We had a great nutrition workshop last Tuesday.  This was the first in a series of workshops about nutrition.  The main topic was the digestive system.  This is the primary system where we process everything we eat.  Most of you have heard the saying “you are what you eat”, well its your digestive system that breaks down what you what you eat and absorbs it into the body.  Treat your body as if it’s a $100,000 Mercedes.  When you have an expensive car, would you put cheap fuel in it?  NO…..  Then why would you treat your body any different.  Just remember, a car can be replaces but your body can’t.

That is it for me for this blog.  See you next time

We will be offering a series of workshops on nutrition starting Tues. May 8, 2012.  The workshop will be held by Patricia Farouk, who is a holistic nutritionist.  This first in this series of workshops will focus on your Digestive System.  Give us a call to reserve your seat 905-554-8444.

Our next appreciation day will be in early July (close to Canada Day).

Therefore, if you or someone you know if suffering from headaches then have them see a Chiropractor .  Chiropractors are the only professionals able to detect and correct neck misalignments and get to the root cause of headaches.

So, to answer the question, Chiropractic does not cure any disease.  What it does is give the body the ability to handle stresses better.

Dis-ease means lack of ease.  This is when your body is not working at 100% but you have a hard time finding the exact reason why.  For example, you feel tired all the time, you can’t think clearly or you feel foggy.  All of these are signs that there is something not right with your body but you don’t know what it is.  Well I’m here to tell you that when things don’t feel right then you could be walking around with a subluxation.

A subluxation is when one of your 24 movable spinal bones get out of alignment and irritates a nerve.  When this happens it  interferes with the brains ability to communicate with the body.  If you think of the pathway between the brain and the parts of the body as highway, then a subluxation would be the equivalent of having an accident on the highway.  This would cause a lot of congestion and traffic to back up.  In the same way, a subluxation would cause messages to be interfered with and get congested from the brain to the body and visa verse.

Therefore, if you are walking around not feeling 100% then you may have a subluxation.  Chiropractors are the only health professionals who are trained to detect and correct subluxations.

The sad part part of this example is that people take better care of their cars then they do of their body.  For example, you may use premium fuel for your car or take it to get an oil change every 3 months.  You have spent a lot of money on purchasing your car so you should maintain it.  But here is the reality, no matter how expensive the car is, it can be replaced.  Unfortunately, your body is not replaceable.  Similar to a car, we should be putting premium fuel into ourselves.  This means eating a healthy, well-balanced and organic diet.  Try and stay away from processed food and sugars.  Keep a regular exercise schedule.  Most experts recommend at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 to 5 times per week.  Unfortunately, most people don’t take good care of their body.  Imagine for a second if you neglected your car.  Eventually your car would break down and you will be left with a huge mechanics bill.  You may not be as lucky with your body.  If you neglect your body then you will be more susceptible to disease or even an early death.  I don’t mean to scare you, but this is the reality.  Time after time studies have shown that if you don’t take care of your body then it will break down.

So next time you’re at the gas station pumping high quality fuel into your car, think about what you had for lunch or dinner that day.  Did you give your body the proper fuel it deserves.

Remember, unlike a car, your body can’t be replaced.  So take care of it.

One thing that sets our office apart is that we see amazing results.  Check out my testimonial page and you can see actual video testimonials of chiropractic patients from my office.

Medical doctors sometimes have a difficult time referring to Chiropractors.  There are a couple of reasons for this.  First of all, most M.D.’s don’t know much about Chiropractic and secondly, most M.D.’s believe Chiropractic is not validated with sound research.  In Click on my video below to see how a Medical Doctor back in 1921 was able to validate the importance of Chiropractic with the limited technology they had back then.
