A Closer Look at the Final Factor of Wellness: Proper Nutrition
July 2005
by Ken Savage, DC

Last month's wellness article featured the Five Factors of Health:

1. Healthy Structure and Nerve System
2. Positive Mental Attitude and Emotional Wellbeing
3. Exercise
4. Proper Rest and Recovery
5. Proper Nutrition

Under regular chiropractic care, and following the advice from the Chiropractic First Workshops for the first four factors listed above, you are making great strides in those areas.

We at Chiropractic First have not yet fully explored the last factor, Proper Nutrition until now. Although we have always advised that fresh and live foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats, reduced sugars and starches, as the main staples in your diet, we now also endorse proper supplementation. With the help of Dr. Jayswal's extensive research in the area of vitamin supplementation, we are offering a supplemental program designed to help you feel better, have more energy and increase your overall wellness. Body Balance—the first supplement I've endorsed in 18 years of practice—is a liquid vitamin and mineral supplement.

Considered a “whole food” source, the vitamins and minerals in Body Balance are cultivated from the fresh growth vegetation from the ocean floor. A whole food is one that is as nature made it, with nothing added and nothing removed except water. Ocean vegetation is one of the highest nutrient sources found on earth. Because Body Balance is a whole food and liquid, your body is able to absorb 98% of its nutritional value! Your body absorbs only 20-40% of the nutritional value of powdered synthetic forms of pill vitamins on the market today. In addition, other liquid sources on the market today are also synthetic and are not considered whole foods. Body Balance is the only liquid supplement on the market that is considered a whole food and made with organic vegetation.

The benefits of Body Balance include:

• A liquid source which tastes good and is easy to use—only 1-2 capfuls per day is all it takes!
• No more multiple pill sources which are hard to swallow.
• No more random purchases for all that you need. You get it all in one whole food source!
• A 98% rate of absorption of its nutrition in the intestinal track!
• Lower overall vitamin costs—get it all in one whole food liquid source versus purchasing many pill vitamins.

To try or purchase Body Balance, contact the any of the doctors in our office. To learn more about the product come to one of our free workshops, Wednesday evenings and some Saturday mornings. Please check on the schedule.

I continue to firmly believe in a healthy diet of whole foods for proper nutrition. However, with depleted soils, pollution and high stress in today's fast-paced world, it is important to use supplementation to complete your overall wellness. Body Balance will do that for you.

Yours in health,

Dr. Ken Savage and the Chiropractic First Team
