Blog Entry 2 of 8 What You Really Need To Know About Your Health

PALM CITY, FL --- Hello. My name is Dr. Bruce Hansbrough. I am a board certified chiropractic physician. I recently established a new and improved website to help educate local community members about chiropractic and alternative care.The website, http://www.drhansbrough.com, provides visitors with more than 300 pages of chiropractic and health content. Information regarding how chiropractic care can help with headaches, neck and back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromylagia, and much more is furnished on the site. The website also allows you to take a closer look at me and my educational background and experience, office hours, and a map and directions to the practice. Visitors will find a professionally written, monthly patient education newsletter that provides the latest research studies on health. An animated exercise section, designed to guide patients with general neck and back exercises, can also be found on the site. The "Ask the Doctor" section allows visitors to e-mail me with any questions they have about health and chiropractic. I'm available for questions and can be reached by calling 772-288-6456. Or you can e-mail at drhansbrough@drhansbrough.com.

Poor Soils Equal Poor Quality Food

We read everyday how important it is to eat healthy and eat more of the "good" stuff and less of the "bad" stuff. Would it surprise you to know that the overwheming majority of the foods that you buy at the supermarket, including organic vegetables, do not have enough the daily required vitamins and minerals to sustain healthy human life? Why is that?

Back in the 1930s, a study was conducted by the USDA and their report was submitted to Congress that the soils of the avergae farm cannot produce grains and vegetables which have enough of the right vitamins and minerals for human health. Today, crops that are harvested on our farms or imported form overseas still have the same problem of being grown in nutrient-poor soils. Therefore, what you hear about certain foods being rich in a certain substance (i.e., broccoli haigh in calcium) may not be entirely true. At one time, under ideals conditions before the soils were depleted this may have been true.

For example, to understand how rich in a certain nutrient a certain vegetable is, that vegetable must be analyzed and tested to see if the soil it grew in can support such statements. The fact is that the nutirents in vegetabes you buy at the market can vary widely depending on where it was grown.

Consumers who understand this principle and are concerned about longevity and health sustenance continue to eat these vegetables. The difference is, they take supplements to offset this deficiency. There is little choice and availability in what we eat. Most of us do not have the time, knowledge, or resources to grow all that we need. Therefore, it makes very good sense to have an "insurance" against this deficinecy of vitamins and minerals in our food. The fact is, you cannot get all the vitamins and minerals you need from food alone anymore.

That "insurance" is a good quality, pharmaceutical grade multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. Taken regularly and daily, along with a healthful eating lifestyle, you can ward off many diseases, and in some cases reverse conditions that are age-related. If you are not currently taking a high quality supplement, you are taking risks with your health that are unnecessary. It takes no more than a few seconds each day to give yourself the protection your body needs in our busy and processed world.

I am happy to discuss several lines of high quality, pharmaceutical-grade supplements if you would like more information. Contact me personally at 772-288-6456 or by email at drhansbrough@drhansbrough.com.
