Mental Health
Description
Defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), as a state of well-being, in which every individual realizes his or her potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can make a contribution to her or his community.
The word “mental-health” has also become increasingly popular within the last few years, and we believe that with chiropractic and drugless care, anyone can improve their state of mental health.
Chiropractic is rooted in helping the brain and nervous system, and current research shows that chiropractic care alone can increase brain function by 20-50%!
How does someone’s mental health impact their body and current state of health?
Humans are the only animals who regularly experience a stress response without an actual stressor present:
-Common conditions include depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), drug addiction, worry, social anxiety, phobias, and panic attacks.
-Research has linked Alzheimer’s and dementia to high aluminum levels in the brain.
-Aluminum has been found in soil, water, air, processed foods, drugs, vaccines, deodorants, cosmetic products, and even different kinds of toothpaste. You may also find aluminum in plastic containers, foils, and cooking utensils.
-Conventional and traditional medical approaches include medications or therapy.
Drugless Mental-Health Protocol
-Adding a stable source of energy, in this case, protein. (Your brain uses roughly twenty percent of your energy, but is only about two percent of your body weight.)
-Add nutrients that are right for you. These include green, leafy vegetables.
-Add important antioxidants. This helps reduce oxidation and keep your brain “clean.”
-Add essential fatty acids (EFA’s): These protect the brain, decrease inflammation, and help transmit important messages to the rest of the body.
-Drink water: Each day, drink half of your body weight in ounces.
-Remove sugar, wheat, and soy products. These have been found to take essential minerals, including zinc, out from your body.
-Exercise! Find activities you like that require movement for thirty minutes a day.
-Complete an Omega Oils Serum Profile, which helps to determine which oils your body needs.
