Helping You Live a Healthy Life!
Resolutions for a Healthy 2006
When the New Year
rolls around, our focus and thoughts turn to resolutions and goals for the
next year. We look at aspects of our life that we can improve or work
on as we go forward. One of the ways we do this is to look back
at what we didn’t accomplish over the past year. Sometimes as we do
this, we end up beating ourselves up for past failures. Let’s reverse
our thinking and look at the positive things we did in 2005.
People are
generally too hard on themselves. When setting a new goal, they see the
person who didn’t lose the 25 pounds or become independently wealthy.
While looking at the glass that is half empty can motivate us, it is
important to acknowledge the part that is half full as well.
I would encourage
you to sit down and make a list of the good things you accomplished in
2005. Did you run a 5 km race, donate to a local charity or the
Tsunami/Katrina relief fund or take a vacation with your family? Make
sure the list is at least 20 items long. Be brave and try for 100
things. It may take a while, but look for the things you did do this year.
Do this before you
start your resolutions for this year. Be proud of and acknowledge your
accomplishments. Celebrate yourself before you jump into what you want to do
in the future. Chances are there is a lot to celebrate!
Question of the Month
Why would I want to keep going to a chiropractor even after I
feel better?
Continuing to be under
chiropractic care has many benefits whether you have symptoms or not. Your
spine is the main support for your nervous system. Messages that run and
manage your health originate and travel over the nervous system. Low-grade
misalignments of your spine don’t cause pain but can disrupt those messages,
causing a downward spiral in your health. Regular chiropractic adjustments
remove the low-grade misalignments. Your body can better manage your health
and wellness when the messages get through clearly. You can enjoy a healthier
lifestyle. Skiing a full day, completing the round of golf and picking up
your grandkids can be performed with greater ease. Stick with your care even
after you “feel” better.
Health News
Sydney researchers explain how stress can
make you sick
Chiropractors
have been saying that the stresses we are subjected to directly affect our
nervous system and therefore our health and well-being. This study from Australia
identifies the relationship between stress, our nerve system, immune system
and sickness. To read more:

Although they conclude
with a solution of developing a drug for immune system function,
Chiropractors conclude that since there is such an interconnected
communication between the nerve and immune system, reducing nerve system
stress with chiropractic is a safer way to enhance immune system function. Read
the literature on the effects of chiropractic care on immune system function

Merck hid
bad Vioxx outcomes
In
the ongoing saga of what drug companies do to insure tremendous sales of
their drugs despite their dangers, comes this story. Vioxx maker Merck
& Co. concealed heart attacks by three patients during the clinical trial
for the drug. The reason Vioxx was pulled from the market was because
it was causing heart attacks and strokes. Merck claimed the drug was
safe based on this study. To read more: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10385832/
