Is it “Allergy Season” for you? Do you have red, itchy, watery eyes? Runny nose? Constant sneezing? Are you allergic to certain foods or smells?
What is your body telling you? Is it telling you that it’s tapped out? Is it able to handle another toxin or stressor? It’s giving you a sign…are you taking the cue? Are you covering the symptoms up with pills, potions or lotions? Have you ever thought about why you have allergies and other people don’t? No, allergies are not ‘normal’. Allergies are ‘common’.
There are many ways to get your body to function at a high level, without medications or anything else synthetic. Here are some tips to get your body to begin moving TOWARDS health:
Adjusted Weekly: Getting your nervous system to function without interference (think of poor cell reception), is the best chance to live at your fullest. Find a chiropractor and begin to see what life has in store for you!
Drink Water: Drink ½ of your body weight of pure water in ounces. (e.g. 150 pound person will drink 75 ounces)
Reduce Sugar: Get the sugar out! Decrease processed foods (boxed, canned, bagged), pastries, snack foods, pop, juice, dairy and gluten.
Eat Whole Foods: Food is Medicine. Consume whole, organic foods. The best way to get all of what your body needs is to eat fruits and vegetables. Eat foods that are living, not dead.
Adequate, Routined Sleep: For an adult, the average is 6-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night.
If it’s not uninterrupted, I would suggest to find the cause of the disruption. Healing takes place during the sleeping hours.
Stress Level: Stress interrupts all healing processes in the body. First, acknowledge the stressor. Second, find ways to better adapt to it. Instead of reacting to something, be proactive and think through it before it becomes reality.
Omega-3’s: Fish oils (pharmaceutical and pure) are part of baseline nutrition, along with a multivitamin. Consult your Chiropractor for more information on dosages.
We are either moving TOwards health or away from health at all times. What choices will you make today to move you towards health?
