Dr. Damon Asks some important questions of interest to East Sacramento residents - Chiropractor East Sacramento Dr. Damon Asks...

Could a chiropractor put an end to bedwetting?
If bladder control seems elusive, consider chiropractic. If spinal bones are interfering with nerves that control your child's bladder, plastic sheets, alarms and other methods simply add to the embarrassment. East Sacramento parents are often amazed (and relieved) that chiropractic can be so helpful. Learn more.
Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in East Sacramento and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.

Here’s to Your Health with Juicing!

During the last several years, juicers have replaced blenders on many kitchen counters. And for a nation that spends billions a year in fast food restaurants, that’s a very good thing indeed!

Juicer

Juicing is a super “scrub” for your insides, reaching all the way down to the cellular level, in a way no other cleanser can. It can also boost the immune system and provides energy to the body.

Other health benefits of specific juices...
  • Liver and blood cleansing from juicing beets and apples

  • Better kidney functioning, lowered blood pressure, and improved skin appearance from juicing cucumbers

  • Improved kidney function from juicing cranberries

  • Relief from joint stiffness and ulcer repair from juicing cabbage

Start with the vegetables you like un-juiced; remember you can eat the pulp as a great source of additional fiber. The darker green the vegetable, the better it is for you, even though it takes some getting used to! Most people love carrot juice, but beware—it’s full of natural sugars, as are most vegetables that grow underground, and can wreak havoc on insulin levels.

You can add fats and proteins to your juice for increased nutritional value. Pumpkin or flax seeds, garlic and cod liver oil or fish oil are excellent sources of fat and protein. There are other add-ins, such as coconut, lemons and ginger that will make your juice more palatable and give it some interesting flavor.

Make sure you start with quality organic produce – the juice is only as good for you as what goes into it to start. Drink the juice immediately after juicing as it loses its nutritional value quickly and is perishable. And be sure to thoroughly clean your juicer to prevent mold from accumulating in it.
