Northwest Sunny Days

  In the Pacific Northwest we are not used to experiencing many summer days above 75 degrees.  And when they do occur we find ourselves over heated and wondering how to stay cool?  Here are some tips on how to beat the heat this summer!

  Avoid foods that are hot or create heat: spices, hot peppers, garlic, lamb, and shrimp.  Eat foods that are cool such as Asian pears, melons, salads, mint or chrysanthemum teas.  Avoid heavy outdoor activity especially between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM.  Try an afternoon nap, the body naturally cools down when we rest.  If you do get overheated, massage the acupressure point on your outer elbow crease, or spray water with a few drops of lavender essential oil on your legs and feet, or an ice pack wrapped in a pillow case on the back of your neck.  lastly, we have air conditioning here at Doyle Chiropractic Clinic!  Come and visit your favorite Chiropractor and Massage Therapist to get your spine aligned and a relaxing massage on a hot summer day.

Aspartame, a Bad Choice?

  There's conflicting evidence regarding the safety of aspartame, a common chemical sweetener used in diet soda and other low-cal or low-sugar goods, but some people report headaches or generally feeling unwell after ingesting anything containing the chemical. To make life easier for everyone, this is one instance where you may want to follow the "better safe than sorry" principle. That's because a University of Liverpool test-tube study found that when mixed with a common food color ingredient, aspartame actually became toxic to brain cells. Making matters worse, aspartame is used in many diet sodas, and studies have found drinking diet soda may increase your risk of developing diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Also of concern with aspartame, researchers have found that one harmful breakdown product is formaldehyde. Sweet? We don't think so.
