There’s nothing like a life full of happiness.  Part of that comes from what we give our body to be happy with.  Besides our thoughts, food is one of the best ways to impact how our body feels and how we relate to the world.   What our body needs are foods that carry life in them, fresh foods that have a variety of color, texture, flavor and character.  

This enables our cells to metabolize the nutrients more effectively.  Most foods available as fast-foods carry too many calories and a skewed amount of fat compared to the protein available, which requires more work for the body to break them down and yields more fuel than what is needed.  So in essence, the food that keeps us feeling light, happy and inspired are the ones we should eat and the foods that weigh us down and make us feel guilty should be the ones we should avoid eating too much of.  It really is a decision of how you live your life and what you want out of life.  

• Start every day and end every night with a “Thank You”.

• Use your God-given gifts, doing so ensures a smile, inside-out.

• Have a purpose and strive to learn something new every day.

• Look for the magnificence in your life and it will always be there.

• Find inspiration all around you and you will live an inspired life.

• Carry love with you wherever you go and most importantly, share it.

One of the secrets to living a health life is to keep moving.  This applies to our mind as well as our body  Surprisingly, there are still a few people that don’t recognize chiropractic as a key element in maintaining their health.  For those people that do realize, you rock!! For everyone else, it’s time.  Chiropractic is about fine-tuning how your body works, particularly how the nervous system expresses our natural cellular programming.  Every bit of information carried through your body is, in some way, the responsibility of our nervous system.  With that in mind, it is logical to realize that besides the brain itself, all of this cellular communication must pass through the spinal nerves coming from the spinal column.

The purpose of the chiropractic adjustment is to bring the body into balance.  By removing the interference on the spinal nerves by carefully repositioning the vertebrae allows the nerves to properly carry the signals to and from the brain without any irritation from nearby pressure of a bone, muscle or scar tissue from a previous injury.  This method of treatment requires years of training and years of experience to know which bones represent the primary subluxation and which are compensatory.  Always ask your chiropractor to see your x-rays and have them explain this to you.  

Regular adjustments to the spine can make you feel younger and strengthen your immune system due to their natural ability to activate the joint mechanoreceptors (that control posture and support) and inhibit nociceptors (pain receptors).  In doing this, the adjacent musculature and related blood vessels can rid the body of metabolic wastes and carry in fresh nutrients and immune cells.  Chiropractic care is just as important as drinking water, so there you go – get out there and get adjusted, you need it.
