Women's Health and Seed Oils

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                What a beautiful weekend! We had some very nice temperatures and even got a little rain in there, which will help keep the grass green and growing. This is a great time of year as everything is green and growing and the trees look so nice. By my house is a field of grass and it looks so nice and green now. As we get into middle and late summer, it dries out and turns brown so it’s so nice to enjoy the green grass blowing in the wind. There is a lot of pollen out there and before the rain, lots of dust. We have lots of great products here at Natural Health to help the body eliminate pollen and dust and stop allergy symptoms.

                In our Health Shop and Patient education workshop, we will be talking about women’s health issues, which basically pertains to everyone as we keep it fairly general so everyone can get something out of these events. Just remember that the fourth Monday of the month is our Health Shop that we will have live on Facebook and Instagram, and then putting it on YouTube and Brighteon.com eventually. There are so many things to know about actually being healthy and it makes sense if you just think about it. It really isn’t too hard to do but you must unlearn a lot of the commercial advertising you’ve heard over the last decades, and realize that that was just advertising for products and not actually health news. We have a great handout here at the office called Medical Myths, and it seems to be a crowd favorite as the folks we hand this out to really enjoy the information. Big Food has really spent a lot of time and money marketing their products and it seems hard to separate the actual facts from the plain advertising and marketing.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the problems with seed oils and this is a perfect example of the BS that we have heard since the 50s. After Pres. Eisenhower’s heart attack, the medical geniuses decided that the problem was saturated fats, which of course it wasn’t, and they have been attacking that forever and got many people to switch to seed oils, which is exactly the wrong thing to do for health. The seed oils were first started as machinery oil and they are not meant for our bodies to consume. The big thing the Manufacturers liked is that these seed oils would stay on the shelves for a long time and not go rancid, which made them more money but made our health worse. Crisco and margarine fall into these bad oil categories and you can imagine how many people have eaten baked goods with these two health destroyers. Believe it or not, the good oils include butter, lard, tallow, coconut oil, and olive oil. We’ve been lied to for decades and the health of this country really shows it.

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...
