The environment that we live in is directly related to health of our bodies. Fish who live in a polluted lake are going to be much more toxic than those who live in a pristine mountain lake. The same is true with humans. By cleaning up and reducing toxins in our day to day life, we not only heal our planet, we also heal our bodies.
To reduce toxicity, focus on natural organic sustainable practices. Where can we REDUCE waste? What items can we REUSE? What can we RECYCLE? How can we PREVENT wasting valuable resources? Below are a few ideas to help you focus on protecting our home planet. Luckily, making good choices for the Earth usually coincides with good choices for our bodies.
- Limit the amount of take-out you eat to reduce the use of disposable containers (or bring your own reusable containers from home).
- Buy food in the bulk section at your local grocery store.
- Buy more whole fruits and veggies instead of packaged or processed foods.
- Walk, bike or take the bus to work at least one time per week.
- Make homemade, non-toxic cleaning products to reduce the number of toxins in your environment and bodies (www.wellnessmama.com is a great resource).
- Buy local products to reduce the amount of energy used to ship items long distances.
- Use a refillable water bottle (avoid plastic, instead use glass) and drink more water. It takes 100 cups of water to make just one cup of coffee!
- Reduce the amount of prescription and over the counter medications you take by seeing your chiropractor more often.
According to a study of 70,000 participants by Blue Cross Blue Shield, those who visit a chiropractor regularly experience the following :
- 60% decrease in hospital admissions
- 62% fewer outpatient surgeries and procedures
- 85% lower pharmaceutical costs
Chiropractic is 100% natural and organic; we take nothing from the body nor add anything to it. Prevent wasting valuable resources on drugs, surgery, and hospitalizations by keeping your body healthy and your nervous system optimized! (We even have a bus stop right outside our office)!
