Recommitting to Your Goals

It wasn’t that long ago that many of us resolved to make changes in our lives. What happened?

Consider some of the traits of those who keep new, healthier habits:

They believe in their ability to change. They know that keeping old habits and forming new ones are choices that are within their control.

They don’t blame themselves or make excuses. Instead of giving up after “falling off the wagon,” they dust themselves off and recommit to their goal. They learn from their mistakes, and resolve not to repeat them.

They concentrate on measurable results. They track their progress.

They make change a long-term lifestyle decision. Diets don’t work. Abandoning unhealthy habits requires thinking long term.

If you’ve fallen out of the healthy habit of regular, holistic chiropractic care, it’s not too late! Call (714) 544-2423 to book an appointment.

Tension Headaches -

Here are some basic facts about tension (stress) headaches. They usually affect women more often than men. Generally, you feel them coming on slowly, usually in the middle of the day. You can have daily headaches or they can occur episodically. They are the most common type of headache, affecting from 30% - 80% of all adults.

We have found that the main cause of tension headaches can be traced to excess stress within the spinal cord. This spinal cord tension is often triggered by stress, fatigue, depression, certain activities in which you hold your head in the same position for a long time (such as working on a computer), anxiety, PMS or hormonal changes, repressed anger, sleeping in an abnormal position and teeth grinding.

Many who experience tension headaches rely on non-prescription medications to reduce the pain. Ironically, overuse of these drugs can actually trigger subsequent episodes of tension headaches!

Non-medical approaches may actually prove more beneficial. Read More

Breastfeeding Bonus -

Some people think there is nothing more tender than to see a mother nursing her baby, After all, contrary to our cultural fascination with breasts, that’s the real reason why nature gave women breasts!

And then…along came baby formula, “manufactured” nutrition for babies, that was marketed as “just like mothers’ milk,” and that was the end of nursing for many mothers who didn’t like the idea of being “tied down.” But how can anything but mothers’ milk be just like mothers’ milk?

It’s wonderful that so many mothers today are learning how healthy breastfeeding is for their babies and for themselves! And the benefits start right from day one!

How do babies benefit? Read More

The Stress of Business Travel

Business travel is certainly one of the trade-offs for a high-powered executive position in a nationwide or global enterprise. And while many people love to travel for pleasure – traveling for business is different.

There was a time when business travel was considered well…glamorous even! Who didn’t like to get away from the daily routine of sitting at a desk, given the opportunity to travel to a new place and see some sights in between some sporadic “ho-hum” business meetings? Well the times they are a’ changing! Now, with laptops, wireless Internet, e-mail, phones and every other type of mobile device – business travel no longer affords the busy business executive any “down” time!

And with having to arrive at airports so early to clear the myriad of security checks, delayed or cancelled flights and jet lag, who wouldn’t be stressed out by business travel? Not to mention the stress that business travel puts on the family situation and your home life!

So…what can you do about it? Read More

It’s All About Time

The Sixth Principle in Chiropractic states there is no process which does not require time, including the healing process. BJ Palmer (the developer of Chiropractic) believed that with time and clarity in the nerve system, the body could heal itself in just about any situation.

A sick cell is replaced by a healthy one – healthy cells become healthy tissues – healthy tissues become healthy organs – healthy organs make a healthy human being. The conversion from sickness to wellness is an innate process that can only be performed by the doctor within you, via a well toned nerve system.

Healing is therefore a process of RE-creating yourself, one cell at a time, over a period of time. The power that made your body is more than capable of converting you from sickness to wellness. All it needs is a clear pathway and enough sand in the hour glass to accomplish it (via theweeklysticky.com)

Good News About Chocolate!

Chocoholics take heart – literally that is! Seems that a bit of the old chocolate bar might actually be good for the ticker! Finally, a comfort food that we can all live with – in moderation of course!

Several studies have concluded that the flavonoids in dark chocolate may actually be beneficial to your health in numerous ways. These studies don’t exactly suggest that you run out and consume five or six bars of chocolate! Certainly not, given that the sugar and fat content of most chocolate would actually have a detrimental effect on your health.

However, various research studies, conducted in the U.S. and Switzerland, have concluded that chocolate flavonoids give short bursts of energy to the brain and are useful in combating fatigue and sleep deprivation. In fact, they may even counter the effects of aging, such as dementia, because they increase the flow of blood to the brain! Read More
