There are many essential benefits of vitamins and minerals:

Most of you are deficient and then run to take man made, toxic vitamins from the stores like centrum, one a day, gnc brands or others from grocery stores or vitamin shops. Many times these are causing further health issues.
Eg… most Vitamin C are synthetic ascorbic acid by mixing high fructose corn syrup with HCL (hydrochloric acid) which is extremely toxic.

Some people think they eat healthy and get enough from the foods you eat. This is furthest thing from the truth as the foods are nutrient deficient and many times your guts are unhealthy, therefore not breaking down the foods to the elements it needs to absorb. One study I read says you would have to eat around 25,000 calories a day of natural, raw foods to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

It’s important to take a whole food plant based multivitamin so the body first of all can recognize the Vitamin then actually break down and get the benefits. In my book, The Next Health Revolution – A Natural Path to Revive Your Health and Maximize Wellness, I discuss how important it is to supplement with natural formulas to provide your body with what it needs.

To Improve Health We Must Find a Cause to Correct It

Many people are looking to improve health. They are suffering with pain or have other types of symptoms like low energy, high blood pressure, headaches, fibromyalgia, can’t sleep, stiffness, tight muscles, digestive issues, allergies, PMS, the list goes on and on. Most treatments are based on taking a pill that masks any of those symptoms. But there is a better way to improve health!

Our top rated Chiropractor in Freehold NJ discusses to correct your problem we must find the cause. Watch this short video:

We take a different approach to health and wellness. We do a complete, thorough exam starting with a computerized test that shows where there are imbalances in your nervous system. Your nervous system controls all functions of your body. If there are misalignments in your spine called subluxations, it interferes with the messages going from your brain to ever muscle, organ, tissue and cell in your body. This causes disease and dysfunction.

We do a state of the art computerized test that helps find the cause to improve health of a patient.

Once we see your imbalances, we look for the cause with orthopedic and chiropractic tests. Checking your range of motions in the neck and back tell us if the joints aren’t moving properly. The other tests help show if you have disc problems, nerve problems, muscle imbalances, tight muscles, problems with the ankles, feet, knees and hips.

After we complete these tests we can then work to correct each imbalance to correct your symptoms! Your health issues and pains didn’t occur overnight. They will take time to correct. Balancing your spinal joints and supporting tissues is like a person getting braces to straighten the teeth. IT TAKES TIME! If you remove the braces too soon, the teeth will go back out of alignment. If you don’t complete a corrective treatment plan, the symptoms will return.

So, don’t base your treatment and health on the symptoms only. Symptomatic relief is only temporary and if it’s with medication can cause harmful side effects. Chiropractors evaluate patients to find the cause to get results that most other practitioners fail to deliver.

Freehold NJ Chiropractor Reviews How Stress Affects Your Health and Body

Do you experience stress? Do you know how stress affects your body? Do you know stress comes in multiple forms: physical or trauma, chemical and mental?

Stress is listed by the American Medical Association as the leading basic cause of more than 60% of all illness and disease. It is known to be the cause of many illnesses and symptoms ranging from high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, anxiety, ADD or ADHD, digestive problems like Chron’s, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and acid reflux, immune deficiency, allergies, headaches, musculoskeletal disorders, fibromyalgia, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, breathing problems and much more.

Stress can also lead to many addictions like smoking and alcohol and even lead to suicide.

Many people reach for different medications to fight many of these conditions and symptoms that result from stress. Unfortunately most don’t realize the drugs are just covering up the symptoms and resulting in other symptoms due to side effects. This is a vicious cycle currently used by most medical doctors in treating their patients.

Chiropractic takes a natural approach at addressing the cause of all of these conditions: STRESS!

The nervous system coordinates all functions of the body and when under stress, the body has a difficult time regulating the organs, tissues and cells of the body. The best method of correcting the problem is addressing the nervous system to bring it back to balance. This is what chiropractic does for you!

Chiropractors work with your nervous system because it is like a circuit breaker system through which the spinal cord and nerves send their messages. Messages from the brain go to all parts of your body via the spinal cord and at every level of your spine between the vertebra, nerves go to their destination either a muscle, organ or other tissue of the body. If the messages from the brain are uninterrupted, the body can handle stress more easily and function optimally to bring you natural health and wellness. But due to the different daily stresses we experience from birth til death, the spinal bones that protect the nervous system can move out of place therefore interfering with the nerve messages and causing dysfunction, disease and symptoms.

Chiropractors detect and correct the misalignments (subluxations) of the spine by adjusting the vertebra to remove the nerve irritation which helps release muscular tension, increase circulation and improve function of the body.

Everybody experiences stress! You have to learn to manage stress including exercise, proper nutrition, do activities you enjoy, meditate, get adequate sleep and most importantly get your spine checked and adjusted by a chiropractor. Don’t wait for symptoms like headaches, digestive problems, daily aches and pains, high blood pressure, weight gain or other issues to show up as the symptoms are the last sign to show up. Prevention and maintenance with chiropractic care helps keep stress at bay and your body functioning optimally to maintain your health and wellness so you can enjoy your family and normal daily activities.

In our Freehold NJ office, Hometown Family Wellness Center, we take a multi-pronged natural approach to reducing your stress and improving your health naturally. Freehold NJ Chiropractor reviews stress with state of the art technology we will measure how your nervous system is functioning, what sensitivities you are experiencing due to stressors, and analyze how your adrenal glands are functioning. Your adrenal glads are also called the stress glands as they regulate the 4 main hormones that help the body deal with stress.
