Are You Stuck ?

Smith Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center Andrew Smith, DC 12300 Alternate A1A Suite 119 Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 561-625-1993 Are You Stuck?  I saw something absurd the other day.  A highly engineered and specially designed high-performance race car stuck on a 35 mile-an-hour downtown street. That is not what that car was made for.  That is not what the creator(Enzo Ferrari) envisioned for it.  This 6-speed, F140 Aluminum V12, 4700cc engine with 660hp was built to go 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and race at 217 miles an hour (2010 specs).  But here it is.... stuck. I see this absurity every day.  But not only in the streets-in office cubicles, conference rooms, huddled behind computer screens, and dragging luggage through airports. People who were specially engineered and designed with special talents, skills and abilities who are traveling down the wrong road, with their potential stuck in first gear; trapped and unable to race.  That is not what their creator had envisioned for them either. Are you... 1. STUCK? Traveling down the wrong road?  Are you overweight, not exercising, dealing with constant pain, or feeling boxed in on the slow lane?  is it keeping you from being able to get out of first gear and challenge your greater abilities? Sometimes it's not the car; its the road the car is on. 2. TRAVELING WITH PINTOS? Are you going slow because you are keeping pace with ordinary cars, when you were designed for racing? Sometimes it's not the car; it's the cars it travels with. 3. ARE YOU EVEN AWARE THAT YOU ARE A RACE CAR?  You were specially engineered and designed for speed... to race.  You were built for greatness.  I'm not kidding.  You are a miracle of machinery. Yes , you... the one reading this.  It's likely you have never even experienced half of what your top speed is. Sometimes it's not the car; it's the one given the responsibility to drive it. If you ever really gripped the wheel, braced your neck and punched the pedal with all your might... the awesomeness of your innate potential will shock and exhilarate you. Punch it NOW!!  Discipline Determines your Destiny!!!!  So come in and get a tune-up and get your car on the right road!   Smith Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center | 561-625-1993 | www.drsmithchiropractic.com

What is Surge Training??



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





This weeks article is from an up and coming health and fitness chiropractor in Tennessee, Dr. Josh Axe.



There are three types of exercise:

Strength/ Resistance training

Cardio/ Aerobic training

Flexibility/ Stability training

Strength/ Resistance training

The primary hormone response invoked by this training is elevated levels of Human Growth Hormone. This hormone is essential for fat metabolism. It also signals fat burning enzymes and aids in muscle mass development. HGH levels are raised during sleep, in direct proportion to exercise intensity during your workout.

Strength training will improve your glucose tolerance and increase insulin receptor sensitivity. This type of exercise also creates a bigger metabolic after burn than aerobic training, while also increasing fat free muscle, bone density and metabolism.

Cardio/ Aerobic training

There are many benefits associated with cardio and aerobic training, but also some negatives. Cardio training will lower your resting heart rate, lower blood pressure, keep your brain young by increasing circulation to the brain and aids in detoxification by stimulating the lymphatic system. Long distance running, however, decreases testosterone levels, decreases the immune system post exercise, and raises the stress hormone level (Cortisol). Increased levels of cortisol stimulates the appetite, will increase fat storing and slow down or inhibit exercise recovery.

So how do we get the benefits without the negatives?

Surge training

Surge training involves exercising at 90%-100% of your maximum effort. For 30-60 seconds in order to burn your body’s stored sugar (glycogen), followed by 30-60 seconds of low impact for recovery. This causes your body to burn fat for the next 36 hours to replace your body vital energy (glycogen) stores.

You only need to do 4-6 sets of 30-60 second bursts 3 times a week to see marked changes and improvements. More is not always better. Make sure you have a day in between for rest. Some of you are very happy with this information!!

Yours in good health,

Dr. Andrew H. Smith

Can patients with arthritis receive chiropractic care?

Can patients with arthritis receive chiropractic care?


Patients who suffer from the various forms of arthritis may get significant results from chiropractic. Depending on the patient, results may vary. However, by keeping the spinal joints moving freely, the stiffness and pain associated with arthritis can be minimized. If your doctor deems it necessary, a referral to another health care provider may be suggested. Additionally, studies show that those who enjoy chiropractic from a younger age reduce their risk of osteoarthritis later in life.
