West Hartford Chiropractor Reviews: The Ten Best Foods For Optimal Health?

When you Google "Best Health Foods or Top Ten Health Foods" you will see a gigantic range of foods listed and if you are interested in foods that your body needs because they are essential to great health, then the list becomes very miniscule.

These Top Ten Lists are biased to the doctor or nutritionists goals. Obviously, if the goal is fat reduction then the list would be vastly different than the Top Ten Grains list.  The way I approached my list is three fold;

1. The list had to contain essential fats
2. The list had to have anti-inflammatory properties
3. The list had to have anti-oxidants.

West Hartford Chiropractor Reviews: The Ten Best Foods For Optimal Health?This is the best list, if optimum health is your goal, in my opinion.

1.  Salmon
   
   I love salmon because it has your daily supply of Vit D and B12. So if you want more energy and stronger bones and immune function - Salmon has it all. Along with Omega-3.
   
2. Walnuts
   
   Omeaga-3 and Vitamin E along with phenols in the skin. Great for heart problems, anti-oxidants and good fats for brain and immune system health.



3. Almonds
   Helps lower cholesterol and reduces your chance of diabetes. Rich in copper, maganese and riboflavin, which are vital for energy production - tired all the time, then have some salmon and almonds.
   
   
4. Avocados
   
   Loaded with anti-oxidant properties and yes loaded with fat - the good fat, that you need. Also they have carotenoids, which are anti-oxidants and even more than bright colored vegetables.
   
5. Beans (Yes, I realize if you are on the Paleo Diet these are a no no)Black beans in particular are high in fiber, great with blood sugar regulation and have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
   


6. Blueberries
   
   Are a low glycemic food, so they will not spike your blood sugar. Helps your nervous system specifically for memory and cognitive function. As you know high in anti-oxidants.
   
7. Garlic
   
   Helps reduce blood pressure, blood thinning, cholesterol, and protects your heart. Also along with being an anti-viral it is also an anti-oxidant.
   
8. BroccoliHigh in Vitamin D, C and K, helps to reduce cholesterol because of the high fiber content
   
   
9. Spinach
   
   Multiple vitamins, of which K is the most. Along with being an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory.
   
10. Dark Chocolate
    Great for your heart, brain and blood sugar. Also an anti-oxidant.

Why is a Structural Chiropractor from Advanced Chiropractic in West Hartford talking about foods?

We are not a conventional chiropractic office meaning that, we focus more on optimum function of your body and not just helping with pain, decreasing spasm and increasing range of motion (all great goals).

You see your nervous system (your nerves and brain) are made up of 60 percent structural fat. All your nerves are covered with fat - similar to omega-3. They are essential fats because, your body cannot make these fats. You must obtain them from your diet and or supplementation. Essential fats are critical to proper nervous system function and immune system function.

Anti-inflammatory properties because chronic unchecked inflammation, as you know wreaks havoc on your cardiovascular system and joints including your neck and low back.

Since I work with your nervous system and your inner framework (spine) that protects your nerves and want you on an anti-inflammatory diet (which is great for your joints and heart) it just makes common sense that I would talk about these specific foods.

You see, I know that health is not just a clear nervous system free of interference or a spine in the normal range, you need these foods to give your body the necessary building blocks for good health. I take no chances with our patients - I want you to be healthy, it's my priority.  I give you all the information and direction to give you the best chance for optimal health.

Have a Great Weekend.
