Dear Practice Members,

Our Nutrition Workshop is this Thursday

'How to Reduce Pain and Inflammation with Diet and Nutritional Supplements'

                

Dr. Dean Smith will present this first workshop on Thursday, May 29th at 6:30 p.m. in the office.  Email us or call (937) 456-4555 to sign-up.  Everyone is welcome.  A complete set of notes will be provided for those in attendance and healthy food and drinks will be served.  The cost of $10 will cover the notes and snacks.

Links between diet and pain abound. At the most basic level, the nervous system requires nutrients in order to function optimally. Vitamin deficiencies can result in painful neuropathies.  Particular food types have been associated with analgesia.

Chronic pain and other degenerative conditions have similar biochemical causes, such as a diet-induced proinflammatory state. The typical American diet is deficient in fruits and vegetables and contains excessive amounts of meat, refined grain products, and dessert foods. Such a diet can have numerous adverse biochemical effects, all of which create a proinflammatory state and predispose the body to degenerative diseases.  Both the cause and treatment of chronic inflammation are related to lifestyle choices. Improvement in nutrition, weight, exercise, and stress will have the most beneficial long-term influences.

We literally eat ourselves into an inflamed and painful state and then seek out passive care from doctors to intervene on our behalf.

This workshop will present the dietary modifications and nutritional supplementation that appear to be the only interventions that can address the underlying cause.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,
Dean L. Smith, DC, PhD
