What did I value and what was I willing to do to guard that which I valued? Intense or vital situations don’t arise too often in our daily lives (thankfully), but when they do, they demand our complete attention. Upon examination we often find, however, that we could have done something to diminish or even completely avoid the intense predicament.<br /><br />So it is with health. Occasionally a face-to-face encounter happens because something with your body…kidney stone, back spasm, migraine, etc…has gone wrong. Your body holds the trump card, so when a system fails, you’re stopped. The rest of the world may still be moving ahead, but you aren’t going anywhere until you resolve the problem. Interestingly, most body problems give us a warning that we should heed. Most of the time a little preventative maintenance or attentive care can help us diminish or avoid a show-stopping ailment.<br /><br />So what should you do? Take action on the health topics that you hear about nearly every day. Stop a bad habit and replace it with a healthful one. Make a dietary change that improves what you currently eat. Exercise – daily, vigorously, playfully! Prioritize your life to reduce stressors. Invest in relationships because it is in them where the quality of life really lies. Additionally, schedule wellness care with a chiropractor.<br /><br />Commonly, chiropractic is the profession people seek as their last resort with respect to their health. Ironically, it should be the other way around. Chiropractors address the function of the spine (your main structural support), the nervous system (your body’s communication system), and all of those muscles and joints that you enjoy using every day. Seeking chiropractic care is your best proactive option in maximizing your health.<br /><br />Before you have to deal with a disaster of any type - health or otherwise - try taking action to address the many factors that might prevent it from happening.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8560202539632519574-8477635870775996580?l=drrandyhewitt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr Randy Hewittnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560202539632519574.post-32830654378691324532009-08-26T16:05:00.000-07:002009-08-26T16:10:34.795-07:00This is my first chance to become known in the virtual world as the <em>chiropractic health care answer man</em>.
