The Chiropractors Health Guide to Keep Yourself in Tip Top Shape!

  • A positive mental attitude. Yeah, it’s that serious.

  • Regular chiropractic care to maintain normal body balance & spine-related nerve integrity. You must stay in adjustment all your life. If you are not free from nerve pressure, you will not be healthy. The essence of health is allowing the body to function normally. Without a normal nerve supply (the controlling factor) health is impossible.

  • An unrefined and natural food diet. The body needs good and wholesome food to produce good and healthy tissue. It has also been said that come people eat to live and others live to eat. Being overweight will only make it hard, if not impossible, to hold your adjustment while overtaxing your heart, legs and most importantly your spine and spinal nerves. If you are having difficulty maintaining your ideal weight, ask us for diet suggestions that will help. Avoid white sugar, white flour, salt, artificial colors and flavors and preservatives.

  • Plenty of fresh air, sunshine and rest. The need for sleep varies for the individual between 7 and 9 hours. You should sleep on a good supportive mattress with a feather pillow. Never on your stomach.

  • Good elimination with cleansing diet and fasting when needed. Good health is manifested by a joyous sense of wellbeing on spiritual, mental, physical and social levels with adaptation to the environment. There must be no interference with normal functions of any of the body systems - nerve, muscular, skeletal, respiratory, vascular, lymphatic, genitor-urinary, endocrine, reproductive, digestive, eliminative, etc. On the local scene, each individual tissue cell requires good nerve supply of nutrients and circulation into the cell and efficient removal of metabolic wastes and foreign synthetic chemicals out of the cell. All body systems, organs and tissue cells must also function in a harmonious relationship with each other to establish and maintain rhythmic cycles of health. Malfunctions in any of these areas may be a forerunner or basic cause of disease by lowering tissue cell integrity to allow infective or degenerative processes to take over. Good health is no accident. By encouraging better living habits and regular chiropractic health care, chiropractors are in a unique position to guide the public toward positive buoyant health.

  • Regular exercise - as vigorous as possible. Some of the best exercises are the easiest and most fun:

    • Walking a mile a day (take a dog with you?)

    • Swimming for an hour (3 times weekly or more)

    • Riding a bicycle daily

    • Walking the golf course
