A Healthy Holiday Season

Thanksgiving has come and gone and the holiday season is officially here. This festive time of year is full of family, friends, fun, and celebration. As much as we enjoy the holidays, they can also bring some unwanted guests (like stress and overeating). Here are our tips to have a healthy holiday season.

Keep Moderation in Mind

One of the best parts of the holiday season is all the sweet treats and savory dishes. As much as we want you to live a healthy life, part of that is indulging every now and then and the holiday season is the perfect time to do it. Just keep moderation in mind! Enjoy that glass of eggnog or Christmas cookies, but don’t go straight for the unhealthy options. Enjoy the colorful fruit and veggie platters and eat well-rounded meals to prevent your health (and waistline) from being unhappy.

Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy

Hydration is an important part of your health year-round, but the buzz of the holiday season makes it easy to forget to drink water. Water helps your body flush out toxins and helps with digestions, sleep, maintaining clear skin, and more. Keep a bottle with you as your travel, shop, and party hop and make a goal of drinking half your body weight in ounces each day.

Wash Your Hands!

This one seems like a no-brainer, but it’s particularly important during the winter season. Most people refer to this time of year as “flu season”, but we’re usually more susceptible to illness when we’re dehydrated, sleep-deprived, lacking Vitamin D (fewer hours of sunshine in the winter!), and/or aren’t washing our hands enough. To prevent illness, avoid touching your face and wash your hands frequently.

Catch Some Zzz’s

There’s much to do during the holiday season: shopping, wrapping, decorating, cooking, and more! It can all be overwhelming and stressful. You might think putting off sleep to accomplish more will help you, but sleep deprivation will only hurt your health. In order to repair and recuperate, your body needs restful sleep. So do what you can in a day, power down your phone and TV, and get 7-8 hours of sleep!

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

“The online store is wonderful. It is very convenient for those busy and always on the go. I love all the purchase options. From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
