At Home Exercise Routine---

Got Exercise?

The first thing to have is a set of light weight dumbbells. You can pick these up almost anywhere. I often just go to our local Walmart.

The TV has an "On Demand" which has a number of great home exercises training's.

You don't necessarily need a mat because you may have carpet. This may be easier than on the hardwood. But if you are on a harder floor, by all means, get a mat...

“You Are What You Eat!”

Having A Healthy Diet

We’ve all heard that one. In other words, feed the body bad stuff and it won’t work as good. Bad stuff In equals Bad stuff Out!

On the same token: take good care of the body and put good stuff in; you will get good things out.

Eat good, exercise, avoid too many toxins and your body will work good! Think about those who don’t have a healthy diet. They don’t feel as good, look as good, maybe work or function as good. After all, that is the definition of health... 100% Function of the body!

Check out this detox video. I believe chelation is fine; I wouldn't take medication though...so I wouldn't do that one they are eluding to. I also usual recommend drinking a lot of water. My same rules for the best health applies. Eat right, get good rest, manage your stress levels, exercise, and get your spine adjusted.

Sitting Can Be Hazardous to Your Health

You might agree right away if you’re a couch potato.  But think about it.  If you work in an office you are probably spending a good majority of your day sitting most of the day, if not all day.

According to Cancer.org. A new study from the American Cancer Society researchers [found]  "it's not just how much physical activity you get, but how much time you spend sitting that can affect your risk of death. "

It is important for your health to be physically active.  Stopping at the gym before or after work, going for a walk or run daily in your neighborhood is important, however, it doesn’t always make up for the hours you may be sitting each day.

According to the Study, researchers found that "more leisure time spent sitting was associated with higher risks of mortality, particularly in women. Women who reported more than 6 hours/day of sitting were 37% more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat fewer than 3 hours a day. Men who sat more than 6 hours a day were 18% more likely to die than those who sat fewer than 3 hours per day. "

If you are physically active, look at ways to decrease the amount of hours a day you spend sitting each day.  Whenever possible stand at your desk and move around.  Rather than sit down while on your coffee break or lunch break, walk for a few minutes.  Anything you can do to decrease the amount time you spend sitting helps.

My Doctor Told Me To Lose Weight...Then Come Back And See Him!

Definitely more weight added on to an already unstable or degenerated spine and discs doesn't help but it's rarely the actual cause of your back pain.

Most often, the patient's that are really hurting from back pain or leg pain can't exercise!

Since They Cannot Exercise It's Extremely Hard To Lose Weight!!

The DRX9000 Spinal Decompression machine is designed to handle someone who weighs up to 400lbs, and can treat anyone up to 6'10" tall. At CT Spine And Disc Center we have helped many of those patients that have gained a good deal of weight simply because they were in so much pain they couldn't be active anymore.

Once we got their backs better they were then able to work out, be more active, and therefore take off the pounds!

If your back or leg pain has caused you to stop being active and even gain weight,call the Chiropractors at CT Spine & Disc Center today. For pain relief - Call 633-8756 now!
