A Stressed-Out Childhood Could Seriously Ruin Your Child’s Brain and Overall Health

June 16, 2021

Welcome to this week’s Brain-Based Wellness News.

In today’s news we will look at the effect stress has on a child’s brain and overall health.

Researchers are discovering that ongoing stress from poverty, neglect, parents’ substance abuse and other adversities during early childhood is causing detrimental harm to children’s brains and other body systems.

Extreme stress or trauma can cause brain changes that interfere with learning, contribute to troubling behavior, and jeopardize health.
Recent studies suggest that stress changes the body’s metabolism and contributes to internal inflammation, which can raise the risk for developing adulthood diabetes and heart disease.
A healthy and functioning nervous system is very important for proper growth and development in children.
And chiropractic care has been proven to help children’s nervous system and spine grow optimally and without interference.

Get regular chiropractic checkups for the whole family, and make sure your spine and your brain are working the best they can.

Your health will be better because of it.

And that’s this week’s Brain-Based Wellness News
