Summer Time

 Welcome back Natural Health Family! How is everyone doing today? I imagine you are off to a good start or at least moving in the right direction. We are moving into summer and with that being said it is important to keep up with the basics. 

In regards to health we want to help ourselves but eating good food and staying hydrated especially as the temperatures get warmer. The year comes in cycles and summer is a time to get outside when we can and do activities that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to do when it is colder. I think we can all agree that when the sun is shining and we can get outside it feels good. There is good research to show that a little sunshine is good for our health and well being. Many times when we eat good foods and stay hydrated that we feel and function better. It can also work the other way. When we feel good by moving and allowing ourselves to enjoy the summer time we tend to resonate more with eating good foods and drinking good fluids. So when you have a feeling to get outside, go for a walk, go to the park, or do some other activity, then do so. It can be healthy to listen to your body and switch up your routine. 


Our health is our greatest attribute. It is also natural and normal to be healthy. That being said, we all can get unbalanced or have different issues that may arise. Therefore, we can help support ourselves in different ways to live a good healthy life. Let the summer time be a good way to have some fun while staying healthy in the process.


Have a great week!

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...
