Sleeping Baby

Secret 1: Sufficient Rest


Did you know that we roughly sleep about 33 percent of our lives? To put it into perspective, if we live to be 90 years old, we are roughly sleeping about 30 years of our life. Therefore, proper sleep and sufficient rest are critical for the body to "reset" itself and optimize its healing potential.


The body heals best when we get good rest.

Bonus tip: Turning your phone off or shutting off your last episode of Netflix (1-2 hours) before bedtime will boost your opportunity to get sufficient rest and increase your energy levels for the next morning.


Walking Barefoot (Exercising)

Secret 2: Physical Activity


"It is said that there are no magic bullets in healthcare; however, physical activity comes as close to a magic bullet as anything we have." - James Rippe, MD


Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude, and your mood.

Taking time out of your busy day to go for a short 20 minute walk can boost energy levels and allow the body to burn +100 calories.


A short walk can also:

  • Maintain a healthy weight and lose body fat.

  • Prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer and type 2 diabetes.

  • Improve cardiovascular fitness.

  • Strengthen your bones and muscles.

  • Improve muscle endurance.


These are just some benefits a short walk can do to help the body regain health and facilitate with the natural self-healing process.


Bonus tip: Sufficient outside exercise, for example, running in the park, hiking in the forest, or walking on the beach, can have huge health benefits! Being outdoors allows you to receive fresh air, sunlight, and grounding (direct skin contact with the surface of the Earth) can decrease stress levels, reconnect with inner-self, and help the body heal naturally.


Proper Nutrition

Secret 3: Proper Nutrition


Proper nutrition and the foods we consume daily can directly correlate with our optimal healing potential.


Best foods for optimal health and healing

  • Fruits, berries, vegetables, herbs, and spices (local, organic, if possible)

  • Wild-game meat or free-range, grass-fed meat (local, organic, if possible)

  • Wild (ocean safe) seafood

  • Organic Nuts and Seeds

  • Free-range eggs (local, organic, if possible)

  • Toxin-free water


Man is what he eats – Lucretius.

Foods to avoid (leads to chronic inflammation)

  • Processed foods - microwaved meals, bread, cakes, cookies, candy, biscuits, packaged foods, etc.

  • Fried foods - pork, chicken, beef, fish, potatoes, cheese, etc.

  • Dairy - cow's milk, yogurt, cheese, etc.

  • Grains - breakfast cereals, wheat, barley, oats, quinoa, rye, and rice

  • Artificial sweeteners and sugars - saccharin (Sweet n' Low), aspartame (Equal), and sucralose (Splenda)

  • Unhealthy cooking oils - Corn oil, Canola oil, Cottonseed oil, Soy oil, Sunflower oil, Safflower oil, Grapeseed oil, Rice Bran oil


Chronic inflammation can damage healthy cells, tissues, and organs. Over time, it can lead to diseases like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and heart disease.


Where to buy your food?

When in doubt, buy local and organic (when possible).


Bonus tip: Use the "The Dirty Dozen" and "Clean 15" lists to give you knowledge on purchasing specific organic foods to prevent pesticide toxicity. These lists are updated yearly so make sure to double check the current year for accuracy of the top contaminated foods with pesticides.


Proper Prayer and Meditation

Secret 4: State of Positivity and Gratitude


Being in a state of positivity and gratitude opens up a world of possibilities. A positive attitude attracts positive things into your life. This includes your finances, relationships, career, opportunities in life, health, and overall well-being. Law of Attraction is a fantastic book to learn more about this incredible principle.


Gratitude (aka positive energy) creates positive energetic waves into the world and becomes just a better way to live. And when you live better, you get all the rewards and more!


But here is where the magic really happens...


When you are in a consistent positive state, you are more likely to accomplish anything you want to do. You are more likely to feel good (on the inside) and take action (on the outside). In doing so, your body begins to take that positive energy (via the nervous system) to regenerate and return back to its original state of being or wholeness.


Gratitude is the great multiplier, so say thank you for your health every single day. – Rhonda Byrne

Bonus tip: Putting yourself in a regular positive state allows you to take action more consistently. And taking action is what allows you to fulfill and receive those amazing rewards in life.


Proper Nerve Supply (Chiropractic)

Secret 5: Proper Nerve Supply (Chiropractic)


The nervous system controls and regulates all other systems in the human body. Think of the nervous system as a central operating center that transmits specific messages to all the cells, tissues, muscles, and organs throughout the body.


Nerve interference or compromise


Electrical signals via the nervous system can become compromised due to any previous falls, auto accidents, sporting injuries, toxic chemicals, job injuries, concussions, physical or emotional stress, poor posture, or even birth trauma.


When these messages are compromised or develops any interference, the body begins to break down at a faster rate leading to DIS-EASE, dysfunction, and eventually and decreased quality of life and health.


A chiropractor is trained in analyzing, detecting, and correcting the spine via a chiropractic adjustment with the intention of maintaining or restoring the nervous system back to a proper neurological and structural state within the body.


Having a proper nerve supply (without any compromise) from brain to body is critical in order to heal naturally and maintain health.


Look to the nervous system as the key to maximum health. – Galen

Bonus tip: Getting checked regularly and adjusted by a chiropractor allows your brain and body to function at its maximum potential. By doing so, your body has the ability to heal naturally and function optimally.
