Kids Day 2002 Wrap-Up

Question from Portland Metro Chiropractors:
What happens to your brain and neck when you fall on your head?
Answer:
- The brain may be bruised.
- The neck may be warped.
- Bad chemicals in processed food may break through the blood-brain barrier and kill brain cells.
* Helmets, chiropractic, good nutrition and avoiding junk food are keys to preventing injury and promoting a healthy nervous system.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), aspartame (NutraSweet) and similar substances, known as excitotoxins, can cause harm to the brain and nervous system.
There is a relationship between excitotoxins and neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), ADD, ADHD and others.
