Carlsbad Chiropractor-Are adjustments safe for kids?

Carlsbad Chiropractor — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 02:10:57 +0000

www.carlsbadbackpainrelief.com – For many people I talk to one of the most surprising things I tell them is that chiropractic adjustments are great for children. There are a number of reasons why kids can get adjusted. The main reason I like adjusting kids is that it keeps them healthy as they grow and mature. Adjustments can also help kids with asthma, ear infections or colds feel better too, without the need of drugs or surgery. Babies can be adjusted too!!! Babies that spit up a lot or have colic are great candidates for chiropractic care.

Curb Heart Disease With….

Is Green Tea Good for Your Heart?

It seems to be, but there are conflicting results of a few epidemiological studies conducted in the East and West.

In a study that involved 500 Japanese men and women, researchers found that drinking at least four cups of green tea every day may be related to the reduced severity of coronary heart disease among the male participants.

A Dutch study of more than 3,000 men and women found that the more tea consumed, the less severe the clogging of the heart’s blood vessels, especially in women.

As Goldberg suggests, lifestyle and overall diet are critical to the outcomes of these studies.

But green tea’s antioxidants are dilators, she says, because they improve the flexibility of blood vessels and make them less vulnerable to clogging — and antioxidant-rich blueberries and pomegranates do the same.

“I think people should know these are important studies, that everyday foods that are an option may actually have health benefits,” Goldberg says. “I think green tea, because of its antioxidant value, may have heart benefits, but it’s not something we regularly prescribe to people, because there isn’t as much evidence as there is in exercise’s ability to improve heart health.”

Lower Cholesterol Naturally With Green Tea?

Really? The Claim: Drinking Green Tea Can Help Lower Cholesterol

THE FACTSGreen tea is thought to be an herbal panacea of sorts, believed by many to have a wide range of health benefits. But whether it can actually produce measurable effects on cholesterol is a question that has drawn much debate.

Advocates say green tea’s heart-healthy benefits are due in part to a large concentration of polyphenols, which block the absorption of cholesterol in the gut. But skeptics argue that any beneficial effect would be small, and the side effects from a few too many cups a day not worth it.

Numerous studies have delved into the matter, with mixed results. But this year a team of researchers combined and analyzed data from more than a dozen previous trials to reach a more definitive answer. The report, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, involved more than 1,100 people and looked at studies in which the subjects were randomly assigned to drink either green tea or a placebo daily for up to several months.

The researchers found that the subjects who received the green tea, on average, did see an effect on their cholesterol, but it was minimal. Over all, their levels of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, fell by 2.2 milligrams per deciliter, a change of roughly 2 percent. There was no effect on their levels of HDL, or “good” cholesterol.

For some it may be worth a shot. But for others there could be side effects: A compound in green tea called EGCG may interfere with medications like anticoagulants and the cancer drug bortezomib.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Studies have found that green tea may reduce levels of LDL cholesterol, but the effect appears minimal.

(Carlsbad Chiropractor: Green Tea is also being used in Cancer Research with some very promising results so far. Particularly in regards to Prostate Cancer. Check it out Here.)

Encinitas Chiropractor Discusses the risks and benefits of Childhood Vaccinations

Carlsbad Chiropractor — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 00:32:16 +0000

This article was in the North County Times this morning. My wife was looking at the headline and pointing it out to me, when she happened to see our friend Dr. Lara Condon in the picture. Vaccines and Vaccinations are still a very hotly debated subject. I have discussed the issue with many of my patients and they all have taken different courses for their children. Just this afternoon I had two families come in back to back. The first family has two little girls and even the two of them have received different shots. One of the girls has received only a few of the recommended shots because she is extremely healthy and her mom does not want to inject her with anything more than what she feels is absolutely necessary. The second daughter has been more heavily vaccinated because she suffers from a weaker immune system. One interesting note is that the oldest daughter was not given a flu shot this past year for the first time in 3 years. It was also the first time in those three years that she did not get Pneumonia. Coincidence? Maybe. Guess we will have to wait and see.

The second family that came in today also has a daughter, but she is much younger. She just turned 1 a few months ago. She is a very strong and healthy young girl. After much thought and investigation, her parents have decided to give her no shots. They prefer to either wait until she is older or just keep her healthy through other means. So no matter where you fall on the vaccine/autism debate scale one thing that I really liked about this article is that, like they mention, it shows people are starting to take control of their own health and making decisions based on their own thoughts and not just blindly following the herd.

Here is the link to the article on North County Times Website.

Going Green? Eating Pistachios Nuts May Lower Cholesterol

Carlsbad Chiropractor — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 22:21:50 +0000

According to research conducted at Penn State University, the home of football coaching legend Joe Paterno, eating a healthy dose of green pistachios nuts may help you reduce your cholesterol. While I don’t believe that having high cholesterol is as bad as some may think, if you can find a way to lower it naturally without the use of Statin Drugs I am all for it.

“Our study has shown that pistachios, eaten with a heart healthy diet, may decrease a person’s CVD risk profile, says Penny Kris-Etherton, distinguished professor of nutrition and primary investigator of the study.”

As usual the best remedy seems to be the natural choice. A “Heart Healthy Diet” with pistachios and a dash of exercise may be all you need to keep that heart pumping.
