Sweet Surprises

Lower your risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes by following these simple steps:

*A recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that having a daily dose of peanut butter may help ward off Type 2 diabetes.  Just one tablespoon of peanut butter eaten at least five times per week can reduce your risk by 30%.  Try it on a whole-wheat English muffin, apple, or banana!

*Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables - one study found a 22% lower incidence of diabetes among people who do.

*Avoid processed, prepackaged snacks.

*Eat at least two servings per week of brown rice and you'll lower your risk by 11% compared to those who ate less of this healthy grain.  Additionally, brown rice will help you to feel fuller and more satisfied.  Make a healthy stir fry and add lots of veggies!

*Try a seasonal pumpkin yogurt parfait.  Preliminary research from China indicates that pumpkin extract may help to regulate blood sugar, as well as offering protective benefits to the pancreas.  Just mix 1 cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt of 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree.  Top it off with some sliced almonds or a bit of granola.

*Take care of your overall health and wellness by getting regularly checked by a chiropractor.  Call or email the professionals at West Loop Chiropractic today to schedule your new patient exam.  312.850.2225 or adjustme@westloopchiropractic.com

Family Dinner Ideas

It's just about dinnertime and, if you're like a lot of parents, you may be dreading the nightly battle to get your children to eat more fruits and veggies.  You may even be guilty yourself of skimping on the recommended 5 to 9 daily servings.  Well here are some no-fail strategies to help you meet this mealtime challenge.

1. Don't single out veggies.  A whole pile of broccoli won't look too appealing to most kids, so instead work them into dishes such as soups and sandwiches.

2. Keep it visible.  You'll be more likely to choose a piece of fruit as a snack if it is out on the counter or near the front of your fridge.

3. Involve your kids in the preparation of the meal.  They'll be much more likely to eat the foods they've helped create plus you get to enjoy some quality family time!

4. Get some at every meal, every day.  Add a banana or berries to your cereal, bulk up lunch with a salad, and make it a vegetable lasagna instead of meat.  Simple alterations and additions will ensure you get enough servings of fruit and veggies every day.

5. Try something new.  Be adventurous and explore your produce aisle - variety is the key to sticking to a healthy diet.

Instill good habits that will last a lifetime.  For more recommendations and assistance in making your family the healthiest on the block, speak with the doctors of West Loop Chiropractic.  Email or call us today to schedule your family's new patient exams - 312.850.2225 or adjustme@westloopchiropractic.com
