International Chiropractic Pediatric AssociationSince it is the holidays, you can be irresponsible and careless. You eat can mass quantities, put all sorts of horrible “holiday” items in your body, stop exercising, miss adjustments, spend too much, and put important things off because, after all, it is the holidays. In total, you end up with a 6-10 week reign of terror on your life and body!
If you add to these two months to all of the other times you tend to abuse or ignore your health, such as parties, anniversaries, other holidays, birthdays, weddings, weekends, secretaries day, etc, you are basically being irresponsible for your health (and many other areas of your life) conservatively three months out of every year (25% of every year)!
By the time you are 40 years old, you will have spent 10 years doing serious, possibly irreparable damage to your body, your finances, and possibly your whole life. This is another reason why people are supposed to live to 100, but only make 75 (25% off)!
The holidays, are a time designated to celebrate and appreciate life’s blessings. However, they have become a time dedicated to shortening life and falling short of your potential. Clearly, it is time to look at the holidays from a new perspective.
Of the thousands of sick and suffering people I have met, examined, and consulted, not once have I heard one of them say, “I wish I had done less for my health all of these years.”
New Holiday Rules:
Due to the extreme mental, physical and chemical stress brought on by the holidays, please ADD, do not subtract from your current adjustment and home spinal rehab schedule!
