Preparing Your Health for Winter

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

I hope that you enjoyed your weekend. It was a nice fall weekend and we got some more rain. I celebrated my 65 birthday and it’s hard to believe that those many years have went by. As old as I am, I get a kick out of people talking about a bad winter or a good winter or how the weather has gotten generally worse are generally better, hotter or colder. I’ve been around long enough to see all types of weather and weather patterns and it’s different every year. I’ve seen temperatures as high as 107 and three or 4 feet of snow during the winter. It’s all different and not a political agenda-ha.

This month during our health shops, we are starting a new topic Getting Ready for Winter. This week we’ll talk about fall allergies and we have dealt with a lot of those symptoms over the last couple months. Hopefully harvest is about over so the combines will stop spewing out dust and pollen from the crops, and we’ve got a little more rain to clean the dust and pollen from the air. We will talk about how to help keep the sinuses from being irritated in the winter, which causes drainage, which people may think are allergies but may just be a chronic cold or sinus irritation on an ongoing basis.

The article that I’m sending along looks at the need for vitamin B12 to help with depression. I find that most people that have any type of emotional issues are deficient in B vitamins in general. B vitamins are water-soluble so the body cannot store those for very long and the consumption of refined sugar burns these vitamins up so there’s nothing left for the brain to use. We have many good nutritional supplements that we use for brain health and B vitamin supplementation. These supplements are not only good for brain health but for the rest of the body as well. An example is our Cataplex G product, which helps the body to be able to calm down for sleep purposes. Again, using a medication that drugs the body to sleep is not healthy, it may help with the symptom but actually makes the underlined condition worse. Natural food supplements are the way to go, especially if your diet is lacking and you’re eating a lot of on the go or processed foods. The processing removes a lot of the good nutrition, that is why these foods last longer on the shelves. Most of the time when eating processed foods, you’re just absorbing the carbohydrates which can give you energy and make you feel full, but are not really helping with repair of the body and with normal body functions. We also do a lot of work here at Natural Health, on digestion and absorption which is just as important as consuming the good foods.
