Spirit of The Holiday Season

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. Thanksgiving has come and gone. It really seemed to go by fast. Now we are back at it again heading more into the spirit of the holiday season. I hope people got their fill on food but more valuable was able to connect with family and friends. Are discussion for this month is prepare for winter. A key aspect to preparing is also embracing. We all want everything to go perfectly but that isn’t always the case. So, when we can embrace what may come knowing that it can be a possibility then it is not so stressful if it comes.

    Whenever we prepare for anything, we typically think of the worst-case scenario. It is theorized that our brain is hardwired for this. Think about the times back in the day when winters might not have been the most fun of times. Without the instant availability of heat, the access to indoor  plumbing, the ability to stock up food for the winter as easy as it is done today, it can be surprising how we managed as a society to pull through. However, we must come to realize that we are strong, especially when we work together. Our ability to adapt is the key to endure triumph or disaster and human beings are very good at adapting to our environment when we are given the ability to do so through learning good healthy practices.

     So, through this wintertime it is important to keep up with healthy practices even if you have some days to celebrate. More importantly also to make this time to look for the good, to celebrate time with our loved ones, and to embrace whatever comes with an open mind and forgiving heart. 

Have a good rest of your week.

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, an...

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...

  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
