🧹Spring clean YOUR FAMILY!
⏰Change the clocks = reset your sleep schedule! For a deeper, more restful sleep: Get off devices earlier. Do not eat large meals 2 hours before bed. Sleep in a cooler, dark room.
📵Partake in a “digital detox”. Take your time back! Put down, shut down electronics. Try a new activity, craft, or hobby. Rediscover an old activity once enjoyed, even volunteer.
🩹Spring clean your medicine cabinet. Check BOTH over the counter and prescription medicine expiration dates. Safely, properly discard expired medicines.
🍉A variety of fruits and veggies are coming into season. Fill your plate with IN season fresh fruits and veggies. Easy, HALF your meal plate should be veggies and or fruits.
🚶Get outside and get moving! Enjoy the fresh air. Just walking outside engages different muscles due to the unevenness of the ground. Try hiking, frisbee with kids or jumping rope.
☀️Soak up the Sun! Vitamin D increases serotonin to boost your mood simply sitting, resting in the bright sun outside vs inside.
💪Lastly, come see us! Clean off the winter stiffness, tightness you are feeling in your neck and back. Call for an adjustment TODAY!
🌷Happy Spring Everyone!
