National Chiropractic Health Month

October is National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM). NCHM is a nationwide campaign sponsored by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), which recognizes chiropractic professionals as preventive care providers with expertise in optimizing health. This year's theme is "Why Weight? Get Healthy."

According to the Center for Disease Control, obesity affects more than 60 percent of all adults in the United States.

There are many things that can be done to loose weight, but the biggest step is the first.  The ACA recommends taking some of these small steps:

- Follow a balanced diet - emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans

- Eat less harmful food - reduce intake of sugar, soda, fats and processed foods

- Drink plenty of water - try for several glasses a day

- Exercise regularly - aim for 20 - 30 minutes, three to four times a week

- Stay positive - the right attitude will lead to greater success


In my office, many patients have had great success through the homeopathic hCG diet.  Unlike traditional hCG programs, there are no injections of high levels of the hormone hCG. Instead, smaller amounts are taken orally.  One patient in particular has lost more than 40 lbs in just 4 weeks!  We are so proud of him and his decision to be healthy! Whatever method of weight loss you choose, October is a great month to get started. If you need assistance in loosing weight, please contact our office. We want you to be healthier. We want you to succeed! Keith Biggs, DC www.eastmesachiropractor.com www.therapeuticfoods.blogspot.com biggschiropractic@gmail.com
