Holidays Plans

 Good day Natural Health Family! I imagine everyone has been getting plans set for the upcoming holidays. Thanksgiving is close and with that comes good food and good company. Everyone has had different experiences when it comes to thanksgiving and the holidays. The main thing is that it can be a time for connecting and celebrating with friends and loved ones. However you celebrate, remember to enjoy this time with others.

Today I ask you what your intention is going into the holidays? Many times, when we are going to start anything or go to an event, we sometimes can fall into the trap of hoping nothing goes wrong rather than just enjoying the flow of it all. Just like an athlete that intends to score a point and win the game, it is similar with our interactions during the holidays. When we are conscious of what we do or how we choose to spend our time we will be able to clearly see when we get out of alignment and get back on. When we set an intention to connect with others, to enjoy our time, etc. we are not moved by things that we don’t want to engage in such as eating too many sweets. Rather we choose to enjoy the whole experience of it all. When we are more conscious of our own focus and energy, we are better able to make the most of the time we spend with others.

As kids we don’t mainly think about all the things that we have to do, the responsibilities we have, etc. but mainly what is in front of us. Then as adults we may get carried away in perhaps thinking too much or worrying about things that we can’t control. Sometimes we can learn from kids who can show us that we can enjoy more of life by being in the moment. 

Thanks for reading and have a great Thanksgiving week!

Dr. Chip

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...
