It's December

 It’s December! How’s everyone doing in the Natural Health Family? I imagine everyone is doing well especially since this year has been mild regarding the weather. This time of the year can be challenging but it also can be a time of excitement. The holidays remind us that we can be joyous even when there seems to be chaos and issues in the world. Celebration is not only found in our holiday seasons but can be a choice for us every day of our lives. Let’s talk about how we can bring more joy into our lives.

When was a time where you may have been upset, worried, overwhelmed, scared, etc? It may have been a year ago, a month, or even very recent. Now I ask you, where you are right now, can you say that whatever the circumstance or event that happened, did it work out? Many times, we can catch ourselves in the hustle and bustle of the world, the way we think it should go, the endless chatter of the mind, the minor issues that we sometimes complain about, and the list can go on. However, it is up to us to stop that pattern. To realize and embrace what is now and what we can do to bring more joy into our life. Sometimes it’s not a matter of forcing and striving to change the way someone else thinks, to think we can worry ourselves out of a situation or to try to figure out the problem. Many times, it comes down to slowing down, taking a breath and realizing what is in our power to make the change. Sometimes when we have been struggling for a while to get the solution, we have been trying to force an outcome, we can realize that our efforts are better made towards letting go and allowing life to bring the solution to us. This can allow us to bring more joy into our life.

The holidays can help us come back to that realization that life has its ups and downs, its left and rights, its joys and its sorrows and even with that we can choose to celebrate life more fully. So, when life seems to be moving fast remember to slow down and take time to take it all in. This life offers many things to be joyful for and we can choose to celebrate those little moments. 

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...
