Nuts: Nature's Little Gifts

While so many are in search of man-made pills and potions to maintain and improve health, nature has already provided just that, in the form of all the amazing nutrient-rich plant foods. One great example is nuts. Studies have shown that regular nut consumption can help with a wide variety of chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. A recent study of over 100,000 people found that daily nut consumption prolonged lifespan by about 2 years, regardless of other lifestyle factors. All you need is about 1 to 2 handfuls per day to enjoy the benefits. Many studies have also shown that eating too many nuts won't make you fat. In fact, it may actually help you to lose weight. So as long as you are not allergic to nuts, be sure to eat a variety of raw nuts every day and enjoy the long-lasting benefits of nature's little gifts.

Chiropractic Also Improves Mental Health

Many of my clients often comment about how chiropractic helps them feel happier, more optimistic, less stressed, and calmer. So it is not surprising to see recent studies which show that chiropractic care also improves mental and emotional health.  According to the Nobel prize-winning neurobiologist, Roger W. Sperry, PhD., "90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine," so it's no wonder that chiropractic has a long history of helping those with mental illness. In 2007, a review of 129 randomised controlled trial studies found that chiropractic care was at least as effective as verbal interventions for improving mental health.  Various studies have also shown that chiropractic care can also help with addiction, depression, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and learning disabilities. This is quite amazing to consider as these results were actually inadvertant, simply resulting from improved brain and nervous system function with the help of specific chiropractic care. While most people come to us for relief from an ache or pain, improved mental health is often a welcome bonus to help you manage your busy life.
