As we age our bodies tend to be less effective at doing certain things. Even though we're less able to perform rigorous tasks without experiencing adversity, pain, or even injury, we still push ourselves to those same limits we were able to reach when we were younger.

Many patients we see at Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center experience back injuries, including throwing their backs out.

When our backs go out, it's a pretty helpless feeling, but chiropractic treatments are designed to help you endure and even treat back injuries that occur as we age.

If your back has gone out recently, it's a good idea to schedule a consultation with a chiropractor in your area. Chiropractic adjustments will help your body function at optimum capacity, treat pain and discomfort the drug-free way, and help you avoid future injury.

Eat Your Vegetables

Making sure that you eat your vegetables is crucial in living a healthy lifestyle. Vegetables are packed with nutrients that will help fuel you throughout the day.

Cut Down on Sweets

Try to limit yourself to sensible dessert. Dark chocolate and organic peanut butter is a healthy alternative to, say, chocolate cake. Try to get your sugar fix from fresh fruit.

Think About When You Eat

Don't eat past 8pm if you're going to bed around 10 for better sleep and improved digestion.

Eat Clean, Whole Foods

Staying away from processed foods will help your GI system stay functioning at optimum capacity. Once you're eating healthy, you'll really start to notice any time you deviate from your diet, because you'll likely feel pretty awful when you eat junk food once your body no longer craves it.

It's Good for Your Joints!
