Based on a recent study published by the Knoxville News Sentinel, Knoxville residents were named the "oldest" in the nation based on a lifestyle survey that calculated the body's health age. Realage.com, created by Drs. Oz and Roizen, is responsible for the results. Realage.com is a website which calculates your true body age based on your level of health.

The actual average age of a Knoxvillian is 33 years old, however because of our lack of concern for our health, we have been deemed as the oldest city in the United States. I don't know about you but I find this very upsetting. According to the study, we live in a region with the "highest prevalence of obesity, inactivity and diabetes." It is time for us to wake up, Knoxville!

What can we do about this? We have got to help people understand that our bodies are a wonderful creation, but they will not function properly if they are abused. Our bodies are machines and machines need maintenance. We need to fuel them properly (with nutrient rich foods and adequate water intake), condition them to perform properly (with regular exercise) and ensure that our brain is able to send the proper signals to the rest of the body (by getting regular Chiropractic adjustments). Chiropractic care helps the body maintain its natural ability to communicate these signals to the other organs, tissues, and cells in the body by removing any interference in the Central Nervous System.

If you were to test your true body age what would it reveal? I don't believe that our Creator ever intended for us to abuse His most prized creation the way that we have. It is time to make a change.

Recent reports from CNN Money show that annual healthcare costs are on the rise. The average family of four will spend between $10,000 - $19,000 annually on "healthcare costs" (by paying Insurance Premiums, Deductibles, and copayments for frequent sick visits and prescriptions). Don't let your family fall into this statistic! The average annual cost of Chiropractic care for a family of four is between $1,500 - $2,500. Studies prove that routine Chiropractic care allows for a strong immune system making visits to your Primary Care Physician far less frequent. Chiropractic care is also a wonderfully effective way to prevent ear or strep infections and the common cold or flu. Don't wait another day! Isn't it about time you discovered Chiropractic?

In the early 1950's Winifred Gardella was a poster child for the March of Dimes. Her picture was published in the newspapers to raise huge sums of money for the March of Dimes in San Francisco. Nationally, her image raised millions of dollars to help fight the dreaded crippler, polio. Her sad, innocent face and her tiny body supported on crutches and leg braces, made many Americans reach into their pocets to donate.

But the March of Dimes couldn't help Winifred. After tow and half years under their medical doctor's expert care her parents were: "There is no hope."

Despite this dire prediction, her grandparents were determined to find a cure. They were not about to accept the opinion of so-called "medical experts." They decided to choose their own health care and they took Winifred to Dr. Lewis Robertson, a chiropractor. In less than six months of having her nerve interference corrected, Winifred Gardella therw away her crutches and braces and went for a walk with her chiropractor. She has been walking ever since!
