Who else wants lower health care costs? Continued...
Last month we started a "book report" of "Discovering Wellness: How staying healthy can make you rich". The American Cancer Society reported in 2003 that more than 1.3 million people were diagnosed with cancer. Did you know that studies have shown that about one third of cancer deaths are related to too much weight, being physically inactive and poor nutrition? The authors calculate the cost of cancer in our country is $719 per person per year - every person in the country, adults and children.
Every day we make choices, some good for us, some less so. Many things, like regular exercise and eating our veggies, are not news to us and are always areas that can use some attention. Others, like the role of chiropractic care, may be less obvious.
While many people think about chiropractic for neck and back pain, chiropractic adjustments have a much more profound effect on how well your body works than just pain - like necessary exercise and nutrition. Pain signals from our body are similar to the engine light going on in your car. It means you are in "emergency" mode. Most often, a problem has been brewing, and pain means your body can't deal with it anymore. Did you know that very often, cancer is painless? Having or not having pain is no measure of health.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore normal movement of the bones of the spine, in turn allowing the delicate nerves to work better. The better the nerves work, the better the muscles and the rest of the body work, including the immune system. This makes chiropractic adjustments valuable not only to the comfort of our body, but in how well our bodies function. Better function equals better health. Be well adjusted!
