Next, Dr. Jack discusses a study recently published from West Virginia University and Morgan State University on coffee’s positive association with better health and the potential for longer life. Apparently, people who drink 3-5 cups of coffee a day have a 10-15% lower risk of death from any cause.

In the not-so-good department, new research shows a rising number of children not spending enough time outdoors. While the digital age may play a big role in this new research, the reality is an effect of parental anxiety with parents of pre-schoolers or toddlers feating their children stray too far or climb too high.

    Optimal Brain Health

    Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, the discussion focuses on health topics that are critical of things that are in the news, and things that are not all that rare, but very common symptoms people suffer from on a regular basis. First up, the problems with starvation from malnutrition — not because of lack of food, but because of poor quality food choices. Organs are not getting the micronutrients they need because of the standard American diet. Too many processed foods, pasteurized foods, foods that have been irradiated, foods that have been sprayed here and there, and food coming from commercial farms that have virtually no nutrition in the soil are being sold in American grocery stores. The convenient access of fast foods and food-like products has become the downfall of the health of Americans when it comes to nutritional intake. Moving on to a battle of the sexes, Dr. Jack explains why women are more likely to seek medical attention and receive an early diagnosis than men do and will. On the topic of female health, Dr. Jack discusses chronic cystitis, and how it often stems from misdiagnosis, and the treatments that can help — and which treatments cause more harm than help. Rounding out the program, Doug joins Dr. Jack for a conversation on what our brain needs for optimal function, including chloride — which is part of our electrolytes, part of the ability to handle osmolarity in the system, neurotransmitter like effect. Plus, Dr. Jack shares what is the healthiest water you can drink.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
