All Food Is Not Created Equal

While being adjusted in the Bellomo Chiropractic Family Room (Yes, you can opt out but why would you want to?), the discussion turned to the food we eat and why good organic, nutrient dense food costs so much. That of course led to the topic of the movie Food Inc. If you haven’t seen it, we highly urge you to do so. You can find it on the internet or rent it from NetFlix. You might even find it at your public library. Whatever it takes, make a point of seeing it because it will change how you look at food and what you are eating.

You see most of us want to save money when it comes to buying food and as admirable as that is, it’s a mindset that can slowly kill you. You stand there and compare an organic carrot with a ‘natural’ carrot and opt for the cheaper one. After all, a carrot is a carrot isn’t it? What about chicken? Is it really important to find a free-range, organic bird? Isn’t something marked ‘natural’ just as good? Once you know the truth about where your food comes from and how it’s processed, you realize that dollar for dollar, the organic choice actually gives your more nourishment for your money.

At Bellomo Chiropractic, we believe in “Health Care” not “Sick Care”. We want your health to be better this year than it was last. Eating the right food goes a long way toward improving your health. So if you haven’t seen Food Inc. do your self a favor and check it out. It’s that important!

Bellomo Chiropractic – 5 Steps to Improved Back Health

Your Chiropractor can help you correct your back problems but you are responsible for maintaining your back health. It is important that the two of you work together to achieve your long term goals. To that end, Dr. John Bellomo recommends these five simple steps to improving your back health.

Check your sleeping habits – Use a chiropractic pillow that will maintain the proper curve in your neck. Also, avoid sleeping on your stomach. You can’t help but to keep your neck twisted in that position. In addition, if you are sleeping on your side, don’t curl up tight into a fetal position. Doing so reverses your natural spinal curves and over time causes problems.
Do not put your purse strap on your shoulder. It adds a disproportionate amount of weight to one shoulder pulling your spine out of alignment. In addition, do not put a wallet in your hip pocket. Sitting on it causes a tilt in your pelvis. Doing it day in and day out is like putting your spine into the wrong traction and is begging for trouble.
Lose weight – shedding one pound of fat can release ten pounds of stress off your lower back. The easiest way to start losing is to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup and sugar substitutes. They don’t metabolize well and increase your cravings. At Bellomo Chiropractic, we recommend eating organic food as close to how nature made it as possible and drinking half your body weight in ounces of pure water every day. Many people complain that they don’t like water but adding a slice of lemon or lime can make it easier to swallow.
Exercise – Take time to walk. It lowers stress and increases your circulation. If you add stretching exercises like yoga, you improve your spine strength and flexibility. Even if you have damaged your spine, there are gentle exercises that are good for you to do. The next time you come to the office, be sure to ask what exercise is recommended for you.
Quit Smoking – We all know smoking is bad for us but did you ever think about how it affects your back health? When you quit smoking it increases the life giving blood supply to your spinal disks.

There you have it, five steps to improving your back health. These are simple things that anyone can do to work with their chiropractor while achieving their health goals. It’s easy if you take them one at a time and allow them to become part of your daily routine. Your back will be glad you did!

John 3:16,17
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (17) For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
(Jesus is pure and without sin. Only His sacrifice could cleanse us from our sins and offer us eternal salvation. This gift so graciously offered to us can only be received in one way. We must believe that Christ our Lord and Savior, died on the cross for our sins.)
