How to Buy Bread

If you include bread in your diet, here are some things to consider when shopping:

Bread
  1. Look for bread made from whole grains, especially those with sprouted grains, which offer more naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and fiber.

  2. Avoid breads made from enriched white flour. Processing of most flours involves heat and bleach which destroy vital nutrients of the grain.

  3. Find breads without preservatives. Search the freezer section for products that are wholesome and avoid additives in an attempt to extend shelf life.

Like any change, making healthier choices means developing new tastes and new habits. Visit your local health food store. Make it an adventure and give yourself time to appreciate the subtle flavors.

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Green Brook office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
