11 December 08 - 16:30Healthy Holiday Substitutions
There's a lot of food associated with this time of year as much as anything else. We've made it past turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Now Christmas dinners, office get togethers, New Year's celebrations, and of course College Football Bowl Season brings another list of treats and goodies to snack on. So what are some ways limit the bad stuff in and maintain an at least somewhat healthy diet this year? Try some of these.
1. Plan ahead. If you have parties on the weekend be aware of that and make sure you eat very healthy during the week. This way you'll feel less guilty after eating one unhealthy meal than doing it the whole week.
2. Make an effort at your office to bring healthier snacks. You don't have to totally forego the cookies but be sure to have fruit and veggies around. Than it takes a little self discipline to make sure you actually eat them.
3. Eat a little bit before the party! By simply having a healthy ...

Have you noticed that all the pharmacies and urgent care facilities are already promoting flu shots? Are you scared of what might happen if you don't get the flu shot? Have you really considered if you actually need the flu shot?
Here is some information regarding the vaccination that you're not told. First, adult vaccinations are still carrying mercury, a highly volatile and deadly chemical. Mercury will kill, yes actually destroy, nervous system cells called neurons. These are the same neurons responsible for controlling heart rate, memory, energy, digestion, and every other process that happens in the body. There really is not a good reason for mercury to still be used. Somehow despite the known detrimental effects of mercury on the body it is still included in many vaccinations. That's scary!
Another fact is that each year, well before flu season, scientists and doctors GUESS which strands will be most commonly affecting the ...

What can Chiropractic do for pregnant women? Is it safe for pregnant women? My doctor says I should not go to a Chiropractor when I am pregnant. These are things you may be thinking yourself and I am excited to be able to educate you on them all.
First though, there has been alot of research done on Chiropractic treatments and pregnancy. For some, they can not seem to get pregnant. We can help with that. Some have back pain, leg pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches or allergies that suddenly occur when they go through the pregnancy. We can help with all of those. As an added bonus, Chiropractic has been proven to decrease labor time, making the process a little easier on mom. A great source for research about these topics is www.icpa4kids.org.
Chiropractic care is absolutely safe for a pregnant woman. Because of the hormone relaxin, the mother becomes more flexible and therefore ...

Have you ever wondered why humans drink another mammal's milk? Or why we are the ONLY species to not only drink anothers milk, but to also drink it into adulthood? If we want to get what cows have shouldn't we eat what cows eat?
Milk is made for one purpose, to nourish a young mammal so that they can grow into a healthy mammal. A cow's milk is designed to make a calf triple in size in one year. Is this why our children are tripling in size at such young ages? Did you know that a cow 50 years ago made 2,000 gallons of milk a year and today that make that much in ONE MONTH?! It's not because they are healthier. It is because they are fed and injected with all kinds of hormones. Then, because they are producing so much more than is natural, they get infections of the udders and are given antibiotics. So, we are ...
