Having a family history of diabetes, being overweight or obese, and lack of physical activity all figure into type 2 diabetes risk. Now we can add eating patterns—how many times per day a person eats, snacking habits, and eating breakfast—as something to address to lower our own diabetes risk.

Mosquito’s Malaria and your Health

Dr. Chris Barras — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:59:40 +0000

I found out an interesting fact today. In Africa where mosquitoes are rampant and malaria is a real threat to health and life the cheapest prevention is a $6 mosquito net to cover the sleeping area. Sadly, though, unless the nets are given out to the people, virtually no one buys one.

The saddest part, however, is that once someone contracts malaria, the family will pay almost any cost to get the medication and treatment to combat the disease!

Who would put off prevention and deal with the huge cost of treating the disease? You already know who….almost everyone!

Don’t wait til you are sick, hurting or unable to perform your favorite activity to work on your health.

Chiropractic can help you.

Enjoy better performance on the job or at the gym
Discover a more responsive body
Enjoy a better flow of energy
Experience a reduction of the effects of stress unlike any that you’ve experienced before
Enhance your immunity and the immunity of your family

Which of these benefits do you want?

Come in this week and I’ll show you where your health is and show you how to improve it and keep it!
