What is Health?
Health is an individual feeling. To most people, it a state of being that is free from illness or injury. Some people add the mental aspect of health as being free of anxiety and tension. Another component would be to be free of any non-natural remedies to maintain health. With that concept, the need to take prescription medication would eliminate the ability to say we are “healthy”.
The body’s ability to heal itself is very powerful. With consistent growth in medical research and new drug approvals, where has the ability to heal ourselves gone? A large percentage of the American population is on at least one medication, especially the over 60 group. Is this necessary? Is this an excuse for poor lifestyle changes? Is it an alternative to taking the time to plan out our weekly menus and exercise programs? Is it a belief that the doctor is right and we don’t have any say in it.
No matter what the answer is, our body has the ability to heal itself. It just needs the right tools. The sensory input that our brains receive thousands of times/day needs to be healthy and free of interference. Slugishness is a lack of blood flow and nutrients being sent to the proper organs throughout our system.
What can increase this nerve flow to the brain and increase our circulation – the Chiropractic Adjustment. It can’t be felt or touched, but the results are expressed in decreased colds, increased energy, sleeping soundly, digesting and eliminating properly and an overall feeling of well-being.
Talk with your Chiropractor about your health, your diet, your overall exercise program and how the Chiropractic adjustment can help you maintain a drug free feeling of health.
