Is your child getting enough Omega-3?

Is your child getting enough Omega-3?

Brain Development

Research has shown that Omega-3 fatty acids, known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an important ingredient for proper brain function.  DHA is found in high concentration in the gray matter of our brains.   By making brain cell membranes more fluid, we improve the communication between the brain cells.  Unfortunately, the average diet that most adults have, and almost certainly our children’s diets, rarely include the Omega-3 fatty acids that we need.

Because of the importance of Omega-3  to our bodies and brain development of our youth (and adults alike), we formed a partnership with Dr. James Chestnut of Innate Choice Supplements. 

Innate Choice offers the three essential natural supplementsthat science and research tells us you need for the rest of your life:  Omega-3, Vitamin D, and Probiotics. And unlike so many supplement companies, Innate Choice NEVER uses synthetics or artificially concentrates their products.

Innate Choice’s Omega Sufficiency product is the world's premier EPA/DHA omega 3 fish oil. Each teaspoon or 4 capsules provides 740-825 mg of EPA and 460-550 mg of DHA omega 3 essential fatty acids which have been scientifically shown to be a crucial requirement for health and important in the prevention of illnesses such as heart disease, arthritis, ADD, depression, stroke, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's.  Omega Sufficiency® is flavored with 100% natural lemon extract - it actually tastes good! Because of the high quality and purity of the oil there is no fishy taste, no fishy smell, and no fishy aftertaste. Even kids like it! And for kids, Omega has shown positive effects in brain development.

So please contact your HealthSource Physician today to discuss Omega Sufficiency and how it can help your child (and yourself) with brain development, and as an important component to overall wellness and leading a healthy, active lifestyle.

Condition Of the Week From Your Chiropractor: Shoulder Pain

Your son wants to throw the ball around? Not today. Laundry piling up, but it’s too painful to separate whites from colors?
Life can get pretty rough when you have Shoulder Pain. You never think about how important your arms are until you can’t use one of them because of the searing, pinching pain that shouts into your shoulder at even the slightest movement. Shoulder pain affects an estimated 27 million people each year.

What are the causes of shoulder pain?

Some of the most common causes for shoulder pain include:

• Neck and midback pain that’s trickling down
It may surprise you, but when you have excruciating neck
and midback pain, it can sometimes be felt in the shoulder. That’s why it’s so important to have an examination to truly pinpoint where your problem is.

• Impingement syndrome
When the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles become irritated and inflamed it causes this common affliction. Shoulder overhead movements are made all but impossible.

• Frozen shoulder
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition severely restricts movement. Using Progressive Rehab® will strengthen
the area around the pain while also relieving spasms and reduce swelling that are symptomatic of the area.

• Arthritis
While not as common as hip or knee arthritis, shoulder arthritis is no less painful and debilitating.

For more information regarding shoulder pain contact your local HealthSource Chiropractor.

Spring is in the air [well in some parts of the country] and you know what that means: Baseball!!  According to the American Heart Association playing baseball is a good way to get both vigorous and moderate exercise.

Here are 5 of the health/fitness benefits baseball provides:

• Improves upper body strength, specifically noticeable in the arms.

• Develops leg muscles with the short bursts of sprinting required.

• Increases the flexibility of feet and hands.

• Builds hand-eye coordination.

• Develops mental focus, concentration and refreshes the mind from everyday distractions.

Swinging, running, catching, and even walking to and from the dugout are exercises that may amp up your metabolism and burn calories.  According to MayoClinic.com, a person who weighs 160 pounds can burn 365 calories playing baseball for one hour.

The Right 4 Questions to Ask About Your Child’s Health and Your’s

It's all about the questions we ask. The questions you ask come from a point of view, or understanding, you have about things you've learned, experienced or come to believe along life's journey. As a simple example, if we see a wilting plant our desire to get the plant well leads to questions about how to prevent it from wilting. Therefore, our past experiences give us an idea of what questions one should ask to figure out what is wrong with the plant. Some of the initial questions would be: Does it need water? Does it have too much water? Does it get enough sunlight? Does it get too much sunlight?

You get the idea. The questions are all centered on the end result. Now let's change direction, what questions would one would ask if having our children reach their fullest potential was the desired end result? What can we do? What will it take? Is my child healthy? Do I know what childhood health is in today's society? Where do we begin?

WOW, a little overwhelming!! TAKE A DEEP BREATH IN because it's much easier than you think!

Many dictionaries, research reports, and unlimited sites on the internet provide the definition to the word health. The most accepted is from the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and does not consist only of the absence of disease or infirmity." Though this is a useful and accurate definition, using the W.H.O. definition classifies 70-95% of people as unhealthy. However, it falls short in providing a set of directions.

The reality is that our health is like nature. Nature is programmed to succeed. Nature is programmed to strive for its best. Not some of the time, but all of the time. Nature does not need help throughout its course, it merely requires no interference. This principle is the same for our children. Children, adults, animals, plants, essentially all living things are genetically designed by our creator to strive for this natural state of health and balance. Children are no exception.

From the above point of view that nature needs no help just no interference, there are four things one can do to help sustain and enhance our health. And, if the child or adult is not healthy, it will surely be a guiding light towards the destination of health. It will take re-examining your point of view, your beliefs about your health and your habits. Do the current habits guide towards a healthy existence in the future or not?

The steps are very basic in nature. Although they are basic, they are unfortunately, in today's society, overlooked and mostly forgotten. We must eat, move and think right under the environment of no interference to nature. These are essential to sustain and maximize our health and life.

1. First is to eat well. In order to eat well we, and especially our children, must eat plenty of what our creator put on this earth. We must insist they eat daily an abundance of fresh fruit, veggies, seeds, nuts, and moderate amounts of animal protein. Yes, we must insist. Eat these foods as close to its natural way as possible. For example: fresh fruit (3 to 5 pieces per day) vs. fruit roll ups grilled chicken vs. fried chicken fresh spinach or dark greens vs. Iceberg Lettuce The list can go on and on, but you get the general idea.

2. Second, we must move well and regularly encourage it. Moving well and playing with our children kicking the ball, walking the dog, jumping rope vs. the current trend of becoming a couch potato even if it's an interactive game such as the the Wii fit. We need to use exercise therapy to bring the family units together as well as regain some of our physical abilities that have been lost from lack of use. Its fun, now get out and play!

3. Third, we must teach our children how to think and maintain a positive outlook. Daily training on happy thoughts and positive thinking are critical to the future outcome of our children. Teach thoughts and habits which are uplifting and life promoting vs. "stinky thinking". This is a wonderful way to ensure many smiles along the way. No one wants to be around a stink bomb. Don't be or allow your children to be the stink bomb in their own life!

4. Lastly, and sometimes the most challenging, we must avoid interfering with nature's ability to be whole, healthy and complete. The human body has the ability to be whole, healthy and balanced. When it is not, it is not because it does not know how to be so.... it is because something is interfering with its natural ability to be whole, healthy and balanced. In the human body lies the wiring to all body parts and systems which allows it to maintain all systems working and functioning automatically. Thank goodness because with today's busy schedule we would be sure to forget something to do within this body, like breath; digest, repair, regenerate tissue, pump blood to all areas, send signals to use the bathroom, etc. This system is called our nervous system. Our nervous system knows exactly what to do and when exactly to do it in order to maximize the ability of the human body and it always strives for balance, health and wholeness. This does not happen every now and then, it happens all the time. Again, when something is programmed to strive for health and it's not because it doesn't know how... it's because something is interfering with this natural ability. Nervous system interference is detectable at early stages prior to any signs or symptoms that we have been lead to believe are 'common', 'normal' and or part of 'childhood growing up'. It's our points of view, our thinking of what is normal that lead us to asking the questions we ask. Have you ever thought of asking questions from a point of view using the law of nature as your point of reference? The constant is that nature never fails unless its environment is being interfered with. Just as with the wilting plant, it did not have what it needed to strive for wholeness, balance and health.

Remember, healthy and well asked questions center around the ultimate objective of attaining and maintaining health. Throughout childhood 100% is expected. If 100% is expected of them, then we, as parents, should take a close look at the lifestyle habit we are promoting and ask ourselves the difficult question of are those habits promoting a long term healthy lifestyle for our children. By following the four steps above, the human body, as with the plant, will return to its natural state of health. The amount of time it takes is dependent on the level of "wilting" present.
