It's National Donut Day-----
---STOP!!! DON'T eat that donut!
Here are some healthy alternatives:
--Apple "Donuts": Core an apple, slice it into thick, flat rings, and spread peanut butter, chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips over them.
--Frozen Grapes or Berries: When you need a bite-sized treat, frozen grapes have a naturally sweet, almost gummy texture that hits the spot.
--Dates Stuffed with Nut Butter: Medjool dates taste incredibly similar to rich caramel. Stuff one with a teaspoon of almond or peanut butter for a fiber-rich, satisfying bite.

Chiropractic care, originating from the Greek words for "done by hand," involves over 100,000 practitioners worldwide. Founded in 1895, the profession requires over 4,200 hours of training. It is a popular, cost-effective, and safe option for pain relief, with 77% of patients finding it very effective. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here are some fun and interesting facts about chiropractic care:
• "Done by Hand": The term "chiropractic" comes from the Greek words cheir (hand) and praktos (done), meaning it is a hands-on approach to health.
• The First Adjustment: The first chiropractic adjustment was given in 1895 by D.D. Palmer to a janitor named Harvey Lillard, who reportedly regained his hearing after a back accident.
• Highly Trained Professionals: Chiropractors are well-educated, completing a 3-4 year doctoral graduate school program with over 4,200 hours of training, including anatomy, physiology, and clinical studies.
• Not Just for Back Pain: While famous for treating back pain, chiropractic care is used by over 35 million Americans annually for various health issues, including headaches and neck pain.
• Athletic Edge: All 32 NFL teams use chiropractors to optimize performance, enhance recovery, and treat injuries, as shown in this article from Chiro One.
• The "Cracking" Sound: The popping noise (cavitation) heard during an adjustment is not bones rubbing, but rather gas bubbles popping within the joint fluid.
• More Women Patients: Statistically, 60% of chiropractic patients are female.
• Celebrated History: In the early 1900s, chiropractors were sometimes jailed for practicing without a license.
• Brain Nutrition: According to research by Nobel prize winner Dr. Roger Sperry, 90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine.
