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.

Your Chiropractic Office Discusses 5 Ways To Feed Your Brain

How often do you feed your brain? Think about it? Do you read, eat healthy and exercise?

Research has shown that the capacity of the average person’s brain outweighs what they use it for. The human brain cell can hold five-times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. But do we educate it enough? Do we get it ready for our life race? Do we train it, exercise it?

Here are 5 ways you can exercise that wonderful brain of yours:

1. Exercise helps to increase brain function and enhances neurogenesis. Guess What? Every time you exercise you are creating new brain cells! More reason to stay fit!

2. Think Positive it helps to lower stress! The science of thinking positive is called neuroplasticity. It means that our thoughts can change the function and structure of our brains. Happy Brain=Happy Life!

3. Read a book or whatever you can get your hands on. It helps feed the brain and use your imagination. Education + Imagination = Creativity!

4. Training memory is a great way to work out your precious brain. Just like training for a marathon it is essential to test your memorizing skills. Try memorizing phone numbers and birthdays to start!

5. Eat healthy to impact your brain. According to Oregon State University’s Linus Pauling Institute, proper nutrition is essential for normal cognition, or thinking skills. Think low fat and high in nutrients!
