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.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
