Vegetables—raw or cooked?

Whether it is because you made a New Year’s Resolution to eat healthier food; or you want to lose weight by trading some of your starchy carbs for vegetables; or you know your friendly bacteria are waiting for their dinner; or you’ve just had a nagging voice in your head (memory of Mom’s advice?) that […]

When you need professional help

We often hear the claim that the US medical system is the best in the world. Really? For darn sure, if I’m ever in a serious accident, I hope it is here because our doctors are second to none at putting us back together. They are also skilled at helping us hang on a little […]

BIG improvements for 2023 from small changes

It is that time of year when most of us plan to do better in the months ahead. However, too many “turn-over-a-new-leaf” health resolutions fail. That is often because optimistic folks bite off too much at once thereby setting themselves up to fail. On the other hand, we could tackle just one of the items […]

Couldn’t hurt!

For example, the shutdowns caused economic disaster for many, and we now know that school closings caused great emotional and educational harm to kids. As we have learned on Healthy by Nature […]

I am thankful for gratitude

As the great quote says, “It is not happiness that brings us gratitude, it is gratitude that brings us happiness.” With that in mind, the title above isn’t as silly as it might seem at first. Also, gratitude seems to be good for our health. (On Pubmed.gov I searched the database for “gratitude and health”. […]

Migraines are a Real Pain in the…in the…Head!

Although there is new information, this blog is largely a repeat of one that I did awhile back. My reasons: new subscribers wouldn’t have seen it; others might have an interest now that they didn’t before (e.g. a friend with migraines); the find-the-root-cause message applies to many other problems; and, so sorry, I needed a […]
