Feeling tired, suffering from headaches, or experiencing unexplained dizziness? You might be dehydrated!



How to fuel your body with water.
Many of us know that water is vital to our health. It allows our bodies to replenish and flush out toxins from our systems. Drinking water can decrease hunger cravings and fill up your stomach so that you do not crave junk food or other beverages such as sodas or caffeine. Keeping hydrated decreases stress and prevents headaches or migraines. However, many of us do not know how much our bodies need or the quality of water that we should be aware of.

How much water should you be drinking?
A great base line to calculate the amount of water you should be drinking in a day is the following tool.
Take your weight in pounds and divide by two. Convert pounds to ounces. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should be drinking at least 80 ounces of water a day. This may seem like a lot at first if you are not used to consuming this much water. But, soon you will notice the effects of keeping hydrated and it will become second nature. You should be drinking a lot more if you are exercising or working outside in the heat.

Filtered water > Tap water
The reason you want filtered water is because there are a lot of heavy metals and sediment in tap water. Autopsies of people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s have shown heavy metals in their brain. Two of the most common metals are Fluoride and Aluminum, which are in our everyday tap water.
You are able to get your own filtration system that can be as cheap as a couple hundred dollars up to costing thousands of dollars. In hindsight, the money is worth it to protect you and your family’s health.

Begin your day with 16 ounces of (filtered) water with either some lemon or apple cider vinegar mixed in. This will help to wake you up and clear out the waste from all of the detoxing that occurs overnight.

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b

Chiropractic And Risks - Can An Adjustment Actually Cause A Stroke?

There is constantly false information being spread about Chiropractic. But the reality is we have a safety record that is the envy of all other health and medical professions. Perhaps the most dangerous false myth is that Chiropractic care can, in rare circumstances cause a particular type of stroke involving the arteries in the neck. However the research completely contradicts this. We spend this short episode explaining the truth! Check out this episode!
