Having Sinus Issues?

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

Another beautiful weekend but we just can’t seem to get any rain. Things are so dry again and the harvesting has pumped a lot of dust and pollen into the air. We’re getting a lot of complaints of sinus issues and using a lot of great nutritional products to help the body handle it. Don’t forget that when you breathe dust and pollen in, the body’s immune system gets a hold of it and takes it to the lymphatics which drain into the liver so through the bowel, it can get it all out, so you need good liver support. We have many great products for that to help the liver to work correctly and at a higher capacity, rather than using medication to force things to work a certain way. At Natural Health, we feel that working with the body and supporting its activities and functions are much healthier than trying to suppress a symptom which can lead to worse problems later. If you remember the bucket analogy, we want your bucket to be drained out so that the body can handle the incoming dust and pollen without allergy symptoms.

Our health shops this month are talking about chiropractic issues as October is National Chiropractic Month. This week were talking about the brain-body connection, or lack thereof, due to barriers that get into our system and keep the nervous system and immune system from working correctly. That is what we discover with our Nutrition Response Testing exams and then we can help the body rid itself of these barriers so that normal function is restored. This normal function equates to actual true health, not symptom suppression and just feeling good. Our nation has one of the worst health outcomes in the world, plus we spend twice as much as any other country on healthcare. And the word healthcare is actually a misnomer as its really just disease management. At Natural Health, we strive towards a different paradigm of getting the nervous system to work correctly so the body can coordinate its healing efforts, and supplying the building blocks it needs through whole food nutritional supplements and dietary education. True health or disease management-which do you think works better?

The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the need for good deep sleep. Most of our patients find that we work hard to get this to happen because we know that sleep is when the body heals. There are many people out there though that don’t sleep well and I feel it’s due to a lack of certain B vitamins that do not allow the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the autonomic nervous system that helps with resting and relaxing and repair, to come up and do its function at night. Many people are doing a lot of caffeine during the day and refined carbs which robs the body of these B vitamins so again, sleep is interrupted, and good deep sleep may not happen at all. And with many health issues, people can seem to get by without sleep or other things for a while, but then they start to crash or end up with degenerative type diseases in their later years. The point is that deep sleep is very important for healing and we help many patients with that here at Natural Health.

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
