Unfortunately, one of our favorite candy-filled holidays is upon us, as the retail world likes to remind us.

September madness of activities is in full swing! As we are trying to balance of all of our daily activities, we sometimes begin a pattern of a “what’s easier at the moment” attitude. Unfortunately, that also can become a poor habit in our choices for what we choose to eat and when we eat.
Proper Nutrition 101
We know that proper nutrition is crucial for you and your family’s growth and development.
A simple rule is that a well-balanced diet can help you and your family build strong, healthy bodies, while regular poor eating habits put your health in danger of a weakened immune system, obesity, and shortened life span.
The In-Betweeners – Snack Time Choices
Even if we may be conquering and balancing our regular meals nutritiously, the one time that may get away from us quickly is Snack Time – those quick in between quick bite times that may too often become your main meals if you are not careful.
To help here are a few tips to help make sure your snack time is not only nutritious but health and body repair building moments.
1. For our in-between meal times, it is best to opt for fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt, and cheese. Try to stay away from starchy, sticky or sugary foods, like dried fruit, crackers, chips and cookies. These types of snacks are very high in carbohydrates and sugar which could cause a dip in energy, which may have been the reason you were snacking.
2. If you would like a treat, eat your sweet treats at meal times; preferably the mid-day meal. Having the sugars and higher carbohydrates treats at the mid-day meal allow your body the time to break down and use the energy rather than store it as excess fat. Aim for high protein snack in the evening to give your body the much-needed protein to make the natural repairs it does while you are sleeping.
3. Beware of the Wrong Sugars. Almost all foods have naturally occurring sugars. Naturally occurring sugars–like those found in milk and vegetables–are less bothersome, since these choices are healthy overall. What you do want to keep an eye out for when choosing snacks are the additional sugars and corn syrups added by the recipes of man.
Current guidelines state that added sugar consumption should be limited to less than 10 percent of total energy intake, ideally to less than 5 percent. To put simply, one can of soda is equivalent to three times the daily recommended sugar intake of a child. Yikes!
Understanding Best Choices In Beverages
With the importance of hidden sugars not only for our waistlines but our health, we would like to advise your to choose your beverages wisely. Soda and juice may be you or your family’s preferred drinks, but milk and water are much the healthier choices. Milk is an excellent source of calcium which is utilized in building healthy teeth and bones. While refreshing water will replenish, rehydrate, and help cleanse your body’s system of toxins.
Not Just What You Drink But When You Drink It
Small frequent drinks are an essential for overall health, but be careful of constant sipping of beverages besides water throughout the day. Continual consumption of caffeinated or carbonated beverages actually has the adverse effect of dehydration. The best recommendation is to limit snacking and sip on water. If you do prefer to drink anything that contains sugar, drink it during mealtimes or all at once.

Are you feeling stressed-out? Run down? Exhausted? What choices are you making? When is now important enough?
We all promise to take a vacation from our busy lifestyles and unplug, but many of us still bring our computers, phones, and work with us on “our” vacations. It is not until an injury or illness strikes for us to notice the imbalances in our life and health.
Proper Regeneration Vs. Degeneration
Your skin cells are replaced every 30 days, and your red blood cells every 120. The quality and quantity of your life are determined by the choices that support or interfere with your body as it changes. Simply, your body is in a constant state of regeneration or degeneration.
If you regularly eliminate toxins whether physical, chemical and/or mental and reevaluate your life a few times per year, then you are healthier than 97% of the population! You clearly understand the importance of taking that time out for yourself to remove as many toxins from your body on a regular basis as possible.
For The Rest – Let’s Detox Our Body Naturally
Here are simple guidelines to begin with:
1. Drink More Water – Your body is 60% Water.
Experts once outlined that we should drink 8 – 8-ounce glasses of water, but have recently revised the recommendation. Now, it depends on your size and weight, your activity level and also where you live.
Leading experts now, recommend that you should aim to drink daily an ounce of water for each pound you weigh. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, that would be 75 to 150 ounces of water a day. If you are living in a hot climate and regularly exercising, you would need to be aiming for the higher end of that range; if you are in a cooler climate and mostly sedentary, you would require less. The recommendation was redefined by experts as dehydration was becoming alarmingly notable with the apparent increase of cases of obesity and kidney stones.
2. Breathe Deeper – Remember to take deep oxygenating breaths several times daily. Our cells need oxygen to thrive! Cancer and disease flourish in an oxygen-deficient body. Taking exercise classes such as Yoga can encourage deep, cleansing breaths and play a major role in promoting detoxification. It can help eliminate carbon dioxide from the lung tissue, stimulate the organs of digestion and can, over time, retrain the diaphragm to move freely.
3. Eat Alkaline Foods– Most people consume acidic foods and live an acidic lifestyle that is high stress, fast paced and laden with fast or convenient type style foods placing a significant strain on our body. Train your taste buds to crave more organic and natural foods to help your bodies natural process of detoxification and health.
4. Add or Increase Exercise– Start moving your body. Even if it is a brisk walk, get outside and get moving, your body from you head to your toes will thank you for it!
5. Mindset- A healthy detox is not just about cleansing the physical body, but also the mind. Keep positive and remember how far you have come. Read your affirmations and take time out for ‘you’ on a daily basis. Read or listen to motivating and educational information, which will support you in maintaining your new healthy lifestyle.
6. Support With Nutritional Supplements- Invest in supplements to help cleanse to replenish essential nutrients.
Life on the go? Supercharge with amazing whole-food smoothies! These nutritional drinks are jammed packed with vitamins and minerals and deliver helpful vital fruit and vegetable nutrition to support your body quickly.
7. Change Your Lifestyle Choices – The focus needs to be on identifying what your body needs and making lifestyle choices that provide those requirements so your body can perfectly express its given design for health and the highest quality of life. Create a balance of sufficiency between the ends of the spectrum of toxicity and deficiency.
8. Support A Healthy Nervous System – Get chiropractic adjustments regularly to maintain an optimal nerve supply which is the delivery system of messages from your brain to your entire body and vital organs.

Have you ever scrolled through you Facebook and found a common thread of illness and heartache now being posted almost virally between friends and family you know and their re-posts? As our world connection is virtually delivered, we are able to see that chronic disease has now touched more of our lives than ever before. Although previously our news consisted of subjects like crime, epidemics, and natural disasters, there is now a newer problem that has surpassed these topics and has connected us to the top worldwide killer on the planet – chronic disease.
A Declared Threat
This threat of chronic diseases is no longer a threat but now declared by the World Health Organization as the number one killer on the planet. Chronic disease is now the cause of over fifty percent of deaths worldwide. Furthermore, the death toll currently caused by chronic disease continues to increase steadily.
Alarming Facts Stated By the World Health Organization:
- Chronic diseases are now the major cause of death and disability worldwide.
- Noncommunicable conditions, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes, obesity, cancer and respiratory diseases, now account for 59% of the 57 million deaths annually and 46% of the global burden of disease.
- High-risk factors – high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, and alcohol – cause the majority of the chronic disease burden.
- A change in dietary habits, physical activity, and tobacco control, have a major impact on reducing the rates of these chronic diseases, often in a relatively short time.
- Heart attacks and strokes kill about 12 million people every year; another 3.9 million die from hypertensive and other heart conditions.
- More than one billion adults worldwide are overweight; at least 300 million of them are clinically obese.
- About 75% of CVD can be attributed to the majority risks: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, low fruit and vegetable intake, inactive lifestyle and tobacco.
- Sustained behavioral interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing population risk factors.
21st Century Lifestyles to Blame
Chronic diseases include things like heart disease and strokes, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and dementia, and many others. These diseases are widely understood to be the result of our modern lifestyle choices. Over the past several decades, research has shown that these chronic illnesses are preventable in large part if we learn to make different choices. In other words, if we live differently.
Unfortunately, today people worldwide are consuming more foods that are energy-dense – high in sugar and/or saturated fats – or excessively salty. This nutritional shift to fast and processed foods in combination with our sedentary behavior is occurring at an alarming rate.
Predictions for the future are that this chronic illness crisis, as bad as it is today, will get much worse. Cancer rates have been predicted to go up by 50% by the year 2020. One in three children born in the USA today will develop diabetes. And research continues to show our toxic modern lifestyle is the cause.
Prevention is Still the Best Cure
As you know prevention is the best cure. With today’s knowledge of identifying the cause, our expert team is here to help you change and build for a healthier future. We want to help you build a better lifestyle which includes what you think, what you eat, and how you use your body.
If you are currently suffering from a chronic disease please do not hesitate to call us. We are here to help and look forward to posting your new lease on life success story! SHARE!!
