Eat your Fruits and Veggies

  You hear it all the time. Eat your fruits and vegetables. At least 5 to 7 servings daily. Do you know why? When your body digests food it needs enzymes to help break down the food. Fruits, and vegetables already have enzymes in them naturally, so your body does not have to make an enzyme to digest fruits and vegetables. Heating or chemical changes in food can destroy or change enzymes, which is why it is typically best to eat fruit and vegetables raw.

  Doctors recommend eating 5 to 7 servings fruit and vegetables to prevent and help fight cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity and the list goes on. The easier the food is to digest , the sooner your body can begin to use the vitamins and nutrients to feed your body more quickly. When you eat over processed food, your body has to work hard to break it down and there is not as much nutrional value. Eating 5 to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables is an easy way to a healthier you.

How the Kinetic Chain can affect your health

When you were a kid, did you ever hear this song…? The ankle bone’s connected to the… leg bone; and The leg bone’s connected to the… knee bone; and The knee bone’s connected to the…” and so on Whoever got us hooked on that catchy little tune must have had some knowledge concerning the importance of alignment! Chiropractors know how every bone, muscle and nerve are related to each other in the human body. In addition to the direct connections, chiropractors take this song even one step further when considering the indirect connections. How does that make any sense? Your chiropractor knows about a virtual system of connections in the musculoskeletal system called the kinetic chain. The word kinetic suggests movement. This chain of connections is related more to the functional relationship between moving parts than it is to their actual physical connections.
