Chiropractic Tip of the
Month:
Your Spine - Your Connection to Life
Your life depends on the nerve connections made to all parts
of the body through the spine. A misaligned vertebrae (a
subluxation) can have a direct effect on the functioning of
your body by impeding proper nerve flow.
Getting and maintaining a properly aligned spine will allow
impulses to travel freely along the spinal cord to all
organs. Chiropractic care can help with this process to
maintain optimum wellness, and to restore your health when
needed.
To book a spinal check please call the clinic at
416.815.9595. |
Naturopathic
Tip of the Month:
Understanding
‘Essential Fatty Acids’
“Good fats” can
be separated into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats
which come from whole grains, green vegetables, nuts/seeds,
algae and seafood (esp cold water fish). Polyunsaturated
fats can be further broken down into two particularly
beneficial forms; omega 3 and omega 6 = ‘essential fatty
acids’ or EFA’s. They are considered essential because of
their importance in our health yet they cannot be
manufactured by the body and thus we must get them from our
diets.
Benefits of EFA’s include: reducing one’s risk for heart
disease through lowering cholesterol & blood pressure,
anti-inflammatory properties useful in conditions such as
autoimmune disease, MS and learning disorders, as well as
being shown to decrease the incidence of certain types of
cancer.
Foods high in EFA’s include: raw unsalted nuts and seeds,
avocados, coldwater fish (ie wild salmon), flaxseeds and
flaxseed oil. Be sure to contact your Naturopathic Doctor to
ensure you are getting enough of these heart friendly fats
from a reliable, uncontaminated source.
