is around for. Between the flavor enhancers and the preservatives, these “foods” or not what they appear to be, or are sold to be. These food manufacturers are trying to control the market by getting people to rely on processed foods rather than growing their own foods-like cows and chickens and garden vegetables and the like. They can’t control that! But if they get the public to rely on processed foods that only come from them, and are usually loaded with refined sugars, refined salt, and bad oils, they can control where people spend their money for foods, and don’t give a damn about your health. At Natural Health, we look at it the opposite way where we want people to be healthy and get as much food locally and unprocessed as possible. Not only does it give you food independence, but it tastes better and is so much more healthy for you and your family.

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...

  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...
