As Chiropractors utilizing a holistic approach, we constantly aim to help our practice members lead healthy and empowered lives. We want to give you the best information necessary to make better health decisions; not just for yourself, but also for your friends and family.
Because of our efforts, throughout the years we have received a number of interesting, fun and not so fun facts about the direction health is moving in America. Take a look at some of these findings.
-9 daily servings of anti-oxidants packed in RAW fruits and vegetables can cut your risk of heart disease (70%), Diabetes (40%) and Lung Cancer (30%) (Studies conducted by Harvard Medical Center, National Cancer Institute…)
-Iron content in spinach has dropped 60% in the last 50 years (Medicine Today Journal 4/02)
-“You can trace every sickness, disease and ailment to a mineral deficiency”
(Dr. Linus Pauling, Recipient of 2 Nobel Prizes)
- US health care spending reached $1.6 trillion in 2003, representing 14% of the nation\’s gross national product. Yet 50% of the Americans go bankrupt due to the healthcare reasons (Null et. Al Death By Medicine 3/04)
The health of our society is heading on a downward spiral. In order to achieve optimal health, we have to start by shifting perception from a reactive approach towards healthcare. Being symptom free is not a true indicator of health. People with diabetes do not have symptoms in their initial stages yet it is obvious something is wrong and changes need to be made quickly. Utilizing a holistic approach to chiropractic can play a critical role in that journey, so regardless of whether you have symptoms or not, getting things checked out by a wellness based chiropractor will help you achieve optimal results.
