The position you sleep in is important to your health and to your brain! 😴

“During sleep, the space between brain cells expands, allowing fluid to rapidly flow through the brain and wash away toxins that have built up in the central nervous system during waking hours.”

The removal of waste products from the brain reduces your risk of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's.

A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience “investigated how sleeping positions affected the removal of toxins from the brain. The study found that “side sleeping was the most efficient way to cleanse the brain of waste”.

Other side sleeping benefits include:

• Aids with digestion
• Gravity moves waste through colon (left side sleeping)
• Reduces heartburn (left side sleeping)
• Boosts brain health
• Reduces snoring/sleep apnea

Sleeping on your back offers a number of health benefits as well because it allows your head, neck and spine to rest in a neutral position and “uses gravity to keep your body in even alignment over your spine”.

Sleeping on your stomach is the worst position for your health. It places an enormous amount of stress on your nervous system which can lead to a number of health issues. It also places stress on vertebral joints and muscles, which over time will lead to early degeneration, osteoarthritis, reduced flexibility, pain and more.

Poor sleep positions place significant stress on your brain and nervous system.

Chiropractors, through chiropractic adjustments, restore function to the spine reducing risk of spinal degeneration and osteoarthritis while improving flexibility but most importantly reducing stress on the brain and nervous system to help keep you healthy.

So, choose to sleep on your back or side (preferably left) and be sure to get adjusted.

“This is not a pathogen you want in your brain”

“A new study by Tulane and Columbia Universities shows Lyme bacteria in brain tissue of a 69-year year old patient. The woman died from dementia related complications — 14-years after receiving antibiotics immediately following a tick bite.”

The research shows how pathogens that cause Lyme can linger in the body despite early treatment.

It’s important to wear a repellent to protect yourself from ticks especially when you are walking in the woods.

But stay away from DEET! Research has linked it to a number of health issues.

“One 2009 study concluded that DEET may prevent the normal breakdown of acetylcholine, a nervous system chemical that triggers movement and muscle activity. And other research has tied DEET to seizures or brain toxicity in children.”

Here are some safer and natural alternatives for repellents to help keep the ticks away.

Protect yourself and family, not only from tick bites, but from the dangerous chemicals that are found in many repellents.

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. If left untreated, infection can spread to the joints, the heart and nervous system and place incredible stress on your brain.

People who suffer from Lyme disease can have a very diminished quality of life due to symptoms that can manifest as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions, depression, anxiety and even memory loss. Chronic Lyme disease is called “the great imitator” for this reason.

According to the CDC more than half a million people each year are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease.

Stress is a leading factor in Lyme relapse as it causes a release in cortisol which can speed up the reproduction of Lyme bacteria.

Many people who have Lyme disease and are under regular chiropractic care see a significant reduction (and in some cases, alleviation) of their physical and neurological symptoms.

The reason for this is that Chiropractic adjustments help the brain and nervous system better adapt to stress.

If you or someone you know suffers from Lyme disease get in touch with us to see how we can help.
