The Paleo Diet



The Paleo Diet
   Sugar & Carbs 101
a.       Types of Sugars/Carbs:
                                                              i.      Glucose- simple molecule found in our blood
                                                            ii.      Fructose- sugar molecule naturally found in fruits & honey
                                                          iii.      Sucrose- white table sugar
                                                          iv.      High Fructose Corn Syrup- man made; 55% fructose, 42% glucose & 3% other carbs

High Fructose Corn Syrup is a huge driver to diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, ADHD, heart attacks & dementia. This toxic sugar stresses the pancreases and eventually stops the production of insulin creating diabetes. High Fructose Corn Syrup also contains a high percentage of Fructose which goes directly to the liver. When HFCS hits liver most of it gets converted to fat and causes a fatty liver. 

High Blood Sugar can lead to brain shrinkage which results in memory loss. 

The #1 source of calories in America is High Fructose Corn Syrup which is a factor of increasing glycation by 10!

b.      What is Glycation?

Glycation is the spontaneous bonding of a sugar to a protein molecule, fats and amino acids which causes them to become inflexible and mishappen. Once the protein becomes glycated it becomes the source for the dramatic increase of free radicals. Glycation speeds up the aging process and leads to wrinkles, sagginess & discolored skin.

      The Paleo Diet

a.       What is Paleo?
The true definition of the word paleo means older or ancient, especially relating to the geological past. How does this relate to food? It is basing a diet on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans to achieve optimal health results. “By following these nutritional guidelines, we put our diet more in line with the evolutionary pressures that shaped our current genetics, which in turn positively influences health and well being” says Loren Cordain, PhD. The Paleo diet consists of 4 major food groups meat, fish, fats & veggies. We want to avoid all diary, grain & processed food at all costs. 

b.      How do I make the change?
You can make the change today! We do have nutrition consultations in our office so please don’t hesitate to ask. We also recommend doing your own research before making any changes to your body. Remember this isn’t a short term diet, this is a healthy long term lifestyle you will be starting. Along with healthy nutrition you need to combine it with exercise and chiropractic care so your body will be functioning at its optimal level. You want to maximize your health potential and like anything that comes great it takes time & repetition.  Stay focused and move forward towards your goals without hesitation.

The Brain Connection

THE BRAIN CONNECTION: Research proves chiropractic adjustments affect: How you feel, How You Learn,   Your memory,   Your Consciousness, Your Motivation, Your Motor Control, Your Self-Awareness , How You Think, The Decisions You Make & How You Experience Touch and Pain. In 2014, Gay and fellow researchers concluded “…pain-free volunteers processed thermal stimuli applied to the hand before and after thoracic (mid-back) spinal manipulation (chiropractic spinal adjustment). What they found was that after thoracic manipulation, serveral brain regions demonstrated a reduction in peak BOLD (blood-oxygen-lebel-dependent) activity. Those regions include the cingulate, insular, motor, amygdala and somatosensory cortices, and the PAG (periaqueductal gray regions)” (p. 615). In other words, chiropractic adjustments produced direct and measureable effects on the central nervous system across multiple regions. Brain Region: Function: Cing...

SPECIAL FLU VACCINE REPORT

Three important reasons to avoid the flu shot: 1. The flu shot contains mercury, formaldehyde, gelatin & traces of chicken cells. 2. The flu shot contains viral contaminants that have been linked to cancer. 3. You can get the flu shot - and all the risks that go with it - and still gets the flu. Avoid the shot: help prevent Alzheimer's Disease According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD the worlds leading immunodeficient and 13th most quoted biologist of our time (over 850 papers in peer reviewed journals), if an individual has five consecutive flu shots their chance of getting Alzheimer's is ten times higher. (1) How does the flu shot cause Alzheimer's? Dr. Fudenberg states the mercury in flu shots (and many childhood shots as well as some RhoGam shots) cross the blood-brain barrier causing brain damage. Mercury has also been linked to ADHD and autism. Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple. Are flu shot the reason? (2) How many really die of the flu? Reports clai...
