While the Law of Attraction is about vibrationally aligning yourself with whatever it is you want; the law of inspired action is about taking action to bring what you want to fruition. So, you can certainly create vision boards, but taking physical steps to move closer to your vision is much more crucial, even if you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone to do so.

When bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease enter into your circulatory system, your liver releases C-reactive proteins, which have inflammatory effects. Inflammation, in turn, is known to be a disease-causing force leading to most chronic illness. The type of bacteria called P. gingivalis has been found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, and may be a causative contributor to the condition. Failing to brush daily has been shown to increase the risk of dementia by as much as 65%, compared to brushing three times a day. A recent study involving 40,175 middle-aged adults with no history of stroke or dementia found that people with poor oral health had higher levels of neuroimaging markers associated with white brain matter injury. Because these markers precede and are established risk factors of stroke and dementia, the results suggest that oral health is a promising target for very early interventions focused on improving brain health.

Research shows that structural shifts in spinal alignment and the nerve obstruction they cause may be a factor in a number of disorders and can result in a host of health problems such as vertigo and hearing loss because the body’s homeostatic mechanism is thrown off. Other chiropractic researchers have reported on similar results regarding vertigo, Meniere’s, and chiropractic. If you damage, compress, or otherwise interfere with the neurological structures in the spine this can have far reaching implications on the functioning of the body. Through research reports like this we are finding that correcting the structural abnormalities associated with these spinal problems reduces the nerve obstructions and people experience improvement. In this study it was resolution of Meniere’s Disease. The nervous system controls and coordinates all functions of the body. Misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can occur that obstruct the nerves and interfere with their function. By correcting vertebral subluxations, chiropractic improves nerve supply and function.

Butternut squash is also an excellent source of vitamin C, containing up to 34% of the recommended daily amount in just 1 cup. Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen, the main protein in your skin.
