Chiropractic Tip of the Month: Want Energy? Get Chiropractic!

If you feel your get-up-and-go has gone, consider that perhaps your spine is out of alignment. Alignment is needed in order to make efficient use of energy. When your chiropractor corrects a mechanical distortion with a spine adjustment, nerve system energy is normalized. The vital energy that runs your body comes from the brain, travels through the nerves, and gives vitality to your body.

The objective of chiropractic is to support your body in doing what it is supposed to do. Pain also zaps energy. It interferes with getting a good night’s sleep and this is the time that your body needs to regenerate and reenergize. Chiropractic care deals with the pain and allows people to experience renewed energy. Emotional and psychological stress also has a negative impact on your body. Chiropractic treatments help to release that stress. Chiropractic adjustments improve the nervous system communication to the body, making it more efficient and thereby giving you more energy.

Naturopathic Tip of the Month: The Power of Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices are loaded with anti-aging nutrients that add vitamins, flavour and colorr to our diets. They can boost your immune system, fight fungus, and calm the body as well as possessing other qualities to help maintain health. Try to incorporate as many herbs as you can into your diet and reap the benefits below!

Try;

• Rosemary and basil for their anti-inflammatory effects
• Sage and cumin for their ability to maintain mental clarity and focus
• Coriander and cinnamon to regulate blood sugar levels
• Oregano to fight fungal infections
• Saffron, bay leaves, nutmeg and lemongrass to calm the nerves
• Basil, cinnamon, thyme, saffron, ginger and turmeric to boost immunity
• Allspice, black pepper, cayenne and rosemary to fight the ‘winter blues’
