How To Balance Your Life

Are You In Harmony
With the Rhythms of Nature? 
Our body, mind, and spirit are connected to the rhythms of nature. We often lock ourselves into artificial frenzied schedules and activities that are out of harmony with our natural rhythms. When we feel out of balance we need to learn to become aware of and honor our innate urges.

The Autumn Equinox took place on September 22. It was a day of perfect balance when the hours of daylight and darkness were the same length. The equinox period is about
balance and harmony.

The Equinox marked the seasonal transition to longer nights and shorter days. It's a time of :

Harvest
CommunityHarmony with Nature
Celebration
Thanksgiving          

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.   ----Henry David Thoreau

In contrast to the creative manifesting of summer where energies are high, autumn is a time of :

Completion
Balance
Realizing Abundance

 It's a time of deepening darkness when we

Retreat Inside to Rest
Reflect on the Past and Future
Strengthen Our Spirits

A recurrent theme throughout ancient civilizations was the philosophy that the universe exists as a beautiful harmonious whole. The Greek word "kosmos" literally translated as "embroidery" and signified the intrinsic harmony of the world as a complete, interconnected whole. We are a connected part of that whole.

Restore balance by tuning  into the current cycle of nature and let yourself connect to it.

Treat Your Staff to a " Massage Day " with Absolute Health Chiropractic


 
On Monday, August 4th, Buckhead Christian Ministry was the lucky recipient of    "Massage Day" from Absolute Health Chiropractic!

Dr. Franklin and staff received a wonderful tour of the inner workings of the BCM facility, which provides transitional housing programs for families that have nowhere else to turn.

Both paid and volunteer employees were visible manning the various operations which include a food bank, case management, individual and family counseling and much more.

We could tell that this busy group could use a massage and individual counseling with Dr. Franklin about their health and ways to create balance in their busy  lives!

Great composites were made and a lot of the staff  were interested in future appointments to create a healthier lifestyle.

If you think your company would be interested in a Massage/Employee Appreciation Day please have your Human Resources Manager or contact person call our office at 404-257-0188. Ask for Jacqui Garcia for further information and schedule options.

We want to thank Massage Therapist Rebecca Parker, a former employee of AHC, who participated in this event. Rebecca is greatly loved here at AHC and is considered part of our family. Thanks Rebecca!

Supplements vs Cold & Flu  Medicines

The change of weather from summer to fall heralds in what's called the "cold and flu" season. Many people succumb to colds and flu this time of year. Here at AHC, we teach our patients to not buy into that mind set. We THINK HEALTH, not "cold and flu season".

Thinking HEALTH is the first step to staying healthy. The next step is to give your body what it needs to do that. Heavy marketing by the big pharmaceutical companies has programmed the public to reach for their drugs or ask their doctor for them when they feel sick. Often the advertisements themselves suggest sickness and suddenly a person is experiencing symptoms.

More often than not, these drugs are not cures or preventives, but actually interfere with some essential hormonal or chemical system in our bodies. They maintain the illness and mask its symptoms while producing dangerous side effects.

The body has an amazing ability to heal itself. Self-healing is at the basis of natural remedies and therapies. These remedies are based on nutrients and extracts derived from food sources or common medicinal plants. Natural remedies restore proper cellular function by supplying very large quantities of the nutrients the cells need to return to health.

Taken in proper doses, natural remedies are safer than pharmaceutical drugs because they are derived from food sources, and they have no health-threatening side effects.

AHC carries a wide range of natural remedies and supplements to help your body return to health in a safe and effective way.

The newest kid on the block is WobenZym N. It helps build the immune system naturally. A strong immune system helps prevent colds and flu.

Food Shopping by Numbers
The Overall Nutritional Quality Index
What Is It?
A new food ranking system is being put into place in the grocery stores. It's called the Overall Nutritional Quality Index, or ONQI.                                                           

How and what we eat plays a major role in our health, or lack of it. There's abundant evidence that conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are linked to diet.

Current food labeling can be confusing.
Many people purchase foods they think are       SCORE A 100! 
nutritious but in fact aren't.
Grocery Cart
The ONQI was developed by a panel of 12 of the nations foremost experts on nutrition. It uses a mathematical formula that looks at the nutrients in a particular food as well as the amount of fat, sugar, sodium and cholesterol, energy density, glycemic load and other factors to determine the food's score on a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being the healthiest. For example, hot dogs are 5 compared to sockeye salmon which ranks 82.

The nutritional scoring system is due to be in place this fall. for more information on ONQI click on the link below.

Comfort Food That's Healthy?

Tuscan Bean Veggie Soup
Who says comfort food has to be bad for you? Here's a soup that packs in the nutrition, is easy to make, and is rich and satisfying. It's a perfect warm meal for these cooler autumn days! Enjoy!

TUSCAN BEAN & VEGETABLE SOUP

1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 large carrot, diced
14 ounce can chopped tomatoes
2/3 cup Italian dry red wine
5 cups fresh vegetable stock
1 tsp dried oregano
15 ounce can mixed beans and legumes,
or dried and soaked overnight (less sodium!)
2 medium zucchini, diced
1 tbsp tomato paste

Place the prepared onion, garlic, celery, and carrot in a large saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes, red wine, vegetable stock, and oregano.

Bring the vegetable mixture to a boil, cover the pan, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir the beans and zucchini into the mixture, and continue to cook, uncovered, for a further 5 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and season well with salt and pepper to taste. Then heat through, stirring occasionally, for a further 2-3 minutes, but do not allow the mixture to boil again.

TO SERVE:
low-fat pesto sauce
crusty bread

For a more substantial  soup, add 12 ounces diced lean cooked chicken or turkey with the tomato paste in step 3.

Packaged organic veggie broth is great in this recipe too if  you don't have homemade broth handy.

A New Look For AHC Website
At the beginning of 2008 AHC began work on a new and improved website. We've made many new improvements since then,  starting with a new look in color. The work is still in progress as we strive to meet the needs of our patients.

Our goal is to serve our patients better with a more interactive and informative site. We now have a new and convenient way for new patients to fill out the paperwork online that's needed for their first visit and email it to us. A new shopping cart for easy and convenient purchase of supplements and other health products is in the works and coming soon. Our plans include a blog so we can have more personal communication with you about your health issues and to get your feedback on how we can better serve you.

We'd like to thank our new webmistress, Kimm Young, for her expertise and efficiency. She came into our lives just in the nick of time. Thanks Kimm!
