For years I have heard my patients' concerns about getting sick during the holidays, and I have observed something which will benefit you greatly. Around the holidays, more people get sick then during most other times of the year. Why is that? The answer is simpler then you think....
Our bodies follow certain principles - we all get excited about "new discoveries and treatments", but the truth is that in order to stay healthy our body must function as close to 100% as possible. There are THREE areas of health that need attention - they are the Physical, Chemical and Emotional components to our lives. All three of them, if out of BALANCE, can effect the function of the other two. It's very common for one of these areas to not be working right during the year for different reasons.... maybe you have a lot of stress in a relationship or at work (Emotional) or your job requires you to not move very much or move too much or you've had a trauma (Physical), or your eating habits have gotten way out of control or your on a lot of medication (Chemical). See there are lots of things that affect the function of our bodies.
During the Holidays - WHAT WE SEE IS THAT THERE IS AN ASSAULT ON ALL THREE. Think about it - Stress is everywhere. More demands on your time, more obligations, more financial stress, all the eating out, alcohol and deserts. It overwhelms our bodies.
So how do you beat the Holiday Blues?? The answer may be simpler then you think - GET MORE ADJUSTMENTS!! Adjustments to your spine take pressure off of the nerves and muscles, and allow your nervous system to function at a much higher level. Plus, it's your nervous system that controls the function of your immune system.
