Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

I hope that you all have a wonderful 4th of July. I didn't go to any fireworks display but really enjoyed watching the record setting display in Washington DC. It was quite amazing and there was lots of smoke. I was really happy to see the big crowds attending and enjoying, not only at the mall area but the surrounding hillsides and apartment buildings that were recording the event. I hope that you enjoyed your 4th of July celebrations and didn't blow anything up- ha.

As we get into summer, I'm reminding patients about hydration issues and the use of our main product for this called Cal-Amo. It's a lifesaver when people are starting to feel tired and wore out from being in the hot weather or having muscle spasms or leg cramps or shin splints, especially at night. Swallowing or chewing up a couple of Cal-Amo with a glass of water just melts these muscle spasms away and keep them from coming back.

The article that I'm reviewing today looks at the absorption of vitamin D in supplement form working better during the day. The problem with this article is it's looking at vitamin D3 supplements in mega-doses and only talking about blood work findings of D3 which, of course, is incomplete for what it actually takes to be healthy.

I find that most patients after age 35 or 40 start to lose the ability to digest as well, and especially with oils and fats, handled by the bile which comes from the liver. Many people have, unfortunately, abused their livers over time and are not absorbing good nutrition as they age, which makes them just age faster.

We work very hard to get the digestive system working correctly at Natural Health so that patients can absorb the good nutrients in their food and the good Whole Foods concentrate supplements that we use here at Natural Health, which strengthens the body and helps it to repair the damage that has been done.

I make the point that it's not the age that causes aging but the mileage meaning that the more stress and strains you're under, the faster you will age if you don't replace the nutrition that the body has used to handle these stresses.

I find it especially important for folks that are working out and trying to remain healthy as they age but then are not replacing any of the good nutrition that the body needs to repair these musculoskeletal structures, and cardiovascular energies, that they use up and then wonder why they have injuries or cannot keep doing some form of exercise.

It's not really rocket science if you think about it but common sense that the body needs to replace what a person uses throughout their daily life somehow. If you don't feed it correctly and get the body to digest and absorb these repair building blocks correctly, how do you expect the body to stay healthy with good energy and vitality to enjoy life?

That is our purpose here at Natural Health, to help our patients to regain and maintain true health and live a life with vitality, energy, and happiness!
