Parker Chiropractic Hosts Free Seminar

FloMoDiva — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:32:41 +0000

Parker Chiropractic Hosts a FREE Informative Seminar to Improve Health, Increase Energy and Shed Unwanted Weight with a Powerful 21-Day Whole Food Purification Program

Do you suffer from weight issues, muscle/joint pain, headaches, cellulite, high cholesterol, allergies, sugar cravings, digestive problems, fatigue or disrupted sleep?

If you answered, yes, to any of these, you won’t want to miss the FREE Seminar at Parker Chiropractic, this Thursday, August 26th at 6:30pm.

You will learn about purification. Practiced for centureis around the world by many cultures, purification is about cleansing and nourishing the body from the inside out. By gently removing and eliminating toxins, while feeding your body with healthy whole food nutrients, purification can facilitate weight loss, support your immune system and renew your ability to maintain optimal health.

Why should you do this 21-Day Purification?
People today simply do not eat the foods that support optimal liver function. If the liver doesn’t filter toxins appropriately – they are not eliminated, but instead are deposited in the worst places…your fat cells. You need to start with 21 days of the right foods and nutrients to get your body systems back in balance!

What can you expect?

Weight loss
Healthy blood sugar levels
Healthy cholesterol levels
Improved sleep quality

Lone Star Popcorn had its Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting this morning. Welcome to the Chamber! Thanks so much for the yummy popcorn samples. Our favorites were dill pickle, caramel, cookies & cream and puppy chow! Everyone should stop by soon to give their popcorn a try!

If you are not familiar with what just popped up in Flower Mound, read on! We have our very own Gourmet Popcorn Shop, Lone Star Gourmet Popcorn, and we can personally attest that the flavors (all 60+ of them) are to die for. Well okay, we haven’t tasted all 60 yet, but we did sample the Oreo and will surely be back for more! By the way, each of the flavors are made from scratch, with high quality ingredients, right there in the store. Will your favorite be Cheddar Cheese, White Cheddar, or Ranch…maybe Cinnamon Toast, Caramel Cashew, Butterfinger or Puppy Chow? You have to stop by, see the tubs of popcorn and sample the flavors that interest you! When you find your favorite, prices are great, starting at $1.00 for a mini bag (3 cups).

Popcorn is definitely their passion at Lone Star Popcorn, but they love candy too. You will find bins of candy from yesteryear, barrels of taffy and rows of candy jars all around the store. We counted 21 different colors of M&Ms, yards of bubble gum, countless jars of gummies and so much more!

So Pop Right into Lone Star Popcorn. Re-live Your Childhood Today!

Inside-Out Sandwiches

FloMoDiva — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:28:01 +0000

Your back-to-school recipe for this week are these inventive and fun inside-out sandwiches…perfect for lunch boxes! You can use whatever kind of lunch meats your kids like, cheese, pickles or even a carrot in the middle!

Inside-out Sandwiches

1 package (6 ounces) thin sliced ham	1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 slices of favorite cheese	8 dill pickle spears, well drained
8 slices thin sliced sandwich bread, crust removed
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Divide ham into 8 portions. Top each stack with a slice of cheese. Spread both sides of bread with mayonnaise. Place one slice of bread on each stack. If necessary, trim ham to fit bread.
Place pickle (or carrot) in center of each. Roll up tightly; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

FloMoDiva — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:00:09 +0000

School starts next week, so we thought we would do 4 weeks of Back-to-School Mealtime Monday recipes to help you start off the year with some new ideas that the kids will love for breakfast and lunch boxes! We found these recipes in Easy Back-to-School Meals by Taste of Home. We hope you enjoy them and will let us know what your kids think!

These soft and chewy treats have a hint of orange marmalade, so they’re a change of pace from the typical granola bar. Great for snacks too!

Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

4 cups quick-cooking oats	1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup packed brown sugar	3/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon of salt	3/4 cup orange marmalade
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

In a large bowl, combine th oats, brown sugar and salt. Stir in remaining ingredients. Press into a greased 15-in. x 10-in .x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
Makes about 2 1 /2 dozen.

**Idea: Pack the oatmeal bars in ziploc bags ahead of time, so in the morning, the kids can grab a bag on their way out the door for a wholesome meal on the go!

The Parker Chiropractic Wellness Center is honored to become a part of the Flower Mound community. For nearly 60 years, Parker has been helping patients across the metroplex feel better and live healthier through chiropractic wellness. Now they are in our neighborhood! The Chief Chiropractor/Supervisor at the Flower Mound Clinic is Dr. Keith Johnson, who came to Parker after running his private practice in Flower Mound for 25 years. Through postgraduate training, he is certified in Chiropractic Biophysics, Gonstead and Biocranial/TMJ Technique.

I think many of us may be in the same boat. Our understanding of Chiropractic Wellness is sketchy, at best. So what is a chiropractor? You many think they are bone doctors, but they are really nerve specialists. Here’s a little background. A spinal bone out of proper alignment puts pressure on the nerves and distorts the information traveling to and from the brain. When this happens, your brain isn’t able to tell your body how to keep itself healthy. This is why we get sick.

A chiropractor locates these misalignments and performs adjustments to “unlock” the misplaced vertebrae to remove any nervous system interference within the body so the body can do what it was designed to do. Chiropractic coupled with nutrition, exercise, diet, sleep and mental and emotional well-being help you maintain your health, naturally!

Simple enough. What can chiropractic services do for you and your family? While chiropractic is effective in treating

headaches
allergies
back pain
fibromyalgia
sports injuries
migraines
carpal tunnel
neck strain
scatica

and a number of other acute and chronic conditions, it also serves as the foundation of preventative wellness care, helping sick patients get well and healthy patients feel even better!

Your family’s health is in good hands at the Parker Chiropractic Wellness Center in Flower Mound. Their brand new, family-friendly, state-of-the-art facility allow their doctors and interns to provide superior care with the latest technologies to accompany your chiropractic wellness care, all at affordable prices. They offer private adjusting and consultation rooms where you and your doctor can discuss your Report of Findings and address any of your health concerns. They take a total wellness approach to health care by offering the chiropractic adjustments, nutritional counseling, information and even offer a wellness store to provide products to support a healthy lifestyle at home.

Health is the single most important investment you can make in yourself, and your family, so discover a care plan that nurtures health in all areas of your life.

For a limited time, Parker Chiropractic Wellness Center in Flower Mound is extending a special offer to new patients. For just $30 you can receive your initial exam which includes the following:

Comprehensive physical exam
