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.

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...
