Pamper Yourself Healthy!

womens health

You’re a woman who may be wearing way too many hats – wife, mother, coach, taxi driver, chef, laundress, shopper, maid, employee, employer, handywoman, nurse…the list could go on and on with the number of roles you play and jobs you have to do each and every day.

So…when do you make time for you?

It’s important that you find the time to pamper yourself. Women are generally so used to giving of themselves to their families and others that they seldom take time to give to themselves in little ways that make a difference. “Pamper myself? Why I just don’t have the time,” you might say.

Make the time – it’s healthy and you deserve it.

Here are some ways to treat yourself to some of the “little” things that lift your spirit and keep you healthy:

• Take a nice half-hour bubble bath – and lock the bathroom door!
• Treat yourself to a manicure or pedicure…or both!
• Get a relaxing half-hour massage – or better yet – go for an hour!
• Sit in a comfortable chair and put your feet up for a half hour – maybe even take a little catnap!
• Try out a new hairstyle or some strategically placed highlights!
• Go to the local coffee shop with a book and sip a latte or some Chai tea while reading the romance novel you’ve been dying to start!
• Light some candles, put on some soft music, get yourself a cup of chamomile tea and sit in semi darkness. Now…relax your body, mind and spirit!
• Get a babysitter and go out on a date with your husband or significant other – pampering both of you!

It’s important for your health and well-being to take care of yourself in the same way you care for others. And with that said – keep to your regular chiropractic adjustment schedule. Stress has a way of doing some real damage to you physically, mentally and emotionally and chiropractic adjustments keep you on an even keel!

Dr. Michael  Asks some important questions of interest to Nixa residents - Chiropractor Nixa Dr. Michael Asks...

Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Nixa chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
