Clean Up

 Welcome back Natural Health Family! Hope everyone had a great weekend. We at Natural Health are talking more about the summer and staying healthy during these months. During the weekend I did a lot of cleaning up. It always feels good when you are able to get things organized and straightened up. There are many aspects to cleaning so let's talk about how it can help us in many areas of life. 

Did you ever hear back then when you were in school or college when preparing for exams that it helps when you have your living space cleaned and organized? It is because you won’t study well when there are other tasks to be done. When we think about having to clean up we may think of the dishes, taking out the garbage, vacuuming the carpets, doing the laundry, etc. These activities may be things we have to do on a certain timely basis. Then there are other jobs that we can do that helps to declutter what would help to open up space either at home or in other areas. It just feels good to have a nice clean environment. We feel more accomplished and we can concentrate on other duties better. 


We tend to think of cleaning living environments, but we may tend to forget to clean from within our bodies and minds. It’s important that we eat good foods and drink plenty of good clean water throughout the summer months. Our bodies function better when it is able to eliminate waste and toxins not needed in the body. We also have more energy throughout the day which helps us do certain tasks that need to be accomplished. We also can find time to wind down. This could be reading a book, watching a movie, walking, or finding time for peace or silence. Sometimes, especially in the world we live in today, we can have a tendency to overthink about all the little things in life and forget to slow down and breathe it all in. 


Our cleanliness is important to help maintain good health and energy. It can be a good idea to keep a routine or to make it more of a lifestyle. We may notice after a while that when our environment is more orderly we become more orderly in other areas of our lives and can focus on what we need or want to do. So I encourage you to find time whether it is a morning, afternoon, or even 20 minutes to tackle a cleaning project that you may have been putting off for a while.


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...
