Chiropractic Helps Inflammation and Pain

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

                Another great weekend but a little colder. We’re starting to catch some rains I hope this all stays liquid for quite a while longer. My sister that lives in Minnesota, is having snow and I hope she keeps it up there. Sounds like a little cooler this week but then warmer on the weekend. It seems that around Halloween time, the weather is not very good but there been many Thanksgivings with really nice weather. Let’s hold off winter as long as possible.

                October, of course, is National Chiropractic Month and it’s important for folks to realize how important chiropractic adjusting can be to help promote health. With all the stresses and strains that we have in our daily life, our bodies get abused and a good adjustment helps to reestablish the normal nerve flow that helps our bodies to stay healthy. Combine this with good nutritional care and dietary boundaries and you have a great equation equaling good health. This week in our health shop, we will be talking about pain and inflammation and how chiropractic can help. Many people don’t realize that inflammation is put in areas to help it to heal, and pain is there to keep you from irritating the area anymore until it heals, so there is a purpose for both pain and inflammation. The idea with adjusting the areas, and use nutritional supplements to help it heal faster, is to keep the pain and inflammation down to a minimum while the body fixes itself. Just using medication to cover up the pain and stopped inflammation only makes the underlying problem worse and leads towards scar tissue or arthritis.

                In speaking of the body fixing itself, there are many great nutrients in certain foods that help the body to do just that. With chiropractic adjusting allowing the normal nerve flow to give the body direction in healing, it’s important to realize that the raw materials must be there for the body to rebuild an area that has been damaged. The article that I’m sending along looks at a nutrient, Quercetin, that helps with many different functions of the body, especially the immune system. Nature has many of these types of nutrients available, if, and this is a big if, the body’s digestive system is working to the point that it can digest and absorb the foods that have these nutrients in them. That is probably the big difference between what we do here at Natural Health, and many advertised nutritional supplements. It Is that the advertisers never talk about digestion and absorption, only how great the product is. There are barriers that must be broken through that allow the body to heal itself and that’s what we do with our Nutrition Response Testing, find these barriers. The body is meant to be well and has the ability to do that if the barriers are removed and the raw materials are there.

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
