Your Body is a Self-Healing Organism.

The body is a self-healing organism; it has the ability to heal itself without drugs and surgery. For instance, if you cut your arm, the body can heal the cut without Band-aids or antibiotics. Your body has within it an inborn ability to heal itself; in fact all living things have the ability to heal themselves naturally.

So, if your body has the ability to heal itself, why doesn’t it? The answer is that sometimes we don’t give our body enough time to heal on its own or the actual cause of the problem is still present interfering with the healing process. Most patients who develop health challenges search for a pill or a potion to relieve their discomfort instead of locating the cause of the problem and removing the cause. By removing the actual cause it allows our body an opportunity to heal naturally.

As someone who really struggles when I don’t sleep enough or very well, I am always on the lookout for ways to enjoy a better sleep.

In my experience as a Kanata Chiropractor, when people think about improving their health and creating Lifetime Wellness, they always consider diet and exercise first; quality and quantity of sleep is rarely considered.

Six to eight hours of sleep per night seems to be optimum for most adults, and both too much and too little can have significant adverse effects on your health.  Sleep deprivation is such a chronic condition these days that most people don’t even realize that they suffer from it.

Believe it or not Halloween is right around the corner, and although it’s a lot of fun for the kids it can also be very harmful to their health and our environment.

So to help keep it “green” this Halloween the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has come out with a list of recommendations.

Do you wake up feeling as though you haven’t slept at all, or maybe you’ve just dozed here and there? Do you have trouble completing a sentence before racing on to your next thought? Are you sick fairly often? Are you easily irritated? Are you stressed out about your spouse, your kids, your job, your family, your aging parents, your health, your money problems? Does thinking about your future stress you out?
