Important Keys to Great Health!
“If you want to have an average life, do what average people do.
If you want to have an extraordinary life, don’t do what the average people do!”
Being a Chiropractor for the past 16 years has given me the opportunity to see many thousands of patients from newborns to people on their death beds. Through my years of training while in school and post graduate education as well as clinical experience, I have found out many keys that contribute to a vibrant lifestyle of being truly healthy and well.
In this post, I have put together four of what I feel are the most effective key points if you wish to have an extraordinary life. Please ponder these four key tips and if you like to discuss these in further depth I would be more than happy to help you achieve an extraordinary lifestyle.
The first key is Structure, In anything, structure comes before function. If a spine is misaligned or segments don’t move properly, the function of everything served by that area (where the nerves come off the spinal cord) will be less than fully functional. BE AWARE, Pain is not always present when dysfunction begins to quietly set in.
In November 1921, Henry Windsor, MD, Medical Times,
The Evidences of the Association, in Dissected Cadavers, of Visceral Disease with Vertebral Deformities of the Same Sympathetic Segments
It was found that 49 of 50 cadavers who exhibited abnormal curvatures and deformities from spinal dysfunction had correlated diseased organs (138 of 139) of the same sympathetic or adjacent segment.
Abnormal spinal curvatures precede old age and to cause old age. Visceral diseases and pathology can be traced back to the segmental levels of sympathetic involvement with nearly 100% correlation.
Chiropractic adjusting of the spine improves structure and function and slows the progression of Spinal pathology.
The second key is Nutritional / Biochemical: Everything affects your chemistry. That includes the foods you eat, the vitamins or supplements you take, your hormonal system, your mineral balance, your hydration level and the quality of the liquids you consume.
Unless you consume 80% raw food diet you should take enzymes with your meal. Enzymes assist the body in digestion, assimilation and elimination. Probiotics is the next necessary group of nutrients EVERYONE NEEDS. We must digest our food with the help of enzymes that process and detoxify at the intestinal level. There have been over 500 good bacteria identified in the gut.
Proper gut bacteria aids many body functions from B complex formation, to digestion, to proper elimination, and immune protection. Over 60% of the body’s immune system is in the gut.
Multi-vitamins, enzymes, probiotics and essential fatty acids taken daily help to replenish your system and balance deficiencies and inadequacies and help rebuild your body with the proper building blocks.
The third key is Allergies and Sensitivities: More and more people are becoming at odds with nature and substances that exist on planet earth at this point in time.
Our immune systems become over-reactive, but they can be re-set to be in proper harmony.
As stated earlier, the gut is responsible for most allergic reactions. When the gut lining begins to weaken a condition of “Leaky Gut” appears and this is what creates many allergies and sensitivities as we get older.
Strengthening the gut and reducing inflammation are key to resetting the natural balance.
The fourth key is Toxins: This is an important buzz word.
Heavy metals, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, industrial pollution, auto exhaust, etc. are serious problems and are shortening our life span and causing dis-ease daily.
Detoxification is a must in everyday life now. All detoxification processes in the body are nutrition dependent. A patient may show a need for a liver or total systemic detoxification, or show a need for specific organ support to the liver or kidneys. He/she may need nutritional support to add enough energy to get the job done or antioxidants may be necessary to help against breakdown from free-radicals.
Everyone should detoxify their bodies at least twice a year for several months to keep it operating at its peak efficiency
THE GOOD NEWS!
We have procedures to address all 4 of the Interferences to Health mentioned above.
Some folks may be 40% Structural imbalances and 20 % Toxic with a little of this and a little of that thrown in.
Some just need a quick adjustment to realign their spine, reduce pain and improve nerve energy to the rest of their bodies. Others need nutritional support to help get them back to their vibrant self.
Whatever stage of health you are in we can quickly get to the problem and get you back to feeling your best.
