Healthy by Nature radio show this week
Should children with learning issues simply veg out over summer vacation? My guest Dr. Jeffrey A. Marler of Aspire Interventions says that would be a big missed opportunity. Certain fun activities can prepare kiddos to be much better prepared to pay attention and learn in the fall. Nutrition Health Coach and Education Specialist Jon Clinthorn, PhD of Natural Grocers debunks the negative press about multivitamins and proposes a basic supplement plan.

 The Good Excuse Department
We are slaving away finalizing our brand new website. It will be fresh, modern and most importantly, much easier to navigate the hundreds of pages of content in the Health Library. I’m noting this to explain why I’m lightening up a bit on the newsletter this week. But, as you will see, there are some great opportunities for learning coming up soon and maybe I have earned my keep just telling you about them.

Vitamin A for Hearing
In last week’s newsletter, I listed some Vitamin A effects and teased this week’s connection of A to hearing. Vitamin A is well known for helping vision (e.g. night blindness) but until I saw this article by Bill Sardi, I had no idea how important vitamin A is for our hearing apparatus. Apparently, neither did the experts who put together this page on vitamin A deficiency.

Anyone wishing to avoid hardening of the arteries, osteoporosis, dental decay, cancer, wrinkles or obesity…Plus pregnant women, diabetics and those confused that calcium seems to add to heart disease risk…Okay, I guess that covers just about everyone.
