Boost your immunity
Did you know that chronic sickness results in the most school absenteeism. Stress, depression, sickness and musculoskeletal disorders account for the majority of missed work days. The average worker misses seven days due to the flu and the average student misses 4.5 days from school for the same reasons. With our bodies hindered by colder temperatures, it is even more important that your spinal biomechanics and nervous system are working at the highest level to ensure healthy immune system function.
As chiropractors, we look at the whole person and want to help you develop wellness-oriented lifestyles; the type of living that can help reduce the incidence of being run down and ill. Your spinal column protects your spinal cord and the nerves that travel to all of your organs, tissues and cells within your body. The choices we make and the experiences we have can create spinal subluxations or misalignments in areas of the spine and weaken our immune system.
In 1975, Ronald Pero, chief of cancer prevention research at New York's Preventative Medicine Institute, began developing scientific ways to estimate individual susceptibility or likelihood to get chronic diseases. He found that how well your immune system responds is based on certain DNA-repairing enzymes and lack of those enzymes limit not only your lifespan but your ability to resist serious disease consequences.
In a study of 107 individuals, Pero found that the people receiving chiropractic care had 200 percent greater immune resistance than people who had not received chiropractic and 400 percent greater than people with cancer or other serious diseases. Many of us know someone who suffers from a weakened immune system and seems to constantly be run down and under the weather. Help us help them. Share this powerful research that could make a difference in their life. If your goal is to do something different this year and make this the healthiest year yet, you're going to have to try something different!
