Recently, I have been hearing \u201chow do I get out of pain?\u201d and \u201chow do I stay healthy?\u201d commonly\u00a0coming from our prospective\/current practice members.\u00a0 As a structural chiropractor, my job is to locate the issue, assess how long it has been there and then give my clinical advice on how to correct it.\u00a0 Our office uses a \u201cmodern\u201d chiropractic program that addresses nutritional requirements at certain clinical reference points.\u00a0 The natural healing process designed by the body requires proper nutrients from day one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, the diets we consume aren’t nutrient-dense and are deficient in what is needed to fulfill certain functional processes at a cellular level.\u00a0 What we put into our bodies has to be nutrient-dense.\u00a0 For the final quarter of 2014, I have challenged my practice members to incorporate these simple \u201csuperfoods\u201d into their diet and I also challenge you to make these small changes as well.\u00a0 Listed below are just some simple and accessible nutrient-dense \u201csuperfoods\u201d that can increase the optimal function and overall health for you and your loved ones.<\/p>\n

Turmeric<\/span><\/strong>
\nThis anti-inflammatory spice has been used in my household for years because of its flavor and nutritional benefits.\u00a0 The golden color of turmeric is derived from curcumin, which has shown to help prevent cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s, decrease pain and increase overall blood circulation (protects against blood clotting).\u00a0 Using this spice in moderation everyday can increase our quality of life.<\/p>\n

Spirulina<\/strong>
\nThis blue-green fresh water algae is high in chlorophyll and is a great team player in helping to remove toxins from your blood.\u00a0 It also boosts your overall immune system function.\u00a0 During this time of the year, it\u2019s vital to facilitate our overall function and immune system as we get ready to welcome in 2015.<\/p>\n

Kale<\/strong>
\nKale is a great anti-oxidant and has shown to help with blood clotting.\u00a0 When purchasing kale, be sure to buy organic and support local farmers.\u00a0 I personally use this \u201csuperfood\u201d in my smoothies because it contains vitamins A, C, and K and helps me get through the day.<\/p>\n

Moringa Leaf<\/strong>
\nThis nutrient-dense \u201csuperfood\u201d hits a\u00a0home run\u00a0in my books.\u00a0 It has been called the \u201cmiracle\u201d leaf because of its capability to house essential amino acids and anti-oxidants.\u00a0 Our environment is changing day-to-day and we must protect ourselves to the toxins that we are exposed to on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n

Mint<\/strong>
\nMint is packed with a lot of benefits shown to increase our overall energy output along with helping depression.\u00a0 Mint also makes a great addition to water for those that need to change the taste. \u00a0Growing up in an East Indian household, this herb was accessible to me every day and was used to create chutney for our homemade dishes.<\/p>\n

Chia Seed<\/strong>
\nChia seeds have recently become a hot topic and are now displayed in every grocery store due to their nutrient content.\u00a0 This \u201csuperfood\u201d has omega fatty acids; they are full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.\u00a0 Chia seeds are a must have staple in your diet.\u00a0 High-level athletes have been utilizing this \u201csuperfood\u201d in their recovery drinks for years and have seen a huge change in their overall performance and day-to-day recovery.<\/p>\n

Taking the correct steps on a daily basis and understanding your body is the key to prevention and living a healthy lifestyle.\u00a0 Each day, you are making choices that affect your greatest asset, your overall ability to adapt to your environment.\u00a0 These \u201csuperfoods\u201d should be taken in moderation and for those that have specific dietary restrictions; a consult with your primary health care provider is needed before any changes are made.<\/p>\n
