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.

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...
