Vitamin B Family

 Hello Everyone in the Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you had a great weekend and enjoyed the rain.  It made for some damp, cold feelings but we need the moisture.  We are finally into December and now we can really start worrying about Christmas-ha.  We had some great health shops last month talking about getting ourselves ready for winter and you can review them on Brighteon.com and on YouTube.  It’s kind of a strange feeling in December where we are looking forward to the Christmas holiday but not so much the winter weather.  Hopefully, it will be a mild winter, more like last year, but we’ll see.

                Don’t forgive about our health shops on Monday evening at 6:15. We’ve broadcast them live on Instagram and Facebook and then put the recording on Brighteon.com and YouTube.  In December, we will be talking about holiday stress and eating and what to try to avoid in this holiday season.  Unfortunately, we have so many holiday traditions of eating baked goods and cookies and candies which, I know the bakers are using their craft to help people be happy, but the consequences can be devastating for the new year.  This is not only in weakening the immune system but also adding weight that people will be worried about starting after the new year.  We need to start new traditions like eating carrots rather than divinity fudge-ha.

                The article that sending along this week looks at the need for vitamin B12 in healing.  The article goes on to explain many of the other reasons why this vitamin is important and the food sources that this vitamin is in.  At Natural Health, we think there is a need for all the vitamins, not just vitamin B12.  The B vitamin family is especially important to help folks handle stress and to keep their autonomic nervous system able to calm down so they can rest at night, and have energy during the day.  One of the biggest factors that reduces the B vitamins in our body is refined carbohydrates, like refined sugar.  This harkens back to the information in the previous paragraph.  I feel that this is a big component as to why people get so stressed out during the holidays and why families have squabbles.  If everyone was cool and calm and could talk to each other without emotions, the holidays would be much more enjoyable.  Life is just too short to not pay attention to these things and not be able to enjoy your friends and family.  We know that people will not live forever but we want people to live well as long as they can.

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...
