Most people who exercise and eat well do it because it allows their body to function at its full potential. Simply put, you are always better off with good nutrition and proper exercise than without. Whether a person is in excellent health or poor health in Minnetonka MN, giving your body the nutrition it needs is always a benefit.

Healthy Diet and Exercise in Minnetonka MN

We can then say that eating a healthy diet and exercising properly are best used in a non-therapeutic manner. This means that you choose to engage in these activities on a regular ongoing basis, not to treat disease, but because it’s what you do if you want to be as healthy as possible.

Of course, there are people who use diet and exercise as a method of treating symptoms (therapeutically). These people eat well or exercise only when they have some kind of health problem or symptom. Once they’re feeling better they go right back to their old unhealthy habits.

Guess which person is going to have a better overall quality of life and better health? Obviously the person that routinely partakes in healthy habits will always have a better quality of life and be healthier than people who live therapeutically (only treating symptoms).

How does this relate to chiropractic?

Chiropractic is no different than exercising or eating well. People who use chiropractic only as a therapy can NEVER enjoy optimal health. Here’s what I mean. You have 100% life in your brain. That life is what runs and controls your body. The life in your brain uses your spinal cord and nerves to run and control your body. Only when 100% of the life in your brain reaches your body can you even think about having 100% health.

Your spine is under constant unavoidable stresses that cause it to move out of alignment. When this happens the vertebra can subluxate (misalign) and the life from your brain can get pinched off. This is why getting your spine checked on a routine basis is best if you want your body to function at it’s best all of the time!

Answer these questions honestly and make your decision on how you want to live:

• How much of the life in your brain do you want in your body?  What if you feel great?  What if you feel horrible?
• How long/often do you want that life in your body?

I hope for your sake you answered 100%, at all times and forever. If that’s what you want, then you can’t use chiropractic only as a therapy (getting adjusted only when you hurt). You are always better off when all of the life in your brain reaches your body, so get adjusted just for the health of it!
