Self-Care & Seasonal Depression
October 11, 2024
After the last year of events, it is finally time to return outside. This means that all of that time we spend inside and inactive now must come to an end, and we need to get back to our old selves (or move on to our better selves). This summer has never been more important for everyone— from finally moving onto the next stage of our lives, to achieving everything that needed to be put on hold for a year. For many people, this meant putting their health aside to take care of family and friends when they needed it most. But this summer is the time we return to taking care of ourselves too. Here are some tips on your first goal for self-care: eating healthier.
Water is one of the most amazing natural forces in the world. It has the ability to carve rock and cut through metal. The best diet is one which includes a lot of water. What’s more, is that because we are made primarily of water, we need to drink more of it than we think. In adding a significant amount of water to our mealtimes, and throughout the day, we fill our stomachs faster while staying hydrated. This means we eat less, and that makes us crave healthier, more filling foods.
It just so happens that our favorite healthy eating tip is also about foods primarily filled with water. Vegetables and fruits are made of a majority of water as well, and so it can be very easy to fill up extra stomach space with those high-water-content foods. In fact, we offer an amazing product called Juice Plus, giving you the benefits of fruits and vegetables even when you don’t have time!
Chiropractic medicine uses a combination of your body weight and movements to stretch out your muscles and provide immediate pain relief, among other benefits. What you eat away from the practice is up to you, but we are here to help you along the way.
