New Diet and Exercise Guidelines
Gary Peters, D.C.
 The federal government issued new dietary guidelines for Americans in January. Finally, the conventional medical paradigm may be indeed GETTING IT in terms of the amount of daily exercise one needs to lose weight, according to the revised Dietary Guidelines for Americans along with a new Food Pyramid unveiled yesterday. Now, they recommend allotting 60-90 minutes EACH DAY to exercise. That's a smart move, considering the key factor in building optimal health in people who have insulin resistance and need to lose weight is a 90-minute "dose" of exercise daily! Most of the two-thirds of the country who are overweight and tens of millions of others with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, desperately need more exercise to revitalize their health. In fact, unlike typical commercial drugs, exercise can actually cause one to go into permanent remission for diabetes. Other highlights of the new standards:
- Lowering your intake of trans fats as much as possible.
- Cutting back on sugar.
- Increasing your daily intake of fruits and vegetables to 5-13 servings.
- Eat fiber-rich whole fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
- Exercise 30-90 minutes every day.

Reminder that it might be time for you to get your spine checked. It is important to let LIFE flow from your BRAIN to your BODY, free from SUBLUXATIONs. FYI, I sometimes include articles that are less natural than I practice for information!

Consider this your monthly reminder to consider chiropractic for yourself and family this month. It's easy to unsubscribe by hitting unsubscribe at the bottom of the email if you feel you need to or if I put you on the list by mistake.
Thanks, Dr Rick
About Our Practice
860 561-LIFE (5433) Traditionally, Chiropractic is all about allowing LIFE to flow from the Brain to the Body without any choking, or squeezing on the brainstem and spinal cord by vertebral subluxation. This is not a little pinched nerve we are talking about. These are the ones that won't go away on their own in a day or a week. These are the ones that will choke the life out of you for years and affect the ability of you and your loved ones to live a healthy life. I still like this explanation! It tells you that your spine is important and effects so much that your spine needs to be clear of any interference to movement and nerve flow for you to be your best, happiest, healthiest you! You can need a chiropractor without symptoms and you should get checked even if you have no symptoms. Still, most people reading this already know they should hurry up and find some help so they can get back on the road to health!
