This number even exceeds the number of stars in the Milky Way. • The human brain alone consists of about 100 billion neurons. If all these neurons were to be lined up, it would form a 600 mile long line. • In humans, the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, while the left side of the brain controls the right side. • In a child developing inside the womb, neurons grow at the rate of 250,000 neurons per minute. • By the time of its birth, the baby’s brain consists of around 10 million nerve cells. • The nervous system is very quick, it can transmit impulses at a tremendous speed of 100 meters per second. The speed of message transmissions to the brain can be as high as 180 miles per hour! • There are 43 different nerves that connect the central nervous system to every part of the body. Twelve of those nerve pairs are connected to the brain, while the remaining 31 are connected to the spinal cord, which is why it is so important to get your nervous system checked by a chiropractor for optimal function and health! A shift in thinking? Ok…..at the risk of offending some of you, I need to be very open and let you know that when it comes to health care, things are not always as they appear on the surface. My purpose, as always, is to keep you informed.  How many of you have thought differently about your health recently? I compare this new thinking to a wave: It has been growing in size and momentum and at this point it simply cannot be stopped. It is like a Tsunami! Let’s look at the signs of this new thinking: Pharmaceutical companies are now placing ads for prescription drugs in general public magazines, lots of them, and for many years, with the hope that a patient will try to convince their doctor to prescribe that particular drug. And it’s working!  You many not know this but many drug companies are actually rewarding physicians for prescribing their drugs-some refer to this as legal “drug trafficking”. Many physicians are treated to expensive gifts, and trips for prescribing certain drugs. An article that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine stated that the pharmaceutical industry spends approximately $12 billion annually on gifts and payments to physicians if they meet certain drug quotas! Is this health care…I don’t think so! NASCAR even had a team Tylenol for 10 years! Big Pharma is moving in and replacing Big Tobacco as a sponsor in sports. The object here is to become a household name and synonymous with Health, grandma and apple pie, I have some difficulty with this concept: Tylenol, a common pain killer, being marketed as synonymous with good health and clean living. I am not saying it is not an effective drug. No. I am saying that it does not promote good health and healthy values- much to the dismay of the company that makes it. Physicians group together is another sign. Lessening patient loads, higher overhead, more insurance, and government red tape are turning doctors into administrators fighting for survival in the marketplace. Have you noticed how many private practices have been “bought up” by the larger, hospital-run clinics. And it doesn’t seem to end, they build new, massive urgent care centers, cancer centers, hospitals and as soon as doors are open it is FULL…where are all the sick people coming from? Eat Well  Protein is an important part of a healthy diet.  Proteins are made up of chemical “building blocks” called amino acids. Your body uses amino acids to build and repair muscles and bones and to make hormones and enzymes.  They can also be used as an energy source. Proteins help your body: create antibodies to ward off illnesses and infections your bloodstream carry oxygen throughout your body blood sugar balance. diabetes management increased energy more strength and muscle growth from strength training workouts. 17 Cheap and Healthy Sources of Protein: Natural peanut butter Eggs Edamame Canned tuna Plain Greek yogurt Sunflower seeds Black beans Sardines Cottage cheese Whey protein LentilsOats Amaranth Milk Pumpkin seeds Canned salmon Ground Turkey Healthy Living: Supplementing with Ortho Biotic & Flora Boost (kids) Helps maintain gastrointestinal balance, Increases IgA for enhanced gut immunity Supports bowel regularity, Supports digestion and micronutrient absorption We love to share our favorite supplements, especially ones that can help you manage stress and live a healthier, happier life.  How is your brain working?  We now have scanning technology that evaluates how you are responding to stress and if your brain is healthy and functioning normally.
