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.

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
