IMMUNE SYSTEM
* made up of cells, organs, and other substances that protect your body from infection and disease
* first defense against germs and helps you heal when you’re sick

CHIROPRACTIC
When the bones in your spine, called vertebrae, shift out of place, it can interfere with the nervous system’s communication. This misalignment is known as a vertebral subluxation and can affect your body’s ability to function and heal. Even small misalignments can cause big issues. Chiropractors gently adjust the spine to improve nerve function and restore balance.

The findings suggest that even at an older age, it’s not too late to take action to reduce the risk for hip fracture.

Mental Attitude: Twin Dementia Diagnosis May Be Risk Factor for Early Death for Sibling.

Using data from the Swedish Twin Registry, researchers report that among fraternal twins, if one received a dementia diagnosis, the other twin had a slightly lessened life expectancy compared with fraternal twins in which neither developed dementia. The research team suspects this may be due to unhealthy habits acquired during childhood by both siblings, which may elevate the risk for dementia in one and conditions like heart disease in the other.
