A Part Of The Process

 Hi Natural Health Family. Hope all is well. We are definitely getting some big changes in the weather. One day being around 80 and then in the 40s, welcome to the Midwest. We all know that as time goes on the weather will balance out more and stay warm. Let’s discuss some of the changes that we may go through.

I am sure we have all been through a time where we wanted or had to do something new or different and it seemed a little scary. You can probably think of a time when you were younger, when you were either trying out for a new sport, your siblings dared you to do something, or maybe it was your first speech in front of a group of people. Whatever it was, you likely felt a little nervous to start. It was something that pushed you out of your familiar or comfort level. However, you managed to take it a step at a time or you jumped in not knowing how it was all going to go but did it anyway. Of course as we grow up we have some more responsibility with the choices we make in our lives. Nonetheless, sometimes it takes a little courage just like when you were younger to make the move to go forward into some unfamiliar territory.


Did you know that the feeling of anxiousness and excitement when measured looks very similar in the brain and body? That means when we do something new even if it is something we want to do it can feel a little uneasy. Our brain has neural pathways and when doing something new we start to make new connections. At first this can feel awkward or uneasy, much like the first time you learn anything. Then as you get better you start to feel more at ease and enjoy it more. Like anything there is a process, so try to enjoy the steps as you consider making any change.  


When we can see that so-called failures in life were really lessons and that life continues to flow, we can be more accepting of the changes that come whether we let them happen or choose to make them happen. Life always has a tendency to balance itself out, sometimes it’s up to us to get out of its way.

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...
