Natural Solutions For Healthy Living


Eating tasty foods is one of the life’s pleasures.  But the fact is the foods that you eat play a major role in your health.  Your body has the amazing ability to turn the foods you eat into the energy it needs to move muscles, regulate organs, power the brain and aid in healing.
Unfortunately, the food you eat can also play a major role in common diseases and disrupt the natural healing process.  Many of today’s convenience foods can place unnatural demands on your body slowing you’re healing process and depriving your body of essential nutrients, which often leads to potentially deadly diseases.
Eating well means eating a variety of foods everyday.  But it also means eating regularly and avoiding excess Kevorkian foods, such as Pre-Packaged Convenience Foods, High Fat Lunch Meats, Lobster (anthropoid), Margarine (hydrogenated oil), NutraSweet (methanol alcohol), Junk Food, Olestra (fat free chips), High Fat Dairy Products, Chlorine (water), Caffeine Products and Alcohol.
The fact is, learning to eat well may take time.  Many people have been “trained” to enjoy sweet, salty, and fattening food.  All this processed food can taste great, but its difficult for the body to process and contains very little nutritional value.  The good part is you don’t have to give up all your favorite foods at once.  Try subtle changes and you will find that over time, each change has become a lasting healthy habit.
Healthy food choices include Fruits, veggies, Fish, Chicken, and Turkey intake less fat; Also 8-10 glasses of water per day.
While food does play a major role in a healthy lifestyle, numerous factors contribute to overall health.  When your body works overtime, it depletes many vitamins and minerals that each cell needs to function properly.  Because of this, a supplement is often required. Chiropractic also enhances all body functions, such as digestion and absorption.

How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner, 10 Times Smarter & 10 Years Younger


How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner, 10 Times Smarter & 10 Years Younger

You can look 10 times smarter, 10 pounds thinner, and 10 years younger by just standing up straight!

Research Proven
      Research shows that good posture projects health, vitality, and confidence, hunching suggests weakness, gloom, and self-doubt.

      The study showed that if you stand up straight, people would describe you as more attractive than someone weighing 10-15 pounds less.

      Incorrect posture can cause a lifetime of annoying minor ailments. Muscle spasms in the lower back, compressed nerves or blood vessels, decreasing lung capacity, chronic pain, and headache to name a few.

Computer Danger
      Working at computers is causing a epidemic of alignment problems, First the head moves forward to see the screen; then the neck cranes toward the front; finally the shoulders round. The muscles in the back become overstretched from being pulled forward by the muscles in the shoulder causing your back to be under constant stress.

      When you’re parked in front of a computer, proper posture is crucial to preventing back pain.

      No matter how much you want to put your feet on the desk or curl up like a pretzel, you’ll avoid a lot of back problems if you simply sit up straight and plant your feet squarely on the floor.

Heels and Bags
      Women are particularly susceptible to the aches and pains of poor posture. Many wear heels, which force the pelvis to tilt forward, arching the back unnaturally to maintain balance. And many suffer from the don’t-leave-the-home-without-it syndrome, a condition in which they’re determined to carry the contents of a studio apartment in their pocketbooks,

      You should alternate the shoulders on which you carry your bag. Otherwise, over time, one shoulder can become visibly higher than the other.

      If you insist on carrying heavy loads use a backpack, which balances the weight on both shoulders. Even backpacks can cause problems if you carry too much, the weight can cause you to arch your back and jut your head forward.

Posture while you sleep
      We tend to be most aware of our alignment when we’re sitting or standing. But we shouldn’t forget our sleeping posture. People who sleep in a compressed fetal position or on their stomachs stress the lower back and neck. Sleeping on one side can also put pressure on the lower back, because of the way one leg hangs in front of the other.

      If you sleep on your side it’s best to sleep with a pillow between your knees. However, the best sleep positions of all are on your back using a cervical pillow that supports your normal neck curvature.

      Clearly, posture matters. Although the effects of poor posture can be serious in terms of health, comfort, and efficiency, many problems can be helped.

The Benefits
      The benefits of correct posture include: Improved health. Appearance and coordination; increased strength, stamina and confidence; better fitting clothes; improved balance, which makes you more agile and reduces the risk of injury and aids in physical and mental development,


Test yourself at Home
      Use this preliminary self-test to check the posture of everyone in you family.

Test 1: Stand with your back to the wall. Place your head, shoulder blades, calves, and heels against the wall. Place your hands at your sides. Flatten the hollow of your back by pressing your buttocks back against the wall. If the space at the back of your waist is greater than the thickness of your hand, your posture is not correct.

Test 2: Face the wall with the palms of your hands on the front of the thighs. Move slowly until some part of you touches the wall. If it is your chest your posture is good. If your head, your posture is fair. If your abdomen touches, your postures poor.

Living Healthy

All health begins at the cellular level. Transforming the quality of our body's and thus our lives will begin at the infant stage of our development. Improving our health by way of enhancing our cell health will lead us to a life of energy, vitality and physical passion. Science has proven that dis-ease or lack of harmony in the body; aging; and autoimmune deficiencies all begin at the cell level. Cells are the building blocks that make us all. The complex internal control begins with your central nervous system consisting of your brain, spinal cord and nerves that come off the spinal cord that transmit mental impulses to each and every tissue cell. Breakdowns in this communication can lead to negative consequences and sickness. Healthy living begins with 7 basics: proper exercise, excellent posture, proper nutrition, essential rest, deep diaphragmatic breathing, balanced mental attitude and a optimal functioning nervous system. Commit to enhancing these vital components and get your nervous system checked as soon as possible to make sure that it can strive to keep you alive and well with passion! Live. Life. Well.
