Recently, a couple studies came out regarding diet that recommended what we should already know. The first study performed by Harvard nurses, monitored the diets of 110,000 people for 14 years. They found that the people who ate more fruits and vegetables had lower risk of developing heart disease. Heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S. accounting for almost 1 out of every 2 deaths! The nurses concluded that increasing your daily fruit/vegetable intake will decrease your risk of heart disease by 4 percent per serving.
A similar study done at University College London found that diets including plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish help decrease the risk of depression. In the study, those who ate a diet based on fresh, whole foods had a 26% lower risk of depression. Furthermore, those who ate diets high in fried food, processed meat, high-fat dairy and sugar had a 58% higher incidence of depression. Despite their risk of suicide, deeper depression and outcomes that are often not any better than placebos, anti-depression drugs are one of the most common prescriptions in the U.S. What if simple changes in diet along with regular exercise could eliminate depression for most people?
The recommendation on fruits/vegetables is five-to-thirteen servings per day depending on whether your sources are organic or lower quality mass produced sources. As I’ve discussed in the past, fruits, vegetables, and fish are the foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids that reduce the inflammation associated with heart disease, depression and most other common ailments. One of the best health tips you could ever implement is to include a fruit or a vegetable with every meal. Plan this for yourself and your family and you will see the results within a very short time. I don’t care if it’s the same vegetable every single meal; just do it! The only thing I would recommend is that you try to keep your fruit/vegetable sources raw or lightly cooked. Heavy cooking, freezing and canning can destroy the fiber, enzymes, and vitamin/mineral complexes you are trying to gain by eating these foods.
I came up with this particular stretch routine about a month ago and is easy to do and progresses well. I really like it. Let me know.
I am working on my checklist and have found a nice app to keep track of reading through the Bible. Go to our facebook page to see the app. The purpose of this post is to help you stay connected. The Having Problems tab of Connecting to Wellness came about reading through Genesis and learning that God created the Heavens and the Earth, living creatures and plants and humans in his own image. So, since he created us in His image than we must have a purpose to create. So, to help stay connected to God what are creating for Him or earthly things. One feels you feeling fulfilled and one keeps you empty inside. Do not forget to use the Carabiner-version-34 to stay on track. If you would like a carabiner please contact us.
The Connecting to Wellness Transformation Journal 2014 is ready:
Transformation Journal for Connecting to Wellness 2014
Remember to print out Journal and put in binder. (make sure you have enough printer ink and paper / three hole punch). Follow instructions on how to fill out your Transformation Journal and begin your journey to Transformation.
The Journal is made to be written on purpose. I feel there is a very strong neurological component to hand writing and brain function (connecting to God).
What would you pay for a pill if you knew it was guaranteed to slow or even stop your brain from aging? Well, there is no such pill, but the great news is that based on recent information, you don’t need a pill and it doesn’t cost anything to maintain healthy mental function. Researchers have determined that the primary thing you need to do for your brain is to exercise your body! Physical exercise is an essential of wellness. Most people are aware that exercise is critical for maintaining weight, lowering blood pressure, improving sleep, decreasing stress, decreasing pain and even preventing many cancers. But if these benefits are still not enough to get you going, one 2008 study showed that just walking briskly for 45 minutes three days per week improved “mental fitness” in just six months time. A similar study released last September showed that 20 minutes of any exercise per day resulted in improved cognitive function and memory. The best part of this study was that these benefits persisted even 12 months after exercise had been discontinued! Regardless of your reasons, the message here is that exercise works and the results are long-lasting. If you’re not exercising now, it’s time to tart. This study and most others suggest that you need to commit to at least 120 minutes of exercise per week in order to get the best results. Good luck and always remember that your body was designed to be self healing.
What do Coffee, Tea, Alcohol and Soda have in common? Anything you drink with caffeine or alcohol can dehydrate you by turning off antidiuretic hormone in your kidneys. This hormone causes your kidneys to return water back to the body. If it is shut off, you lose water. When you take water out of your body, you dry up causing: fatigue, muscle aches, joint pain, headaches, toxicity, etc. Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do to promote health!
I’m amazed with how many people “don’t like water.” This is equivalent to saying, “I don’t like air.” Our bodies are about 65% water by weight. Water is one of the least forgiving of all the nutrients – you can only survive a couple days without it. It is responsible for the transport of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products, as well as regulating your body temperature and serving as the medium in which almost all of your body’s chemical reactions take place. Drinking an adequate amount of clean water is one of the most overlooked but simple ways of keeping healthy.
Most agree that you should have around 8-10 (8 oz) glasses of water each and every day. Others say you should take your weight in pounds and divide that number by ‘2’ and this number is the amount of water in ounces you should drink daily. Regardless, it is my experience that most people could benefit from more water.
If you truly cannot learn to like the taste of water, I recommend mineral water, unsweetened green or black teas, water with lemon added or mixed with fruit juice. You can substitute a couple glasses of unsweetened fruit juice each day. However, you cannot count caffeinated tea, coffee, or soda as the water that is in these is lost through the kidneys as a result of caffeine.
A subluxation is a minor misalignment of the spine causing nerve interference. Your body communicates from the brain through the spinal cord, spinal nerves and peripheral nervous system. Your body communicates back to the brain through your nervous system. Your nerves are like wires but much more delicate. They are protected by the skull and vertebrae of your spine. The spine most allow movement so you can move but protect the delicate nerves. Abnormal stresses can cause your vertebrae to become misaligned causing nerve interference. Spinal joints and nerves that are stressed cause pain, muscle imbalance, and nerve interference to the tissue and organs they supply. Each vertebrae causes certain pain patterns called sclertome pain, muscles cause certain pain patterns and tingling as seen on trigger point charts and nerves cause certain problems according to what tissues and organs they supply as seen on a nerve chart. This portion of the newsletter goes through the problems associated with one vertebrae of the spine. You can find out what other vertebral subluxations cause by visiting www.backtolifechiropracticky.com.
L5 is the lowest lumbar vertebrae of your spine that sits on the sacrum. Learn more at a New Patient Orientation at Back to Life Chiropractic (events calendar on www.backtolifechiropracticky.com).

I really had every intention to leave sugar alone for a while, but a recent article from the Journal of Experimental Medicine has changed my mind. If you thought the extra sugar you and your kids ate at Easter had little or only a short term effect, think again. This latest research has shown that human genes remember a sugar hit for up to two weeks and change the way your body functions. These authors concluded that all poor eating habits have what they referred to as “dramatic and long-lasting effects” on our cells. Regular poor eating seems to amplify this effect. This research can be added to the long list of material that suggests that ‘nurture’ is a bigger factor in determining health than ‘nature.’ We used to be taught that we were victims of our genes and that health and sickness comes down to a matter of good or bad luck. They now know that our genes are turned on or off based on our lifestyle choices and our environment – this is the determining factor of health over disease. The life lesson here is that all the lifestyle choices we make last a lot longer than we might think. Furthermore, because lifestyle choices change the expression of our genes, we pass these tendencies to future generations.
