Every February, organizations like the American Heart Association, the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute and the CDC team up for American Heart Month to remind us that heart disease is still the number one cause of death in the United States.
If you already exercise regularly, eat a nutritious diet full of heart-healthy foods and keep stress levels in check, you're on the right path. Although each and every person should be concerned with heart health every month of the year, this month each person should take that extra second and make sure that you have had the proper detection procedures to confirm that you are doing everything possible to keep your ticker in its optimal capacity.
Heart morbity rate is listed at a staggering 11.8% by the CDC, which is over 27.1 Million poeple that die each year from heart related problems. That is overwhelming! So I ask, if we are doing the same 'preventative' procedures as we have always done and not taken any different approaches, then how can we expect any different outcomes? The numbers will only continue to rise until we decide to take a different approach and find out what the missing link is. Over the past few years, rates of heart disease have been steadily dropping as a result of improved detection and treatment of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as smoking-prevention efforts. These improvements are in large part due to tremendous efforts of the American people taking it upon themselves to step outside of the box of "normal medicine" and find alternatives to what they are being told.
Many are finding an untold secret in the healthcare industry that the small little piece of your Nerve System that connects your brain to your spinal cord called the Brain Stem is the master control switch. The control center for all Vital functions that occur in the entire human body are situated in this little piece of tissue and one of the most vital is Heart function, which is controlled by the Cardiac Center, located in the brainstem. Therefore, if you keep a proper functioning brainstem, along with dietary nutrition and exercise your heart will perform at is optimal potential. And with most standard heart exams, they do not perform a Nervous System funcition test, which tells if your brainstem is functioning properly or not. Only a Specific Chiropractor with the proper Nerve System analysis instrumention can detect if your brainstem and Nerve System are in proper functional capacity.
Make sure you are doing everything to maintain that ticker, as without it, the clock stops.
