Best Greens First Health Drink

bck2action — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 21:01:03 +0000

I can’t stress how important it is to eat your fruits and veggies. If you are in a hurry, or can’t eat at home, and don’t want to buy wilted fruit and veggies at the local corner store, then Greens First is for you.

Made well, mixes well and tastes great (I like to use cold water)

I made a deal with my son last year, that if he drank Greens First in the morning, he didn’t have to eat veggies with dinner. We both won!

If you are interested in getting some, stop by the clinic, or simply order here: Greens First Health Drink

Active Kids Are Smarter Kids

In the face of growing pressure to reduce class time allocated to physical education several studies have published results that have given school administrators, teachers and politicians reason for pause. After a new review of previous studies, scientists have identified what many parents have long suspected – If you provide your child with physical activity they are generally more behaved and better able to concentrate on tasks. When that child is moved into a classroom setting that ability to concentrate becomes even more advantageous. The reviewed studies followed children for several months to a few years. The children that were exposed to regular exercise or physical activity not only gained less weight over the next three years but they also out performed their nonactive peers in math, spelling and reading. It should be noted that the studies did not show a significant correlation to children that participated on a sports team but it did show that children who stated that they exercised regularly also performed at higher levels academically. It also showed that the more they exercised the greater their academic performance was. It appears that science is providing proof that the key to a healthy mind is a healthy body.

Fat Gain Directly Related To Caloric Intake

bck2action — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:52:19 +0000

New research confirms that it’s the total number of calories consumed and not so much what types of foods we eat that results in body fat gains and losses. While that’s not to say that different foods aren’t healthier than others – clearly, they are – but in terms of body fat, it’s a simple matter of the more calories in, the more fat we pack on. An interesting finding of the study – when the excessive calories were higher in protein, although subjects gained a similar amount of body fat as those on lower protein diets with the same overall calories, those consuming higher protein diets additionally gained more lean muscle mass. Thus, in 2 groups consuming excess calories, while both gained similar amounts of body fat the higher protein consumption group additionally put on even more weight – lean muscle weight – as compared with the lower protein consumption group. It’s therefore important to recognize that when we gain and lose body weight, especially while dieting, the weight loss/gain isn’t necessarily all body fat. A portion of that could be our healthy lean body mass. However, for those wanting to lose body fat, this new research indicates it’s the total calories consumed regardless of food types that are responsible for body fat increases and losses.

Neck Pain Study Reinforces Use of Chiropractic, Other Conservative Options

bck2action — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:51:35 +0000

Arlington, Va.— A new study published this month in the Annals of Internal Medicine finds spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and exercise more effective at relieving neck pain than pain medication. The research reinforces the use of conservative care options as a first line of defense against pain, according to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA). The study divided participants into three groups that received either SMT from a doctor of chiropractic (DC), pain medication (over-the-counter pain relievers, narcotics and muscle relaxants) or exercise recommendations. After 12 weeks, about 57 percent of those who met with DCs and 48 percent who exercised reported at least a 75 percent reduction in pain, compared to 33 percent of the people in the medication group. After one year, approximately 53 percent of the drug-free groups still reported at least a 75 percent reduction in pain; compared to just 38 percent pain reduction among those who took medication. The study also found that despite experiencing limited pain relief, people in the drug group continued using a higher amount of medication more frequently throughout the follow-up period. This finding underscores concerns raised in an April 2011 government report that indicated prescription drug abuse in the U.S. has reached crisis level. “Doctors of chiropractic have long cautioned against the overuse of medication to treat musculoskeletal pain,” said ACA President Keith Overland, DC. “We continue to promote drug-free, conservative interventions for neck pain patients before referral for medical management that may result in side effects. Patients deserve to know that there are natural, drug-free options when it comes to pain relief.” The American Chiropractic Association (ACA), based in Arlington, Va., is the largest professional association in the United States representing doctors of chiropractic. ACA promotes the highest standards of patient care and ethics, and supports research that contributes to the health and well-being of millions of chiropractic patients. Visit www.acatoday.org.

Lynnwood Car Body Shop

bck2action — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:28:12 +0000

When people in the Lynnwood 98036 area are in a auto accident, they get good advice on a car body shop, but no one seems to give them good advice on what to do with their OWN body.

If you have been in a recent car accident, and are not receiving care – you need to get a check up. Most fender-benders can cause damage to your neck that isn’t noticeable until 10 to 15 years later. By then the pain and arthritis has set in and you are taking meds 2 or 3 times a week, or you just get used to the painful and stiff neck.

Need proof? Ask any of your friends or relatives that have painful and stiff necks and ask them if they were in a “minor car accident” and never did anything about it. 9 times out of 10 they will say YES.

So since your are googling for a car body shop to fix your car, why not click on our link to visit a Lynnwood Car Accident chiropractor, and see if we can help?

And remember: The neck you save, may be your own!

Medical, Inc. – Exposing the Modern Medical Monopoly

bck2action — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:50:49 +0000

Just have read in Dynamic Chiropractic, that an interesting documentary will be released in March of 2012 called Medical, Inc., which aims at opening more eyes to the benefits of chiropractic and other forms of natural health care.

The movie reveals the unseen tactics of these “influencers” of modern medicine, in an investigation that leads to the highest levels of the American Medical Association (AMA) and reveals an alarming portrait of deception and criminality. It begs some of the questions:

- Is much of what we “know” about modern medicine just slick marketing from companies that profit when we’re in pain (or by putting us in pain)?

- Why aren’t we being told about the successes of natural therapies?

- Why do so many people think chiropractors are “quacks”, nutritional supplements a waste of money and acupuncture a fringe therapy?

All very interesting questions for us to ponder and make an opinion on don’t you think?

If you’ve searched on Google recently, you will notice the “+1″ icon, which is a mechanism to influence is highly complicated ranking algorithm. If you believe in chiropractic, go to Google and type in “chiropractic” in the search term. Then quickly browse through the first 10-20 pages of the results, most of which will have the “+1″ icon right after the web page title. When you see a site or an organization that supports chiropractic, click on the “+1″ to recommend it and increase the GOOD chiropractic websites and move the ones with bad information to the bottom of the list.
