Dr. Carrie's Health Tips

-A 12ounce can of soda pop contains 9 teaspoons of sugar!! That’s three shot glasses full of sugar every time you drink soda. Think diet soda is better? The additives here are only one conversion away from TURPENTINE!!


A New England Journal of Medicine study showed that moderate-intensity exercises performed 3-4 times/week had substantial health benefits in postmenopausal women (more so than vigorous activity or a sedentary lifestyle.)


The Archives of Internal Medicine report that drug-dosing errors occur 1 in 5 times in U. S. Hospitals. The author estimates that this would equate to two incorrect medication errors each day to each admitted patient!


Waist circumference may be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease and diabetes than Body Mass Index (BMI.)


Margarine is only one molecule away from being plastic! Although butter is slightly higher in saturated fats (8 grams vs. 5 grams), eating margarine can increase heart disease by 53% according to a Harvard Medical Study.


TMJ (jaw pain) has been effectively treated and cured under chiropractic and dental care combined.


Manipulation of the shoulder joint has been proven to be one of the most effective solutions to shoulder conditions such as impingement syndromes and tendinitis.


Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) provides no benefit against cardiovascular disease and actually increases the risk of breast cancer, and cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women. (JAMA: 1/7/04)


Vitamin D deficiency contributes to musculoskeletal pain. Getting 10-20 minutes of sunlight/day will allow your body to synthesize Vit D naturally.
Elderly or home-bound persons should consider supplementation.


Glutamate (the bad part of MSG) is found in many additives and has been clinically linked to chronic migraine and fibromyalgia.


Adequate intake of EPA/DHA (fish oils) is important in combating depression. Increasing intake of omega-2 fats has been shown to elevate mood as well as decrease inflammation.


Learn to follow your circadian rhythm!! Sleeping when it is dark and remaining active while it is light regulates natural melatonin levels as well as boosts the immune system.


Fever is a naturally occurring process that helps the body produce more antibiotics and directly kills the bug by raising the body temperature.


Increasing fruits and vegetables and reducing red meat intake will help to combat all inflammatory processes!
