When you walk down the street in your town, what do you see? You may notice your fellow man and woman, scurrying toward their next appointment or obligation. You may see the stores and offices where people live and work. You may see the beauty of nature in the trees, flowers, earth, and sky.
But one thing that is everywhere you look is the opportunity to do good – to find ways to serve or support each other, to share what you have learned, and to take every opportunity to make a difference in your life and the lives of those you can influence.
Sadly, most people you will come across will not be as healthy as they could be. They may be suffering from some kind of painful problem or some illness, allergy, or complaint. They may be okay but not expressing their energy to the fullest they could.
Or, they could be doing quite well but curious about being at their very best. In any of these situations, inviting those you care about into the world of health and wellness can be a life-altering experience for them. Regardless of their current level of health, everyone can benefit from looking at their current habits, evaluating the places that could use some improvement and making the necessary changes to have the healthiest life possible.
One way to do this is to include the advice of natural healers like doctors of chiropractic. Chiropractors have unique ways of understanding and working with people to bring out their natural healing ability and help them express their greatest health potential.
Give the gift of health in this season of giving – share what you have learned about safe, gentle, all-natural chiropractic care. Your willingness to reach out to others could change someone’s life for the better – and what better holiday present could you offer than that?

Unless you live in an area that is warm in January and February, you’re probably looking forward to getting outside for a breath of fresh spring air. The change of seasons is a time for exhilaration, but it also causes stress for some people.
Spring cleaning, gardening, outdoor sports, getting kids to and from their school, and social engagements – there’s a lot going on, and it can be hard to keep up.
That’s why it’s so important to take extra good care of yourself so the stresses of the season don’t knock you off course. Get enough sleep—seven or eight hours for most people. Drink enough water—at least six or eight glasses a day, if not more. Avoid processed foods and salty and sweet snacks and instead choose fresh, wholesome, healthy foods and treats.
Everything you do to make yourself healthier is an investment you make in yourself. One of the best investments you can make is to get yourself and your loved ones a check-up by your family chiropractor, Dr. Wendy Lanser, DC.
Chiropractors are trained to advise you on improving your quality of life. Through good lifestyle decisions on diet, exercise, stress relaxation, and healthy brain and heart care, you can reach your health potential and reduce the probability of many diseases. Spring cleaning isn’t only for your house and flower beds but also for your body. Pay attention, get some advice, and make sure you make good choices about your springtime wellness habits. That’s how you March Toward Health!
The New Year is a natural starting point and an invitation to take stock of your current circumstances and see where you can improve your life. All over the world, people are welcoming the opportunity to shift gears and choose some bad habits to break or new ones to establish.
Usually, people set New Year’s Resolutions to change something – lose weight, quit smoking, skip dessert, or whatever. Often, these decisions revolve around health – and rightly so, since this is one of the best places for us to invest in ourselves.
For example, you can improve your fitness without spending a penny by stretching, doing breathing exercises, or meditating. You could practice yoga or jump rope, or if weather permits, take a walk after dinner, shoot baskets, or kick a soccer ball around.
The point is that it doesn’t take much money to get into better shape, and it also saves you unnecessary doctor bills because when you take better care of yourself, you get sick less. If you want to be as proactive as possible with your health, visit your family chiropractor. She can help you pick this year’s best habits for you that will give you the best results. It’s one of the smart things you can do to reduce your stress. Chiropractic—it’s the natural way to wellness!
Time Magazine, along with AARP, reports on a paper that defines five keys to longevity that anyone can learn and master.
Eat a healthy diet – numerous studies done over the last decade state that improving your diet by 20% can have a 17% impact on extending your life, so even if you aren’t perfect, conscious eating can make a big difference. Fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, nuts and healthy fats, and plant-based proteins, with less sugar and salt and fewer processed foods and red meats, can set you up for more years to enjoy your life.
Exercise regularly – 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of more intense exercise each week can keep you fit for extra years.
Maintain a healthy body weight – obesity killed 186,000 people last year due to diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, so figure out your best target weight and get there. If you need help, ask.
Drink in moderation – one or two adult beverages per day are considered safe for most people. Any more is risky – be wise about this.
Don’t smoke – obviously, smoking has been linked to respiratory disease, heart attacks, stroke, and cancer – if you don’t smoke, don’t start, and if you do, get help and quit. It’s an addiction, and you need to fix it.
And, if you’re serious about living as long as you can with a great quality of life, don’t forget to include chiropractic care. It will destress you, make you more flexible, and your brain will be healthier, too.
Scientists have known for years that walking is great exercise. Regular brisk walking can extend your lifespan up to twenty years! But a new study has shown that walking may offset the harmful effects of poor sleep patterns.
It’s no secret to doctors of all kinds that not getting enough quality sleep interferes with your daily function and longevity. Insufficient sleep may cost you years of your life. So, anything you can do to improve the way your body works could give you back those lost years.
A massive study in Australia and England followed 380,000 people over 11 years and compared their exercise routines with their sleeping habits. They discovered that those who exercised consistently shook off many of the problems associated with poor quality sleep – in other words, even if they didn’t sleep enough, exercise helped them to live longer and healthier.
Those who both exercised and slept well were even healthier still. But those who slept poorly and did not exercise were 60% more likely to die early, 70% more likely to get heart disease, and had a 45% greater risk of cancer.
The World Health Organization says adults over 18 should aim for either 150-300 minutes of moderate exercise each week or 75-150 minutes of vigorous exercise each week. The sleep researchers agreed with this plan.
So, if you sleep well, good for you, but if you don’t, develop a habit of walking briskly – it may save you unnecessary pain and help you to live a healthier life.
Now that school is underway, it’s essential that we monitor and respond to the assorted stresses that school children may face. These stresses tend to fall into three categories – physical stresses, chemical stresses, and emotional stresses.
Kids often suffer bumps and bruises from falls, sports injuries, and rough play. But they also get to deal with the negative effects of carrying a too-heavy or off-centered backpack and the forward head tilt and hunched shoulders that come along with overusing phones and video game controllers.
Chemical stresses are also widespread, often due to poor eating habits, like excessive sugary, salty or fried foods or drinking too much soda pop and energy drinks. But in addition to the questionable nutritional value of such common dietary choices, most also have toxic substances included in small but significant amounts that act as preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and other additives. These chemicals tend to accumulate in young people’s bodies, stressing them and damaging them over years of unwitting abuse.
