2012-01-18T14:27:00.000-08:00

Did you know that kids can benefit from getting adjusted and having healthy spines??? Here is what 2 of our younger patients have to say about their experiences at Oasis Chiropractic... Our Patients of the week Vinny (11) and Natalia (8). Vinny says 'Oasis Chiropractic has helped me with the migraines I get. Also, I have less of lower back aches and not knowing until joining the chiropractor that I have a rib out of place and was popped back in place with only one adjustment. Natalia says 'Oasis Chiropractic has helped me with my headaches. I have not been sick for almost 1 year.

Did you refer someone in 2011 or do you know of someone that would benefit from chiropractic today?

Heavy Metal Detoxification Talk

2012-01-18T12:27:00.000-08:00

Join Dr. Eric Hahn DC on Tuesday, January 31, 2012, at 6:00pm @ Oasis Chiropractic for a Heavy Metal Detoxification talk. We are all exposed to toxins everyday from the chemicals that are on or in our food to pollution in our air and water. As a way to protect ourselves from these toxins our bodies surround them in fat and store them in the midsection of our bodies, the trouble with that is the toxins keep causing damage and symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, headaches, memory problems.

Join us for this free talk on how to get these toxins out of your body. We have limited space available so call and sign up today @ 651-458-5565.

Chiropractic Check-Ups for Kids

2011-03-02T14:48:00.000-08:00

Kids can get checked, too. Do kids need regular blood pressure check-ups or regular tests of their blood glucose levels? Probably not - these simple procedures can be done during a child's annual physical. But kids are very active and more frequent chiropractic check-ups are usually a good idea.

Most of us were introduced to chiropractic care when we were adults - and we had to play catch-up for however long a period of time before we really began to feel healthy again. If we began chiropractic care as a younger adult, it probably didn't take too long to restore good health. If we were older - well, the process probably took more time.

If chiropractic care is valuable for you, imagine how valuable it is for your children. Kids are natural explorers - they run, jump, climb things, fall down, and bounce around.¹ And, kids are resilient - this ability to recover quickly is one of the great benefits of being very young.

Want to Boost Your Metabolism? Try These 3 Things Today...

2011-01-25T06:28:00.000-08:00

Yahoo Shine suggests eight ways to boost your metabolism and keep unwanted pounds from your waistline. Here are a few of them:
Do Intervals—Periodic fast-paced intervals raise your metabolic rate higher than a steady cardio workout can.

Drink Green Tea—A study found that people who drank three to five cups daily for three months cut 5 percent off their body weight.

Consider Caffeine—Coffee drinkers have a 16 percent higher metabolic rate -- but make sure you take it early to avoid sleeping problems.

Build More Muscle—Lean muscle mass boosts your metabolism and makes losing weight more easy.

Pick Up Heavier Weights—Use heavy weights at a very slow rate to break down your muscles. Your metabolism goes up while your body makes muscle repairs.

In related news, the results of an epidemiological showed that the metabolic syndrome, a condition associated with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, is related to a poor diet low in micronutrients.

Researchers examined the relationship between the metabolic syndrome and micronutrients such as folate, zinc and vitamins C, B12 and E. After adjusting for age and sex, they found significant relationships between the metabolic syndrome and two of the micronutrients, vitamins C and E.

A few of the techniques mentioned in the Yahoo article have merit, while others are dubious at best. For example, if your goal is to improve your metabolism,, I wouldn't give much attention to strategies like

drinking cold water,
loading up on caffeine or
gorging at breakfast (which may actually be counterproductive for fat burning),

In all honesty, if you truly want to boost your metabolism, I recommend focusing on what really works, which I'll discuss in this comment. Sure, thermogenic foods (such as green tea for example) may help, but if you're really going to do it, why not maximize your chances of success rather than dallying around?

So, quit pretending quick fixes like tea or caffeine will do the work for you, and address the root instead. In this comment, I'll address three potent natural ways to optimize your metabolism:

Nutrition
Exercise, particularly high-intensity interval training and strength training (weight lifting)
Sleep

Eating This “Healthy” Food While Pregnant Can Lead to Infant Deafness, Blindness or Mental Retardation…

2011-01-18T08:10:00.000-08:00

When a pregnant woman eats a fish-rich diet, the mercury content can reduce the beneficial effects fish oil has on her child's brain development. Babies exposed in the womb to higher methyl mercury levels scored lower on skills tests.

Of five nutrients tested, only the benefits of the fish oil DHA were affected by the mercury. The extent to which methyl mercury interferes with fish oil's brain benefits is uncertain.

Environmental Health News reports:

"The beneficial effects of eating fish during pregnancy on a baby's brain development are relatively well accepted. However, some fish can contain high levels of mercury ... Government agency advisories suggest women of childbearing years eat fish with low mercury levels as well as limit consumption of fish that contain high levels."

Breaking News - Why Exercising at This Time of Day is FAR Better than Any Other Time...

2011-01-11T10:55:00.000-08:00

A new study suggests that exercising in the morning, before eating, can significantly lessen the ill effects of a poor holiday diet.

Researchers recruited healthy, active young men and fed them a bad diet for six weeks. A group of them that exercised before breakfast gained almost no weight and showed no signs of insulin resistance. What's more, they burned the fat they were taking in more efficiently.

According to the New York Times:

"... [W]orking out before breakfast directly combated the two most detrimental effects of eating a high-fat, high-calorie diet. It also helped the men avoid gaining weight."

The "Calcium Lie" Every Woman Should Know

2010-12-21T07:15:00.000-08:00

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by porous and fragile bones. It affects 44 million Americans, striking 1 in 3 women, and 1 in 5 men. Those with osteoporosis are at increased risk of height loss, fractures of the hips, wrists and vertebrae, and chronic pain.

If you've been led to believe that the key to preventing osteoporosis is increasing your calcium intake and starting on a regimen of pharmaceutical drugs, you're not alone.

I'm here to lead you past all of the confusing and conflicting information about osteoporosis and down a safer, more effective road to preventing bone loss and osteoporosis.

Read on to learn the truth about osteoporosis and calcium deficiency, what vitamins can make a real difference, and the surprising connection between bone loss and Alzheimer's disease.

This Natural Food Should Not be Consumed by Anyone at Anytime for Any Reason

2010-12-15T10:51:00.000-08:00

Milk may be a symbol of wholesomeness for most of us, but according to Time Magazine, it's also a battleground between government regulators and natural health food proponents who want to drink whole, raw milk.

The war is a test of their freedom to choose to drink a rich-tasting beverage full of beneficial bacteria, enzymes, vitamins and amino acids, that are mostly destroyed through pasteurization, the proponents say.

But to the FDA, it's a basic health issue: "Raw milk is an inherently dangerous product, and it really should not be consumed by anyone at any time for any reason," a representative from the FDA tells TIME.

Unfortunately, if the FDA sergeants get their way, they'll win the war with help from Congress and the proposed Food Safety Modernization Act. Read the rest of this article

The Chicken Which Should be Banned

2010-11-09T09:18:00.000-08:00

by Dr. Mercola

Do you put dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent made of silicone, in your chicken dishes?

How about tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a chemical preservative so deadly that just five grams can kill you?

These are just two of the ingredients in a McDonalds Chicken McNugget. Only 50 percent of a McNugget is actually chicken. The other 50 percent includes corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and completely synthetic ingredients.

Organic Authority helpfully transcribed the full ingredients list provided by McDonalds:

"White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavoring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary).

Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), spices, wheat starch, whey, corn starch.

Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent."

Migraines Relieved by Spinal Manipulation

2010-11-01T09:04:00.000-07:00

Participants in a migraine research trial were reviewed for symptoms and clinical features and their response to manual therapy. The four selected cases of migraine responded dramatically to spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), with numerous self-reported symptoms either eliminated or substantially reduced.
Average frequency of episodes was reduced on average by 90%, duration of each episode by 38%, and use of medication by 94%. In addition, several associated symptoms were substantially reduced, including nausea, vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia. Each of the four cases is presented to assist practitioners in making a more informed prognosis.

The Path of an Adjustment

2010-10-12T09:34:00.000-07:00

Chiropractic treatment, known as a chiropractic adjustment, involves methods of restoring optimal mechanical function to spinal joints. When joint mobility is optimized, nerve impulses flow freely from the brain to the body and back from the body to the brain.

Normal nerve transmission allows all body systems to function normally. Cells receive their instructions on time and in the right amount. Information (feedback) from the cells likewise reaches the brain on time and without distortion. Cells and tissues do their jobs efficiently and effectively and the body expresses optimum health.

The channels of communication are open and information is freely transmitted back and forth. Thus, the layers of good health are in alignment. The body has a built-in healing mechanism. The job of the chiropractor is to enable that mechanism to work properly.

Lost Sleep Can Never Be Made Up!

2010-02-02T11:53:00.000-08:00

Staying in bed on weekends won't make up for weeks' worth of sleep deprivation. A new study finds that going long periods without sleep can lead to a sort of "sleep debt" that simply can not be undone with extra sleep.

Such chronic sleep lost may eventually interfere with a person's performance on tasks that require focus, becoming particularly noticeable at nighttime. This could be due to the effects of your natural sleep-wake cycle, or circadian rhythm.
