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”. 

Get Healthy, Stay Healthy, and Live Well

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
