What's for lunch?

Daniel Harrburger, an 8th grade student from Boulder, Colorado recently made a documentary about school lunch nutrition. You may be surprised or even shocked by what he has to show you!

I would like to publically thank Daniel for taking a stand. I encourage all of you to take a stand as well.

Watch "Lunchtime", and then take action in your own home and community. Large changes in the community start with small changes in the home.

High Blood Pressure and Chiropractic

Even high blood pressure (hypertension) can effectively be managed without the use of long-term drugs. As a matter of fact, check any label of a high blood pressure medication and it will state that the drug should not be used long-term. The medications are great for emergency situations, but are not intended to be a crutch for any individual! Your body was designed to function normally.

The Journal of Human Hypertension just released an article regarding the research on hypertension and chiropractic. The article states that adjustments of the Atlas (C1, or the bone at the top of the spine) effectively lowers blood pressure after a one-time specialized chiropractic adjustment. The effect was equal to taking two blood-pressure drugs at once!

Management of high blood pressure also includes: nutrition, homeopathy, specific diet specifications, and stress management. High blood pressure can effectively be managed by seeking treatment at Centra Chiropractic. We will collaborate with your medical doctor to stop your dependency upon medication.

Baby Steps

Wisdom from "What About Bob"...

Yes, baby steps will lead you to better health. It is hard to make huge changes in your lifestyle! Years of habits are working against you at times.

How do you eat an elephant? - One bite at a time. By small and simple things, great things are able to occur.

Great goals are reached by achieving daily small goals. You may have setbacks, but these have a purpose as well - they drive one to improve to achieve the goal next time or make minor corrections.

Start by taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Replace one item in the shopping cart with an item that is more healthy. Smoke one less cigarette than yesterday. Eat one more vegetable than you did yesterday. Whatever it is, make the small change.

Before long, you will realize that you feel more healthy, vibrant, and alive.

Aaah Aaaah CHOOOO!

Spring is in the air!

For many, spring is a "renewing" season - even for allergies! Allergies can be miserable and many develop a fear to spring and fall as the pollen levels increase dramatically. Have you ever wondered why one is allergic to a pollen while another is not? What is the difference?

The difference is YOU! Yes, you have the problem. All too often, we want to place blame on something other than ourselves; it decreases personal responsibility. But, your body is constantly bombarded with viruses, bacteria, and pollens. Why is it that you only get sick every once in a while?

The answer - you lowered your resistance. Something that you did lowered your barrier to fight off infection - nutrition, emotions, environment, or habits.

You can change; you can eliminate allergies for good! There are simple methods to effectively eliminate allergies in a matter of minutes. No long-term allergy shots are necessary. Don't cover up your problem with medications like Zyrtec, Claritin, or Nasonex. Call me today and get ready for a new life!

Get "Nervous" around blood...

The system that controls all aspects of the human body is the nervous system. It is a complex arrangement of nerves that receive and send information.

The condition of your nervous system is more important than your latest blood test! Yes, true health lies in the condition of the nervous system - not the blood. If the nervous system is functioning properly and your diet and lifestyle are complimentary, your blood will be healthy. The plumbing just responds to the quality of products around it.

A large emphasis of medicine is about the blood. The condition of the blood content is important, but the nervous system is overriding. How many times per day do you hear about cholesterol and blood pressure? Do you notice that blood pressure is always being analyzed? Who analyzes your nervous system? Your nervous system controls blood pressure, levels of cholesterol, and balance of ions in the blood.

The nervous system tells no lies. Ensure that your wiring is in proper control. Learn more about analyzing your nervous system with applied kinesiology.

Food for thought…

When was the last time you looked at food labels to find partially hydrogenated oils, artificial coloring, or high fructose corn syrup? There is so much more to the food we eat than grams of fat and calories.

Millions of Americans rarely consider the content of the food which they consume. Yet, the food we consume is the fuel of life, the building blocks of blood and organs, and the raw materials to regenerate and heal.

Would you ever consider fueling your car with mud or with water? Probably not. Likewise, consider the type of fuel that you are putting into your body. After all, "You are what you eat."

I invite you to watch this short video and join the revolution by taking control of your body and the foods which you consume.
