Atrial Fibrillation and Hydration

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

I hope that you enjoyed your weekend and were grateful for the rain that we have gotten. Looks like there was a little hail in there but it didn’t amount to much. I was traveling over the weekend and was in Florida for a nutrition seminar, and learned a lot. Most of the information was on how to help the office to run smoother and so will try to implement these suggestions over time to make your visits even easier and quicker. We may even send out a survey, or two, to get your feedback on how we do things here at Natural Health and how we can make them better for you. We returned from Florida at the Belleville airport near St. Louis and things are greener there. I’m hoping that this rain that we got this weekend, will help to green up a lot of the brown grass and countryside and start looking more like it should this time of year. Hopefully, the farmers can take a breath now and we will start getting normal rainfall.

The article that I’m sending along this week looks at recognizing Atrial Fibrillation and some suggestions to help with it. We take care of many patients with this condition here at Natural Health, and it really isn’t that hard to do. One of the big things that the article talks about is getting the blood thinner so that it’s easier to pump and leads to less clotting. A very simple way to help this is to hydrate the body correctly. The medics want to push medication to thin the blood but the way it does this is by destroying blood cells and that’s a very poor way to help the actual health the body. We thin the blood by getting the person to drink at least half of their body weight in ounces of water per day, and using around a level teaspoon of sea salt or mineral salt per day to keep their body hydrated. Most folks are under the false assumption that drinking lots of water is all you have to worry about and that is not true. You need the electrolytes, which is just a fancy name for salt, to be there as well to allow the body to put the water where it needs it. Good hydration is one of those very simple things that escapes most people, especially the medical folk. And a reminder is that if you do get dehydrated and end up in the hospital, you will get an IV of saline solution, which is salt and water.

We are going through some transitions with our health shops and patient education workshops. It seems like during their covid years, people got used to not leaving their houses in the evening and were having a hard time getting anyone to show up in person. We’re thinking about going back to the online presentations and adding some extra videos to our website so that people can understand what we do here and how it works. We will let you know in the coming weeks how this is going to work. We definitely appreciate the feedback that we get from those who have watched our videos and we look forward to getting more information out there that is factual and that actually works to help people be healthy. We are not advertising for treatments, but just trying to get factual health information to those that want to be healthy and well.

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. The issu

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
