Benefits of Drinking Water

Warmer weather means we need to be even more vigilant about drinking plenty of water. Among the many benefits: It keeps us cooler. Getting the right amount of water each day also helps increase our metabolism and drinking a glass before a meal helps us feel full faster, so we’re less likely to overeat. Water is also good for digestion, healthy skin – and just about everything related to a healthy body! Drink water even when you are not thirsty. A good rule of thumb is to drink between a half-ounce and 1 ounce of water for every pound of body weight.

Why Should I see a Chiropractor?

Although chiropractic care is most often thought to help with back pain, it can also be beneficial for a variety of spinal related dysfunction such as headaches, neck pain, perinatal care, and pediatric care. Patients also report improvement in sleep, digestion, mood, and overall energy levels once they start chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring and maintaining the health of your joints, muscles, and nerves through the use of an adjustment. A spinal adjustment can restore normal movement, relieve pain, and stimulate higher function of your brain and nervous system resulting in a renewed sense of vitality. Chiropractic adjustments are safe, effective and a wise investment in improving your health.

Timing is Everything

Waiting is essential, required and can’t be rushed. A spiritual practice that involves knowing when to pause and stay open and when to move and take action. Honouring and trusting the mystery of life’s timing. Patiently awaiting is one of the more difficult things we have to learn in a human body. In a world that never stops, practicing the fine art of slowing down and tuning in invites a deep inner knowing and wisdom that can only be revealed rather than forced. There is a sacred timing once we unhook from the mind’s chatter, learning to differentiate our instincts from our fear awaiting an inner green light to reveal a clear yes or no. Trusting the answer will unfold at the perfect timing instead of the one we have pressured ourselves to create and re-enforce.

Practice Makes Perfect

When adjusting to new dentures you may notice minor differences in your speech. Lisping or whistling is not unusual. It may take a week or two to adjust, but natural speech will return with practice. Speaking in front of a mirror and reading aloud are excellent exercises to speed up progress. Swallowing before speaking will help to secure the denture in place. Staying hydrated is important as you may experience a dry mouth, which can inhibit proper suction and your denture may drop when speaking. If the problem is chronic, your denturist may be able to make other recommendations.
