Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-
I hope that you enjoyed your weekend. It got cold and windy so looking more like winter all the time. For those who like the snow, it looks like you may get your wishes. I’ve noticed that since they have started the flu shots, there is a lot of sickness around. Our focus at Natural Health is on the immune system side, not really worrying about the “bugs”. The human body has been able to handle all the bugs in the environment throughout history, as long as it is healthy. When the body becomes stressed from overwork or from lack of good food, water, or whatever reason, the immune system suffers. This can allow the bugs to get out of control and you have a diagnosed infection. Antibiotics are great and have saved many lives over the years but being prescribed an antibiotic does not help the body become healthy, and no importance is given to healthy activities by the medics. It’s all about drugs and treatment and nothing about health. We work on the other side of the coin at Natural Health with great whole food nutritional supplements to feed the immune system and prevent disease. The body has to fight different bugs but if the immune system is strong, the symptoms are minor and don’t last long. Get Healthy!
The article that I’m sending along this week looks at balancing the Dopamine – Serotonin levels in the brain to help symptoms of Depression and Anxiety. Of course, the article talks about using drugs to do that. Later on in the article, it talks about using saturated fats to help with this. At Natural Health, we like to use the natural approach and have noticed that saturated fats have been given a black eye for decades. This is one of the reasons for Depression and Anxiety in the first place. Many folks have overloaded livers and don’t digest and absorb fats very well so these problems need to be handled before relying on this approach. Good fats are great sources of vitamins A, D, E, and K but again the liver has to be in good shape to process this food source. We help a lot of people with Depression and Anxiety because we get the digestive system and immune system and all the systems of the body working normally. Almost all symptoms are a red flag put out by the body that something is going wrong and it needs help. Using medication only to suppress symptoms and not handle the cause, sets the body up for future degenerative disease. Degenerative disease is a pandemic in this country and it won’t get better if folks only rely on drugs and insurance for “health”. At Natural Health, we’re working on underlying reasons for the symptoms, and they just go away. The same way with losing weight and increasing energy and having the ability to enjoy life.
