Tidbit #2

New research has confirmed that fermented and cultured foods are good both for gut and brain. Eating foods that are alive and thriving due to beneficial bacteria (like yogurt, kefir, kombucha, and kimchi) can greatly improve one's mental health, concludes the review, which was published in the journal Preventive Nutrition and Food Science. Because of the way they help modulate the release of neurotransmitters like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and serotonin, fermented and cultured foods demonstrated effectiveness in improving both learning and memory. Sauerkraut, (fermented cabbage), contains an amino acid called choline that is vital for the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in muscle control, circadian rhythm and memory. Acetylcholine has also been identified as having a powerfully protective effect against Alzheimer's disease. "I expected only a few fermented foods would show up, but out of 200 fermented foods [tested], almost all of them showed the ability to exert some sort of potential to improve gut and brain health," said one of the study's authors

Tidbit #4: Flu Prevention Plan Should Include Chiropractic

Spinal adjustments can have a positive effect on immune function according to a growing number of researchers who are exploring the common denominators in disease processes, and the role of the nervous, immune, and hormonal systems in development of immune related illnesses. Dr. Christopher Kent, Co- Founder of Chiropractic Leadership Alliance explained: “A comprehensive review of the research literature reveals the current understanding that the brain and immune system are the two major adaptive systems in the body that need to talk to each other and this process is essential for maintaining homeostasis or balance in the body.” Chiropractic has always asserted that viruses and microbes don't threaten us all equally and that a healthy immune system easily repels most invaders. The immune system protects us from the flu, as well as any other infectious disease, and strives to get us well again when we do fall ill. Our immune system, like every other system in the body, is coordinated and controlled by the nervous system.
