Family Chiropractic - Weekly Health Tip July 6,

Dear patient and friend,
In the journals I read I often come
across new developments in the science of chiropractic. However, people like you never become aware
of these important ideas since the media reports so little of it.
Therefore I’ve taken yet upon myself to keep
you informed of crucial breakthroughs because I know how important they can be
to you, your family and friends. As your
doctor, I believe it’s part of my sacred trust.
So for your information and consideration, here
are these unique and revolutionary developments.
Calm Down Your Kids, Keep Away The Soda
What does soda have to do with your
child's aggressive behavior? Quite a lot, according to a new study.
Researchers recently found that children
who consumed soda tended to measure higher on scales
that measure aggressive behavior than kids who do not drink soda.
The study published by The Journal of
Pediatrics was cautious to blame soda entirely for aggressive behavior, but
it did make a connection.
Researchers used an existing study of
mothers and their 2,929 children from 20 large U.S. cities. The mothers and
children were first recruited between 1998 and 2000 to be periodically
interviewed and evaluated.
According to the study, mothers completed
a checklist on children's behaviors over the previous two months to measure
withdrawal, attention and aggression. The mothers were also asked how many
servings of soda their children drank per day and about other habits such as TV watching. Overall, 43 percent of the kids drank at least
one soda per day and 4 percent drank four or more
servings.
Aggressive behavior was measured on a
scale between 0 and 100 - with higher scores indicating more aggression. Kids
who reportedly drank no soda scored 56 on the aggression scale, on average.
That compared to 57 among kids who drank one serving per day, 58 among those
who drank two servings, 59 among those who drank three servings and 62 for four
soda servings or more per day. Researchers found that drinking two or four or
more servings of soda per day was tied to higher aggression scores. Overall,
kids who drank four or more servings of soda per day were twice as likely to
destroy other people's belongings, get into fights and physically attack
people, compared to children who didn't drink soda, according to the study.
Stick to healthy beverages for your child
such as water to stay hydrated. Water is all natural with no potential side
effects on behavior.

I first sought chiropractic care for both
neck and back problems. I had these
problems for years and they were at the high end of the severity scale. It was hard to turn my neck without pain. I previously had tried Tylenol but was not getting the
results I wanted. A friend recommended chiropractic care to me
and I had a very good first impression of Dr. Weber and his staff. My results
have been very beneficial to my overall health.

I first sought chiropractic care because
of back pain and pain into my left buttock that was
occurring 24/7. I had
tried biofreeze, magnetic belts and other
remedies with little effect. Unfortunately, chiropractic was my last
resort. I should have tired
it sooner. I have had a
very good experience with chiropractic care as my symptoms are managed
with periodic care. I would suggest
anyone suffering with pain give Dr. Weber try… he is good and he can suggest
stretching that will prolong treatments.
Count me in as a regular chiropractic patient.
