If you make a new year’s resolutions list it’s a good idea to include at least one that has to do with your health and wellness. Below, Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center goes over a few new year’s resolution ideas that will make you healthier and improve your life on many levels. Taking up a new skill that also qualifies as a fitness activity is a good place to start.

For some of us, it’s true that our bodies respond to shifts in the weather. As we grow older, we might feel the aches and pains of previous injuries a little more pronounced during the colder months of the winter as opposed to the spring and summertime, for instance.

Chiropractic treatment is a great all-natural treatment option that provides drug-free pain relief for your back, neck, joints, your legs, hands, and more. 

A chiropractic adjustment can improve your mobility and range of motion, not to mention give you a cognitive boost that has been shown to improve coordination.

Chiropractic treatments also improve gastrointestinal function, not to mention provide an immune system boost.

Did you know that many health conditions and more than a few injuries can come as the result of prolonged stress and anxiety?

The way we respond to stress might vary, but the health conditions that come as a result of not handling our stress and anxiety properly are the same. Stress can increase your chances of falling victim to one of the following conditions:

• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Depression
• GI Problems
• High Blood Pressure
• Obesity
• Diabetes

Even back and neck pain can result from stress. So, how do you properly handle stress during the holidays?

First, try not to overwork yourself in preparation for the holidays. You don’t have to bend over backward to afford expensive gifts. Try to go for something more thoughtful that takes more effort and maybe less coin. 

Make sure you take care of your body by stretching, exercising, and maybe even taking that yoga class you’ve been meaning to take.

Practice mindfulness and make sure you have an avenue to unplug, when necessary.

Chiropractic care is also a great way to offset any holiday stress you’ve been experiencing and can help reduce your chances of suffering from the health problems mentioned above. Contact Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center today to schedule your consultation.

 Seeing your local chiropractor in Milpitas, CA is a great idea toward the end of the year, especially in December.

Below, Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center goes over a few reasons why it’s a good idea to schedule a chiropractic check-up with us this month.

1.) It’s Stressful Times

The holiday seasons puts a lot of stress on us — some of us have family coming into town, some of us work extra hours to make the holidays special, and some of us overlook taking care of ourselves in the process. Visiting the chiropractor will help ensure you practice the self-care you need this month.

2.) Take Advantage of Insurance Benefits

Chiropractic treatments are often covered by insurance plans, so make sure to get your check-up in before your benefits and deductibles roll over in January.

3.) Finish the Year Strong

At the beginning of the year, you likely made some wellness goals, and chiropractic treatment will help you recalibrate your brain and your body for the last month of the year, so you finish like a champion!

Contact Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center today to schedule your chiropractic consultation this month. You’ll be glad you did.

Did you know that Black Friday likely put your body and your brain to the test? It’s true, participating in Black Friday festivities puts people in situations where they have to disrupt normal sleep cycles in lieu of taking advantage of extreme savings.

Being on your feet, standing in line, and driving around in the car also puts a tremendous amount of wear and tear on the body, which is why it’s important to have a recovery plan after you shop.

Below, Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center goes over a few tips for proper Black Friday recovery.

1.) Stretch After You Shop

After you shop for hours on end for you loved ones, practice a little bit of self-care by taking 30 minutes to an hour in order to stretch your back, legs, joints, and all your aching muscles. Your body will thank you!

2.) Stay Hydrated

Pack plenty of water for Black Friday and make sure you hydrate when you get home. Dehydration can cause delirium, crankiness, and all sorts of other health problems and dysfunctionalities.

3.) Visit Your Local Chiropractor

Visiting your local chiropractor will ensure your body recovers and decompresses from the day’s events this Black Friday. Contact Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center to schedule your consultation today.

As the holiday season approaches, it’s important to take the steps to make sure you’re centered and well. This time of year gets pretty stressful and as the emphasis rightly gets put on others, it’s still important to take care of ourselves in these times. If we don’t know how to be good to ourselves, it makes it a whole lot harder to be good to others, after all.

Below, Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center goes over a few ways to practice self-care towards the end of the year.

Eat Well

We are what we eat, plain and simple! When we’re taking in clean, whole foods packed with good nutrients, our bodies will respond well, setting the table for an excellent holiday season.

Practice Mindfulness

Try to meditate or at the very least sit in peace and quiet, if only for a brief moment each day. It’s a great way to stop and listen to your mind, not to mention decompress from the day’s events. Meditation is the gift that keeps giving!

Active recovery is a hot topic for many of our patients as they figure out how to better let their bodies heal from 9-5 work schedules and active fitness routines. More and more people are looking for more active ways to practice self-care than the typical Netflix-on-the-couch experience.

Below, Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center goes over a few ways to effectively engage in active recovery, which will have you being more productive, even on your off days.

Take a Yoga Class

For many of us, practicing that yoga routine might be difficult… unless we’re held accountable. Signing up for a yoga class with a friend will help keep you coming back. Yoga is a fantastic way to challenge yourself while at the same time decompressing the tension areas of the body.

Eat Well and Hydrate

Stay on top of your nutrition, even on your off days. Just because it’s a rest day doesn’t mean it’s a cheat day. You’ll feel ready for your week after a productive and nutritious day of rest as well.

Go on a Nature Hike

Instead of staying indoors, get outside on your day of recovery. Hiking is a great way to charge-up and get back in touch with nature. You’ll be doing something good for yourself without putting much stress on the body.

When it comes to diet, going simple, studies are finding, is the way to go. Eating clean, whole foods seems to be the way that health and wellness gurus choose to take in their nutrition, which is why everyday folks are following suit, which might explain the numerous organic foods stores popping up.

Below, Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center goes over a few simple nutrition hacks that will have you feeling better pretty much instantaneously.

1.) Eat More Greens

Eat leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli, kale, spinach, okra, and other verdant veggies should be part of every meal you eat.

2.) Cut Out Processed Foods

This pretty much means fast food, candy, carb-heavy dishes (like boxed pasta, for instance), all of which throw your body out of whack, creating a nuisance for your digestive system to deal with. Eating clean, whole foods found on the periphery of the grocery store is far easier on your digestive system, allowing you to use that energy elsewhere.

3.) Stop Eating Earlier

In order to promote a good night of sleep, it’s a great idea to stop eating two hours before you plan to rest (if you’re going to bed at 10 pm, make 8 pm your cutoff time, for instance). If you eat a large meal right before bed, this disrupts your sleep patterns and confuses the body, making it perform work when it needs quality sleep.
