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.

HealthSource Chiropractic Dishes on Going Gluten Free!!

Benefits of eating gluten free:

More and more people are beginning to realize that gluten is their enemy, which is why it is nice that grocery and health food stores are starting to carry gluten-free products.  It is no longer a difficult task to locate a gluten free option of your favorite food.

Three things going gluten free can help with:

1. Digestion: Eliminating Gluten may help if you suffer with digestive issues.

2. Energy: Many people with gluten intolerance report a feeling of overall weakness and tiredness.

3. Inflammation: People with gluten intolerance may experience joint pain, muscle cramping and numb legs as a result of eating gluten.

Want to know an easy way to identify what foods have gluten? Just follow the BROWS method—Barley, Rye, Oats, Wheat, Spelt.

A few whole grains don’t contain gluten; include amaranth, rice, millet, and quinoa.

Condition Of the Week From Your Chiropractor: Asthma

Who do you know with Asthma? Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. It causes recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and coughing. Chiropractic is not a treatment for asthma. 

However, many people with asthma report improvement after receiving chiropractic care. Why?

1. The lungs and diaphragm (the muscle used for breathing) are controlled by your nervous system.

2. Nerves that control these areas leave the brain, travel down the spinal cord and exit the mid-cervical (neck) and thoracic regions of the spine.

3. Subluxations (misalignments of spinal bones that irritate nerves) in these areas of the spine can interfere with nerve supply to the lungs causing the lungs to function abnormally.

4. A chiropractor would correct the subluxations, restoring proper nerve supply to the lungs, allowing the lungs to function optimally.

A study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research documented the results of 81 children with asthma who received chiropractic care. The two month study revealed that those under chiropractic care who reported asthma attacks before the study, saw a 45% decrease in the number of attacks, and that 31% of the subjects voluntarily chose to decrease their medication. All this occurred because of improved nervous system control of the lungs.

20 Ways to Get More Fruits and Vegetables in Your Diet

March is National Nutrition Month, so let’s gear up and get more greens in that diet! Here’s 20 ways you can get more fruits and vegetables into your meals.

1) Go crazy with pizza toppings. Try broccoli, spinach, green peppers, mushrooms and zucchini.

2) Mix up a breakfast smoothie made with almond milk, frozen strawberries and a banana.

3) Make a veggie wrap with roasted vegetables and cheese in a whole-wheat tortilla.

4) Try crunchy vegetables with hummus instead of chips and dip.

5) Grill colorful vegetable kabobs packed with tomatoes, green and red bell peppers, onions and mushroom.

6) Add color to salads with baby carrots, grape tomatoes, spinach leaves or mandarin oranges.

7) Keep cut vegetables handy for mid-afternoon snacks, side dishes, lunch box additions or a quick nibble while waiting for dinner.

8) Place colorful fruit where everyone can easily grab something for a snack on the go. For example: keep a bowl of fresh, just ripe whole fruit in the center of your kitchen or dining table.

9) Get saucy with fruit. Puree apples, berries, peaches or pears in a blender for a thick, sweet sauce on grilled or broiled seafood or poultry, or on pancakes, French toast or waffles.

10) Stuff an omelet with vegetables. Turn any omelet into a hearty meal with broccoli, squash, carrots, peppers, tomatoes or onions with low-fat sharp cheddar cheese.

11) “Sandwich” in fruits and vegetables. Add pizzazz to sandwiches with sliced pineapple, apple, peppers, cucumber and tomato as fillings.

12) Wake up to fruit. Make a habit of adding fruit to your morning oatmeal, ready-to-eat cereal, yogurt or toaster waffle.

13) Top a baked potato with beans and salsa or broccoli and low-fat cheese.

14) Microwave a cup of vegetable soup as a snack or with a sandwich for lunch.

15) Add grated, shredded or chopped vegetables such as zucchini, spinach and carrots to lasagna, meat loaf, mashed potatoes, pasta sauce and rice dishes.

16) Make fruit your dessert: Slice a banana lengthwise and top with a scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of chopped nuts.

17) Stock your freezer with frozen vegetables to steam or stir-fry for a quick side dish.

18) Make your main dish a salad of dark, leafy greens and other colorful vegetables. Add chickpeas or edamame (fresh soybeans). Top with low-fat dressing.

19) Fruit on the grill: Make kabobs with pineapple, peaches and banana. Grill on low heat until fruit is hot and slightly golden.

20) Dip: Whole wheat pita wedges in hummus, baked tortilla chips in salsa, strawberries or apple slices in low-fat yogurt, or graham crackers in applesauce.

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.

Chiropractic and Nutrition Advice for a Healthy New You

There is no better way to rejuvenate your health than by eating more nutritiously. In fact, even a few simple changes in your diet and lifestyle can have a positive impact on your health-and can also prevent a variety of health problems in the future. 

The traditional coffee and doughnuts for breakfast; a hamburger for lunch-or no lunch; candy, cookies, and a soft drink for a snack; followed by a huge dinner with more protein than a person needs-are unhealthy dietary choices. As a result, younger people are starting to suffer from heart disease-not only because of poor diet, but also because of an epidemic of inactivity. 

To reverse the alarming trend, many doctors of chiropractic urge patients to stop smoking, eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and augment their balanced diet with appropriate nutritional supplements. 

What Can You Do? 
The ACA offers the following prevention and wellness advice: 

Lifestyle Changes

• Exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes three or four days a week.
• Eat out more sparingly. Food preparation methods in restaurants often involve high amounts-and the wrong types-of fat and sugar.
• Brown-bag your lunch to control your fat and sugar content while adding nutritious fruits, vegetables, and grains.
• Limit your intake of alcohol and quit smoking. Drinking alcohol excessively and/or smoking hinder your body's ability to absorb nutrients from your food.

Dietary Changes

• Eat more raw foods. Cooking and canning destroys much of the nutrition in foods. With the exception of canned tomatoes, which can help prevent prostate cancer,1 fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables always have more natural vitamins and minerals.
• Select organically grown foods when possible, because they have lower amounts of toxic elements, such as pesticides and heavy metals.
• Consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day. Whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, nuts, and some fruits and vegetables are good sources of fiber. High-fiber diets can help prevent digestive disorders, heart disease, and colon cancer.
• Drink eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, and alcohol are dehydrators. Don't substitute them for water.

Vegetarian Diets
Research shows that a good vegetarian diet as part of a comprehensive health program can help prevent heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.2,3 However, fried foods, hydrogenated fats, and commercial meat substitutes may contain more sugar and fat than a meat-eater would consume. 

If you are considering a vegetarian diet, keep the following tips in mind:

• Don't rely on fruits and vegetables at the expense of grains and legumes. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables to consume a wide range of nutrients.
• Tiredness, malaise, and anemia can be signs of deficiencies. Have your B12 and iron levels checked at least once a year.
• Consume fortified foods or take supplements to obtain the nutrients you no longer get from animal-based products, such as vitamin B12.
• Before eliminating animal products from the diet, learn to do it right. Children, pregnant and breast-feeding women, and people recovering from illness should consult their health care practitioners.

Supplements According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, dietary supplements are not substitutes for foods, nor can a person sustain good health by just taking vitamin and mineral supplements.4 When taken properly, however, supplements can play an important role in achieving maximum health. If you are considering nutritional supplements, keep the following tips in mind:

• Remember to consume dark green vegetables, oils, nuts, and seeds, which are sources of magnesium, fatty acids, and many other vitamins and minerals.

Don't "self-prescribe." Consult a health care practitioner, such as a doctor of chiropractic, to determine what supplements are best for you. If you have symptoms such as headaches, chronic fatigue, or cardiac problems, seek professional advice from a health care provider who specializes in nutrition.

Chiropractic for Automobile Accidents: Stillwater, MN 55082

Whiplash

Whiplash is a generic term applied to injuries of the neck caused when the neck is suddenly and/or violently jolted in one direction and then another, creating a whip-like movement. Whiplash is most commonly seen in people involved in motor vehicle accidents, but it can also occur from falls, sports injuries, work injuries, and other incidents.

What structures are injured in a whiplash?
Whiplash injuries most often result in sprain-strain of the neck. The ligaments that help support, protect, and restrict excessive movement of the vertebrae are torn, which is called a sprain. The joints in the back of the spine, called the facet joints, are covered by ligaments called facet capsules, which seem to be particularly susceptible to whiplash injury.

In addition, the muscles and tendons are strained—stretched beyond their normal limits. The discs between the vertebrae, which are essentially ligaments, can be torn, potentially causing a disc herniation. The nerve roots between the vertebrae may also be stretched and become inflamed. Even though it is very rare, vertebrae can be fractured and/or dislocated in a whiplash injury.

What are the common signs and symptoms of whiplash?
The most common symptoms of whiplash are pain and stiffness in the neck. These symptoms are generally found in the areas that are “whiplashed.” For example, during a whiplash, first the head is lifted up from the upper-cervical spine. This creates a sprain/strain in the region just below the skull, where symptoms usually occur. Symptoms may also commonly be seen in the front and back of the neck. Turning the head often makes the pain and discomfort worse.

Headache, especially at the base of the skull, is also a common symptom, seen in more than two thirds of patients. These headaches may be one-sided (unilateral) or experienced on both sides (bilateral). In addition, the pain and stiffness may extend down into the shoulders and arms, upper back, and even the upper chest.

In addition to the musculoskeletal symptoms, some patients also experience dizziness, difficulty swallowing, nausea, and even blurred vision after a whiplash injury. While these symptoms are disconcerting, in most cases, they disappear within a relatively short time. If they persist, it is very important to inform your doctor that they are not resolving. Vertigo (the sensation of the room spinning) and ringing in the ears may also be seen. In addition, some patients may feel pain in the jaw. Others will even complain of irritability, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms also resolve quickly in most cases. In rare cases, symptoms can persist for weeks, months, or even years.

Another important and interesting aspect of whiplash is that the signs and symptoms often do not develop until 2 to 48 hours after the injury. This scenario is relatively common but not completely understood. Some speculate that it may be due to delayed muscle soreness, a condition seen in other circumstances.

How is whiplash treated?

Staying active
One of the most important aspects of whiplash management is for the patient to stay active, unless there is some serious injury that requires immobilization. Patients should not be afraid to move and be active, within reason. In addition, your doctor will often prescribe an exercise or stretching program. It is particularly important to follow this program as prescribed, so that you can achieve the best long-term benefits.

Chiropractic manipulation and physical therapy
Ice and/or heat are often used to help control pain and reduce the muscle spasm that results from whiplash injuries. Other physical therapy modalities, such as electrical stimulation and/or ultrasound, may provide some short-term relief. They should not, however, replace an active-care program of exercise and stretching. Spinal manipulation and/or mobilization provided by a chiropractor can also give relief in many cases of neck pain.

Can whiplash be prevented?
Generally speaking, whiplash cannot be “prevented,” but there are some things that you can do while in a motor vehicle that may reduce the chances of a more severe injury. Always wear restraints (lap or shoulder belt), and ensure that the headrest in your vehicle is adjusted to the appropriate height.

Trying to lose weight and feel like you are struggling?

Trying to lose weight and feel like you are struggling?

You have heard of all these different diets, workouts and magic pills that can help you get to where you want to be. 

The truth is that the key to helping you unlock the ability to shed those unwanted pounds is right inside of you.  Did you know that by understanding your blood sugar and triglyceride levels you could drastically influence how fast you can lose weight? 

Did you know that you can control those levels by slightly adjusting the things that you eat on a regular basis? Well you can!!

Without lowing your bodies glucose  and triglyceride levels your body continues to think that it needs to store moe energy.  Which in its easiest way to understand it is what food truly is, it's energy. 

By decreasing the content of easily digested sugars and increasing the level of protein, fiber and good fats you can lower you blood sugar and triglycerides.  Doing this would allow your bodies phyisology the ability to burn up some of that stored energy and shed those pounds. 

The next thing to think about is making sure you are getting all of your essential nutrients.  They are called essential because your body either can not synthesize enough of them or it can not get enough from your diet.  

Lastly would be to make sure the system that controls your whole digestion system is working properly.  This system is called your Nerve System. If areas like the stomach or the gallbladder are not working properly due to a poor signal from the nervous system all of these things we talked about previously won't matter at all.  

As a chiropractor it is my job to make sure this system (Nervous System) is working properly.  If you would like to make sure your system is working at its best stop in or call to set up an appointment to get it professionally checked.
