Feeling Down? Try This
We all have those moments when we feel stressed out or down in the dumps. Here are a few tips that can turn the blues into a rainbow of hope:
1. Talk to a friend. Spending an hour each week with a close friend can do wonders for your stress levels. Simply talking about your life or stressors is a great release.
2. Play with your pet. A study out of the University of Missouri showed an increase in serotonin levels in individuals who spent just a few minutes with an animal.
3. Stretch it out. Tense and stiff muscles can disrupt our day with pain. Stretch upon waking each morning for a few minutes.
We’re passionate about helping our patients enjoy peak levels of health. If it’s been a while since you’ve visited us, book an appointment for a natural, drug-free approach to wellness.

4 Daily Health Habits
Enhancing your health doesn’t have to mean spending hours each day at the gym or eating like a rabbit. Here are four daily tips to remember:
Drink plenty of pure water. Put the kibosh on soda consumption and opt to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Tweak what you eat. Give each meal an upgrade by swapping out a food for one that’s more nutrient-dense. For example, exchange iceberg lettuce for spinach, kale or arugula.
Get sufficient sleep. Adults should aim to get 7-8 hours of quality sleep a night. Sleep plays a critical role in maintaining excellent health.
Move more. As sitting has been called “the new smoking,” it’s important to incorporate plenty of movement into your day. Simply walking more can pay health dividends.
These daily tips work even better when your nervous system is free from vertebral subluxation!
