An estimated 38,000 U.S. women under age 50 have heart attacks each year.

Warning signs you shouldn't ignore

Heart trouble can be confused with other ailments, like indigestion or a panic attack. Watch out for these symptoms, and when in doubt, call 911.
• Tightness, heaviness, pressure or a squeezing sensation in your chest or back
• Tingling down one or both arms or legs
• Shortness of breath/racing heart
• Jaw pain
• Dizziness/lightheadedness
• Extreme fatigue
• Nausea/vomiting (especially if it comes with other heart-related symptoms, such as shortness of breath, a cold sweat or chest pain)

Even thin women can be at risk

"Many women—and their doctors—assume that because they’re thin and don’t smoke, they’re at low risk of heart disease, but that’s not always the case," says Nieca Goldberg, MD, medical director of NYU Langone Medical Center’s Joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health. Yes, being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. But "there are plenty of women walking around who are thin and have high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol," notes Dr. Goldberg. Sometimes it boils down to genetics—if high cholesterol or hypertension runs in your family, you’ll be more susceptible, too. You can also have a normal body mass index (BMI) but still have high amounts of visceral fat—the body fat stored deep within your abdomen that nestles around your liver, pancreas and intestines. This type of fat is considered particularly dangerous because it secretes cytokines, inflammatory substances that are toxic to your heart.

Middle-aged women with depression are at higher risk of heart disease, suggests a study presented in October at the North American Menopause Society’s annual meeting. Loneliness and social isolation are also linked to a 29 percent greater risk of a heart attack, according to a review of research published last April in the medical journal Heart.

Know your numbers

High numbers (or low, in the case of HDL) can mean you are at risk of heart disease or may have metabolic syndrome, which doubles your heart disease risk. Here's what to aim for:
Cholesterol
Total: Under 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood)
LDL: Under 100 mg/dL
HDL: Over 60 mg/dL
Triglycerides: Under 150 mg/dL Ask your doc for all four numbers; each is key to understanding your risk.
Blood pressure 
Under 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury)
The top number, the systolic, is the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom number, the diastolic, is the pressure between beats.
BMI
Under 25
Being overweight strains the heart and raises blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Calculate yours at health.com/ bmi-calculator.
Waist circumference
Under 35 inches
Even if you’re at a normal BMI, having belly fat can predispose you to heart disease.

Sleep matters

Sleep deprivation raises levels of cortisol and inflammatory cytokines, both of which promote the development of heart disease by increasing blood sugar levels and blood pressure, explains Dr. Goldberg. In fact, people who get five or fewer hours of sleep a night have 50 percent more calcium in their coronary arteries—an early marker of heart disease—than those who clock seven hours of slumber a night, according to a 2015 Korean study.

Don't fear the fat

Research shows that the type of fat you consume is more important than the amount. When it comes to heart health, replacing saturated fats with refined carbs doesn’t do you any favors—but replacing them with unsaturated fats can reduce heart disease risk by up to 25 percent, said a 2015 study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Bye, bye BO (bad body odor)!

Many folks swear by the deodorizing powers of baking soda infused with coconut oil for banishing that nasty stench under armpits.

To prepare and apply your natural deodorant without the mess, clean and fill an empty mineral makeup container (with a perforated top) with the baking soda and coconut oil mixture.

For most people straight coconut oil works fine, but it is a bit oily.

Who Cares? You Should.

Most deodorants contain chemicals known to be toxic. Chemicals that cause cancer, liver failure, heart problems, even birth defect.

What do six sacks of potatoes, six large watermelons and an 8-year-old child have in common?

All are equal to the amount of pressure texting puts on your back.

 

Barton Chiropractic has always educated patients about the neck and back strain associated with hunching over a computer screen on a daily basis, but now smartphones are grabbing the spotlight as the top spinal stressor.

 

A new study in Surgical Technology International showed that, bending your neck over a cell phone to text, tweet, or check Facebook can exert an extra 60 pounds of weight on the neck of an adult, creating spinal problems.

 The farther your head falls forward, the more the weight increases on your neck and spine.

 

“An adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds. As the head tilts forward the forces seen by the neck surges to 27 pounds at 15 degrees, 40 pounds at 30 degrees, 49 pounds at 45 degrees and 60 pounds at 60 degrees, or about the weight of six large watermelons or my eight year old son.

 

 Chiropractors are posture specialist. One of the first things that a Chiropractor reviews is a patients posture. Good posture is when the ears are aligned with the shoulders and shoulder blades. Losing the spine’s natural curvature causes abnormal stress as well as wear on the spine which leads to

premature degenerative joint disease and neck pain. Sometimes the degeneration gets so bad that Chiropractic cant help and surgery is needed.  

 

This image shows how Subluxation ( the spinal bone being out of place) results in degeneration .

 

Most people spend two to four hours a day on phones and other tech gadgets, resulting in at least an extra 700 to 1,400 hours of stress on the neck and spine each year. I do not expect people to give up their devices, but you do need to be aware of the potential problem that you may already have developed.

 

So, what should you do? First and foremost I believe that you should contact a Chiropractor that specializes in corrective care like Barton Chiropractic and have your posture evaluated. This is one of the reasons that we never charge anyone to sit down and talk with one of our doctors. Second, I would try to position your phone/device at eye level if you are spending any time on it.

Milk Associated With Higher Death Rate? Alcohol Helps Your Memory?

 

For decades, we've been told that milk "does the body good," but maybe not, according to Barton Chiropractic review of new research.

 

According to a new study, drinking large amounts of milk each day does not lower a person's risk of bone fractures and instead may be associated with a higher rate of death.

 

Based on observational evidence, Michaëlsson and colleagues raise the possibility that milk could increase the risk of particularly hip fractures among women and cardiovascular and overall mortality in both sexes.

 

Milk is high in two types of sugar — lactose and galactose — that have proven to speed up the aging process in animals by increasing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.The goal of the current study was to find out if the sugars in milk, had the same effect on humans. So researchers analyzed data from 61,433 women (ages 39-74 years) and 45,339 men (ages 45-79) who completed questionnaires inquiring how often they consumed 96 common foods, including milk, yogurt, and cheese. The women were tracked for an average of 20 years, while the men were tracked, on average, for 11 years. The number of deaths and fractures in both groups were recorded.

"We indeed found higher oxidative stress and inflammation in women and men who consumed several glasses of milk per day compared with those who drank lower amounts," lead author Karl Michaëlsson told Yahoo Health. Michaëlsson and his research team also found no reduction in fracture risk with higher milk consumption. Furthermore, women who drank more than three glasses of milk a day (average 680 ml) had a higher risk of death than women who drank less than one glass of milk a day (average 60 ml).  

 

 

 Our bodies do need calcium to build and maintain healthy bones as well as aid in other important tasks, such as regulate the heart's rhythm and help blood to clot.

  

ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol.

 

Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful antibiotics (perhaps 53, with LS-50), blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses. (Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate... including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing ... (the 50's strontium-90 problem). Dangers Of Milk And Dairy Products 

 

Alcohol is good for more than making memories—it’s also good for keeping them.

 

Despite alcohol’s reputation as a brain-cell assassin, new research suggests that drinking daily in moderation after age 60 may actually help preserve your memory.

In the study, published in the American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias, the researchers tracked the alcohol intake of 664 people, assessed their cognitive functioning with a handful of tests, and performed scans of their brains.

 

What they found: Imbibing later in life — as long as it was at a light to moderate level — was associated with better ability to remember specific events, compared to abstaining. This is a significant finding, since episodic memory is the type of recall that usually disappears with dementia. “Over time, you don’t necessarily lose memory of how to do things, “You usually lose memory of events — memories that you have to retrieve, instead of just use. It’s not just forgetting your keys. It’s forgetting key moments in your life.”

 

The scientists credit alcohol’s ability to preserve the hippocampus. Past research has shown that people with Alzheimer’s disease show shrinkage in this brain region. In the study, MRI’s revealed that the moderate drinkers had greater hippocampal volume than abstainers — further evidence that alcohol does, in fact, shield this part of the brain.

 

 But keep in mind: Although a daily glass of booze may boost your brain, a daily six-pack will not. “All of these improvements actually reverse when people drink more than three drinks per day,” cautioned Zanjani. Over-imbibing may actually accelerate mental decline over time, she said.

Dr. David A Barton reviews - Gluten - Gluten Intolerance

 

                        Barton Chiropractic handout 10/27/2014

What Is Gluten?

Gluten is not a protein itself but rather a protein composite, which means it is composed of several different proteins. The primary proteins giving gluten its utility in baking and its difficulty in health are glutenin and gliadin (in wheat), secalin (in rye) and hordein (in barley). These are elastic proteins in the protein family known as prolamins. This unique protein composite is insoluble in water and comes from the endosperm (see the accompanying picture) within the seeds of grass-related grains.

 

 

 

Gluten's Origin: Endosperm

 

 

Gluten exists in the grass-like grains wheat, barley, rye, kamut and spelt. It provides an elasticity and glue-like capacity to hold its flour products together and provide them with a chewy texture. Some argue that other grains — including rice, corn and oats — contain some form of gluten, even if they do not share the profile of peptides associated with any form of gluten sensitivity.

 

Adverse reactions

In individuals with coeliac disease (spelled "celiac" in American English), consumption of gluten causes adverse health issues.  Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive process of the small intestine.
 

Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (sometimes known as gluten intolerance) is a condition thought to arise as a result of an immunological response to gluten that differs in nature to the immune response characteristic of coeliac disease. However, there is no current scientific consensus that this is a genuine pathological condition and the mechanism by which this could occur is unknown.

 

What Are Gluten Intolerance Symptoms?

Keep in mind how there are over 250 documented symptoms of a gluten sensitivity and their manifestation varies greatly from person to person. I think I have the most common symptoms and the most important symptoms you should know about right away.

• Abdominal Distention
• Abdominal Pain and Cramping
• Alternating Bouts of Diarrhea and Constipation
• Anemia
• Arthritis
• Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
• Back pain
• Bloating (see Gluten Intolerance Bloating)
• Bone Density Loss
• Borborygmi (stomach rumbling)
• Brittle Nails
• Canker sores or mouth ulcers
• Constipation (see Celiac Disease Constipation)
• Stunted Growth and Failure to Thrive
• Dental Enamel Defects
• Depression, Anxiety and Irritability (see Celiac Depression)
• Dry Hair
• Dermatitis Herpetiformis
• Diabetes
• Diarrhea
• Edema
• Fatigue
• Low Ferritin Symptoms
• Malodorous Flatulence
• Malodorous Stools
• Gluten Ataxia
• Grayish Stools
• Hair Loss (Alopecia)
• Headaches and Migraines
• Hypoglycemia
• Infertility (see Gluten Intolerance and Pregnancy)
• Joint pain
• Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
• Lactose intolerance
• Nausea
• Numbness or tingling in the patient’s hands and feet
• Osteoporosis
• Peripheral Neuropathy (including either a tingling or sensation of swelling your toes and fingers)
• Sjogren’s Disease
• Steatorrhea (high lipids in the stool, which may cause the stool to float)
• Teeth and Gum Problems
• Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies
• Vomiting
• Unexplained Weight loss
• Urticaria

 

 

Avoid all food and drinks containing:

• Barley (malt, malt flavoring and malt vinegar are usually made from barley)
• Rye
• Triticale (a cross between wheat and rye)
• Wheat

Avoiding wheat can be challenging because wheat products go by numerous names. Consider the many types of wheat flour on supermarket shelves — bromated, enriched, phosphated, plain and self-rising. Here are other wheat products to avoid:

• Bulgur
• Durum flour
• Farina
• Graham flour
• Kamut
• Semolina
• Spelt

Many healthy and delicious foods are naturally gluten-free:

• Beans, seeds, nuts in their natural, unprocessed form
• Fresh eggs
• Fresh meats, fish and poultry (not breaded, batter-coated or marinated)
• Fruits and vegetables
• Most dairy products

It's important to make sure that they are not processed or mixed with gluten-containing grains, additives or preservatives. Many grains and starches can be part of a gluten-free diet:

• Amaranth
• Arrowroot
• Buckwheat
• Corn and cornmeal
• Flax
• Gluten-free flours (rice, soy, corn, potato, bean)
• Hominy (corn)
• Millet
• Quinoa
• Rice
• Sorghum
• Soy
• Tapioca
• Teff

I hope this review helps you, but again, do not try to diagnose yourself with a list you find on the Internet. Always consult a professional because this is a very serious condition. For more information contact Barton Chiropractic at (925) 685-2002 or visit our website at www.BartonChiro.com

Dr. David A. Barton reviews the Ebola viru

Ebola virus disease (EVD; also Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF)) or simply Ebola is a disease of humans and other primates caused by ebolaviruses.

 

Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus, with a fever, sore throat, muscle pain and headaches. Then, vomiting, diarrhea and rash usually follows, along with decreased function of the liver and kidneys. At this time, generally, some people begin to bleed both internally and externally.^[1]

 

 Death, if it occurs, is typically six to sixteen days after symptoms appear and is often due to low blood pressure from fluid loss.^[2]

 

The virus is acquired by contact with blood or other body fluids of an infected human or other animal.^[1] This may also occur by direct contact with a recently contaminated item.^[1] Spread through the air has not been documented in the natural environment

 

 

Turning to Ebola, here are the more popular -- and possibly credible -- conspiracy theories circulating right now. Ask yourself: Are any of these conspiracies possibly true?


Theory #1) Ebola is a bioengineered weapon deployed in Africa by the U.S. Dept. of Defense
Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/046915_Ebola_conspiracy_theories_biological_weapons.html##ixzz3Gt4F34bL

 
Theory #2) The CDC owns the patent on the Ebola vaccine and is pushing Ebola panic to boost profits for itself and vaccine manufacturers

Theory #3) Globalists intentionally released Ebola to initiate their desired depopulation agenda, hoping to reduce world population by half

Theory #4) There is no Ebola outbreak, and the CDC is inventing hysteria in order to push high-profit vaccines
Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/046915_Ebola_conspiracy_theories_biological_weapons.html##ixzz3Gt4YAfgX

 

 

 Based on what I have read, I believe that this is a man made or engineered virus. I have yet to see anyone that does not agree with this statement.

 

We can always speculate why, that does not change the fact that the virus exist.

 

 

 

 

 

I think that our focus needs to be on prevention!

 

1) Wash your hands often.

2) Avoid crowded locations where you will be breathing less than fresh air.

3) Get plenty of rest.

4) Make sure that your immune system is functioning at its best.

 

How can you maximize immune / nervous system function? Chiropractic! I am sure you are wondering how Chiropractic can help you avoid Ebola. Well... Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to boost the coordinated responses of the nervous system and immune system.

The autonomic nervous system is hardwired into the lymphoid organs such as the spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and bone marrow that produce the body's immune response. Chiropractic Makes sure that that nervous system is functioning at 100% and growing evidence is showing that immune function is regulated in part by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.

Dr. Barton Reviews Bulletproof Coffee. Have you tried it yet?

I was introduced to bulletproof coffee by a young Chiropractor in Concord. I was very skeptical at first. So I started looking in to it. There really is no research to support the claims that are made. But the concept itself makes good sense. Our bodies like to process fat. Grains, not so much. So I thought I would give it a try.

 

What is it?

 

Dave Asprey is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and leader in the "biohacking" movement. His most popular innovation, however, is a drink – Bulletproof coffee, which is a mix of oil, butter, and coffee beans. Asprey had the idea in Tibet when, exhausted from hiking in the Himalayas, he was treated by some locals to a tea creamed with yak butter. He felt immediately revitalized. Upon returning to the States, he began researching buttered beverages and eventually developed a coffee-based version.

Asprey's Bulletproof Coffee

Ingredients

• 2 cups of hot coffee brewed with low-toxin beans. (Bulletproof sells such a brand, called Upgraded Coffee.)
• 1 to 2 tbsp of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. Bulletproof sells its own purified MCT product called Upgraded Brain Octane.
• 2 tbsp of unsalted butter from grass-fed cows

Preparation

Brew the coffee. Combine the MCT oil, butter, and coffee in a blender, and liquefy until a thick layer of foam forms on top.

Dr. Barton's brew: I use two shots of espresso, one good teaspoon organic butter, one teaspoon coconut oil, a heavy pinch of cinnamon then I run it through the blender. I actually have been enjoying so much, it is hard to drink regular coffee.

What have I noticed? I have my coffee at 5;30 am, I am not hungry until noon. I feel great. Energy is great, Body fat has decreased.

What is MCT?
Asprey claims the MCTs in Bulletproof coffee help with mental acuity and energy levels. Compared to longer-chain fats, MCTs are digested more quickly and are less likely to get stored in fatty tissue. One of the most recent studies on MCTs found that they did promote weight loss but didn't boost exercise performance. Whether they give an overall energy boost is still not certain.

 

Why Butter?
Compared to cream, butter also has more butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that possesses anti-inflammatory properties, and some research has shown it can promote brain function and gut health. Butter also has more vitamins, such as A, D, and K2, than cream and is lower in sugar.

 It's not as odd as you may think. Adding butter to hot drinks is a longstanding tradition in many parts of the world. Mixing spiced butter into coffee is common in Ethiopia, for example. Similarly, hot tea with yak butter - vigorously churned to prevent the fat and water from separating - is a staple drink of Tibetans who live at high altitudes. They regard it as an essential source of energy that helps them flourish in their harsh, frigid climate.

 

The reason it seems so strange to us is a misguided campaign against saturated fat (loosely defined as fat that remains solid at room temperature) waged in the U.S. since the late 1970s has left many Americans skittish about butter; they have been repeatedly warned that it 'clogs arteries."

 

March, 2010 issue the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found "no significant evidence" that dietary saturated fat is associated with increased heart disease risk. Still, I'm not comfortable telling people to eat it with abandon.

 

I have been experimenting with coffee made according to Asprey's recipe and have had good results. It keeps hunger at bay and has enhanced my mental clarity and sharpness 20 to 25 percent.  I believe that a morning dose of almost pure fat may help stimulate the body's fat-burning potential, leading to easier weight loss. I have been using organic coffee and butter from grass-fed cows and coconut oil. In two weeks I have lost 9 lbs.

 

I thought Huh, What if I just try coffee in the morning. 0 wt. loss after 2 weeks. Not to mention my stomach felt a bit sour, I was grinding my teeth. Not so good.

 

I continue to recommend my anti-inflammatory diet as the eating plan most consistent with current nutrition science. It recommends moderate consumption of fat in general and saturated fat in particular.

 

Overall, I like it. Weight loss, more energy, not hungry till noon, what's not to like. I am getting ready for a blood draw today we will see how that looks.
