Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-
I hope that you enjoyed the weekend. It was another big tease on spring coming soon. If you could be out in the sun, even with the wind blowing, it felt almost warm. But when the sun was under the clouds, it felt cold to me, especially with that much wind. At the office, were kind of in that middle space of some colds and flu from the winter but soon, will be looking at more allergy type problems from the flowers and grasses growing. I know that I’m sure looking forward to seeing it green up everywhere. I won’t even mind mowing the grass for the first several times. And just so you know, we do have great nutritional products to help with those lingering colds and flu and to help with the upcoming allergy issues.
We’re starting to good use to our new Health Shop and Patient Education Workshop schedule. Our health shop last week Wells well watched and had good comments. As we’ve started into March now, we will have the patient education workshops in office on the first and third Monday, and then the big health shop, being taped live on Instagram and Facebook, on the fourth Monday. We haven’t had a lot of guests at the patient education workshops yet but I think that will change as we start developing new patients and their friends coming to the patient education workshops, and that the weather has gotten better and the days are growing longer. I know that people kind of got used to being homebodies with this covert goofball stuff, but hopefully people will want to get out more, and learn about health more, as spring comes and it’s more fun to be outside and move around. There’s always lots of good information on being healthy at the patient education workshops and everyone is welcome, just call the office to make your reservation so that we can have the “goodie bags” ready when you get there.
The article that I’m sending along this week looks at eating flowers as a nutrient, vitamin, and mineral source. Most people think of flowers as just being pretty but many of the colors in the flowers are good nutrients and good antioxidants. Of course, you have to know which flowers are edible but that is described in the article and that information could be found online in many places. I tend to like the use of Standard Process and Mediherb nutritional sources, as they’ve already done all the footwork to gather and test these herbs and flowers and plants. Another point here is this also helps us realize there are so many good natural plants and foods to help us be healthy and most people don’t know much about them. We have gotten ourselves lulled into this mainstream medical model of eat, drink, and be merry and then when you have a health issue, come in and will give you medications or surgeries and that’s not health. At Natural Health, we work towards getting our patients to understand what it takes to be healthy and they find then that all of their symptoms melt away. This even works for weight loss as consuming a diet that is healthy and not loaded full of refined carbs, and getting the metabolism of the body to work correctly, helps with a healthy weight loss. And, to maintain this weight loss, there must be a lifestyle change so that you don’t end up right back where you were. Many folks know about this when they start a particular “diet” and they do lose weight, but then when they stop the diet, all the weight comes back plus more. Our goal is to get patients to just be healthy and the weight stays off all by itself.
