Garlic is one of natures most wonderful gift to man. Imagine food without the benefits of garlic flavor. Imagine health with full dependence on pharmacological products. Imagine life that is devoid of garlic and its benefits. That must be one lousy, unexciting existence. Garlic is an ingredient that food connoisseurs wouldn’t dream of. Similarly, health enthusiasts will find it harder to deal with common disease without garlic. Among the benefits of garlic are based upon its antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. With this property, garlic can be used like an antibiotic. Not only will it be cheaper and safer, bacteria cannot also form any resistance to it. This means that it will always be a handy solution to infections. Development of resistance against certain antibiotics is the reason why certain antibiotics cannot be used in the treatment of certain infections anymore. Have you ever thought about all of these benefits from your dutiful kitchen companion? With garlic, that resistance will never happen.

Treat the Body Right
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011There are times to cut corners but when it comes to your body, treat it right. A yearly visit to a chiropractor is one of the most natural and efficient things a person can do for themselves.
I had a good friend I Iiked to call Miss Rush. She spoke fast, every step was a light jog and she always had several things going at once.
One day, a terrible auto accident left her needing physical therapy. She got discouraged due to the excessive pain, which was remedied by prescribed medicine. Well, by the time she woke up, it was time to take more and every day was the same.
A friend knew a chiropractor who’s work was simply amazing. He worked with athletes, construction workers and was no stranger to accident victims. There was a lot testing to be done and Miss Rush was slowed down with the bandages but had more mobility than with pain killers.
A good day for her is a short but slow walk around the park, where she appreciates life more than ever.
Being Pregnant Later in Life
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011Now that my life is good, I want to share it with someone special. Even though the obstetrician warns against having a child after a certain age, he said that having a Chicago pregnancy chiropractor would not hurt.
At first, I thought about someone bending and stretching my body and that of my baby. The reason he suggested her was due to two main factors; (1) I am slightly overweight and borderline diabetic and (2) I am in my late 40s and never carried a child to term.
So the first order was keeping my weight down so that I would not develop gestational diabetes, followed by therapy sessions to support my lower regions and ensure a safe delivery.
At first, I was not happy about taking time to see another doctor but the good news is that I’ve had almost no weight gain and I’m entering my last trimester.
Not sure what to expect but now I think of my baby as having a dual support system instead of another driving trip.
