Modern life and technology have granted us many advantages, but even after years of use, our bodies have not adapted to these changes. One common example of this is what is referred to as text neck. When you look down at your phone with your head bent, your head hangs forward. The average human head weighs up to 12 pounds and when it’s in that position, it can put roughly 60 pounds of pressure on the neck. This strain in the muscles can pull the vertebrae out of alignment,... causing several problems that lead to pain. A chiropractic adjustment can help address the pain in your neck. Many people don’t realize that having a sore neck can affect your entire spine, so seeing a chiropractor to help with your text neck condition may be able to help you restore balance throughout your whole body. A chiropractor can give you some tips on stretches and exercises that can help restore strength and flexibility to the neck muscles.

It is so easy to put together a quick, nutritious meal when you have a well-stocked kitchen. Many popular healthy foods expire easily and need to be eaten within a few days, so it’s easy to burn through them quickly, but don't worry. You can keep quite a few healthy, long-lasting staples in your pantry, freezer, and fridge. The following foods can easily make a nutritious meal or can be used as a healthy snack: Dried beans and legumes are an affordable source of protein, fi...ber, iron, vitamins, and antioxidants; they're great for protecting heart health. Grains (brown rice, quinoa, and oats) provide many health benefits, including a lower risk of diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Frozen fruits and vegetables are packed with higher levels of antioxidants, which means freezing fruits and vegetables does not ruin their nutritional value. Having your fridge, pantry, and freezer stocked with healthy food options can help you when it comes to having ingredients for home-cooked meals. #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #healthiswealth #beans #beansandrice #grainstorage #grainsmadesimply #fruitsandveggies #veggiesfordays #veggiestyle #happy #nutritiontips #wednesdaytips

There is a reason why they call stress the silent killer. According to the American Institute of Stress, 83% of employees in the U.S. suffer from work-related stress. Often, stress seems unavoidable. Luckily, there are many ways you can handle stress. Breathing can be tremendously beneficial. It promotes physical relaxation, emotional calm, and the awareness that comes with it. Deep breathing can also calm your heart rate, lower blood pressure, and help slow down your min...d. Meditation is very personal, but even just spending three minutes a day can help you stay centered. Don’t be hard on yourself if you are unable to keep your mind quiet. It takes practice and is not meant to be perfect. Exercise can do more for your body than just burn calories. It’s an easy way to let go of any built-up anxiety and energy that is clouding your thoughts. Sometimes when we are stressed, it manifests in our bodies as pain. Proper nutrition, regular massages, and stretching every day are some of the ways you can treat your body well. #destress #destressdaily #destressmode #breathe #breatheout #chiropracticlifestyle #meditation #exercise #happiness #joy #wellness #Keepcalmandrelax #TGIF #Fridayvibes #Fridaymood

Summer is a great time for fresh produce. There is an abundance of fresh and healthy choices. Most of us are stuck in a food routine desperately trying to find a way out of it. Eating foods that are in season is great because they have twice the flavor and are extremely high in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. Here are a few terrific options: Tomatoes-Sunscreen should always be your first line of defense when it comes to protecting your skin against the sun..., but eating plenty of fresh tomatoes can give you a little extra protection.

Lower back pain can have a huge impact on your sleep quality . According to the Sleep Foundation, those with pain are more likely to have sleep problems impact their daily lives. Here are good sleep positions: Lying flat on your back- it provides optimal spine alignment, especially when you place one pillow underneath your head or neck and another one under your knees. Sleeping on a firm surface with your spine in a neutral position-reduces the amount of strain on your b...ack and neck. Side sleeping with your legs straight-the next best position to avoid back and neck pain. (Side sleeping opens your airways, which makes it a good position for snorers or those dealing with sleep apnea.) Our chiropractor can provide great advice about sleeping positions as well as answer any questions you may have about the cause of your back pain. They can also provide the proper care so that you can live a pain-free and happy life .
