The good news is you don’t have to sacrifice your love of all things chocolate to reap the benefits that superfoods have to offer us. Dark chocolate (usually cocoa solids of at least 70%) contains flavonoids called polyphenols which help blood pressure, clotting, and inflammation.

It has been the subject of many studies in recent years and has been proven to reduce the risks and symptoms of cardiovascular disease in those who suffer or that are likely to develop it!

Dark chocolate has also been proven to be among the foods which positively benefit our mental health, having mood-boosting properties along with overall heart-helping ones.

Unfortunately, milk chocolate and most candy bars don't make the grade when it comes to protecting your heart.

Beetroot is a simple, unassuming vegetable that (until very recently) many people have neglected to include in their diet due to a general lack of information about their benefits. This superfood is rich in a vast amount of anti-inflammatory and digestion-boosting nutrients.

Beetroot is a good source of iron and folate (naturally occurring folic acid). It also contains nitrates, betaine, magnesium, and other antioxidants (notably betacyanin). More recent health claims suggest beetroot can help lower blood pressure, boost exercise performance, and prevent dementia, all of which combine to make beetroot one of the ultimate superfoods there is!!

Its versatility means beetroot can be added into an extensive amount of dishes and fillings, giving a vibrant purple hue and appetizing infusion to any dish!

This Sweet Potato Beet Hash recipe fully makes use of the superfood we all need to be eating more of and which will only get more popular as the awareness of superfoods spreads:

Athletic impacts to the legs, feet, head, shoulders, and torso often radiate to the spine which can misalign the spinal column. These subluxations can lead to both temporary and long-lasting concerns and should never be underestimated!

If you’ve taken a hard hit, had an intense fall, or suspect you’ve injured yourself in any way, please give us a call to schedule a consultation before causing yourself more harm: 203-426-4700

STRESSED?

(Symptoms usually include a rise in blood pressure or heart rate, rapid breathing, muscle tension, and anxiety.)

On a simple level, the spinal joints and surrounding muscles are strongly affected by stress. Neck muscles and joints are also affected, resulting many times in strong headaches.

Applying pressure to manipulate your spinal cord has instantly made patients feel better. Chiropractors are also trained in nutritional and other therapies for stress.

Combining various factors of chiropractic treatments (adjustments and the appropriate diet and exercise regimen) is sure to help keep your body free from the physical reactions of stress.

Another superfood that is amazing for boosting brain health and functionality is the humble avocado!

Recently revealed as actually belonging to the FRUIT family, this amazing superfood has been in the limelight in the realm of foodies for some time now.

While avocados often get a bad rep because of their high-fat content, it’s important to note that these green powerhouses are packed with monounsaturated fats, or the “good” kind of fats which help in keeping blood sugar levels steady and your skin glowing.

Just some of the benefits of regularly eating avocados include:

• A wealth of nutritious heart-healthy fats

• About half your day’s fiber, folate, vitamin A, potassium, and more essential nutrients are in just one serving

• Improved heart health

• Hormone balance

• Better digestive health

High levels of monounsaturated fats in avocados mean they are amazing at regulating blood sugar levels, improving memory and brain activity, reducing the effects of inflammation, promoting healthy growth and development, and also boosting our immunity!!!

Research has indicated that patients who enjoy regular chiropractic adjustments have significantly stronger immune systems than those who seek no chiropractic care.

This is perceived to be due to each chiropractor who analyzes the spine for subluxations and provides corrective adjustments to reduce the stress on the nervous system, which in turn stimulates the immune system!

Try Chiropractic to Treat Colic!

Does your child cry for more than three hours a day, three days a week, and for more than three weeks in a row?

The contorting of the muscles and bones during the birth process can throw off alignment, potentially making an infant more susceptible to disease and sickness. A very gentle and soothing chiropractic adjustment can be provided as soon as the first day of birth.

In a study involving infants with colic, infants who received chiropractic care had a 2.7-hour reduction in crying time, while those who received a prescription drug decreased their crying time by only 1 hour. In another study, 93% of infants who received chiropractic care saw a significant change within two weeks.

Let the adjustment provide the soothing!

Oats are a natural superfood because they are 100% whole grain, and contain lots of vitamins and minerals. They contain fiber and are unique in that they are one of the richest sources of rich beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that can help to lower cholesterol re-absorption.

They are also low in sodium (salt), minimally processed, and provide protein and carbohydrates for energy.

These are just some of the reasons why oats are considered one of ‘nature’s superfoods!’
