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.

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.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
