THE VITAL LIFE
A collaborative blog from all of us at Vitality to help you live a more vital life!
Chiropractors are known as back Doctors; Someone you go see for back pain or neck pain. While in fact, we are not back Doctors at all! Our specialty is the nervous system. Your nervous system consists of your brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Your nervous system is known as the "Master System" of the body. It is the system that controls all other systems.
In this fast paced world it seems you can't go a day without some sort of stress. Work, meetings, bills, family; The list just seems to grow. We know all too well the emotional stress of everyday life. But stress is not always emotional. Stress can come in many forms. Most of us think of the emotional stress we incure but pay little thought to the chemical or physical stress we submit ourselves to daily.
The food we eat, the chair we sit in, the products we use; Each of these have the capability to cause our bodies chronic stress. It is all to often we overlook the things we use every day because they have become habit or the norm. It's time to take a look at our day with a fresh set of eyes.
In a world where everything is represented by a number.... your finances, your time, your worth, your value... it's hard to stop counting! Instead of looking at our food for its contents and quality we are being told to count the calories. Low fat, no fat.... we see it on every container.
It's time to change the focus. Our food is here to nourish us; To give us strength. It's all about quality!
"Everything we experience is processed through our nervous system. If our nervous system is not functioning to its optimal level, our perception of the world is distorted and our ability to respond appropriately is compromised. This not only affects our physical health, but also our emotional and psychological function as well." - Dr. Christopher Kent
