Exercise and Breathing



            Another weekend of bad weather, seems to be becoming a habit. I hope that everyone survived the ice without slips and falls. If you did though, come in to the office to be aligned correctly so that the problem doesn’t develop into worse issues this spring, when you really want to be outside and enjoying life. We see this very often in every year, when people fall in January or February and then come in to the office in April or May with big problems and pain. It can take several months for these misalignments to work into swelling and weakness. Get checked soon, even if you haven’t fell!
            January is moving right along and we are already into the 3rd week. Don’t forget to listen to our health shop tonight at 6. Will we will be talking about exercise and breathing. I’ve included an article that talks about doing Burpees as an easy exercise to shape up with. We also have patients just try to walk every day or every other day to simply keep them moving. Many people start out with big ideas on exercise at the beginning of the year but the ambition tapers off after a couple of months. That’s understandable with the increased activities of spring. It’s just good to get into a simple exercise habit that you can do all year round. And you don’t have to overdo it, like run marathons, but just stay active and moving.

            We have several great tools now to check patients on their health status. Our heart rate variability test gives us a good understanding of the autonomic nervous system and how it is working. We also have the heart sound recorder which can check the condition of the heart itself by listening to the valves work. We are also bringing online some new testing equipment in our exam room to further evaluate our patient’s conditions and improvements with our 3 types of treatment, chiropractic-nutrition-emotional. As you can imagine, we are having great success with helping patients be healthy and happy and at optimum, not just pain free, but truly healthy. We want so much to help you and yours stay out of the medical paradigm of drugs and surgery and high expense.

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...
  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
