Topic of the Month : BODY HEAL THY SELF

You are in control of and have total responsibility for your own health. The things you do, the things you eat, the drugs you take, the amount of exercise you get and the way you manage (or don’t manage) your stress all affect your health. You may not have control over everything, but it is your choice whether you enhance your body’s ability to be healthy or hinder it. The human body is a magnificent self-healing and regulating organism! This concept is unquestionably true but has been pushed aside by the thousands of messages you receive each day via the television, newspaper and magazines professing that your body needs drugs to help it heal. DON’T LISTEN TO THIS PROPAGANDA. There are always going to be times when medications are going to help your body heal or function, but the key word is help. Please understand that your body heals from the inside out, not the outside in. This means that your body has an Innate (inborn) Intelligence that tells it how many breaths you need to take each minute, how many times your heart should pump, how your body should process nutrients, how to fight off bacteria and viruses and how to heal damaged cells, just to name a few. This innate intelligence or “wisdom of the body” is what directs the healing. The healthy choices you make, including getting regular chiropractic care, eating right, exercising … all contribute to providing enough resources for your body to heal itself. On the other hand, being under high levels of stress, ingesting toxins (drugs and other toxic chemicals), having poor sleep, nutrition and exercise habits inhibit your body’s ability to heal.

Your health is a gift that is to be cherished and maintained. It is not something to be taken for granted. There are no “magic pills” and “quick fixes”. Don’t focus on “Outside In” healing. It is short term and the side effects are terrible. Concentrate on “Inside Out” healing. Enhance your body’s natural healing abilities. Support your body’s healing efforts and the results will be long-lasting. Health is defined as “Optimal physical, mental and social wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Good health is a lifestyle. It requires effort but the rewards derived are priceless and include: living longer, living more comfortably with the ability to do all the things you love and want to do; having enhanced energy; having enhanced mental focus and having a greater self-image. Chiropractic personifies the healthy lifestyle.

How Can You Support Your Health?

1. Regular Chiropractic Care – The Master Control System of your body is your Nervous System. Chiropractic care eliminates interference in the nervous system. Similar to regular dental check-ups to avoid tooth decay, regular nervous system check-ups will help you avoid spinal decay and nervous system damage, as well as providing for enhanced function of your nervous system. Enhanced nervous system function provides enhanced immune system function, improved digestion and flexibility (greatly improves your golf game), and will enhance the quality of your life. Get your nervous system check today.

2. Acupuncture – this is a wonderful way of supporting your body’s energies, providing for improved health.

3. Eat Right & Drink Water – make sure to eat fresh vegetables and fruit every day and reduce the simple carbohydrates, white sugars and junk food. Drink water! Drink approximately 50% of your body weight in ounces per day.

4. Exercise – get off your couch, away from your TV and computer and get moving. Movement is what keeps your body working. Remember if you don’t use it, you loose it.

5. Manage your Stress – stress is as damaging to your body as an automobile accident. Chiropractic care, good food, water, exercise and meditation are just a few of the ways in which you can manage your stress. Make this a priority.

Please note, I know it takes effort to incorporate these healthy habits into your life. Your children do what you do, so set a good example, if not for yourself, then for them. Get your kids on the right track before it is too late. If you care about your children, get their nervous systems checked and maintained. Dr. Stern has a specialty in Chiropractic Pediatrics (maternity through 18 years) and is skilled at working with children of all ages from newborns up.

Products of the Month : The Subluxation Station

Stern Chiropractic is now on the cutting edge of computerized measurement of nervous system interference. Don’t rely on pain to tell you there is a problem (by that time there is severe nervous system interference). The subluxation station measures and quantifies the interference in your nervous system and hyperactivity in your spinal muscles. This is then graphed and displayed in an easily understandable format for you to see. This high-tech system monitors your progress towards optimal nervous system health and can be used on people of all ages from infants through seniors.

In celebration of this new technology and our 3rd Anniversary here in Buffalo Grove, you and your family are cordially invited to receive a FREE Sub-Station analysis. Just call our office, mention this offer and schedule your family’s FREE Subluxation Analysis. DON’T LET HIDDEN NERVOUS SYSTEM INTERFERENCE ROB YOU AND YOUR FAMILY OF OPTIMAL HEALTH. This is a limited time offer so call today.

I hope this information helps you take control of your health and your life! If you have any questions, feedback or have any suggestions for future topics, please call or email me.

Gregg Stern, D.C., FICPA
