Ready For Labor Day Weekend?

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another great weekend and some more rain. We’ve got to keep the grass growing. I was noticing driving in to town yesterday, that it sure looks nice when everything is green, rather than the brown grass and things from the dry weather. It looks like we’re going to have a great week coming up and a great weekend for Labor Day. Hopefully everyone can enjoy Labor Day weekend and not have to help the kids with too much homework already.

                Don’t forget about our live Health Shops at 6:15 on Monday evenings. We do those live on Facebook and Instagram and then eventually will post the videos to Brighteon.com and YouTube. This month were talking about Back-To-School topics and this week, were talking about Children’s Foods and Moods. I will especially be talking about the connection between the brain and the gut. The connection is very profound and important when you’re thinking about what the kids are eating, especially before going to school or even during school. You can’t expect kids to sit still and learn very well when they are eating all kind of highly processed carb foods. It’s important to realize that breakfast, meaning break of the overnight fast, dictates the need for proteins in the morning to replace the proteins the body used overnight to fix itself from the previous day’s work, or in the case of kids, have the building blocks the body needs to grow. Highly processed sugary cereals are not what the body needs to work correctly. The refined carbs give the body more energy than it can handle and you will have kids that can’t sit still during school time. It’s unfortunate that you won’t hear much of this from mainstream medicine but there are too many cereal advertisers for them to deal with.

               We work on a lot of appetite and overeating with our Nutrition Response Testing technique and find what the body needs to not be hungry all the time and help instruct our patients on what type of foods the body needs to repair itself without adding extra fat to the body. Don’t confuse this with the good fats that we need in our diet because they contain the oil soluble vitamins-A, D, E, and K. The fats that you put on the body normally come from carbohydrates, and especially the refined carbohydrates with a high glycemic value that causes the body to release lots of insulin and that causes the body to put the carbs into storage, or make fat. Again, something you may not hear much from mainstream medicine but they can make a lot more money on people who are obese and unhealthy. I’m hoping all of my readers here, are looking at the need to be healthy rather than support that industry. Were also getting more signals of an upcoming “Covid” plan-demic, again, and health becomes even more important. It seems that mainstream medicine and the public health people didn’t learn anything from the last debacle. Don’t forget that were here at Natural Health to help patients strengthen their immune systems and not need to worry about the “bugs”.

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...
