How Taking Probiotics Can Help Lower High Cholesterol

Posted on by

How Taking Probiotics Can Help Lower High CholesterolCholesterol is a major concern across the developed world. In the United States about 40 million Americans suffer from high cholesterol. Apart from the general health deterioration that cholesterol triggers, it is extremely undesirable for cardiovascular health. People with high cholesterol are at a heightened risk of suffering cardiac arrests and other health problems.

In several studies conducted in the US, Spain and other countries, probiotics have shown remarkable efficacy in lowering high cholesterol. Probiotics are healthy bacteria which are found in the human intestines that are crucial for the immune system and several other functions. Since there is a limit to the quantum of healthy live probiotics that can be found in the guts, it is advisable to take foods or supplements that are good sources of probiotics.

Now, the primary question is how probiotics can help lower high cholesterol. It has to be noted that cholesterol in itself is not bad for health. There is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Cholesterol is necessary for several bodily functions including hormonal secretions and generation of vitamin D. It is only when cholesterol doesn’t get metabolized and absorbed by the body in various forms that high cholesterol develops. In such cases, the cholesterol remains in the blood without being used up or absorbed by the body. The presence of high cholesterol in the blood can lead to artery blockage, inflammation at various junctures and eventually leads to high blood pressure, stress, anxiety, obesity, higher blood sugar levels and also cardiac problems.

Probiotics, when consumed on a regular basis, can metabolize this cholesterol in the blood. It allows the body to use up the cholesterol and then absorb the nutrients which are necessary for the body. Experts have commended the findings since high cholesterol drugs eliminate cholesterol in its entirety which is not desirable. The absence of cholesterol in the body would invariably lead to poor health. Probiotics simply work on the level of high cholesterol, prevent building up of bad cholesterol and reduces existing levels of high cholesterol.

The numerous studies conducted across the world include Mari Fuentes and her team’s research at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Moncloa Hospital and Torrelodones University Hospital, all in Spain, the Metabolic Research Group, VA Medical Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington and medical studies at the Shinshu University in Japan. Similar findings have been published in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition and by J. Martoni, Ph.D. and Satya Prakash, Ph.D. in American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2012.

Why Do People Get Massage Therapy?

Why Do People Get Massage TherapyWe can all agree that there’s nothing more relaxing after a few months of stressful work or personal obligations than a thorough full-body massage. It’s a feeling that’s hard to explain when you can literally feel the stress being wicked away from your back, shoulders, or legs.

Lactic acid is responsible for pain and stiffness in muscles or joints, and can be brought upon by stress and other factors. Massage therapy can be sought out for a myriad of conditions such as back pain, arthritis, tendinitis, stress, headaches, muscle spasms and strains, circulatory problems, and even post-surgical rehabilitation. The bottom line is that massage therapy can help you recover after a difficult day, week, month, or year of exertion on your body; improving functions, helping clear skin, and improving blood flow.

Massage therapy has been around for thousands of years dating back to the periods of Chinese, Hindus, and Persians; all praised the healing abilities of applying friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, there are more than 250 variations of massage therapies that are all used to attain positive results. Kneading, tapping, vibration, and friction are some of the methods employed to get results, and oils and or other materials might be needed as well. There are a lot of different strategies that are used to combat different ailments, so when considering massage therapy, talk to your therapist about some of the things you’re experiencing and your therapist will be able to take care of it.

The stresses of everyday life can be difficult to handle, and many times these leads to disease and illness after taking care of one’s body become less and less important. Massage therapy is a popular and trusted method to take care of some of those ailments that pop up due to stress, and can be a great way to treat other conditions as well.

I would highly recommend chiropractic for colic, stress and back pain

Posted on by

I first came across Abbey Chiropractic in the Ilac centre where I received a free spinal check, I was recommended to see the doctor firstly due to back pain.

The treatment I have received in the clinic was very relaxing and it has given me my comfort back with my body. I have more energy and feel taller and stretched out, and of course the pain I had is now gone.

I would highly recommend chiropractic to my friends for colic, stress and back pain…

I found it really helped me and the staff are very nice and helpful.

Thank you so much!

A chiropractor can help with your pregnancy related pain

Posted on by

A chiropractor can help with your pregnancy related painDealing with the pain and burden of having a child is one of the most daunting tasks a woman will face in her life: carrying the weight of the child wreaks havoc on a woman’s posture, and can create painful and uncomfortable pressure on joints, in some cases leading to excruciating pinched nerves and pressure on the spinal cord. Managing such weight then is of paramount importance for the woman in question and her spouse: if she’s in better health, there’s a greater chance the childbirth will come with no complications, and that post-partum she’ll be of better spirit.

One of the ways you can manage and, in some cases, eliminate this pain is by visiting a chiropractor. One might think, at first, it a bit odd to see a chiropractor in such a case; though, the more thought you put into it, the more sense it makes. Chiropractors perform their magic by realigning joints, and using precisely metered pressure with surgical precision. By using their chiropractic skills, they’ll be able to eliminate the possibility of pinched nerves and compressed spinal column.

There will, though, be some pain that the chiropractor can’t eliminate. This will be a result of the simple fact that a weight is being carried low on the body, and with mostly the hips bearing the load. Your chiropractor can, however, help manage this weight, and reduce your hip pain. Weekly visits will keep inflammation and compression down on the hips and pelvis, and help a woman with child maintain her mobility to a much higher degree than going it alone. The dreaded back pain will also be kept at bay: you can deal with nearly every pregnancy related pain through chiropractic medicine.

With or without chiropractic help, a woman’s body undergoes intense stress when placed in the situation of childbirth. Though, if you choose to use a chiropractic approach to manage your pregnancy pain, you’ll be in a much better situation to deal with the stress and strain of pregnancy, and the aftermath. The use of chiropractic care during pregnancy has been well documented by the American Pregnancy Association as well as other pregnancy associations around the world. This is based simply on the fact that chiropractic medicine – sharp, intense jabs of pressure applied with surgical precision – works, and works very well when dealing with the forces at work when a woman becomes pregnant. Most health insurance plans will actually cover chiropractic visits, and you’ll be in a much better situation to come out of pregnancy and deal with the post-partum emotions physically, and mentally.

Chiropractic care helped my body be more free and improved my posture

Posted on by

The chiropractic care I got here helped me to get rid of stiff ‘spots’ in my body that had come about because of bad habits and probably stress. I feel much more ‘free’ and my posture is better.

I feel grateful for the help I got here.

The treatment I received was very safe, doesn’t hurt and it works!

I found it to be a pleasant, relaxing experience. I was also given some simple exercises to do at home, which were very helpful. The doctor was very nice and easy to talk to. She was very thorough.

I would recommend the services I got here, and have done so already.

M.D.
