Why Calcium? by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

There are many indications of nutritional deficiencces that have been known for years.

Calcium is one of the most essential minerals to the health of the human body. Most people know that calcium is needed to build bones, but it is also needed in every cell of the body. Calcium is the key mineral to help activate the immune system to keep the body healthy, and to maintain normal muscle and nerve function.

Some common symptoms associated with calcium deficiency:

·      brittle fingernails, poor teeth, bone loss

·      numbness or tingling in your hands, feet or face

·      muscle spasms or muscle cramps

·      low resistance against infection, sinus trouble

·      memory loss, depression, irritability

·      insomnia, difficulty experiencing deep sleep

Today there is an abundance of food and nutritional supplements, yet there are many people who have a hidden calcium deficiency. There is a natural, inexpensive, non-invasive way to evaluate for the need for more calcium. You can have a calcium deficiency even if you are taking calcium supplements. It is not what you eat or supplement that matters. Can your body use your supplements and what you eat?

Utilization is what is important. Calcium from rock or cement is not utilized well by the body. The task is to find the correct source and amount of calcium for each individual. There is no such thing as one pill or one food for everyone. Fixing a deficiency can be very simple when using whole food calcium sources.

The best sources of calcium are the food sources, as they are the most easily metabolized sources of calcium. Eating fresh vegetables daily like broccoli, kale, parsley, and spinach provides the body with much needed calcium and other minerals. Foods high in calcium to add to your diet also include whole sesame and sunflower seeds, dulse seaweed, kelp and almonds. These foods have a more easily usable form of calcium compared to other sources.

We are all unique individuals, each with a different history, a different diet and lifestyle, different stressors, different metabolisms, and different nutritional needs. It is vital to find the specific type of calcium that your body can use so your muscles, nerves, bones, teeth and immune system function well.

If you have any of the above deficiency symptoms, there is help. A simple calcium test plus a review of your diet and lifestyle can easily determine what simple changes you can make to improve your body function, reduce your deficiency symptoms, and help you achieve optimal health and longevity.

Do You Eat Cashews?

Amazing Cashew Nuts!

(Source: NaturalNews)

The good news is, there is a natural alternative for these dangerous psychotropic 
meds if you are trying to battle depression: cashew nuts!

A coulee of handfuls of cashews work like a prescription does of Prozac, according 
to the Family Health Freedom Network, citing some of the latest research.

"Cashews are high in tryptophan, which the body turns into serotonin. Serotonin is 
responsible for mood regulation, healthy sleep and even sexual desire in the body", 
the site reported.

"Increasing your tryptophan intake by consuming whole, natural cashews sound like
an excellent alternative to prescription drugs any day. They also provide a host of 
other benefits to the body as well, from your cardiovascular health to your digestive 
system."

Health Tips Spot reported further that the cashew nut is also one of the world's 
healthiest foods, though only a small percentage of the natural medicines database 
is focused on cashew
benefits research.

These nuts come primarily from Brazil and a few countries in Africa. They are very 
rich in vitamins, have a high beneficial mineral content, and contain good fat in the 
form of essential fatty acids.

Enjoy the many health benefits these nuts can provide by adding them to your daily 
diet.

Running Out of Energy? by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Running out of energy refers to a condition where you keep pushing your body to go, or you feel like you have no motivation to do anything. This is not a reference to making sure that you have eaten a sufficient quantity of food or need better goals. Low or no energy refers to the reduced function of the hormonal system to generate energy.

The job of the hormonal system is to activate your entire body and keep it going all day. A normally functioning hormonal system would enable you to easily jump out of bed in the morning. How many of you have to drag your body out of bed and get a stimulant like a cup of coffee in order to function? If you are tired in the morning and/or need caffeine to get going, your hormones are not working well.

If you experience fatigue after lunch or midday, or reach for something sweet to eat to get some energy, your hormones are not functioning normally. Your hormonal system should be providing your body with energy all day, and allow you to relax and sleep at night. If you are having any difficulty getting to sleep, staying asleep or waking up frequently during the night, your hormonal system is out of balance.

In addition to fatigue, the other indicators of a hormonal system that needs help include, sugar and/or salt cravings, weight gain, pain, hair thinning or loss, cold hands and feet and feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Stress is one of the major reasons that the hormonal system fails to do its job.

Too much stress can play havoc with the hormonal system. Ongoing or chronic stress adversely affects your ability to make the hormones needed for daily function. The stress response of the body burns out over time causing fatigue, insomnia, altered mood, lack of motivation, poor digestion, decreased sex drive, irritability, depression, sugar cravings, chronic pain, inability to stay asleep, osteoporosis, weight gain, and more symptoms.

There is a natural solution to help repair hormonal imbalance regardless of the stage of hormonal function your body is in. Various alternative approaches to repairing hormonal imbalances range from dietary and lifestyle changes to natural hormonal support. Consult a holistic wellness physician to find out more about your hormones, what stage of hormonal function your body is in, and what can be done to rejuvenate your energy.

If you feel that you are dragging your body around or have difficulty getting motivated  there is a natural solution available. Get checked by Dr. Sherry Yale, DC at TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia, MI if you are not sure if your hormones are working correcttly or not.  Dr Yale uses a simple, non-invasive method called NRT or Nutrition Response Testing to evaluate what your individual body needs are, and what your body wants.

Real Sweets for Your Sweetie by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Sweets are often given to show others how much we care about them.  Show your affection by giving the gift of sweets with real ingredients. There are many different types of sweeteners available today, from natural to man-made synthetics.

Most processed foods now contain some form of sweetener. Corn is used to make sweeteners because it is cheaper and twice as sweet as table sugar. It is absorbed only 40% as quickly as glucose and causes only a modest rise in blood sugar. Corn has been altered to make high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), fructose, sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sweet & low, sucrose, malto-dextrin, poly dextrose, inositol, and saccharin. The average person today consumes 60 pounds of HFCS, which is approximately 19% of the average person's diet.

This man-made HFCS has replaced sugar as the sweetener in many beverages, candy and foods such as breads, cereals, breakfast bars, luncheon meats, yogurts, soups and condiments. Other man-made sugars to avoid include Sucralose or Splenda and Aspartame, also known as Amino-sweet or Nutra-sweet. Aspartame is a genetically engineered sugar that has been linked to several severe degenerative diseases.

Man-made sugars are causing health issues and creating hidden food allergies. The three most common food allergens are wheat/gluten, dairy and corn. Of the three food allergens, corn is the only food that is used to make sweeteners. For those with corn sensitivities, eating sweets made from corn can be the cause of many undesirable health issues.

Many digestive issues, migraines and headaches, brain fog, aches and pains, chronic sinus congestion and asthma/allergies are related to hidden food allergies. Simple non-invasive nutrition testing can help determine hidden food allergies and effectively aid in creating a program to successfully reduce many unwanted health conditions.

Show your sweetie how much you really care by giving real sweets. Look for sweet treats that are not made from corn with high fructose corn syrup or vanillin flavoring (artificial vanilla), or artificial sweeteners. Good sweets have real flavorings, real sugar and real ingredients. Most of the better  sweets are available in local health food stores and specialty shops.

If you feel that your body is craving sugar or has difficulty handling sugar, or you are not sure if you have a food allergy or sensitivity to sugar, there is a natural solution available to help find out how sugar is affecting your body.. Get checked by Dr. Sherry Yale, DC at TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia, MI if you are not sure if your body is handling sugar correcttly or not.  Dr Yale uses a simple, non-invasive method called NRT or Nutrition Response Testing to evaluate what your individual body needs are, and what fats your body wants. 

If you live in any of the surrounding cities of Detroit including Farmington, Farmington Hills, Bloomfield Hills, Novi Redford etc. contact Dr. Yale today at (734) 664 - 0339 to schedule your no charge initial consultation and screening evaluation to determine if your body needs any help handling sugar. 

Your Key to Fat Health posted by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Are Your Eating Fat?

There are good fats and bad fats. A major irritant to the digestive tract is Trans fat. These bad trans fats are used in all commercially processed food products. Trans fats take 120 days to break down. Because they take 3 months, they cause an inflammatory reaction in the GI tract and throughout the entire body.  Good dietary fats are used by the body within 18 days to make cell membranes, brain cells and hormones.  

If you want to be healthy you must eat good fat, not Trans fat. Your body needs good fat to function properly. Nearly half of the dry weight of the brain is fat, and a quarter of this is cholesterol. Besides the brain, every cell membrane in the body contains fat, and some of those fats cannot by synthesized -- making it essential to obtain these fats from diet. 

There are two fatty acids which cannot be manufactured in the body, and which must be obtained from dietary sources. These are the essential fatty acids, which are needed by the brain and all cell membranes. The essential fatty acids are found in the diet in only a few food sources: flaxseed, cold water fish, and fish oils.

These highly beneficial fats are called the Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils. The correct dietary ratio for optimal health between these two oils is 2 Omega-6 to 1 Omega-3. Yet, the average American diet has a ratio of 25 Omega-6 to 1 Omega-3.

The liver and gall bladder are responsible for fat metabolism. The liver makes bile, the ingredient necessary for the breakdown of fat. The gall bladder is a storage sac for the bile, and releases the bile as needed into the digestive tract. When fats and oils are not digested properly the body cannot correctly make or use cholesterol, make hormones or bile. 

Poor fat digestion affects the balance of hormones, the formation of vitamins, creates pain and inflammation in the body, alters skin color and texture, and causes digestive difficulties. The body must be able to digest all fats, including the essential fats to achieve optimal health. The answer is not a low fat diet, but to restore the digestive tract to normal function, so that it can digest fat properly. 

Not sure what about your overall digestive function or what fats your might need in your diet? There is a simple way to find out. Get checked by Dr. Sherry Yale, DC at TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia, MI if you are not sure what fats are best for you to eat. Dr Yale uses a simple, non-invasive method called NRT or Nutrition Response Testing to evaluate what your individual body needs are, and what fats your body wants.

Eating To Look Younger Part 1, posted on January 11, 2016 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

As we start the New Year here are some great foods to add to your diet to help you feel and look healthier and enable your skin look younger.

      Collagen: Collagen is used to make connective tissue for the skin. So does Vitamin C.  An interesting source of collagen would include honey. Honey has an amino acid in it called proline which is used to make collagen. Sweetener of choice – Honey.  I would avoid artificial sweeteners.  Bell peppers are a great source of vitamin C.

      Essential fatty acids: EFA's nourish the skin, help maintain skin integrity and keep skin cells performing optimally. "Essential fatty acids, a component of all cell membranes in the body, regulate the flow of nutrients, waste materials, and water in and out of cells—which keeps you looking young."  Flax oil and walnuts.

      Liver Cleansers: Foods that keep our livers cleansed of toxins, heavy metals and fats make our whole body function more efficiently. This makes us happier, which affects how we look. Plus, a healthy liver brightens our eyes and tightens our skin.  Best food for our liver – beets!  Also, green foods like broccoli and spinach take away the craving for sweets.  When you crave and eat sweets you are creating a process for wrinkles called glycation.  A wrinkle causing food would include yogurt.

      Fresh herbs for flavor: basil, dill and parsley. If you have puffy bags under your eyes in the morning, you are almost certainly consuming much more salt than you need.  Another problem is alcohol: It dehydrates you and can make your skin sag. The worst combination is alcohol and salt, which causes puffy dark circles under your eyes. Don’t go to the bar and have chips and beer. Use fresh herbs instead of salt.  Sparkling water instead of alcohol.

     Crunchy vegetables: Fresh raw veggies are as good for your grin as they are for your skin! Celery, carrots, string beans and cauliflower contain cellulose which helps scrub stains from your teeth—giving you a whiter, brighter smile. Both the cellulose and the [other] fiber in these foods act as abrasives that clean and remove bacteria from teeth.

   Alkalized Antioxidant Rich Water:  Alkalized water is the most anti-aging water there is. This water tastes different and hydrates the body easier and faster than other waters. The high level of  antioxidants in this water when it is fresh make it beneficial for both the inside of the body, and the outside. Drinking this water allows the skin to become properly hydrated, which improves facial muscle tone and reduces wrinkles.

A New You in the New Year posted on January 1, 2016 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC

Did you make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight? Here are some simple tips to start you on the road to a New You in the New Year.

It is true that you are what youeat. To lose more weight this year you need to stop eating fat storing foods and eat fat burning foods. Getting your metabolism to work efficiently is also important in weight loss.

Having an efficient metabolism means correctly digesting foods, and burning stored body fat for fuel. Food digestion requires the proper combination of digestive enzymes produced by the stomach, liver and pancreas. Failure to digest efficiently results in the undigested food being stored as unwanted body fat.

 

Sugar is a fat storing food. Sugar is hidden in all processed and man-made foods. Sugar is the product of all carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include fruits, vegetable and grains. Your body converts natural and man-made foods like potatoes, corn, pop, fries, chips, breads, pasta, cakes, candies, juices and cookies into sugar. Eating more sugar in the form of carbohydrates than your body needs will cause you to gain weight.

Your body needs 80-100 grams of carbohydrates daily for fuel. Carbohydrates are the kindling to the fire. The body burns them quickly and then burns the slower burning fuel, fat. The body cannot burn stored fat when carbohydrates are eaten too frequently.

The average American consumes between 300-600 grams of carbohydrates daily, or 1-3 cups of sugar. What the body cannot process or use, it will store as excess body fat around your waist, hips and thighs. To lose weight, look for the hidden sugars and eliminate them from your diet.
