Chiropractic Adjustments Help to Maximize New Habits & Goals

This white paper discusses the significance of the 2009 study published in the Journal of Autonomic and Autacoid Pharmacology called “Is Noradrenaline an Etiological factor in a number of diseases?” as well as the 2011 study published in the Journal of Alternative Therapeutic Health Medicine called “Cerebral metabolic changes in men after chiropractic spinal manipulation.” 

Improving physical fitness, transforming diet, weight loss, smoking cessation, helping others and greater life enjoyment are the most popular resolutions reported for 2018. New Year’s Resolutions are a big deal. Based on the percentages of resolutions not kept each year, any help to better achieve these commitments would be beneficial. Chiropractic adjustments can provide a unique advantage to helping people better achieve their self-created goals and commitments. The chiropractic adjustment has been shown to decrease stress hormones. And stress hormones have been linked to a list of conditions and lowered function which lowers daily function and performance. The following studies help to show how chiropractic could have an influence on something seemingly disconnected from the spine.

2009 Journal of Autonomic and Autacoid Pharmacology
“Is Noradrenaline and Etiological a factor in a number of diseases” 

➢ Noradrenaline (also known as norepinephrine) is the principle signaling molecule used at the output of the sympathetic nervous system
➢ An increase of noradrenaline in the blood and tissue indicates that the body is under stress and in a fight or flight response.
➢ Although the stress response is perfect and important for brief stints of time to help the body overcome a stressful event, a sustained state creates a dangerous physiology of chronic disease over a period time.
➢ PJ Fitzgerald found that these specific conditions were directly linked to an increase in the hormone noradrenaline; cancer, bipolar disorder, excessive body weight, hypertension, type 1 autoimmune diabetes, type 2 diabetes, glaucoma, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and immune system function.

2011 Journal of Alternative Therapeutic Health Medicine
“Cerebral metabolic changes in men after chiropractic spinal manipulation” 

➢ $3 million P.E.T. scan, a powerful neuro-imaging technique used to investigate neuronal activity in the human brain, was used to measure outcomes following a Chiropractic adjustment.
➢ Use of this advanced technology immediately set the results of the study apart from most other Chiropractic research.
➢ Brain and nervous system changes were measured in subjects after receiving a cervical adjustment.
➢ The findings concluded an increase in glucose metabolism in all areas of the brain except the cerebellar vermis, significantly lowered results in the stress response and visual analog scales, reduced muscle tone, and a significant decrease in salivary amylase.
➢ All of these measurements are major indicators in a reduction of stress hormones by inhibiting the tone of the central nervous system.

This new year brings new opportunity. Most people commit to being better and doing better in the next 12 months compared to the previous. Chiropractic adjustments can help. These scientific research studies point out the benefits of chiropractic beyond back and neck pain relief, and how they can contribute to patients better achieving their resolutions. It is the opinion of this author that anyone wanting to increase their odds of accomplishing greater physical, professional, or relationship outcomes this year should open up the communication pathways from the brain to the body through spinal adjustments. Chiropractic is both a safe and effective choice for performance-enhancement when it comes to accomplishing goals in 2018.

THE BENEFITS OF A BAMBOO PILLOW

Bamboo is an incredibly strong and flexible plant, but many people do not initially understand how bamboo can be used to make some of the softest, most comfortable pillows on the market. Neither a standard pillow stuffed with bamboo pieces nor a pillow formed from hard layers of bamboo, bamboo pillows are instead specially treated to become extremely pliant threads and then woven into one of the world’s most sustainable and hypo-allergenic textiles. THE BENEFITS OF A BAMBOO PILLOW Bamboo fabrics and bedding material, including pillows, have become extremely popular in recent years. Any textile made from bamboo has a number of benefits over other types of organic material, including: Bamboo thrives without pesticides or chemical treatments, so all bamboo fabrics are naturally organic. As a hearty plant, bamboo contains natural elements which are anti-bacterial. Bamboo fabric absorbs sweat readily, making bamboo pillows naturally temperature controlled. Bamboo pillows ar

Leeks - Did you know?

With their unique combination of flavonoids and sulfur-containing nutrients, the allium vegetables belong in your diet on a regular basis. There's research evidence for including at least one serving of an allium vegetable in your meal plan every day. If you're choosing leeks, make your individual portion 1/2 cup or greater, and try to include at least one cup of chopped leeks in your recipes. Many people are unfamiliar with how to cook leeks or how to include them in a Healthiest Way of Eating. We recommend cutting them very thinly and preparing them by using our Healthy Sauté method of cooking. Like their allium cousins, onions and garlic, let leeks sit for at least 5 minutes after cutting and before cooking. Our Tips for Preparing and Cooking and How to Enjoy sections below will give you more details on the best ways to bring leeks into your meal plan.  Leeks, cooked 1.00 cup (104.00 grams) Calories: 32 GI:  medium Nutrient DRI/DV   vitamin K 29%   mangan

Seasonal Allergies? Chiropractic Proven to Help

Image
This white paper discusses the significance of the October of 2004 study published in the Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery called “Relationship Between Vertebral Deformities and Allergic Diseases.” Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S. with an annual cost of more than $18 billion. 50 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from allergies. Immunity cannot be felt. People simply feel the effects of disease or sickness from weakened immunity. The fact that subluxations link directly to a weakened immune system can provide great conviction for Chiropractors to boldly and relentlessly communicate a much-needed message of hope in any community. This study, connecting the dots between spinal misalignment and the immune system, prove the necessity for Chiropractic beyond bad backs. The results of the research are as follows: ▪ Atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma patients were divided into groups and studied to evaluate the relationship between all
