Give Up Soft Drinks

A typical can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 empty calories and artificial colors, flavorings and preservatives. And all this from a beverage that has absolutely no redeeming nutritional value.

Consider what’s inside the typical soda can:

Phosphoric Acid. This common ingredient compromises your ability to use calcium, leading to osteoporosis and other bone disorders.

Corn Sweeteners. Sugar, in its various forms, raises insulin levels and can invite diabetes, weight gain, tooth decay and other adverse affects.

Artificial Sweeteners. Diet sodas with aspartame may be even worse. There are dozens of known health risks linked to this chemical which may intensify if the soda is stored for long periods or has been allowed to warm.

Caffeine. This nervous system stimulant is added to sodas to provide a drug-induced energy boost. Caffeine is an addictive substance that can produce a daily craving.

Pure water is a wiser choice. But if you feel compelled to drink a carbonated beverage, consider sparkling mineral water with some lemon juice.

Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Fulton chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
Can a chiropractor heal?
There's never been a case in which a doctor (chiropractor or otherwise) has formed scar tissue, mended a broken bone or cured a headache. Only you can do that. Turns out you're the doctor! All I do is help remove interferences to your body's healing ability. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
