Magnificent Magnesium

Diet and nutrition image

With all the attention the media has given to osteoporosis and the importance of getting enough calcium, they've overlooked its relationship to magnesium. The body keeps these two minerals in balance. When you increase one without the other, your body simply disposes of the excess.

Experts at the Cornell Medical Center observe that 60-70 percent of American women are magnesium deficient. However, they warn that it is important that calcium/magnesium levels don't get too high. Elevated levels can lead to uncomfortable gastrointestinal issues. Whole-grain breads, fortified cereals, leafy vegetables, kale, broccoli, tofu, soybeans, low-fat cheese, milk and yogurt are good choices when trying to achieve a proper balance.

In addition to maintaining healthy teeth and bones, calcium has a number of other functions. One of them, is the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation, which are all functions that directly relate to the effectiveness of your chiropractic care.

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Yuba City chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
