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!

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

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...

  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
