We don’t have any problems. We have the solution. What does that mean to you? At Innate Chiropractic Center in Lansing Michigan, Dr. Dennis Weinstein and his staff will help you come up with a strategy to handle life’s stessors. Subluxation, or nerve interference can be best described like having static on your cell phone, the signal can’t get through. Nerve flow can’t get through. But, what causes subluxation? Good Question. Stress from life. It can be physical stress from your posture, accidents, injuries, trauma, etc. From Biochemical stress from the foods you eat or the chemicals in the air. Mental or emotional stress from work, home, family, bills, mortgage payment, school, kids. So, it would only make sense, if we were to try and handle the stress from life or minimize it the best we can, your body would be able to function better and perform properly.
Good Nutrition For A Healthy Life
To maximize weight loss and exercise goals, you need to avoid crash diets and overly aggressive exercise programs. Small, simple changes have a more lasting effect. For instance, instead of going on a food fast or severe calorie deprivation diet, make a pledge to have smarter food choices by eating healthier foods. Start reading food packaging labels. Labels are the key to weight loss and proper nutrition. From labels, you gain the knowledge of which foods are high calorie and which ones have too much fat or carbohydrates (sugar). More importantly, you can study the ingredients of food products so that you can avoid certain health and weight loss sabotaging components. You can exclude potentially harmful ingredients like high sodium levels, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and colors and hydrogenated oils from your diet when you read labels. As far as an exercise program is concerned, instead of stressing yourself out over finding the time for a two-hour gym workout each day of the week, try starting out with three to four 30-minute walks per week. Walking on a treadmill at the gym or outdoors is one of the best all-round exercises. Studies have shown that walkers are 50% healthier than non-exercisers. Once you make a walking routine an integral part of your week, it is then much easier to branch out into other forms of exercise, like circuit training or aerobics classes. The bottom line is that if you start making changes slowly and ease into a healthy lifestyle, the more likely your goals will take root and become a part of your life.
The Acai Berry – A Chiropractic Lifestyle Facilitator
When we talk about chiropractic and the particular lifestyle a chiropractor in Lansing, Michigan would recommend, proper nutrition is often mentioned. Fresh fruits and vegetables are keys to any successful diet. The Acai berry, grown in the Brazilian rainforest, is the “in” ingredient and exotic flavor that’s sweeping the country. The question is why? When poured, its deep purple in color and it’s that rich color that holds all the antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances or nutrients which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as “free radical scavengers” and thus prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals. The acai berry is super high in antioxidants and all the other stuff that promotes health. They even says its anti-mutagenic which means, everybody is getting DNA damage everyday because of radiation and oxidative stress and there’s a lot of evidence that the berries like this can really help prevent that damage which can eventually prevent many problems such as neck pain and back pain. These types of symptoms could be caused by biochemical stress such as bad nutrition or physical stress.
Dr. Dennis Walk / Run For Health and Wellness
Innate Chiropractic practice members are welcome to join me each and every Tuesday morning so that we can all be in better shape, to make new friends, and maybe just run or walk for better fitness! Some of us are just starting an exercise program; others have been exercising for a while. But regardless of the specifics, we all share one common goal – to have fun.
This is a non-intimidating environment, and I really do motivate people to get fit and have fun.
The general format of Run/Walk for Wellness is as follows:
