Want to be in a better mental health state? Health Wise Chiropractic may have the answers! 

A 2018 study reviewed over 500 000 people from a wide range of ages and from different ethnic and socioeconomic groups. 

It found that there was a strong link from exercise to being happier. 

Too hard pile? I challenge you as the study found that as little as 10 minutes a week was linked to being happier.  Of course those that worked out 30 minutes a day showed the greatest benefit. 

The exercise involved aerobic exercise and stretching/balancing exercises. 

Another study of over a million men and woman found that those who has the lowest level of fitness had a 76% increase in the likelihood that they would be diagnosed with depression. 

Another 2018 study found that people who did weight training had fewer symptoms of depression. The frequency and the amount of weight training did not matter. ​

Protein 

More than half the population is eating TOO MUCH protein! 

you only need 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day 

What is protein good for?
Protein is essential for tissue growth and repair digestion, metabolism and the production of antibodies to fight off those horrible infections. 

Of the 22 amino acids in the body, the body can make 13 and the other 9 essential amino acids must be supplied by the diet. 

Examples of meals you could eat to get your complete essential amino acid supply are: 
- rice and beans 
- tacos with beans 
- tofu with rice 
- barely and lentils
- pasta with beans

Want to help with heart disease ? 

The only diet,  to date, that has been scientifically proven to reverse heart disease is a whole foods, plant based diet low in fat and refined carbs. 

in a study of over 130 000 men and woman, animal protein intake was associated with higher premature mortality from all cause, Plant protein however was associated with lower mortality. 

another study high in animal protein was associated with:
-75% increase in overall mortality 
- 400% increase in cancer deaths

With rates of obesity increasing and our gut health declining, we need to look after our health and diet more efficiently, to help tackle our emotional and health problems. 

In just 40 years, the rate of obesity has increased from 13% to 35%. Our gut has influence on our basic emotions, our pain sensitivity and our social interactions.

Our gut has its own nervous system , the enteric nervous system, and is made up of 50-100 million nerve cells. 

There is more immune cells in the wall of our gut than circulating in the blood and bone marrow. 

Our brain, gut and microbes in our body actually communicate to each other, and this is how the gut can influence your emotional state. 

The brain influences your gut first, and the signals are generated by your microbes, and thees signals in turn communicate back to the brain, which can reinforce and can prolong the emotional state. 

Recent studies have also begun to directly test the link between gut microbiota and behavioural abnormalities. 

Studies have also found a link between Parkinsons and the gut. The enteric nervous system in the gut appears to undergo nerve degeneration typical of Parkinsons BEFORE the classical Parkinsons symptoms appear. 

Depression is one of the most common disabilities. Studies have shown that 95% of the bodies serotonin is contained in cells in the gut. Furthermore, these cells are influenced by what we eat. You guessed it, the same cells in the gut that are influenced by what we eat are connected to the sensory nerves that relay messages to the brains emotion regulating centre.

- People with chronic headaches , 1 in 2 had gluten sensitivity.
- Nearly 1 in 3 chronic headache sufferers were celiac. 
- 1 in 5 migraine sufferers had celiac disease. 

A reason could be the fact that MRI scans show that there is often profound changes in the white matter in the brain of headache sufferers with gluten sensitivity.
