Another Beautiful Weekend

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you enjoyed your weekend, whatever you were doing. The weather was beautiful and it was a good time to get outside and things done. Memorial Day sort of signals the beginning of summer activities and hopefully the weather stays like it is now, less humid and not as hot as it can be around here. I’ve been reminding patients to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and good fluids and not forgetting about the electrolytes, which is a fancy word for salt. I’m talking about sea salt and mineral salt here, not the junk white salt that’s in all the restaurants and all the snack foods in the world. Staying hydrated with fluids and electrolytes helps you feel good, having plenty of energy over the summer, and being able to enjoy the outdoors in the heat. A good indicator of dehydration is that you just don’t feel well in the heat and need to be in the air conditioning. We want to be able to enjoy the outdoors now while we can be out there, and not wish for during the winter time when we can’t.

                This is the last week that we will be talking about Women’s Health as part of our Health Shops and Patient Education Workshops. Next month will be about Men’s Health but to realize that we keep the information fairly broad and most of the information will help both genders to be healthy. That is really what were up to here at Natural Health, just getting people to understand that you can be healthy and prevent most all of the disease that people have problems with. It really isn’t even that hard but you must have a way of deciding that. This is what Nutrition Response Testing is all about. This technique gives me a way of asking your body what it needs to be healthy and then with good diet information, ways to keep you healthy over the long term, which allows the body to heal, especially if there’s been health issues for years, and even sometimes, decades. The body is meant to be well, you just have to remove the barriers, like heavy metal toxicity, and let the body heal itself. We do it all the time here at Natural Health.

                The article that I’m sending along looks at a type of disease that is unknown but happens anyway, with fatal results. As we talked about in the previous paragraph, the goal is to not get to the point where you find out about these fatal or debilitating disease processes. Again, the body is meant to be well and can get itself well if the barriers are removed, and the body is fed correctly so that it can have the building blocks it needs to propel itself towards health. Health is not just being pain free, but actually having energy for all the organs and organ systems to work, and being able to enjoy life and not be on tons of medication to control symptoms. A healthy body should not have any symptoms.

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...
