Heart Attacks, Strokes, - Antioxidant's and Omega 3's

Hello Everyone,
Dr. Dylan Foster here, Your favorite whole health and wellness chiropractor.
I just got back from an amazing time in Vegas from a Parker chiropractic Convention where I was able to learn from the greatest minds.
Shortly we will be adding a new spinal scan system in our office that will measure the electrical conductivity of your spine as well as the heat throughout each segment. More on this in a later post. My main Point of today's email is the major concern we all face with chronic diseases, cancer, degeneration, atherosclerosis, strokes and heart attacks and what we can do about it.

The main mind set we all have to get over is the fact that we are all symptom based beings.
If we have a symptom, we usually try to do something about it. If we don't have any symptoms then we typically do nothing but live our lives while chronically exposing ourselves to toxins in our foods and environment. The problems is that these life threatening health conditions all start and go on for a very long time without any symptoms at all.

What is the first symptom of a heart condition? it is a heart attack! And for about 50% of us, that heart attack is FATAL. It was our one and only symptom.
So what do we do????
From my recent readings, studies and trainings I have found and learned that there are 2 main reasons for all of these major health conditions to take place and cause problems.

1. INFLAMMATION:I'm sure all of you have had your doctor tell you to take an aspirin a day. Well a lot of medical research shows us that inflammation is a major cause of disease. What we need to look at is:
A)What is causing this inflammation? Inflammation comes from stress to the body. Many of these stressor's can be allergies and sensitivities, toxins, emotional stresses, eating bad foods, not drinking enough water or merely physical stress many of us place on ourselves by not being structurally aligned and exercising.
B) How do we reduce this inflammation (without the use of toxic medication)?
a. We get our allergy treatments done by us Advanced Allergy Relief of Arizona to remove the constant stress our body is experiencing from eating and breathing. That stress makes inflammation, whether you see it or not, it is there causing slow damage.
b. we get adjusted making sure our nervous system is functioning good
c. we exercise regularly and drink plenty of water (1/2 oz/lb of body weight)
d. we take a good whole food multivitamin/mineral supplement such as sea Aloe (www.FostersSeaAloe.com)
e. work on positive thoughts and affirmations.
f. limit or eliminate processed refined foods such as fast food, packaged foods and sodas.
g. GET YOUR OMEGA 3'S IN!!! Omega 3 oils have been shown to drastically reduce inflammation even if you have a typical American diet. These would be your fish oils, flax seed oils and and my all time favorite is Krill oil. Krill is the best because they don't have the toxins and mercury in them from the ocean so they don't go rancid nearly as easily as fish oils do.

2. FREE RADICAL DAMAGE: These bad boys do A LOT of damage to our bodies. We have all heard of antioxidants, but research is now showing us how CRITICAL and CRUCIAL these antioxidants are on a daily basis to help prevent this free radical damage from taking place and eating at our heart and arteries, as well as all of our other organs for that matter. In fact a lot of research is now showing us that CHOLESTEROL itself when high is not a bad thing. It is when this cholesterol is combined with these free radicals that that the cholesterol will harden and cause the problems that is known from high cholesterol.
Obviously it would be a great idea to take an antioxidant every day. One of the best one I know is one we sell in our office it is a fruit juice called Superfruits GT. it is a mix of some of the highest level of antioxidants fruits available in a very pure high quality liquid form.

the big question remains.... How do I know if I am getting enough antioxidants in ? that is where I have some more good news for all of you. In the next couple weeks we will have a new machine in our office that by using your breath we can measure your oxidative stress levels and give you an accurate OBJECTIVE measurement as your good or bad range of free radical damage.

This new machine is called the Revelar and it will tell us if you are having a lot of free radical damage taking place or if you are doing good through your diet and supplement regimen. The reason I purchased the machine was because with my pretty good diet, my numbers were much higher then they should have been and I figured out if mine were that high, I can only imagine what most of my patients will be! Plus, one of the most intelligent research driven doctors I know of in the field of natural health makes everyone of his patients get tested with this machine. You can learn more about it by visiting http://www.myrevelar.com/

I hope you found this educational and informative!

I wish you all the best in health and happiness!
