Avoiding Hidden Sugars

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you have a great weekend and were able to get your Christmas shopping almost done.  It seems like we’re never completely done until the last day as we keep thinking of ways to help others be happy during the holidays.  It almost becomes like an obsessive/ compulsive disorder.  We’ve lucked out with some halfway decent weather but I’m sure it will get cold eventually.  We’re seeing several patients now with colds and flu which usually happens when they start with the jabs.  It’s just really important to realize that we have an immune system that can keep us from having problems if we strengthen it during the cold weather.  All that mainstream medicine wants to do is worry about the bugs and give no good information on strengthening your immune system.  It’s the opposite here at Natural Health, where we focus on how the body is supposed to work and the underlying causes of why a person gets sick.

                We are getting a lot of attention now on our health shops and this week we’re talking about why to avoid sugar and the hidden dangers there.  This month were talking about getting ready for winter and realizing that there are things you can do to avoid the colds and flu that normally come with the cold weather.  Winter can be enjoyable if you keep your immune system tuned up, stay hydrated, and keep the humidity at a good amount in your house.  The holidays are always a stress for folks because it’s so busy and people are not eating very well.  They made eat a lot but it’s the wrong kind of foods.  That’s what we’ll talk a lot about in the health shop this week.  And it’s not to say you can never have any sweets, but just know to limit them and eat lots of good foods at other times.

                The article that I’m sending along this week goes along with this theme.  It talks about the natural remedies to handle colds and flu.  There are many good things to help with sickness, once you have them, but there are many advertised products that actually make the problem worse.  This article goes into explaining about why that is.  If people ever figure out that they have an immune system that they can strengthen themselves and have the ability to heal their own bodies from illnesses, the advertisers’ and mainstream medicine will be in quite a state.  If they can get you to believe that it’s all about bugs and genetics, then they can convince you that you have no way of helping yourself.  Of course, the opposite is true, and that’s what we were helping patients with here at Natural Health.  Your genes are only a blueprint and it’s the environments, which includes diet, that controls which genes are turned on and off.  It’s also important to realize that the body is supposed to run on certain foods and many of the processed foods that are in grocery stores are anti foods, meaning there a detriment to being actually healthy.  Again, it’s not to say you can never have those foods but realize what they are, not nutrition and not helping the body to heal or strengthen itself.

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...
