Music Healing

Music seems to have a positive effect on our moods and health in much the same way color does. Soft music, when combined with some relaxation techniques, has been used to lessen stress and relax muscles. Music touches the spirit and can be very relaxing and healing. Researchers suggest that music increases the production of pain-killing hormones called endorphins in the brain. It creates the relaxation response. Music healing has produced some good results in those undergoing alcohol and drug rehabilitation. It’s been proven beneficial to those suffering from depression, high blood pressure, migraines, and ulcers. Although soft music can be soothing, certain types of hard rock music can have the opposite effect.

10 Ways To Stay Young

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why we pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. Ditch them today.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next country - to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. Do it early and often.

KIDS AND CHIROPRACTIC

Good health begins at birth. Keep your kids well from birth! Do you take your child to get a dental check-up, how about an eye, ear or throat exam? Most parents take their children to the doctor so that they make sure their child is the healthiest they could possibly be. Did you know that current research shows the initiation of heart disease (atherosclerosis) occurs in infants and children?

However, we don’t often encounter a child with chest pain or other symptoms indicating they may have heart disease. Like the lack of chest pain, children do not always complain of back pain. However, spinal problems have been shown consistently to begin after birth. This is why a spinal check-up is critical at the earliest of ages as well as throughout adolescence and into adulthood.

According to Dr. Gutman, a German medical specialist, a chiropractic spinal checkup “… should be obligatory after every difficult birth.” He noted that out of a random group of 1,250 babies examined 5 days after birth, 211 suffered from vomiting, hyperactivity and sleeplessness – spinal abnormalities were found in 95% of this group.

Gutman and colleagues found that an unhealthy spine causes “many clinical features from central motor impairment to lower resistance to infections – especially ear, nose and throat infections.”

Are You Off Balance?

Your feet are the foundation of your body… and can be a contributing factor to your health problems.

But My Feet Don’t Hurt
Your feet are the foundation of your entire skeleton. If they’re not supported properly, your body will form weaknesses in its skeletal structure. This results in pain and suffering. It’s like a building that will eventually have cracks in its walls if the foundation is not laid properly.

Most of the time, your feet aren’t the weakest point of your skeleton. They don’t hurt… but they will affect other parts of your body that do.

Excessive Foot Pronation and Flat Feet
When your feet strike hard surfaces, like the pavement or floor, they begin to flatten. This action causes the bones in your feet to become misaligned and leads to excessive foot pronation or flat feet. You’ll notice movement of your ankle and the flattening of your arch.

These conditions cause stress on your entire body, starting with your foot and moving up to your ankle, knee, hip joint, pelvis, spine and head. It can also result in a variety of health problems.

Orthotics help correct these problems.
Foot orthotics give you proper support and help restore the natural balance and alignment of your body.
Foot orthotics also help make your spinal adjustments more effective and longer-lasting.

CHIROPRACTIC – 101

To understand chiropractic, one must have a basic understanding about how the body functions. From the time you were born, your Inner Wisdom has known exactly how to keep you healthy and alive. It knows how fast your heart should beat, how often your lungs need to breathe, how to digest food and how to eliminate waste. There are millions of details controlled by your Inner Wisdom to keep this marvelous machine in prime functioning condition.

“… a kind of super  intelligence exists in each of us, infinitely smarter  and possessed of technical know-how far beyond our present understanding.” -Lewis Thomas, M.D.  

Every living organism in our world possesses what chiropractors call Innate Intelligence. The body machine comes out of the “factory” fully able to function, as long as it has regular fuel and adequate maintenance. Innate Intelligence sends instructions to every organ and cell in your body through the nerve system housed by the vertebrae. However, unless your spinal vertebrae are correctly aligned, those instructions can’t be received and followed properly. The result is “Dis-ease” and dysfunction.

 

Multi-Vitamins cut sick days by more than half!

A daily Multi-Vitamin/Mineral combination (MVM) may reduce the risk of infectious illness in healthy individuals, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina, and Wake Forest University.

Healthy participants taking the daily MVM reported fewer infections and days absent from work than those the placebo. Infection rates were 42% for the MVM group versus 73% in the placebo group. Work- absence rates were 21% in the MVM group and 57% in the placebo group.

Diabetics taking the MVM reported more dramatic results, with only a 17% infection rate compared with 93% in the diabetic placebo group. Illnesses included influenza, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urinary tract infections.
