Have a Healthy and Happy Holiday Season

Christmas may have come and gone, but the holiday season isn’t over just yet. The holidays are full of celebrations and spending time with friends and family, but the season can quickly become one of excess. Here are our tips for a healthy holiday season.

  • Eat healthy
    We know there are bound to be some Christmas cookies, but focus on making healthy choices instead of overindulging. Start your day with a healthy breakfast like yogurt and fruit or oatmeal, which will help balance blood sugar and control your appetite later in the day. If you fill up on healthy foods, you will be less inclined to go for the leftover Christmas cake!

  • Stay hydrated
    Your body needs water to survive - every organ, tissue, and cell in your body depends on water to work correctly. Make a goal of drinking 1/2 oz. per pound that you weigh (if you weigh 160 lbs, drink 80 oz. of water per day). Staying hydrated will help your body remain healthy into the New Year.

  • Keep moving! 
    There is something wonderful about a winter walk, but so many of us avoid the outdoors in the cooler weather. Bundle up and check out your neighborhood Christmas lights or add in some at-home exercises to your routine. Remaining active during the holiday season will help prevent weight gain and added stress to your joints.]

  • Avoid chemical stressors
    Anything that goes into your body either nourishes it or it doesn’t - so avoid the stuff that doesn’t! We aren’t saying to completely avoid treats during the holidays, but do so in moderation. Limit your intake of salt, sugar, and alcohol - all of which are chemical stressors - and it will help you avoid negative effects like mood swings, hangovers, and weight gain. One way to do this at the New Year’s Eve party you’re attending is to alternate every alcoholic drink with a sparkling water or soft drink like juice.

  • Rest and relaxation 
    Now that is just what the (chiropractic) doctor ordered! A little R&R boosts your immune system, protects your heart, lowers risk of stroke, improves memory function, and so much more. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health, and proper rest and relaxation can help.

  • Care for your spine
    A healthy spine is essential to feeling your best. Because the nervous system controls every organ and cell in the body, we tend to focus on the health of the spine to ensure it is properly aligned. Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself, and it is our job to create an environment to make sure that happens.

At Healthy Life Chiropractic, we want to help you reach the best health possible, especially going in to the New Year. Contact us to schedule your next adjustment, and we wish you a healthy holiday season!

Patient Reviews

"Very pleased with the practice. The service is excellent and everyone seems to truly care about you as a person first. Most businesses see customers or money walking in, but these practitioners love what they do. It shows."

- Patty Uzar

"I've been with Healthy Life for many years. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The services offered are very beneficial to my wellness routine. I receive massages and adjustments regularly. They offer many packages and sales that makes it affordable for me. I have recently tried the hyperbaric chamber for both recovery and general health. This is has been really helpful since I exercise often and intensely. I have also noticed an improvement in my brain fog which comes from normal aging and day to day stress. Dr. Rob and Dr. Tina are very good chiropractors who make sure they are providing a complete wellness exam and service. I continue to maintain a healthy body and recover quickly from my day to day activities. Overall, I would recommend Healthy Life Chiropractic."

- Rachelle Prevost

"I absolutely love Healthy Life! The staff is wonderful and helpful! The doctors are amazing! I hurt my back a few months ago exercising, and nothing seemed to help! I went in for a routine visit, and explained. I was consistent with my adjustments, muscle stim and massage and within a few weeks, I am back to exercising without pain! I am a Flight Attendant, so closing overhead bins and pushing a heavy cart are necessary for my job, so I appreciate them keeping my healthy and not missing work! My foot levelers are a game changer! The best investment!

My update yesterday validated what my body told me! I am back to almost 100% You will love them!"

- Melissa Beach

"I am very grateful for the care I receive from the entire staff and doctors at HLC! They are very attentive to my specific health, well-being, and pain relief needs. I take advantage of the fact that I can go for chiropractic care, massage, therapy, supplements, pain relief, and more. It’s great to enter the practice and know that I will be treated like family."

- Jan Tardie

"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!"

- Erica Payne

"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."

- Cindy Chaisson

“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.”

–Vermillion Himes

"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!"
