Did You Know This About McDonald’s Cheeseburgers?

July 11, 2009

A former engineer, turned chiropractic student, shared this video on his blog recently. I’d like to duplicate this experiment to see if the results are universal.

The golden french fry on the left is older than the rotten black french fry on the right. Guess which one is from McDonald’s…

Julia Havey is an obesity activist and motivational speaker. She’s been holding onto a McDonald’s cheeseburger and fries for almost 4-years, and asks the poignant question, “Why are our kids eating this?”

This video is definitely worth watching!


What is Body Imbalance?

July 9, 2009

The image below depicts a structural imbalance in the body resulting from upper cervical misalignment.

You might be surprised to learn that many cases of shoulder, back and pelvic pain are actually caused by a problem in the neck!

In an attempt to keep the eyes level with the horizon, your spine will bend, twist, and adapt as much as necessary.

Here’s what I want you to remember… If head/neck misalignment caused your pain sensations to develop, but you only address the other body parts that hurt, the problem will never go away.


Do You Want to be Average?

July 8, 2009

The Average American…

… Watches 4-hours of TV per day and sees 30,000 commercials per year

… Body contains residues of at least 13 different pesticides

… Gains 7-10 lbs during the holidays

Over the Course of ONE Year, the Average American Eats

… 30 lbs of cheese; 22 lbs of ice cream

… 135 lbs of white/wheat breads, cereals, pancakes, cakes & cookies

… 19 lbs of rice; 11 lbs of pasta

… 78 lbs of added fats & oils due to food processing

… 35 lbs of cooking oil; 35 lbs of butter & margarine

… 152 lbs of added sugar; 587 cans of soda

… 111 lbs of red meat; 83 lbs of poultry & seafood

… 27 gallons of coffee; 28 gallons of beer

The Average American Also…

… Dies of heart disease, cancer, or errors from the medical system

… Is overweight or obese (60% of the population)

… Takes 4 medications per day by the time they reach 65

The point of this compilation of statistics is to teach you that if you want to live (and die) like everyone else, just do what they do! Medical research suggests that we should be able to live up to 120 healthy years… yet the average American lifestyle is a recipe for an early demise.

Look at your life compared to the average. Maybe it’s time to make a few changes?
