In addition to the chiropractic care that our office is providing you and your family, following

The 100 Year Lifestyle FitNESS Principles will help you function better for a lifetime.

Week 3- 100 Year Lifestyle FitNESS

Neurology

Neurology=Function. Neurology comes first! Your nervous system controls and coordinates all your body functions, including your muscles, organs, and systems. You must have a healthy nervous system for your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, and your balance to be stable. Therefore, many top athletes and performers in the world utilize chiropractic care as a central part of their fitness program. Be sure to get your spine and nervous system checked by a 100 Year Lifestyle Affiliate Chiropractor! Find a Chiropractor near you.

Read about FitNESS on our 100YL article, Performance 100.

Nutrition

Nutrition = Fuel. Your nutritional habits will fuel your life. Consuming a diet filled with organic fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, very low sugar, and processed foods should be the way you eat as a lifestyle. Isn’t it time you get off the weight-loss roller coaster, cleanse, and make healthy eating a daily habit? This will sustain you not just while getting into shape but will keep you healthier as you age. Check out our podcast Episode 13: NATURAL HEALING FROM HIPPOCRATES. In this episode, Dr. Eric Plasker interviews Brian Clement, ND, Director of the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, where people travel from all over the world to heal from chronic disease. They discuss nutrition, cleansing, the nervous system, environment, mental health strategies, and much more they can make a difference for you right away!

Endurance

Endurance=Longevity. Life is a marathon, one sprint at a time. Through cardiovascular exercise, which includes walking, running, bike riding, and any activity that will increase your heart rate, you will strengthen your cardiovascular system. Start slow and steady, be consistent, and increase the frequency, intensity, and duration of your endurance training as time goes by. You will be amazed at how your body progresses.

Read more about endurance in our 100YL article, Get Your ESS in Shape.

Strength

Strength= Independence. If you want to be independent as you age, you must make your strength a priority today. Whether you use weights or do strength training through yoga, Pilates, or other plyometric training, it is important to keep yourself strong as a part of a lifestyle.

Read more about strength and FitNESS on our 100YL article, Performance 100.

Structure

Structure= Activity. The health of your structure will determine the level of activity you can enjoy. Having a healthy, straight, strong spine is vital to your quality-of-life and fitness in the short and long-term. This is another reason why chiropractors have become a central figure on the healthcare team for millions of people, including the U.S. Olympic Team.

Being active and independent will be an important factor in your immediate and long-term happiness. Follow these Performance 100 principles, live your ideal 100 Year Lifestyle and enjoy the quality of life you deserve.

Toxins

Don’t Eat Any Processed Food. Choose organic and Glyphosate-free! Learn how to shop for foods without Glyphosate in our 100YL article, Glyphosate-Free Shopping.

Mental/Emotional Health

Meditate, Write in Your Journal, Listen to a Podcast, Take Time for Self-Care, Express Gratitude, Read a Book.

Feeling or Function

November 27, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

“How Are You?” is a common question we use to engage with another person when we meet on the street, at work, in school or at family gatherings.

Most of us reply with the answer, “Fine!” or some version of that to keep the conversation short and social because most people are asking out of politeness and don’t really want to get in a deep discussion. You, however, need to know how you are really doing so ask yourself the question but expand on it by adding a few key words at the end:

1. How are you feeling? Seriously, how is your body? How is your mind? Are you experiencing any symptoms on a recurring basis such as neck or back pain, headaches, stomach or other digestive disturbances, tension or stress? These symptoms are indicators that there may be imbalances in your body that need to be addressed. How are you addressing them? Are you masking these symptoms with medications or are you eliminating the underlying cause? Getting to the cause is a much better plan. This leads to the next question.

2. How are you functioning? If your body is functioning properly then you have the opportunity to feel healthier most of the time and also perform at your highest level. Your body can heal itself from symptoms and conditions and you will be adaptable to the stresses in the world.

Your nervous system is the master control system of your body and must be healthy for you to function properly. Recent research has revealed that neuro reflexes support homeostasis, which is body balance, by modulating the function of organ systems and regulating the immune system.1 Many of our patients report that the chiropractic care we provide helps their body eliminate recurring symptoms while it functions at much higher levels. When you make Function a priority over Feeling, you will appreciate a greater level of health and vitality every day.

3. How are you living? Is your lifestyle supporting you in function and feeling at your highest level for a lifetime? If not, you may be headed for a roller coaster ride of deterioration that could last for decades. Through The 100 Year Lifestyle education and chiropractic care we provide, you and your loved ones will be able to answer the “How are you?” question with gusto! and enjoy the long, healthy, quality of life you deserve.

Trends, Casualties, and Control

November 15, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Longevity trends continue to show that people are living longer than ever. A recent article in The Atlantic (featured image) titled What Happens When We All Live to 100 reveals that life expectancy has increased by three months per year since 1840. If this trend continues, and it appears to be, life expectancy will be 88 by the middle of this century and 100 by the year 2100. This is a staggering statistic.

Interestingly according to The Atlantic, “the lengthening of life spans seems independent of any single, specific event. It didn’t accelerate much as antibiotics and vaccines became common. Nor did it retreat much during wars or disease outbreaks. The trend holds, in most years, in individual nations rich and poor.”
Make no mistake about it, the odds of you living longer than ever are increasing every day. This is happening whether you like it or not.

But how do you make sense of this if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a life threatening disease or condition? We have all known someone whose life was sadly cut short because of an accident or an injury.

Sadly, there are going to be casualties along the way. Certainly there will be many people who we know that won’t make it to 100. Some people won’t make it to the age of 80. Others, tragically, may not even make it to college or even their first birthday. My father, for example, passed away at 78 after suffering from allopathic-induced Alzheimer’s for nearly a decade.

We all know people who have been casualties and passed way too soon, much younger than 100. This is a sad truth and a reality that each of us face when we are confronted with daily choices and the lifestyle that we choose to live.

This leads us to the important discussion about what we can control and what we cannot control. We cannot control when our time is up. However, for most of us, regardless of our family history, our potential is to live an active, healthy, quality life to 80, 90, 100 years and beyond. To get there in style and enjoy the journey along the way it is important that we make 100 Year Lifestyle choices.
