Sunshine and Vitamin D

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

I hope that you enjoyed your weekend and have found your winter coats. It looks like this cold weather won’t stay with us for long but it’s a wake-up call that winter is coming. Of course, the stores have Christmas stuff out already-even a month or two ago. That seems to get earlier every year. At Natural Health, were gearing up for the winter season and helping folks prevent nasty bouts of colds and flu. I always look at the trees and they still have their leaves on so were not headed into winter quite yet but it will be here soon. If you haven’t been in lately for a health check, now is the time to make sure that we get your immune system strengthened and get your energy up for all the upcoming holidays. They seem to always cause lots of stress and wear people down.

Don’t forget that we are having our health shops on Monday evenings at 6:15 live on Facebook and Instagram and then will send the recording over to Brighteon.com and YouTube. Were still talking about Chiropractic this month as October is National Chiropractic Month. I hope that by now you realize that Chiropractic is more than just for helping neck and back pain but is a healing paradigm all by itself for all kinds of dis-ease problems. Our office has been helping patients for over 42 years now and we have lots of experience in helping with all kinds of problems and at any age. With Activator adjusting, which is an instrument adjusting technique with very light force, we can help anybody with any situation at any age. I’ve had patients come in before who were told by their MDs that they shouldn’t go to chiropractors but that’s because the MD doesn’t know anything about light force adjusting. Plus it’s like asking a Ford dealer about buying a Chevy, they just don’t understand the reasons.

The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the need for sunshine and vitamin D for so many systems in the body to work correctly. Of course, I’m talking about the vitamin D complex and not the synthetic D3 that’s easily available at vitamin places. As with all of our nutrition here at Natural Health, we want patients to have the most bioavailable product that their body can actually use and absorb. Synthetic vitamins are usually only one part of the whole complex and body doesn’t like them, so they go right through the digestive system and don’t help with health. We strive to find exactly what the patient needs with our Nutrition Response Testing technique, and then get for them the best products in the world that the body can utilize for health and repair. What good does it do to buy junk vitamins that don’t work for the body and that you don’t even know your body needs? The advertising always sounds great but does it actually work? We get many people bringing in bags full of vitamins here at Natural Health for us to test, and most of them are worthless. It’s just not about what you put in your mouth, but it’s what the body actually absorbs and uses correctly as it was meant to.

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...
