Fear Not

Welcome back Natural Health Family. February is still heart month for us at Natural Health. Heart health is an important topic because we can see that heart dis-ease is responsible for the most deaths in this Nation. Let’s talk about how we can flip this around so that we can help our hearts stay strong and healthy. 

Have you ever had to do something that might have scared you or maybe you thought it was impossible for you to do? Maybe it was a certain activity like free falling out of a plane, giving a speech, being the leader of a group, or just telling someone how you feel about a certain circumstance? When you look back I’m sure you have had an experience like this likely more than once. Many times we are quick to forget how powerful and courageous we can be. We can get caught in being comfortable in the fear of not doing something or experiencing new possibilities. Imagine if many of the people who have created many helpful inventions, started positive movements, led people to work together, etc. were too frightened to do so. Where would we be in the here and now? It was the faith and courage of these people that made the world a greater place to live. 


The fear of how things will work or what’s going on in the world can be a limiting factor in how we can have more joy, more appreciation, more fun in life. However, many times fear can seem overwhelming but really can be nothing more than a thought. Practicing more joy in our lives not only helps us feel more alive but also is good for our hearts. Appreciate you taking the time to read this and have a great week!

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...
