Chiropractic and Cleanse
We did it! Shannon (my wife) and I went through a ten day cleanse in February; we realized several good results including 13 lbs. of weight loss between us. We now plan to do a cleanse program two times per year. We are improving (this is a journey not a race) daily food choices as well to help our digestive tracts become more healthy and functional.
So what does the digestive tract have to do with the spine and/or Chiropractic? Good question; for one thing, the Central Nervous System; or the "CNS", consists of the brain and spinal cord; the nerve supply for the entire body. The digestive tract is as amazingly complex as the CNS, and as with the spine, many of us do not take the best care of either on a regular basis.
When you restore the normal function of the spine with chiropractic adjustments, good nutrition; proper rest; good exercise and stress management, you restore the brains ability to communicate with the body via the 150 miles of nervous tissue in the average adult human body. This includes improving signals to and from the stomach, the small intestine, the liver, the kidneys etc; all part of the digestive system.
When you restore the normal health of the digestive tract; you allow the digestive system to communicate efficiently utilizing a healthy CNS, allowing the proper release of the many hormones, enzymes, proteins etc., resulting in the optimal absorption of the "good nutrients". This results in a positive circle rather than the negative snowball many of us experience when we let our spine and digestive tract down without regular care.
A healthy spine and digestive tract taken care of naturally will give us the best opportunity for healthy quality lives. The great thing about the human body is no matter what stage of life you are in; child or adult of any age; good life style choices will result in positive change.
I encourage all of you to give your body the chance to give you good health, so let us know how we can help!
