How does your daily diet stack up?Our current state of health is alarming, would you not agree? Let me share some key points how Americans stack up.

Facts:

• 1Starbucks spends more on healthcare than on coffee beans
• 2General Motors spends more on healthcare than on steel
• 3Alabama has imposed a fat tax, with other states to follow
• 4USA ranks 74th in the World in health out of 191 countries
• 5USA consumes 40% of the world’s pharmaceuticals
• 6Americans spend more on healthcare than housing and food
• 7Obesity is growing with the USA being the biggest in the world.  Obesity is a nutritional problem not a calorie problem.
• 8Diabetes has risen 700% over the last decade
• 9Ask not what the government can do for you, but what you can do for yourself and your family to maintain optimal health
• 10Nutrition is the key to optimal health. The healthier you are; the better you perform, the better you think, & the better you feel. You have a choice.

We have some problems don’t we? Do you think these issues are going to improve over the next few years? Probably not. The bottom line is how your current state of health is and how you plan to stay healthy, at optimal health for yourself and your family.
So how do you change? How do you choose? At Hoffman Chiropractic Neurology, we are on the cutting edge of the latest in nutritional science and technology. We have aligned ourselves with the best in research. Our focus is healthy cells make healthy bodies. We look at cellular level, and what is needed here. This is called micro nutrition.
Let’s face it we don’t get the necessary nutrients in our basic American diet of fast foods.
