Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Conway and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Conway chiropractic practice.
Secrets to Longevity
Is longevity simply a matter of genetics, or are there things you can do to prolong your life?
The New England Centenarian Study, conducted in Boston, found that longevity does indeed run in families. You are four times more likely to live past 90 if you have a parent that is a centenarian.
But is that the whole story? Hardly. There are lifestyle changes you can adopt now to add years to your life. Try these:
- Eat a healthy diet
- Get sufficient sleep
- Exercise 30 minutes at least five days a week
- Don’t smoke
- Keep your mind alert and engaged
- Stay optimistic
- Active social life
- Lose excess weight
- Drink plenty of water
- Get regular chiropractic check ups
- Avoid risky behaviors (addictions, sky-diving, etc.)
Many factors influence life expectancy. Fortunately, many are under our control. Do you want to live to be 100? Then start making some changes so you can get there! It's never too late to start changing bad habits… good luck!
