What is True Health?

The Natural State of Your Mind and Body is Health.

Feeling Great

Most people think that how they feel is an indicator of how healthy they are. It’s not true. Let’s say you unknowingly eat some spoiled food. Later you get stomach cramps and vomit. You certainly don’t feel well, but thankfully your body is functioning correctly. Imagine the tragic consequences of taking a drug to calm your stomach, retaining the toxic food!

Coughing, sneezing and even fevers may actually be signs that your body is working correctly: the definition of true health.

Functioning Great

Your brain, spinal cord and all of your nerves control and regulate your body. Every cell, tissue, organ and system (even your immune system!) take orders from your nervous system. Thus, true health is how well your nervous system is orchestrating the workings of your body. Compromises brain-to-body or body-to-brain communications can be the underlying cause of a variety of health problems.

How to Stay Well Naturally

Adopting a proactive approach to health is like brushing your teeth twice daily to prevent dental problems. While rescue measure healthcare may look heroic on television, the real "heroes" practice true "health" care every day of their lives!

There are several things you can do to create a proactive approach to stay well such as:

Regular exercise – when was the last time a doctor gave you a prescription for exercise? Yet it is one of the most proactive things you can do.
Proper nutrition – Many of us do not eat the healthy foods we need to ensure our overall health. We skimp on fruits and vegetables and load up on added sugars and bad fats.
Adequate rest – Proper sleep balances your body's hormones, slows down the aging process and decreases risk factors associated with many illnesses.
Chiropractic care – Keeping your nervous system in tip-top condition helps keep other systems and organs of your body working at their best.
