FoodMatters
This is now available in our lending library! Truly a MUST-SEE! I have mentioned how incredibly bad fast food is, how what we feed our children affects them for a lifetime, and the dangers of artificial sweeteners – a few individual problems with the food industry. This groundbreaking video shows the big picture, the “why” and “how” behind the problems. It also spreads the message of hope, and what it will take to manifest a change in today’s culture. Please come by our West Little Rock chiropractic clinic and let us show you how we can help you live a more natural and holistic lifestyle!
Dangers of Splenda
The artificial sweetener sucralose, more popularly known as Splenda, can damage your gut flora and contributes to the risk of weight gain and obesity.

Food Imprinting On Children And What You Need To Know
As your Little Rock chiropractor, we make it our mission to help you and your family achieve wellness through chiropractic, and keep you up to date on the latest wellness trends. One of the latest exciting health news trends involves food imprinting and how children learn to choose good foods based on what the mom eats during gestation, and what the child eats during the first 2 1/2 years.
In a recent article on Time.com, the ideas behind food imprinting are explained more in-depth, but what it boils down to is that a child can learn to make healthier eating choices if they experience a wider variety of healthy foods early in life. The article states that “the baby-food months are also a critical time for food imprinting. Experiencing a flavor about 10 times during this period can make children familiar enough with it to develop a preference for it later on…”
You should really read the full article on Time’s website if this has sparked your interest. I think it is extremely important to be mindful of the food we eat during all stages of our life, and this study shows how important it is that we be mindful of the things we feed our children. Not only will it help them stay healthy during their childhood, but it will help them make better, healthier eating decisions throughout their adult life!
The Disturbing Reality of Fast Food
Yet another reason to be cautious of fast food items has presented itself in this insightful article by Dr. Joseph Mercola, “What’s in Fast Food? What’s in the Non-Chicken Half of the McNugget” on www.huffingtonpost.com. The article reveals startling ingredients found in some of today’s fast food that can cause our body to become unbalanced and unhealthy. It doesn’t take Dr. Mercola long to catch your attention, starting the article with “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 just five grams can kill you?” Believe it or not, this is just the beginning of the astonishing revelations involving fast food many eat more than once a week.
When we put these harmful things in our body, we can only expect bad things to happen. We must be careful about the the food we eat, and the food we give our children, so we can ultimately live longer, happier lives. I have placed a link to the full article below and on my Facebook page, and I encourage you to read it and tell everyone you know about it. If you feel like you need to restore your body to a healthy, well-balanced state, consider coming by and checking out how our family chiropractic care, pediatric chiropractic care, and prenatal chiropractic care capabilities can help you.

Interesting Study on Giving Children Antibiotics for Ear Infections
There was an interesting study published recently that noted how ineffective antibiotics were at speeding a child’s recovery from ear infection. In a nutshell, the article stated that antibiotics helped only a small percentage of patients, while side effects were prone to affecting a larger percentage of children. The effect of the antibiotic medicine depends largely on the cause of the infection. While some ear infections are caused by bacteria, some are caused by a viral infection, which antibiotics will have no effect on.
The results of this study show how effective a healthy body can be at ridding itself of infections. I believe that our environment can introduce physical, chemical and emotional stresses that create an imbalance within our nervous system. Chiropractic care can help restore balance to the nervous system, allowing it to function optimally.
