Foundations of Health

Health and vitality begin with these six foundational principles:

  • Breathing~ Focusing your attention on deep healthy breathing helps reduces stress. Alignment of the ribcage and pelvis is another integral component to optimize breathing patterns and health outcomes. Contact Me to request a FREE breathing questionnaire. 
  • Hydration~ For optimal health, drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Making sure you're hydrated is important to muscle and organ function. Constipation is an indication you're dehydrated.  The body extracts water, via the colon, if it doesn't have enough circulating throughout your system.
  • Nutrition~ Eat high quality organic food that's right for your biochemical individuality. Contact Me to request a FREE primal pattern diet questionnaire today, to help determine your optimal balance of nutrition.
  • Exercise and Movement~ Exercises and stretching can have profound effects on your range of motion and flexibility. As we move through life it's important to include energy building exercises for vitality. Contact Me to request a FREE flexibility questionnaire.
  • Sleep~ Getting to bed before 10:30 pm every night will promote optimal health.  Our brain and bodies need repair, and sleep is how we attain that.  If you find yourself waking up between 2:00-3:00 am, it's a sign that your body isn't getting the nutrition it needs to switch from physical repair to mental repair. 
  • Thoughts~ Healthy thoughts create healthy bodies. According to the National Science Foundation, 80% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of them are repetitive.  All the more reason to change our mental landscape.  Contact Me to request the 4 Doctors questionnaire to find out how balanced your mental landscape is.
Health is a relationship between you and your body. 

Like any lasting relationship, it takes time. Acquiring the right nutrients, effectively balancing tasks, incorporating movement and creating space to decompress/manage stress is a journey. As with all adventures, we need friends  to help along the way.  Contact Align - Integrative Spinal Care to aid in your journey towards balance.
