Why Carbs Are Important to Fuel our Brains

There has been so much literature on the news and in the papers about carbohydrates. Some say they are bad, some say they are good, but all they are really doing is confusing us all. What is the truth about carbs and how does it affect the brain?

 

Have you ever felt sluggish, foggy-headed, confused or irritable? All of these conditions can be attributed to a brain that doesn’t have enough power to work well. Brain power is not just important to do school work or your job, but also to help your body to function as it should. After all, the brain controls much of the functioning of the human body.

 

So, here are a few facts to digest. The body uses carbohydrates for fuel. The brain needs a lot of fuel. Actually, it needs about twice as much energy as the rest of your body. That energy comes from carbs being used to maintain certain levels of glucose in the blood. It is the glucose that is used by the body as fuel.

 

So, where do these carbs come from? They come from food sources. You get carbs from whole grains, a variety of vegetables and anything made from grains.

 

You can get carbs from a candy bar and also from a plate of leafy green vegetables, but they won't necessarily function the same way in the body. Simple carbs are like the sugars found in sweet snacks. These carbs are rapidly absorbed by the body which leads to a spike in your blood sugar.

 

We’ve all experienced such a spike. For about an hour you feel like the Bionic Man but afterwards, you are moving slower than a turtle. To get more energy you eat more sweets and then the cycle begins again.

 

When you get your carbs from healthier food sources like green vegetables and whole grains, you are eating complex carbohydrates. This includes your whole grains, vegetables and fruits. These carbohydrates are broken down over time, keeping your glucose levels steady so the body gets a constant supply of energy throughout the day.

 

The way to break that cycle is by eating the right types of carbohydrates. Oh, yes, there are right and not-so-right types of carbs. One way that you can tell the difference is by the glycemic index. This measures the ability of a carbohydrate to affect the blood sugar. Carbs that are low on the glycemic index are complex carbs. Those that are higher are simple carbs that will cause major shifts in the blood sugar levels and your energy.

 

Many fad diets advocate high carb or low carb consumption. The fact of the matter is that if you don’t eat enough carbs in your daily diet, your body your body will start using muscle to create glucose and depleting the liver of its glycogen (broken down into glucose).

 

When the brain is deprived, you may feel lack of co-ordination, dizzy, tired and not in a good mood. Eat your carbohydrates every day, just make sure they are the best kind to keep your brain sharp as cheddar and the body is tiptop shape.  

 

Remember it all about balance. Your body is always trying to remain in balance.

US Researchers Find New Clue to Infant Deaths

By Reuters - Tue Feb 2, 3:07 PM PST

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Babies who die from sudden infant death syndrome make low amounts of the message-carrying brain chemical serotonin needed to regulate sleep, breathing and heart rate, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

The finding, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, may help identify babies at risk for SIDS, which each year kills more than 2,300 babies before their first birthday.

They said abnormal levels of serotonin may hamper an infant's breathing, especially in challenging situations, such as breathing in too much exhaled carbon dioxide while sleeping face down.

"We have known for many years that placing infants to sleep on their backs is the single most effective way to reduce the risk of SIDS," Dr. Alan Guttmacher, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which funded the study.

"The current findings provide important clues to the biological basis of SIDS and may ultimately lead to ways to identify infants most at risk as well as additional strategies for reducing the risk of SIDS for all infants," Guttmacher said in a statement.

In the study, Dr. Hannah Kinney of Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston and colleagues examined brain tissue from babies who died from SIDS and from other causes.

The tissue came from the medulla, a region at the base of the brain that regulates basic functions such as body temperature, breathing, blood pressure and heart rate.

Kinney's team found that serotonin levels were 26 percent lower in tissue from babies who died of SIDS than those who died from other causes, and they also found low levels of the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, which is needed to make serotonin.

VULNERABLE BABIES

The findings suggest that some babies have an underlying vulnerability to SIDS, which can become fatal when combined with an external stress such as sleeping face down, especially when it occurs within the first year of life.

"Our research suggests that sleep unmasks the brain defect," Kinney said in a statement.

"When the infant is breathing in the face-down position, he or she may not get enough oxygen. An infant with a normal brain stem would turn his or her head and wake up in response. But a baby with an intrinsic abnormality is unable to respond to the stressor."

The team hopes the study will lead to a test that measures a baby's serotonin levels, making it possible to identify children at highest risk for SIDS

Rates of sudden infant death syndrome, also known as cot death or crib death, have plummeted in countries where health workers have counseled parents and caregivers to put infants on their backs to sleep, to avoid keeping rooms too warm and to keep loose blankets and pillows away from infants.

DR ARVAY COMMENTS:

This just shows why EVERY BABY MUST HAVE THEIR SPINES CHECK FOR BIRTH INDUCED SUBLUXATION! Today's modern birth protocols do not take into consideration the newborn spine.  Dr. Gutman MD showed that 80% of all children under the age of 1 have subluxation of the first cervical bone (C1) in the neck. When this bone gets twisted on during the birth process and then is left uncorrected, as the baby sleeps on it's side with the neck turned even farther for 4 to 8 hours at a time. This twisting of the C1 bone chokes off the nerve supply to the breathing system. This choking shuts down the brains messages to the breathing system and induces possibility of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This is why EVERY NEW BORN MUST BE CHECK FOR BRITH INDUCED SUBLUXATION OF THE C1 BONE. We have special computers that can check for this kind of trauma. Who do you know that has had a baby in the last 24 months? Give them this article and bring them in to get the baby C1 spinal bone checked. Its simple, easy and FREE as our community service to helping put an end to SIDS!

Today’s Chiropractic care help WHAT???

Often you hear complaints from “authorities” that chiropractic doesn’t have any valid documentation. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here are many examples.

 

Blood Pressure

Yates RG, Lamping, DL, Abram NL, Wright C: Effects of chiropractic treatment on blood pressure and anxiety: a randomized, controlled trial. JMPT 1988; 11(6):484, 21 hypertensive patients. T1-T5 adjustments. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in the adjusted group, but not in the placebo and control groups.

 

Vision Problems

Terrett AGJ, Gorman RF: the eye, the cervical spine, and spinal manipulative therapy: a review of the literature. Chiropractic Technique 1995; 7(2):43. Gilman G, Bergstrand J: Visual recovery following chiropractic intervention. Journal of Behavioral Optometry 1990: 1(3):3. Gorman RF: The treatment of presumptive optic nerve ischemia by spinal manipulation. JMPT 1995; 18(3): 172. Gorman RF: Monocular vision loss after closed head trauma: immediate resolution associated with spinal manipulation. JMPT 1995; 18(5):308.

 

Ulcers

Pikalov AA, Kharin VV: Use of spinal manipulative therapy in the treatment of duodenal ulcer: a pilot study. JMPT 1994: 17(5):310. 11 ulcer patients received chiropractic care. They were compared to 24 cases treated medically. The chiropractic group experienced remission demonstrated endoscopically, and pain relief an average of 10days earlier than traditional care.

Infantile Colic

Klougart N, Nilsson N, Jacobsen J: Infantile colic treated by

chiropractors: a prospective study of 316 cases. JMPT 1989;

12(4):281. A satisfactory result occurred within two weeks in 94%if cases receiving chiropractic care.

 

HIV

Selano JL, Hightower BC, Pfleger B et al: The effects of specific upper cervical adjustments on the CD4 counts of HIV positive patients. Chiropractic Research Journal 1994; 3(1):32. Over the six month period of the study, the control group experienced a 7.96% decrease in CD4 counts, while the adjusted group experienced a 48% increase in CD4 cell counts over the same period.

 

Nerve Root Compression

Sharpless, SK: Susceptibility of Spinal Roots to Compression Block. NINCDS Monograph 15, DHEW publication (NIH) 76-998, 1975, pages 155-161. A pressure of only 10 mm Hg produced a significant compression block, the potential falling to 60% of its initial value in 15 minutes, and to half its initial value in 30 minutes. After such a small compressive force is removed, nearly complete recovery occurs in 15 to 30 minutes. With higher levels of pressure, we have observed incomplete recovery after many hours of recording. Konno S, Olmarker K, Byrod G et al: Intermittent cauda equine compression. Spine 1995; 20(1):1223.

Compression of the nerve roots of the cauda equina with as little as 10 mm Hg resulted in decreased action potentials.

Rydevik BL: The Effects of Compression on the Physiology of Nerve Roots. JMPT January 1992; 15(1), pages 62-66.

Venous blood flow to spinal roots was blocked with 5-10 mm Hg of pressure. The resultant retrograde venous stasis due to venous congestion is suggested as a significant cause of nerve root compression. Impairment of nutrient flow to spinal nerves is present with similar low pressure.

 

Dysmenorrhea

Kokjohn K, Schmid DM, Triano JJ, Brennan PC: The effect of spinal manipulation on pain and prostoglandin levels in women with primary dysmenorrhea. JMPT 1992; 15(5):279. 45 Subjects. Experimental and “sham” control group.

Conclusion: SMT may be an effective and safe

nonpharmacological alternative for relieving the pain and distress of primary dysmenorrhea.

 

Pain

Hause M: Pain and the nerve root. Spine 1993: 18(14): 2053. Nerve root compression can exist without pain. Mechanical changes lead to circulatory changes. Inflammatogenic agents may cause chemical radiculitis. There may be disturbed CSF flow. The influence of the sympathetic system may result in synaptic sensitization of the CNS and peripheral nerves, creating a “vicious cycle.”

Wall EJ, Massie JB, Kwan MK, Rydevik BL, Myers RR, Garfin SR: Experimental stretch neuropathy. Changes in nerve conduction tension. J Bone Joint Surg Br January 1992; 74(1), pages 126-129. At 6% strain, the amplitude of the action potential had decreased by 70% at one hour and returned to normal during the recovery period. At 12% strain, conduction was completely blocked by one hour, and showed minimal recovery.

Dwight Freeney: Superbowl hopeful, using chiropractic to heal ankle

Dwight Freeney's ankle injury is a major story leading into this weekend's superbowl. Though the Colts have kept their cards close to the chest on the whole matter, some details have leaked as to what they are doing to treat the issue.

We do know that the Colts are very active with their treatments and Freeney is using some methods that have helped him in the past. The main one is Dr. Leon Mellman, Freeney's Chiropractor, is making sure not only his ankle is getting the proper care, but is also monitoring how his newly guarded walk is effecting the rest of his body. Most notably how his lower back could be adversely affected due to his newly acquired limp.

Freeney's injury is being treated as any other low ankle sprain would be in the NFL with some minor tweaks. Although he was seen in a boot very recently, he spoke openly about keeping the motion in the ankle joint to promote healing. Very recently this became common place in joint surgeries; where immediately following the surgery, the joint is put into passive motion to prevent adhesion buildup and promote a quicker recovery. Freeney was spotted walking the beach without his boot on, most likely advised by team doctors for the same reason: a quicker recovery. Reported by Houston Sports Medicine ExaminerJohn Cybulsk

Product of the week: Wuji chorella

Wuji Chlorella is a Whole Food and is one of the most exciting nutritional discoveries on the planet. As you learn more about the nutritional benefits of Wuji Chorella™, you will want to incorporate it into your diet, as well, as your family and friends. Today more than ever, the American diet is shockingly devoid of ‘whole’, 'pure’, and ‘natural’ foods. Kids go to school with donuts and sodas! Moms and Dads grab a drive-thru coffee! Is it no wonder that this country is 37th on the list of ‘healthy countries’?? Get some it is awesome. $19.95 for 400 capsules.

What does brown grass and green grass need? WATER!

The BROWN grass needs it to restore and grow back to its normal and healthy state. The GREEN grass needs it to stay strong, green and healthy. If you don't keep the water getting to the grass, its only choice is to respond to the lack of water by shutting down and going dead. This is a process and does not happen over night but it is a natural process that must take place because of the natural laws of life. It's the natural laws of supply and demand.

I love that it is a natural law of life because if I live in alignment with this law and I do my part in watering the grass I have every reason to expect a green lawn.

When you live with the natural laws of life you get health and healing. When you make choices that are out of alignment with the natural laws of life the consequences are sickness, disease and early death. God cannot make grass green with out water, He won't break His own natural laws that He created to keep order on this planet.

God needs no help running your life and body. He just can't have you and I interfering with it. He put an amazing power in our bodies and it's job is to feed power and life to every cell, organ, muscle and emotion in our body. Give your body 100% supply of power and it knows how to keep you strong and healthy for life. Neglect it and stop following the 5 essentials of Maximized Living, and just like shutting the water down to the grass, you are shutting down the power to every part of YOU.

REHABILITATION THAT CAN PREDICTIBLY REGENERATE THE SPINE

     A review of the published literature indicates that the upright adult spine loses up to 20 mm (5/8 to ¾ inch) of vertical height each day due to loss of fluid from the disc.  The sleep cycle allows the unloaded discs to regain most, but not all, of their fluid and height by the re-absorption of fluid surrounding the discs (Kapandji, 1974).  Since all the fluid and disc height is not regained, the spine becomes shorter starting around the age of thirty.  It is common to lose up to two inches of stature by age 60 due to loss of disc fluid.  In addition, loss of disc fluid and height compromise spinal form and function with lateral and rotatory postural deviations of the hips and shoulders (Kapandji, 1974). 

    The discs are comprised of 88% water.(did you drink some??)  Proper hydration is essential for nourishment, lubrication and function of all joint cartilages, tendons, ligaments and spinal discs’ nutrition delivery and waste elimination.  When the body dehydrates it pulls water out of the “white tissues” first, meaning the ligaments and tendons of the body (i.e. vertebral discs).  If the body continues to dehydrate the body will pull water out of the organs next, eventually the brain and then you will die.  A loss of only 12% of the water out of the disc will reduce the disc height by 50%.   (DOyour home care)     Surprisingly, the loss of 1mm of height in a cervical disc and 1.4 mm loss of height in the lumbar disc will cause the same amount of neurological compression and IVF (inter vertebral foramen – the hole the spinal nerves come out) encroachment equal to an 8 degree rotation.  (It takes a 3 degree rotation to cause IVF encroachment and neurological compromise).  So you can see that it doesn’t take much water loss in the body to start affecting your discs and the function of your nervous system.   

How does the water get lost?  At age 12 to 14 years of age the spinal discs’ blood nutrition supply and waste elimination system atrophies.  That means that the discs will have to receive its’ necessary water, nutrients and waste elimination from osmosis and imbibition (intersegmental motion of the spinal vertebrae that pump fluids, nutrients and waste in and out of the discs).  This becomes a challenge because as people get older they may become more sedentary; develop advancing spinal and postural degenerative conditions and ultimately loss of the intersegmental motion of their spine.  Once they lose this motion the discs quickly dehydrate and lose height.  This leads to IVF encroachment, chronic pain syndromes, soon to advance to visceral and organic conditions leading to disease. 

Absolute Life Chiropractic’s purpose is to detect levels of disc degeneration, correct spinal displacements that are causing IVF encroachment thus allowing the nervous system to function optimally and keep the body healthy. Until recently it had been thought that once a disc was degenerated and lost height that it could not be restored.  It had also been thought that loss of disc height could not be prevented. These assumptions are no longer true.      Can the intervertebral discs re-hydrate/regenerate?  The discs need 3 things to regenerate: 1. motion 2.water 3.nutrients 

   Let’s look at the first 2 for now.  Research has shown that if we can create loading and unloading cycles in the spine then we can literally “suck” water back into the disc and re-hydrate it predictably.  So what are loading and unloading cycles?     Loading and unloading cycles are consecutive alternating compression and traction movements.  Repetitive traction (elongation) followed by compression of the discs produce “imbibition and osmosis” of water into the disc re-hydrating or regenerating the disc height. In addition to disc re-hydration, the loading and unloading cycles reduce up to 95% of the elastic energy in the spine.  The soft tissues have an inherent elastic, rebound energy and reflexes that return the body to its original position after a trauma.  This elastic energy must be reduced if we are to achieve spinal correction.  The loading and unloading cycles that reduce the elastic energy of the body is called “hysteresis.”  

     Hysteresis is essential for spinal correction because the structure of the spine is controlled by the soft tissues, the shape of the discs.  The discs are like hard Jell-o.  They have a lot of tensile strength, and a lot of rebound, elastic energy.  When a force is applied to the spine to change the structure the elastic properties will rebound against that force and the hard Jell-o consistency of the disc will continue to maintain the current spinal structure.  Hysteresis, repetitive traction and compression cycles, liquefies the Jell-o like consistency, reduces the rebound energy by up to 95%, reduces muscle spasm to help the doctor achieve and easier adjustment as well as re-hydrating the disc.  When the spine is “soft” it is easier to mold the spine into a new structure.  The newly “liquefied disc will require 16-20 minutes to harden like Jell-o again.  Once the spine is adjusted and the structure is corrected the spine can be molded and “hardened” into its’ new structure.  For this reason, Pre-adjustment warm ups become essential for spinal correction and regeneration.  The Pettibon System we use is the only system that can do this predictably.  For the benefits of loading and unloading cycles check this blog post our at http://absolutelifechiropractic.typepad.com

 

 

 

1.         The avascular discs ligaments and tendons are nourished and metabolic wastes are eliminated.

2.         The visco-elastic properties of the discs, ligaments and tendons that hold the vertebral units out of their normal position are progressively less resistant to spinal corrective adjusting.

3.         Up to 95% of the force needed to adjust/manipulate is reduced by these repetitive cycles.

4.         Re-hydrate the disc and increase disc height.

5.         Increase disc and tendon strength.

6.         Decrease potential for injury or severity of injury from sudden applied forces.

7.         Lubrication for spinal joints and nourishment for their cartilage.

8.         Prevention of adhesions during healing and improved joint integrity of healed joints.

9.         Development for “core” basis for further strength, endurance and agility training.

10.     Rehabilitative exercise is and extremely valuable tool to aid the doctor in management in both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
