Midwest Winter Weather

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                I hope that you’re hanging in there with his cold weather.  I was listening to some people talking this morning and they were talking about how the cold should kill all the bugs.  I wish that was true but they’ll be back, and not only the bugs we see in the summer on leaves, but the bacteria and viruses that are in and on our bodies all the time.  We hear from the experts about us catching this disease or that disease but the question is why doesn’t everyone catch the disease?  It’s not a question of the bug but a question of the body’s immune system and how strong it is, or isn’t.  Mainstream medicine does not talk much about the immune system because if they did, then you would know that there’s something you can do to help yourself, but if it’s just a happenstance that you come across this or that bug, then you think there’s nothing you can do to help stay away from sickness, other than wearing a mask or social distancing, which of course, doesn’t work.  There are many great ways to strengthen your immune system.  We do it all the time here at Natural Health and are ready and willing to help you and yours.

                One of the best ways to help your immune system is to be able to handle the stress in your life and environment.  Your body must be able to metabolize energy correctly for the mechanisms of the body to be able to handle its environment.  This month in our health shops, we’re talking about weight loss and health.  This week we’re talking about metabolism and how it affects the body, not only with strengthening the immune system and having energy, but if the body is stressed, it’s hard to lose weight.  With our Nutrition Response Testing technique, we can find the imbalances in the hormone systems of the body and get metabolism working correctly again.  The experts like to blame obesity as the cause of disease but it is actually the result of the body being out of balance and unable to metabolize correctly.  This is what lends towards disease processes and weight is actually just another symptom.  Don’t forget that these health shops are at 6:15 on Monday nights on Instagram and Face Book live, and then we’ll post them to Brighteon.com and Youtube for later watching.

                The article than sending along this week goes right along with this in that it’s an expose type of article on how the drug companies work to keep us sick so they can make more money.  This has been going on for decades, but people are slow to accept that fact because it’s so much easier to just eat junk food and not pay attention to health and take medication that insurance pays for, rather than actually taking responsibility for your health and doing actions that help the health process.  I talk to patients a lot about all the holidays that we go through that tend to keep the eating sugary junk foods, which moves us into a bad habit of doing this. and we forget about all the good foods that we should be eating almost exclusively.  Our society is just built up this way and you must become aware of it to do something about it.  Sort of like an alcoholic must accept the fact that he is an alcoholic before he can go forward with treatment.  Our society needs to realize that we are sugarholics before we can decide not to buy this stuff and be healthy so that life is easier and the quality of life extends to the end.  Get Healthy, Stay Healthy, and Live Well-Dr. Mark

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.

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...

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...
