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.

Dr. Tom Asks some important questions of interest to Auburn residents - Chiropractor Auburn Dr. Tom Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Auburn residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
