TAKE TIME TO LAUGH
HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!!... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?A:
Are you crazy? HELLO ..... Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

MIRACLES OR EXPECTATIONS?
What is a miracle? Larry Dossey, M.D. explores this question in a recent article available at our office titled "Canceled Funerals: A Look at Miracle Cures". Dr. Dossey asks some good questions including, "Do miracles really happen?" He states, "It depends of course, on what we mean by a miracle. Hard-core materialists believe the idea of a miracle is absurd. Other individuals, however, believe that the laws of nature are not absolute; they can be suspended temporarily, permitting miracles to happen. And in any case, they say, because our knowledge of nature's laws is certain to be incomplete, we should be cautious in declaring what can and cannot happen."
Whether miracles occur or not is a personal opinion. However, I totally agree with the concept of our awareness of nature's or the body's ability being incomplete. In my 24 years of being a Chiropractor I've witnessed things that seemed impossible; beyond the limitations of science, time and matter. What this has taught me is to be humble, respectful and non-judgmental when it comes to a persons innate healing potential. Far be it form me to put a limit on what your body is capable of. I would like you to share that belief in the simple way of expanding the possibilities of what your body can do when it's healthy. Beginning in 1895 the Chiropractic principle has stressed the idea of a universal intelligence at work within you, striving to maintain life. This concept is even more valuable today because we tend to look outside of our body for answers to better health. We have reversed the concept of gaining knowledge for the 'tree of life' and instead look to the tree of knowledge to learn about life. You decide: Life comes form knowledge or knowledge comes from life. Are you ready to expect a miracle?
