Start a Health Day  

 Do you have a certain day when you go out to lunch with a friend, go to church, take out the garbage, go to the dry cleaners, cut the grass, see a movie, workout, play softball, play golf, and etc.?  Do you have a day when you do something to improve your health and well being?

Then you need to start marking off some days on your calendar for your own health and well being.  Lets call them health days.  A day totally devoted to your health and well being. 

A health day might include going to health food store, book store, spa, chiropractor, beauty shop, working in your garden, meditating, listening to relaxing music, library, art gallery, and etc.  A health day might be several of these in one day.  The important thing is to schedule a day with no  errands, busy work, workouts, work, and etc. totally devoted to your health and well being.  Our pastor at our church often preaches that we spend all our health getting wealth and all our wealth getting our health back.  Our pastor also practices what he preaches and receives monthly maintenance visits  to help maximize his health and well being.

Take a few minutes now and mark a x on your calendar and then write “health day” for (your name).  Then, write down what you plan to do on that day:

Symptoms:  High Blood Pressure

Cause of High Blood Pressure

Your nervous system supplies your arteries for proper dilation.  If your arteries don’t get the proper signals, it becomes more difficult for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body.  Therefore, it is extremely important to allow proper nerve supply.  Chiropractic care does this for you.  Chiropractic care locates and corrects the cause of high blood pressure, which is often misaligned vertebrae in the spine which causes irritation of your nerves.  All arterial functions are controlled by the nervous system.  Talk to us form more information.

High or Low Blood Pressure

Do you have HIGH or LOW blood pressure?  Both are indicative of a failure of normal nerve function.  High blood pressure is commonly associated with one of the following:

1.  Arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), fatal if allowed to progress.

2.  Hypertension is a malfunction of the nervous system, of which causes are chemical, emotional, or mechanical.

3.  Abnormalities such as over-indulgence of a diet including too much fat.

The most complete means of normalizing blood pressure is chiropractic adjustments to misaligned vertebrae.  Talk to us today about high or low blood pressure.

Nutrition:  Bio-Soy Flavones

Isoflavones are a family of flavonoid compounds and possess antioxidant properties typical of this group.  Although low levels of isoflavones are present in many sees and legumes, by far the highest amounts occur in soy, which contains up to 1000-3000 micrograms of isofavonoids per gram.  The two isoflavonoids in this family which have gained the most attention are genistein and daidzein.  Citations from the peer reviewed literature and several clinical studies have indicated these isofavonoids to be helpful with the following conditions:

Soy and Breast Cancer:  There is a substantial reduction in breast-cancer risk with women who consume soy isoflavones.

Isoflavones as Pseudoestrogens:  Many studies have shown that isoflavones bind to estrogen receptors.  Genistein can function as an estrogen antagonist by competing with estrogen at its receptor sites.  Soy protein diets providing 45 mg of isoflavones per day, decreased lutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormones (FSH), while increasing the follicular phase and delaying the onset of menstrual cycles in women who were premenopausal.

Soy and Menopause:  Studies have shown a reduction in hot flashes and vaginal dryness and an increase in sex hormone binding protein in women who consume soy.

Soy and Bone Health:  A variety of studies have suggested that the consumption of soy proteins containing genistein isoflavones can increase bone density, decrease calcium excretion and/or reduce bone loss.

Soy and Cardiovascular Health:  It has long been known that soy protein can lower plasma lipid levels.  The mechanism is unknown, possibly isoflavones play a role in the cholesterol lowering ability of soy protein.

Soy Isoflavones and Angiogenesis:  Genistein has been shown to inhibit plasminogen activation factor, which initiates proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix prior to angiogenesis.
