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, and gained more knowledge on being healthy. We plan on having more of these, at least one per quarter, to thank our patients for their patronage and to show those that have not become patients yet, that we have a great office here with a great staff and are willing and ready to help them towards real natural health. This week is our Cyber Monday bonus day as well, and I hope that you were able to take advantage of it. This is a new event that were trying and I’m sure that it will be a great success, and help patients on the road to health and maintaining good health. We’re getting away from the idea of discounting our services but we want to reward patients that use our services, so that is the point of the bonus program. Again, thanks for participating and enjoying.

                The article that I’m sending along this week looks at the Nine Benefits of Garlic. I’m sure there are many more but these are the main ones. There are several points here to realize. One is that there were so many good foods out there to help us be healthy but the choice is ours to make good decisions. The second point is that even though were trying to eat good foods, digestion and absorption must be addressed to make sure that the body is getting the nutrients from these good foods. This is one of our main goals with our nutrition patients, to make sure that they are digesting correctly and utilizing the nutrients their eating.

                Don’t forget about our health shops that were having on Monday at 6:15 live on Facebook and Instagram. We are still in November, so we’re continuing our topic of Preparing for Winter and this week were talking about Getting Ready for Winter Challenges. Many people have problems with circulation during the winter and getting enough vitamin D, so we will be talking about that this week, and lots of other good information. We will post the recorded video on Brighteon.com and YouTube so if you need to catch it later, it will be there. It seems to us that after this Covid thing, people are paying more attention, or wanting to know more about, how to help themselves and their family be healthy. That’s why we’re doing these health shops and trying to promote them, so that people can get good information that doesn’t cost them anything, and then know that there is a place to come that will help them be healthy, and not just be on drugs or treatments. At Natural Health, we are working towards holistic wellness for you and your whole family and friends and relatives. We want to change the healthcare paradigm from that of disease management, as it is now, to one of healthful vitality with people enjoying life and having lots of energy.

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...
