Holiday Meanings

Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone got to enjoy the nice weather as there may not be many more days this year, but you never know it is the Midwest! We all know that the weather change can be more dynamic during this time of the year. We know also that holidays are coming and the many things that come with it. Sometimes this can bring up many things for a lot of people such as memories, feelings, and all of what we must do to prepare for what is coming. Life can be what we make it and although sometimes it might not seem to go the way we want we also have the choice to make the most of it.

    The holidays can mean different things for many people. Depending on life circumstances it can have different associations that come with these times. Society has led us to believe we need so many things which makes us want to get all the good deals to get all the different gifts or items. This is not good or bad, but we can also focus on the connection with others and enjoying the company of our friends and loved ones. We have seen that although it is called thanksgiving, people have gotten so worked up about it, forgetting to appreciate what they have now. It can be a time of great fun and enjoying gifts, the gifts that we give and receive. Nonetheless, let’s not forget the great gift of life.

     We are all on this earth for a period and nobody knows how much that will be. If we look at the life and nature around us, we can learn many lessons. That life has its seasons of growth and change. Even though winter can have its challenges, it can bring many blessings. Let’s remember that sometimes when we experience the bad it can help us realize much of the good. 

Have a great 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...
