Wellness Requirements for the Modern Homo Sapien

Posted on Apr 14th, 2007 by Dr. J : Spinechecker Dr. J
AVOID SLEEPING ON YOUR STOMACH
It twists your neck and puts stress on your brain stem (Houston Control).

STRETCH EVERY MORNING AFTER GETTING OUT OF BED
It gives your spine strength and flexibility. Try Sun Salutations to begin your day.

LEARN AND PRACTICE A BREATHING TECHNIQUE
A simple but powerful example: in a comfortable seated position, breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth. Count 30 full breaths with attention on the space between the inhalation and exhalation.

KEEP YOU WALLET OUT OF YOUR BACK POCKET
Especially when sitting or driving. It torques the foundation of your spine.

DRINK AT LEAST 1O GLASSES OF SPRING WATER EVERYDAY
Hydrate every cell in your body. I love TRINITRY water!

AVOID DRUGS
Including alcohol, sugar, cigarettes, and sugar.

TAKE A WALK AFTER DINNER
It aids digestion.

BEGIN A EXERCISE ROUTINE
Invigorate your body physically. Motion is life. Your body was created for movement.

CULTIVATE A MEDIATION PRACTIVE
Hundreds of scientific studies show that the effects of meditation can be profound.

GET ADJUSTED BY YOUR FAVORITE CHIROPRACTOR
Specific adjustments to your spine and nervous system enables you to have a free flow of communication between your brain and body. The net result is optimal health.

I like this list… poignant, simple and yet challenging…. gonna have to make a habit of stretching straight out of bed after waking up in the morning…. now THAT's a challenge!  But I am ready to break old habits/patterns and do what is best for my overall wellness.  Thanks for posting this entry!
