Give Up Soft Drinks

A typical can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 empty calories and artificial colors, flavorings and preservatives. And all this from a beverage that has absolutely no redeeming nutritional value.

Consider what’s inside the typical soda can:

Phosphoric Acid. This common ingredient compromises your ability to use calcium, leading to osteoporosis and other bone disorders.

Corn Sweeteners. Sugar, in its various forms, raises insulin levels and can invite diabetes, weight gain, tooth decay and other adverse affects.

Artificial Sweeteners. Diet sodas with aspartame may be even worse. There are dozens of known health risks linked to this chemical which may intensify if the soda is stored for long periods or has been allowed to warm.

Caffeine. This nervous system stimulant is added to sodas to provide a drug-induced energy boost. Caffeine is an addictive substance that can produce a daily craving.

Pure water is a wiser choice. But if you feel compelled to drink a carbonated beverage, consider sparkling mineral water with some lemon juice.

How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in WashingtonTownship encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
What controls every cell, tissue and organ of your body?
DNA? Wrong. Immune system? Wrong? Hormones? Wrong. It's your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body. When a chiropractor sees a WashingtonTownship patient with say, stomach problems, we want to know why the brain is unable to properly control and regulate the stomach. Which prompts us to examine the nervous system—the focus of chiropractic care.
