Remember Your Magnesium

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 diarrhea. 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. [Among] them, the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation-functions that directly relate to the effectiveness of your chiropractic care.

Dr. John Asks some important questions of interest to Pittsburgh residents - Chiropractor Pittsburgh Dr. John Asks...

What controls every cell, tissue and organ of your body?
DNA? Wrong. Immune system? Wrong? Hormones? Wrong. It's your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body. When a chiropractor sees a Pittsburgh patient with say, stomach problems, we want to know why the brain is unable to properly control and regulate the stomach. Which prompts us to examine the nervous system—the focus of chiropractic care.
What is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Pittsburgh chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Pittsburgh adults.
