Don't Smoke Fish

The title of this blog represents my last to tips for this series. It does not have anything to do with the smoked Salmon in the refrigerator. It has everything to do with the cancer stick that many people insist on putting in their mouths.

9. Quit Smoking - I can not speak on experience here. I do not know how hard it is to quit.... I don't know what the craving feels like... All I do know is that smoking is one of the worst Anti-Health habits that a person can have. You can eat great and exercise, but if you smoke you can not be in good health. You might not have a disease now, but wait it is around the corner..... There is hope. There are many aids from THE PATCH, Hypnotism, acupuncture, GUM, and the good old cold turkey again I am not talking about your refrigerator. look at these findings that happen when you quit smoking.

Are Your Legs Tired

Has anyone ever said that you have been running through their mind. If they did is that exercising the mind???? Have you heard the saying a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Both of these sentences bring me to my next health tip.


7. Exercise the Mind - this is extremely important. I was raised with my parents always telling me "it is mind over matter". My mother to this day says she willed herself out of labor because of a huge snow storm when she was pregnant with my brother. So if this could be true, how can you not do something everyday to stimulate thought. Not stressful thinking but actual education and mind stimulating thought. Things like crossword puzzles, word searches and reading to name a few. Find something that you enjoy to do and after you take your vitamins, Do a Detox, Take Probiotics, have a great Attitude, Eat your fruits and vegetables, and exercise sit down enjoy and work the mind . You have nothing to lose and just maybe you will learn something in the process.


Since we are on the mind that big bundle of nerves in your skull. The next logical health tip would be chiropractic. Are you asking yourself how I went from the brain to the back.... Well let me explain a little.....


8. Chiropractic - works with the spine and the spine protects the spinal cord (yes that is really important)..... The spinal Cord is the Autobahn of information transfer from the Brain to the body and vice versa. With out proper communication the body and the brain can not perform the functions that are needed to maintain health. Have you ever had static on a telephone and not been able to hear exactly what was said that is a example of what can happen in the body. If the body does not know what to do!!!! how can it do it??? Chiropractic opens up the communication of the body by removing the interference that can be caused by a bone out of place. Sound a little hard to believe..... Ask any one of my patients that have had relief from bed wetting, ear infections, and heart burn I can go on, but the point is that chiropractic is part of the health process and anyone that tells you different is not informed.
