Give Up Soft Drinks

A typical can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 empty calories and artificial colors, flavorings and preservatives. And all this from a beverage that has absolutely no redeeming nutritional value.

Consider what’s inside the typical soda can:

Phosphoric Acid. This common ingredient compromises your ability to use calcium, leading to osteoporosis and other bone disorders.

Corn Sweeteners. Sugar, in its various forms, raises insulin levels and can invite diabetes, weight gain, tooth decay and other adverse affects.

Artificial Sweeteners. Diet sodas with aspartame may be even worse. There are dozens of known health risks linked to this chemical which may intensify if the soda is stored for long periods or has been allowed to warm.

Caffeine. This nervous system stimulant is added to sodas to provide a drug-induced energy boost. Caffeine is an addictive substance that can produce a daily craving.

Pure water is a wiser choice. But if you feel compelled to drink a carbonated beverage, consider sparkling mineral water with some lemon juice.

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
