Moderate Alcohol

glass of red wine.

Growing research seems to suggest that health benefits can be derived from the moderate intake of alcohol, especially red wine. (Moderate intake is considered to be about two glasses of wine three times a week.)

Antioxidant Properties

Red wine appears to block the oxidation of cholesterol, an early step in the creation of plaque on blood vessel walls. A recent study compared the effects of red wine, white wine and pure alcohol. The red wine had the most antioxidant properties. White wine was only 20% as effective, followed by the pure alcohol that had no effect.

The French Paradox

These findings may shed light on what is known as the French Paradox. The French eat the same fatty foods as their European neighbors, but they have much lower incidence of heart problems. The only significant difference between the French and their neighbors is that the French drink much more red wine.

Interestingly, in other studies in which test subjects received non-alcoholic red wine, the heart benefits were not observed.

Where do most Auburn residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Auburn newborn.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
