Your posture tells us a lot about health.

Those with poor posture are less likely to oxygenate their bodies as well. This lowered oxygenation is associated with multiple disease processes and inflammatory conditions (if you saw my post earlier this week, you may understand how lower oxygen concentrations are more rampant than the article authors put on).

Poor posture also correlates with increased muscular tightness (pain/stiffness) and degeneration of the spine (arthritis). Over time this doesn't just compound into more pain, but can also be correlated with balance issues and negative outcomes from traumatic injuries like whiplash or concussions.

Regular chiropractic care helps to restore proper movement and posture.

More and more research is connecting Alzheimer's disease to our immune function.

While this may leave some telling you that there is nothing you can do to protect yourself, there are a lot of ways to minimize these effects.

Protecting your gut is massively important. Studies show that Alzheimer's can start 20-50 𝘺𝘦𝘒𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 π˜₯π˜ͺ𝘒𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘴π˜ͺ𝘴 and there is a lot of correlation with gut problems that move up the vagus nerve to the brain.

Ensuring you are not deficient (or overconsuming) and nutrient. Avoiding metabolic strain while providing proper nutrition gives your body the things it needs to perform proper immune functions.

Getting enough recovery/sleep. When we get enough sleep and time to recover we handle stress better. Stress wreaks havoc on our immune and brain functionality. Taking the time to get the rest we need can help put our logical brain back into control (making these decisions easier).

Get adjusted. This can help to modulate stress and stimulate proper brain function as well.

Think about this - when you are 80 years old, what kind of life would you like to live?

Do you want to be weak, frail and worried about how you're going to do anything?

While this is a common outcome, it doesn't mean that it is what we are destined for.

When we look to consistently performing resistance exercises we maintain strength - even into our elderly years.

When we regularly perform aerobic exercise we are more likely to have enduring stamina - even in our elderly years.

When we focus on a healthy diet and rest - we minimize degeneration and are likely to heal better setting ourselves up for a higher quality of life - even in our elderly years.

Start taking care of yourself now like you're going to reach 100 years of age. Because you might and you have more choice over what those years look like than you might imagine.

What causes plaquing in the arteries is up for debate (it likely isn't the mechanisms that have been accepted for 60ish years).

No matter the cause, what can you do about it.

It is important to understand that there are really two major types of plaquing - stable and unstable.

The unstable plaques are those that are more likely to break free and cause a thrombosis (heart attack, stroke, etc...). These are obviously the more dangerous type.

Stable plaques are less likely to break free and cause these same problems.

Can we move from an unstable plaquing situation to a stable plaquing?

Yes. Diet, exercise, sleep and stress management all play roles in this transition. The more foundational health practices you can implement, the more higher the likelihood of moving into a more stable situation.

Why is sitting so hard on our bodies?

After only a couple minutes of sitting we lose stability in our spine.

With the amount of time that we spend in the seated position, many of us have to work to restabilize the spinal column. If we don't put in that effort it shows up in a multitude of ways.

Consistent pain.

Muscle spasms.

Arthritis/degeneration.

Disc injuries.

Restoring this often takes more than just exercise, though. Making sure we have proper movement, timing and coordination (the chiropractic adjustment is excellent for this) can help us protect our spine for the long-term.

In the meantime, getting up every 20-30 minutes for a little movement can help to minimize some of the problems caused by sitting.

Health requires more than appearances.

When autoimmunity was absolutely destroying my body (I lost around 20 pounds in 3 weeks), I had people say, "I wish I had that problem".

I 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦π˜₯ healthy, but I was in an extremely dangerous state. A state of health so bad that my doctor told me not to go to a very good friend's wedding because she was scared I would have a heart attack.

With that said, you can predict some things from looks, so they do play a role, but they are far from the biggest factor.

The only way to know where you are is to get evaluated.

What do your labs look like, how is your brain performing, how are your joints moving - that's where health truly lies.

You may ignore this thinking it doesn't affect you.

This affects more people than you might initially think, though.

This isn't just for people who have poor circulation to the hands and feet.

It isn't just for those who smoke.

Yes, those populations need to watch, but this also applies to those who don't exercise very often.

Exercise helps to oxygenate the tissues better - it is one of the aspects that can improve overall health.

If you don't exercise, some areas may be more prone to this than others.

If you don't exercise and you have other risk factors, you need to pay even more attention to these articles.

Movement and exercise are a foundational aspect of health - without them it is hard to develop or sustain health for any length of time.

I know where I lie in this camp.

I fully believe that those that are used to doing hard things in one area of their lives - things that they may not enjoy - are able to translate that to other areas of their lives.

When we are able to do the things that 𝘯𝘦𝘦π˜₯ 𝘡𝘰 𝘣𝘦 π˜₯𝘰𝘯𝘦, rather than just the things that we 𝘸𝘒𝘯𝘡 𝘡𝘰 π˜₯𝘰, we tend to have more success.

When you take action in your health by doing the things that are necessary to keep you truly healthy, I think you will see more success in your career, family life and finances as well.

Whether you're trying to protect your brain function or you want to improve upon it, DHA (a healthy omega 3 fatty acid) can help you do it.

When our omega 3 levels are too low (in comparison to our omega 6 levels), we enter an inflammatory state (a commonality among all disease processes).

By taking in the appropriate amount of omega 3 fatty acids (and DHA, in particular), we can minimize the inflammatory state and work to protect our health.

A ratio of 3:1 (omega 6: omega3) 𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 is ideal.

When we have a healthy gut, a lot of the problems that affect too many are resolved.

When we take in too much sugar, too many pesticides, not enough fiber and more, our gut bacteria get thrown out of balance.

This leads to increased gas production, leaky gut syndrome, inflammation and more.

By simply making better dietary choices, our gut starts to move toward a better place.

Add in probiotics, stress management and other healthy activities and it takes another leap.

Most of our current health epidemic is caused by our choices.

As we move toward making healthier, foundational moves we often see health problems disappear.

I get asked very frequently, "Am I okay to go to work?".

There is a difficult balance on this.

On one hand getting up and moving is a necessary part of healing - one that too many people neglect if they don't have a reason to get up and move around.

However, pushing too hard too early can cause problems.

The guidelines are - if movement causes pain it is okay as long as it is not injurious pain.

If it is causing injury, there is obviously a bigger concern.

How can you tell the difference?

Therein lies the difficulty. Pushing to discomfort, but not pushing into too much pain is likely the best answer to this conundrum.
