Hi this is Oakdale, MN Chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana, I just found this interesting article in the Doctor’s Resource Center of our Website. The article looks at the benefits of following the current recommendations for the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
Research from Sweden suggests the standard “five-a-day” recommendation for servings of vegetables and fruit is a good goal. The good news is that even if you don’t quite hit this mark, you can still reap benefits from including any amount of these foods in your diet.

Hi this is Oakdale, MN Chiropractor Dr. Ben Smetana and I recently found this great article in the Doctor’s Resource Center of our website. The article talks about the benefits of using a wide variety of probiotic strains to improve IBS symptoms.
When things go wrong in the gut, the micro-organisms that live there are usually involved. Repopulating the gut with specific strains of friendly bacteria has been found to help some people with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and there is growing evidence that a taking a mixture of probiotic species may also relieve symptoms.
