Building A Healthy Lifestyle

The magic bean in building a healthy lifestyle is consistency.  Obliviously it is consistency with something that is beneficial toward your health.  Building a healthy lifestyle begins in childhood when life lessons are being taught and established for a lifetime to come. Building health requires that we nurture the body from the inside out.   The beginning steps of a healthy lifestyle start with exercise, nutrition and regular check-ups with your chiropractor.  The question is will you take the time to actually follow these guidelines?

The Foundation Of A Healthy Lifestyle

Let’s start with chiropractic.  Chiropractic allows the body to function at it’s best, without medication, surgery, lotion, or any potions to the body.  It is the most natural form of health care out there today and tomorrow, and for a lifetime.  As our children are growing there are certain windows of opportunity to make sure they are developing at their fullest potential.  Building health requires that we nurture the body from the inside out.  Chiropractic focuses specifically on the central nerve system which coordinates and controls all other cells in the human body.  Making health a priority begins with regular chiropractic check-ups so that your nerve system is clear and connected.  Healthy nerve system, healthy life.

Consistency

Without proper motion life can seemingly not exist.  Life is motion and motion is life.  Regular physical exercise is paramount to building a strong physical base that can withstand the impacts of life.  It is essential that you find an outlet for the stress that you endure on a day to day basis.  Go for a walk, do some yoga, life weights…whatever you find that allows you to rejuvenate your energy. Exercise is effective at reducing stress, improving immune function, lowering blood pressure, improving cardiac function, boosting energy, improving sleep, and maintaining a healthy body weight.

Improving Sports Performance

Improving Sports Performance

Improving sports performance comes with a daily grind that is inevtiable.  With practice comes the ability to outperform your expectations when the game is on line.  The top factor that can and will inhibit your sports performance is/are injuries. Whether the injury is something that just happened or is chronically reoccuring you are either prolonging the healing process or never really getting better.  When an injury occurs it creates assymetry within the body and creates dysfunction.  Your body will begin to compensate from one side to the other and utilize energy unnecesary.  Over time this will place undo stress upon certain joints and decrease your ability to perform.

Out Of “Align”

With injuries, your body is trying to heal and protect itself at the same time.  Once the protection mode is finally turned off, you actually begin the healing process.  Both of these cycles take time and both are neccesary to imrpove your sports performance.  While your body is compensating with your injury, the muscles, ligaments, and tendons will be in overdrive producing tightness, spasms and fatigue.  The injury overtime will place even more stress on your spinal region even more preventing the healing process from occuring.

Back In “Align”

Regular chiropractic check-ups ensure that your body is functioning correctly and allowing you to heal, getting you back at your top sports performance.  Chiropractic adjustments allow’s the body to heal and to adapt faster when an injury takes place.  By restoring normal function in  your nerve system the amount of inflammation can subside faster to allow normal function.  When your nerve system is hindered by spinal subluxations, you can’t express your top sports performance.  If there is misalignment of the spine, it can and will negatively affect the structure and function of other parts of your body.  Chiropractic helps you take your health to new heights!

Getting Off The Medication

Getting Off The Medication

Healthy life, healthy body, healthy mind.  Everybody was designed to be healthy and how you take care of your body is a direct relationship to your lifestyle.  Consistent use of medication should not be seen as a normal lifestyle.  Unfortunately, for many of us out there we think that there is no other alternative besides the constant use of medication.  This will suppress our bodies ability to function.  The body is a self-regulating and self-healing organism, designed to be amazing!  In a Mayo Clinic study, it was determined that roughly 70% of Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and more than half of the study are on at least two prescriptions.

The Other Side

In order to keep your body well, it is critical to maintain your spine’s alignment on a consistent basis.  The spine protects the most important entity of your entire body, the central nerve system.  Most medication attempts to directly inhibit the function of the central nerve system by limiting what and how the body can heal.  You see, the body is always going to attempt to heal and adapt to it’s environment.  This ability to adapt and heal comes through a clear and connected nerve system.  Medication does not allow the body to heal, it merely masks or covers up what the body is attempting to do.  Specific chiropractic care allows the body to restore normal function by allowing the body to heal and adapt.  Only through a clear and connected nerve system.  No medication is required, no gimmicks, no pills.

Clearing It Up

If your looking for another route besides constantly consuming medication, chiropractic is your answer.  The entire presence and function of the central nerve system is to perceive and maintain all cells of the human body.  Allow your body to heal by having your nerves checked on a regular basis to allow optimal function without the use of medication.  It is clear cut as that.

Keep Going The Distance

The amazingly constant grind that running can place on the body is a bitter-sweet deal.  Being an athlete places a toll on the body, having the ability to respond and recover to your potential is ideal.  ” I would estimate that at least 90% of world class athlete’s use Chiropractic on a regular basis to prevent injuries and to improve their performance” Sean Atkins, Exercise Physiologist.
