Insulin Resistance is Caused by Fat in Muscles.

Posted on 04/22/2013

The WHO (World Health Organization) has warned that Diabetes Type 2 (caused by improper lifestyles) has reached epidemic proportions; some regions of the world at greater risk than others, mostly due to geographic and economic factors. The focus on Diabetes by western Medicine is to manage blood glucose levels. This is a failed formula and that is the principal reason why the incidence of Diabetes-related illnesses are also on the rise. Type 2 Diabetes is caused by Insulin Resistance also…

Living a “Balanced” Life

Posted on 04/20/2013

Life is good… until it isn’t. When things happen, especially unexpected things, we are out of our normal order, we are disturbed, feel out of balance and for many these are stressful times. Life is out of balance! What happened? Life was strolling along just fine but then an event took place that takes us “out” of normal order. So life’s experiences tells us that we need to always maintain a balanced life. I agree that life is better when we…

About Pillows and Mattresses

Posted on 04/06/2013

Why is this topic important to your wellbeing? Health is preserved when cells regenerate overnight. A good night sleep is essential to your health.It is true that some people may not use a pillow at all but unless there are compelling reasons otherwise, we need to sleep on just one pillow. Two or more pillows will cause the neck to lose its lordotic curve (lordosis: forward natural bending) so my advice is to lose the habit and select the one better pillow for…

What is the Proper Sleeping Position?

Posted on 04/05/2013

As a Doctor of Chiropractic, a spinal expert, it is very common for people to ask me the question: “What’s the best sleeping position?” The short answer is to sleep on your back with some right and left side sleeping but never on your stomach. Then I hear things like: “Babies sleep on their stomach and so it must be natural to do so,” or “I just can’t sleep on my back, so I sleep on my side.” It is…

Custom Foot Orthotics

Posted on 04/04/2013

Custom Foot Orthotics aka Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers Normally we don’t think about getting shoe inserts but some of us have bad feet and should consider what a custom-made foot orthotic can do for you. What do I mean by bad feet? If you experience foot pain, for starters; but even if your feet don’t hurt they could cause knee or hip problems due to the poor 3-arch support our feet need to have the necessary support for the body’s frame, especially in motion.…

Pain is Your Friend

Posted on 04/03/2013

Before we start on this subject let me explain that, although we refer to emotional suffering as pain, it is really suffering. Nerve Ending Pain is a physical thing but did you ever think that physical pain could be your friend? Well, if you think about it, we guess in some ways right? Therefore only seeking to make the pain go away without fixing the problem behind the pain raises issues of reasonable concern. What I am saying is that…

About Fruits and Vegetables

Posted on 04/02/2013

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says: “Eat more fruits and vegetables.” You’ve likely heard this statement since childhood but when we ask people they confess that they only half listened since they just eat more fruit. To get the correct point across governments should amend the message to “Eat more vegetables and some fruit.” Why? Fruits are digested into simple sugars that can still contribute to obesity. Shocked? When the rate of obesity has increased 300% over the past 30 years there must be…

Posted on 04/01/2013

This blog comes from my professional coach of 20 years, Dr. Jim Naccarato of Lake Tahoe, USA. www.rpchiro.com and email: [email protected] Somethings are said so plainly that it is worth repeating, word for word. We all deal with stress every day. It is a useful emotion that helps us keep up with our busy lives and motivates us to do better.

Definition: myo·fas·ci·tis/ (-fah-si´tis) inflammation of a muscle and its fascia.

Cellular Focus on Health

Posted on 03/29/2013

Have you ever thought about what it takes to maintain healthy cells? All cells have a predetermined life cycle that we wish to support. A short support list could look like this: 1. Fertile environment: Nutrients + O2 + H2O 2. Unpolluted environment (internal) 3. Transport and Elimination system 4. Communication with the rest of the body – Blood indirectly to the brain (molecular analysis) – Nerves directly to the brain (Ph, temperature, foreign objects) Looking at item #1…
