Do you have a to-do list? I do. On it is to make a headboard for the bed we built 3 years ago. And, it's been on the to-do list for 3 years. In preparation for our recent vacation when we had 100 things on my to-do list, I asked Daniel, "What am I forgetting?" He said, "To finish the headboard." I thought, well that's the last thing we have to do to get ready!

Point is, some things always seem to be on the to-do list but never get done. Are these things really important? Sometimes yes, very important. Most people have to "lose 10 pounds" or "go see Dr. Kuty" or "begin stretching everyday" and other similiar health goals on the to-do list. They're on the list because you know you eventually want to do them, but they aren't on your action plan list to get them done now!

Don't put your health on a far off to-do list! You can't go get that time back! Your body is working for you everyday with or without your health attentiveness. My lack of headboard won't be the difference between life and death, ease and disease, function and lack of function. Getting your health to-dos done will!

Don't wait, call today and begin that path to health! 480-945-7800. Dr. Jolene Kuty, Kuty Chiropractic

You probably didn't know this!

2009-08-10T16:50:00.000-07:00

Chiropractic works on feet!!! I love to help people with foot, ankle, and leg pain and dysfunction. The average decrease in bunion pain after 6 chiropractic visits is 74%! (Clinical Chiropractic, 2005) Can you believe it! If you've ever had foot pain then you know that's amazing! Most people shuffle around looking at fancy foot braces or trying cortisone shots without treating the true causes of their pain. I get into the 26 bones of the foot and move each joint and stretch and relax the muscles and fascia to create happy, dancing feet.

Proper shoes help sustain your new-found happy feet. Look for these characteristics in a good shoe:

A wide toe box or square toe with enough room for all 5 toes.
Arch support and a cushioned insert for bounce and shock absorption. No cardboard flat bottoms or flip flops.
A heel cup wraps around and helps stabilize your ankle preventing falls and foot degeneration.
A strap that goes over your midfoot or a fully laced shoe to keep your foot in and decrease strain on the toes and metatarsal pad.

Most insurances cover chiropractic care for the whole body including your tootsies so that you can live pain free, happy and healthy! Call today to schedule with Dr. Kuty and next time you see your friends rubbing their feet or limping around, tell them, you know the secrets to happy feet!

A FATTER United States! ...FREE giveaway!

2009-07-06T12:59:00.000-07:00

Can you believe that in 1991 NO state had an obesity rate of over 20% but now ONLY ONE state is under 20%!?! (can you guess which one?...keep reading) Six states had obesity rates over 30% (who did the worst?)! An average of 26.1% of American adults are obese! Not one single state lowered its obesity percentage! I think it's time we fought back. We have to change our thinking about how we live. We need to energize our lives with movement, nutrition, water, and a healthy emotional balance!

Remember a few key points:
1) Act now! Motivation later!
I just read a funny article where the gentleman said he was doing his yoga preparation... for 2 months! Just act, you'll feel better when you're done.
2) Health is not destination.
Being healthy is an everyday choice. Did you get adjusted today? Did you exercise? Did you encourage and motivate others? Did you drink water? Did you take your Biotics ProMulti vitamin-mineral complex? Did you eat healthy? etc. Everyday you should re-commit to YOURSELF!
3) We're here to help! Call and schedule a nutritional appointment to set your action plan in motion! 480-945-7800! AND- if you're a good candidate for our meal replacement Take Shape for Life Program, we'll give you up to 2 weeks totally FREE! Act now and find out more.

Childhood obesity has tripled since 1980. Include your children, friends, and family in your health revolution. Encourage them, challenge them, build a team! Did you know there are more people with obesity than people with hunger in Africa?

Try this healthy new recipe from Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook Deceptively Delicious.
Tofu Nuggets:
cut up extra firm tofu into cubes and dip them into a puree of 2 bunches of washed, de-stemmed, wilted spinach combined with one beaten egg. Then dip them into one cup panko mixed with flaxmeal (I used about 3 tsbps), 2 tbsp parmasean cheese, and paprika (I used ~1/2 tsp). Cook them in a pan at med-high in 1 tbsp of olive oil until they are brown on all 4 sides. They are delicious! And, her book has some other very interesting, heathy recipes.

State with the lowest obesity: Colorado 18.9%
State with the highest obesity: Mississippi 32.5%
27th: Arizona 24.8%

Obese Americans Outnumber the Overweight
The number of obese American adults now outweighs the overweight, according to the federal government National Center for Health Statistics. More than 35% are obese and 32.7% are overweight. Jay Leno teased, "If 67% are overweight, doesn't that make them average!" Unfortunately, obesity is burden for so many. Did you know that our patients have lost about 400 pounds since August!!! We have 2 main nutritional paths for patients- our Medifast meal replacement program and an individualized one-on-one nutritional counseling program with Dr. Kuty. You don't even have to be local to sign up with our Medifast plan! Whatever your needs, don't wait start your path to health today, call us at 480-945-7800 for more information.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care

You may have seen the positive article in USA Today about the increased use of chiropractic for children. Pediatric chiropractic care is about helping keep kids healthy. At Kuty Chiropractic we see kids to help with ear infections, colic, and digestive problems, as well as, when they are sick or have had injuries. Help your kids with chiropractic care!

D3 for Bone Health

With the shine shining so brightly in Arizona you might think we get enough Vitamin D but, as the heat rises people tend to stay indoors. Low Vitamin D has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, most cancers, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, autism, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, and frequent infections, cold and flu. Low Vit D3 also promotes the expression of chronic pain, bone pain, joint and muscle pain, and fibromyalgia. D3 can be supplemented without increased risk of skin cancer with as little as one drop under the tongue a day. A 6 month supply is less than $20 at Kuty Chiropractic! Give your body a little internal sunshine, stop by at pick up some D3!

Eat much Mercury today?

2009-02-20T07:49:00.000-08:00

Kuty Chiropractic

1. E-NEWS ALERT: Mercury contamination!

2. Sleep Better Naturally Lecture

3. A Quiz: "Which is Safe?"

1. MERCURY in food!

A new report by the nonprofit Institute for Agriculture and Trade policy shows that some food with high fructose corn syrup contains mercury. There was detectable mercury in 17 of the 55 sampled foods, 31%. These were common items at your grocery- Quaker Oatmeal to Go bars, Jack Daniel's Barbecue Sauce, Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, Nutri-Grain Strawberry Cereal Bars, Manwich Gold Sloppy Joe, Hunt's Tomato Ketchup, Smucker's Strawberry Jelly, Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt, and the list goes on.

The report doesn't prove the mercury came from the high fructose corn syrup but that's most likely. Mercury can be used to make caustic soda, used to made the high fructose corn syrup. The Corn Refiners Association says that's outdated technology and the study researcher, Wallinga, says 90% of U.S. made is mercury free but, "the problem is that we don't actually know where our companies are buying their high fructose corn syrup from... it's a global industry."

At Kuty Chiropractic we recommend to decrease all packaged foods and eat naturally. There's no high fructose corn syrup in oranges!

3. Eating Fresh- Recipe

Going by what's on sale in the produce section is a fast way to figure out what's in season. Try this seasonal recipe from my kitchen for Mexican Soup. (serves about 6 hefty bowls).

28oz can of unsalted undrained diced tomatoes

1 cup water

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups beef broth

one large chopped onion

add all to a pot

then throw whatever you've got in a blender... 16 oz undrained diced tomato with your choice of green onion, cucumber, broccoli, mushroom, celery, carrots, peppers, lettuce (whatever is in the veggie drawer). Add in a little broth from the pot to give enough fluid to blend. Also add in some spice depending on your heat tolerance (jalapeno pepper, chili sauce, Tabasco, cayenne pepper). This makes a homemade "V8"

Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes

MEANWHILE dice 2-3 chicken breasts and cook them (I throw them in a fry pan on the stove at medium high heat). Once done throw in the pot.

To the pot add:

One each diced Mexican squash, yellow squash and zucchini (all are the same shape, same spot in the store, different colors. You can use all the same if you like.)

8 oz frozen corn

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp black pepper

then boil and simmer another 10 minutes

YUMMY! Serve with shredded cheese, cilantro, and avocado on top.

Very easy actually, very nutritious, and delicious!

Holiday tips & Free Seminars

2008-12-10T09:55:00.000-08:00

All of us at Kuty Chiropractic hope you and your families will have a wonderful, healthy holiday season. Here are some great health tips & upcoming events for you.

1. Free Stretch Seminar

2. Chocolate & Blood Pressure

3. Obesity & Airline Costs

4. Free Weight Loss Seminar for 2009

1. The Top Ten Stretches You Need to Know

This Saturday, December 13th at Sunflower Market. Wear stretching clothes. RSVP to Kuty Chiropractic, 480-945-7800.

10 a.m. at Tempe Sunflower (McClintock & Southern)

12 p.m. at Scottsdale Sunflower (Miller & Camelback)

2. Chocolate and Blood Pressure

Mild high blood pressure, or hypertension, was decreased by a little dark chocolate, 5 points systolic, and 2 points diastolic. Polyphenols in dark chocolate (and in red wine) were considered responsible. Journal of American Medical Association, Aug 2003.

Choose healthy dark chocolates with high cocoa and minimal ingredients. I prefer dark Ghirardelli 60% and up.

3. Hidden Costs of Obesity

Obesity is a major factor of airline cost increases in the last 10-20 years. In the '90s, passenger weight increased on average 10 pounds. The fuel required to keep this extra weight aloft cost airlines $275 million in 2000. The extra 350 million gallons of fuel burned released 3.8 million additional tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. CDC, Nov 2004.

Fly safely by stretching before, during, and after flights to prevent deep vein thrombosis, stiffness, and pain. Avoid gaining weight during holiday season by increasing your exercise and watching your portions. Most of all skip the daily sweets.

4. Free Weight Loss Seminars

The Economy = Prosperity?

2008-11-21T14:14:00.001-08:00

Would you say that you are prosperous right now? What do you think of to answer this question? Most think of their ailing portfolios, job security, and mortgage payments, but what about your health! Remember that your #1 investment is YOURSELF!

Taking care of yourself saves you money. Prevention costs little be it a quality multi-vitamin, well check chiropractic appointment, or even a walk around the block. Taking care of problems as they begin can also save you money.

Increase your health by quitting smoking- the money you'll save may equal a mortgage payment! Join our weight loss program. You may find that reducing your weight decreases your need for high blood pressure, diabetes, and over the counter medications- saving your health care dollars! Eat fresh fruits and veggies and bring your lunch to work. This will increase your nutrients and decrease your fast food and restaurant spending.

There are so many ways to save money and increase your health! The stock market may go up and down but your individual prosperity can be sky high!

Don't procrastinate... call today and schedule an appointment to come in!

Nutrition to Vertebral Discs

2008-10-29T12:43:00.002-07:00

Chiropractic adjustments help maintain proper spinal MOTION and one main benefit is proper NUTRITIONAL flow to and from the discs of your spine. Nutrients suspended in fluid (made from water) surround your spine and help maintain proper disc height. These discs act as SHOCK ABSORBERS. Without proper motion, the disc material does not get oxygen, glucose (healthy sugar), and other required nutrients. The lack of proper nutrient flow is the beginning of the decay process of the spine. This decay causes arthritis, osteoporosis, nerve damage, and tissue damage. Maximize your health with chiropractic care!

BPA: Bisphenol A

2008-10-29T12:43:00.001-07:00

Living Healthy!
BPA: Bisphenol A
I've seen BPA pop up on the major TV networks. This is not a new problem, just a new news story. BPA makes plastics soft and is used in many of our commercial products such as baby bottles, water bottles, DVDs, and most of our household containers. It's use has been banned or regulated in most European countries because BPA leaks into the containers contents. It’s heightened by heating the plastic or putting hot or acidic contents into the plastic. BPA plastics are sometimes marked with the non-recyclable 7 symbol. This week’s study showed 93% of people contain traces of BPA. Those persons with the highest levels had twice the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Buy BPA free products, especially those for babies. Use glass containers for left-over and to-go food. Don’t heat food with plastic wrap or in plastic containers. Exercise and healthy eating along with hydration and multi-vitamin & multi-mineral supplementation help fight the negative effects of these and other toxins. Talk to Dr. Kuty about a specific health program to detoxify and increase your health potential.

Amazing Shoes!

2008-10-29T12:41:00.000-07:00

Today's society is extremely high fashion and style conscious but looking your best may not always be the best thing for you. Runway models have perfected the "walk" but for most of us, popular shoes can create foot, leg, back, and neck problems.

High heels alter the balanced position of the body and change the weight distribution in the foot. This increases the normal forward curve of the back and neck and causes the pelvis to tip forward. This encourages your hamstrings to shorten. And, these imbalances increase your chances of toe problems, heel and foot pain, and bunions.

I recommend looking for a shoe with a supportive sole that has some give. A good arch support helps too. Your toes are not symmetric so look for a wide toe box with space for all your toes. And last, look for a heel support in back and strap support across the ankle. Following these tips, you can be fashion forward and health smart.

Did you know that we work on foot problems in our office? We adjust the bones in the feet to help alignment and have many techniques to work on the muscles and other tissues in the foot. Many of our patients have been helped with foot pain, plantar fascitis, and foot neuropathies.
