The Heat Is On

 Hello again Natural Health Family. It appears that we are flying through July and deeper into the summer weather. The hotter temps mean more ability to get outside and do what we want to do. People will do various activities because of so many different likes and tastes. It is interesting how people see things differently which allows us to have a more unique experience during the summer and the rest of the year. 

Have you ever played a sport or any fun activity, perhaps when you were younger, and at first it was all fun and games but when the stakes were high or it got really close both sides got heated up. This can happen for many different reasons. However, sports really can help us see how the best become the best. The players that are at the top of their game understand that at a certain time either side of the court, net, field, etc. will get fired up. The energy will shift depending on certain happenings that occur. They also know that this is a play of energy. The energy can be great especially if you have momentum going in the direction you want it to go such as a baseball team who gets hit after hit. The players will say “this bat is hot.” Which is not because the temperature of the bat is hot but that the energy is high. Great players know that you can use the energy or heat to push towards a great advantage over the other opponents. However, they also know that there are ups and downs. It is not going to go 100% great all the time. When the low comes it is up to us to keep our heads when others are losing theirs. The lows can simply be challenges for us to not overly react to but respond appropriately and find the next best solution. 


In the heat of the moment, life can seem to be at extremes either positive or negative. Summer is a time for fun moments, being with family and/or friends, and also getting work done. Make this summer fun and when there are lows, don’t be too hard on yourself. Sometimes we can take a step back and enjoy the rhythm and dance to the tune of life.


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.

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
