Natural News for Women

With the benefits of vitamin D being covered in this issue of Natural News try to get some exposure to the sun without make up and sunscreen so that vitamin D can be manufactured through your skin.  If you are worried about osteoporosis then it is even more important to get some sunlight and even ask your doctor or contact my clinic and we can arrange a vitamin D blood test for you. 

 

As always I hope you enjoy this issue of Natural News with a special feature on thyroid health.  It is a problem that effects more women than men and is a common problem with women coming into the clinic.  The case study this month also features thyroid function because if you are told you have a borderline result then you can always ask your doctor to follow a wait and see approach, put into place the nutritional recommendations and then re-test to see if there has been an improvement. This is not going work for everybody but it is well worth the try over a three month period.

Dear Reader,

This issue of Natural News is packed full of some very interesting articles including using the mind to help you lose weight. The mind and body are very much interlinked and it is possible to create either a negative cycle between the mind and body or a positive one. So there are tips in this Natural News to use your mind to help with weight loss.

Also featured is an article on headaches and migraines because they can be so debilitating and effect the quality of your life. This article looks at tracking down the food triggers because if certain foods are contributing to the number of attacks, then at least you may be able to control some of them.

In January 2008, a report was issued by the Cabinet Office which estimated that 42,200 deaths a year could be saved if we ate more fruit and vegetables. In the UK we are advised to eat five a day fruit and veg and only just about half of us manage to achieve that each day. But I thought you might be interested to know the recommendations in other countries. In Denmark it is six a day and in Australia seven broken down into five portions of veg and two of fruit, In France it is ten, in Canada five to ten, in the US five to thirteen, and in Japan a staggering seventeen portions a day (thirteen of vegetables and four of fruit).

So as you go shopping over this month, see if you can include more fruit and vegetables into your diet.

Kind regards

Dear Reader,

It is not long now before the days start to get longer and we get some extra light. Having more light can make such a difference to our moods and general feeling of wellbeing.

Try to get outside for a walk each day even just for thirty minutes to get even the weak sunlight on your skin as we now know how important vitamin D is, not only for keeping bones strong and preventing osteoporosis but also for prevention of cancer (especially breast cancer) and heart disease. When you go out for the walk, don’t wear any make up or creams that have in-built sun protection factors otherwise your skin can’t manufacture vitamin D from the sunlight.

In this issue of Natural News there is an article on getting a hay fever prevention plan in action ready for the summer months to help lessen the symptoms or even prevent them in the first place. There is now so much in the news about the benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids on health especially children’s intellectual development that I thought it would be useful to include an article to show how Omega 3 fatty acids can be useful in other areas of health in this case fertility. Over the last century there has been an 80% decrease in the consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids so we are not eating enough of these essential fats in our diet and yet they are so important for many aspects of our health. If you are not eating enough of these essential fats in your diet then you should add in an Omega 3 fish oil supplement each day.

I hope you are enjoying Natural News and thank you for your feedback which is really useful in knowing what you want.

Kind regards
