Chiropractic, inflammation and health from a natural approach
In the Dr. Marc Bony Chiropractic Center, DC, we understand health from an essential principle:
the body is intelligent, self-regulating and adapts when the nervous system functions without interference.
For this reason, in addition to taking care of the spine and nervous system, we give a fundamental role to health education. There are many nutritional myths that have been normalized for years and that generate constant stress in the organism without people being aware of it.
One of the most common is related to fats, cooking oils and cardiovascular health.
The origin of the myth about oils and fats
For decades, a very simplified message has been conveyed:
- Saturated fats are dangerous
- Butter, eggs and red meat should be avoided.
- Vegetable and seed oils are “heart healthy”.”
- Cooking with refined oils is better for your health
From the vision chiropractic, This approach ignores something fundamental: how the body and nervous system responds to the stimuli it receives on a daily basis.
Not everything that looks healthy on a label is healthy for our actual physiology.
What happens in the body when certain oils heat up
Not all fats react in the same way to heat.
Many highly processed seed oils are unstable when heated. When cooking with them-especially at high temperatures or when reusing them-they can oxidize and generate compounds that the body interprets as a form of internal stress.
This stress can influence:
- The inflammatory response of the organism
- Vascular health
- The load on the autonomic nervous system
From chiropractic we understand that chronic inflammation is not a disease in itself, but a sign of forced adaptation of the body.
Nervous system, inflammation and adaptive capacity
The nervous system regulates key functions such as digestion, metabolism, circulation and recovery.
When the body continuously receives irritating stimuli - unstable oils, ultra-processed foods or chronic stress - the nervous system goes into survival mode, not repair mode.
This reduces the body's ability to:
- Self-regulating correctly
- Adapt efficiently
- Maintaining a healthy internal balance
So, from a chiropractic approach, what you cook with is as important as what you eat.
A nutritional approach consistent with human biology
Instead of following fads or fear-based messages, we recommend a more body-friendly approach:
- Prioritize heat-stable fats
- Choosing real and minimally processed foods
- Reduce constant interference with physiology.
Fats such as coconut oil or grass-fed butter (ghee) are more stable during cooking and less prone to oxidation, which generates less inflammatory stress for the body when used with common sense.
It is not about extremes or prohibitions, but about supporting the body so that it can do what it does best: adapt and self-regulate.
Chiropractic, nutrition and long term health
Many nutritional myths persist not because they are correct, but because they are convenient or profitable.
In chiropractic we do not work from fear or from the imposition, but from the observation of how the body improves when interference is removed and the nervous system can express itself freely.
Real health is not based on labels, but on biological coherence, adaptation and balance of the nervous system.
What you can start doing today
It is not necessary to change everything at once. Small adjustments can make a big difference:
- Check the oils you use for cooking
- Avoid reheating refined seed oils.
- Prioritize real food
- Take care of your nervous system with rest, movement and a well-aligned spine.
When the nervous system functions without interference, the body is better able to adapt, recover and express health.
