How Do We Clean Our Spine?
We clean our teeth, face and hair daily.
We get them maintained by our dentist, beautician and hair stylist.
We do that so they can last us a lifetime without "decaying".
But...
Do we "clean" or maintain our spine?
The structure that holds us up and protects our primary life support system (Central Nervous System).
Years of neglect and "abuse" (poor lifestyle habits/ injury/ birth trauma) to our spine can lead to spinal decay.
It could be the cause of many of our health issues including:
. Headaches
. Back/Joint pain
. Fatigue
. Spinal degeneration (bone spurs...)
. Postural distortion (hunching)
. Numbness in the limbs
. Low immunity (frequent colds...)
. Poor health...
Keys to maintaining healthier spine to last us a lifetime:
Daily-
. Stretch your body
. Move more; and take breaks from smart phones or computer or our love-affair with the CHAIR
. Adopt proper posture in everything we do
. Avoid carrying stuff too heavy for our body weight or carrying a load for long periods (including heavy handbags and babies)
. Eat well and avoid "toxic" habits (smoking...)
Regularly-
. Exercise
. Be in nature (by the beach, in greenery or snowy mountain) and practise deep breathing
. Get your spine checked and maintained by a Chiropractor!
. Other good healthy habits...
So here it is, SPINE CLEANING.
