Have you ever put together a puzzle only to find that you are missing one piece. What does it do? It ruins the entire picture doesn't it? I tell my patients every day that they have to view their health as a puzzle. If you are missing one piece to the puzzle of wellness it leads to dysfunction in the body, and that dysfunction will eventually lead to disease if not addressed. We are going to look at 4 pieces of the wellness puzzle although their are many more which I discuss on my website. The first is NUTRITION. You are what you eat! Or more correct would be your health and wellness are dictated by what you eat. Be proactive in learning what is good and what is not good for your body. The second piece is Exercise. Surprise, surprise huh? But it is true! "If you don''t loose, you WILL loose it!" I always tell my patients that the day that they stop moving will be the day that they stop moving...in the ground! Motion is vital for the health and well being of the body. The third is a healthy functioning nervous system. The NS is what runs the entire body. How long do you think you would live with out food? How about water? Now, how long do you think you would live if I took away your nervous system? Thats right, you would die instantly! It vitally important that the nervous system is running at 100%, 100% of the time!! Chiropractors are the only doctors that work to help optimize the nervous system. We take away any interference so that your brain can communicate with the rest of your body! Forth is Positive Mental Attitude. With out PMA it is impossible to acheive wellness. The stress that is involved with a negative mental attitude will one day kill you, and it sure isn't quite as fun as PMA either! So go out and put your Wellness Puzzle together and make sure not to leave out any pieces!Call Bellevue Whiplash Center at Back in Action Chiropractic today at 425-635-0495
