Quality and quantity of sleep are both hugely important when it comes to maintaining our mental and physical health. Lack of sleep is even connected to all sorts of health problems, even dementia. As a result, it’s important to make sure you’re getting the requisite sleep consistently. 

Below are a few ways you can better achieve the 7-9 hours needed each 24-hour period for your body and brain to regenerate and cleanse itself from the day’s events.

1.) Exercise Often

When you hit the pillow after a day of being active, you’ll likely fall asleep far easier and sleep more soundly through the night. Lack of exercise can also increase anxiety. Your body will still have energy to burn when your mind is telling you it’s time to rest.

2.) Have a Caffeine Cut-Off Time

4pm is about time to quit the coffee if you plan to get to sleep by 10pm. Drink no more than 2 cups of coffee throughout the day in order to achieve more restful sleep at night.

It’s a sad fact of reality that even the things we do that are good for us in most ways but might not be so great for our bodies, and running is one of them. Did you know that, no matter what, your body is constantly going through stress during your leisure jog? 

Read on for a few tips that will help you ensure that your life as a runner runs long as possible before you have to hang up those running shoes.

Stretch… A Lot

Each time you run, for every 5 miles you go, give yourself a 45-minute stretch session to ensure your muscles and joints get the tension-relief/pain-relief benefits. Yoga is an exceptional tool to complement your active lifestyle.

Hydrate

Staying hydrated is crucial for both your body and mind. Drinking your requisite 8 glasses of water a day or more will also help your joints and boost cognitive clarity.

Wear Great Shoes

Do not skimp on your running shoes if you’re a serious runner. You’ll want to get something that provides just enough support without compromising your feet and your Achilles tendon.

While experts may disagree on the finer points of “good nutrition,” what they all agree on is that superfoods are a notch above other foods in their concentration of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. If these foods can pack an extra ‘punch’ of nutrition, then why not incorporate them in your daily diet?

To help you incorporate superfoods into your diet, here are three amazing superfoods that are easy to find at most stores and, best of all, are absolutely delicious!

Goji Berries

Goji Berries are a legendary Himalayan fruit that in some cultures believe is the secret to eternal youth and beauty. While we aren’t quite sure about that particular claim, we do know that these little orange-red berries are loaded with antioxidants and a good source of protein, fiber, vitamin A and C.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are tiny black seeds from the desert plant Salvia hispanica grown natively in South America. The word “chia” is the ancient Mayan word for strength. This superfood contains plenty of antioxidant properties and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber and calcium.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil’s unique combination of fatty acids have several positive effects on our overall health including better brain function, increased energy, and weight loss. Coconut oil is great for cooking, and is a healthy alternative to margarine, butter, or vegetable oil.

By incorporating these recommended superfoods into your diet along with regular chiropractic care, you will be making a worthy investment in your overall health and wellness. Contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today to schedule your consultation.

Did you know that stress has adverse effects on the body? Stress can lead to things like headaches, muscle changes, fatigue, and even a loss of sex drive. The world doesn’t seem to be getting any less stressful. There are more drivers on the busy roads every day. Some of us spend 2 hours in traffic before and after work. Some of us work less than fulfilling jobs. Others have stress at work or home to deal with.

It’s time to start dealing with your stress and time to start developing coping mechanisms to help you manage your stress. Below are a few ways you can reduce your stress every day.

Exercise

Exercising to exertion is one of the best ways to deal with stress. We are genetically wired from our hunting and gathering ancestors who used to get in upwards of 15,000 steps in per day. Getting somewhere in the range of 10,000 steps today is acceptable. Go for a run, go for a hike, or take that martial arts class. You’ll begin to notice your stress decrease.

Practice Mindfulness

Knowing the patterns of your mind is important, and meditation is a great way to settle the mind and help you identify thought patterns. Meditation and practicing mindfulness exercises will help build your inner calm.

Limit Caffeine Consumption

Some of us are wired for stress and a cup of coffee can take us over the edge. Limit your intake to no more than 50 grams of caffeine per day. Have a cup or two in the morning, but do not have caffeine past 4 pm if you want a restful night of sleep.

Chiropractic care is also a great way to reduce stress. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to reduce pain, reduce anxiety, and even help with insomnia. Contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today to schedule your consultation.

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions that have long run dry by now, but for those of us who are still on track to achieve our wellness goals for 2019, the May-to-June transition presents a perfect opportunity to assess where you’re at and determine what you need to do in order to achieve your health and wellness goals.

Below Scorca Chiropractic Center goes over a few questions you can ask yourself to make sure you’re still on track.

How Are Your Feeling?

Pay attention to your body. If you’re eating right, exercising, and engaging in active recovery, then your body should be feeling great, not to mention your state of mind. If you’re not feeling good or better than you were before you started paying attention to your wellness routine, then maybe it’s time to make some considerable adjustments.

Is There Any Pain?

If you’re being active chances are your body will experience pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to reduce overall joint, neck, and back pain the drug-free, all-natural way!

Can You Make Any Adjustments?

If you’re slacking at cardio, yoga, or keeping your appointments with your chiropractor, now is the time to up your game in those realms. Your body will thank you for it.

If you experience any hurdles in your new life of wellness, contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today. We have a long track record of helping our patients achieve their health and wellness goals.

Yoga, same with chiropractic care, can be an excellent practice that will bring you untold health benefits when it comes to your back, neck, spine, joints, your legs, and even your brain!

It’s all true, yet when it comes to taking care of ourselves, many of us tend to slack in that department, justifying the move by saying we have busy schedules. But, the truth is, yoga can be worked into even the busiest work week. Read on for a few ways you can bring yoga into your daily ritual.

Yoga in the Morning

If you have a computer, watch yoga videos and pull together a beginner routine if you have no experience. With a mat and a little bit of willingness, you’ll get a good stretch in and even experience the breathing and meditative benefits of yoga before you start your day.

Work Yoga

Take a break for a few minutes each hour to stretch it out. If you know some yoga moves, even better! You’ll be relieving your body of the strain from sitting at the computer or being on your feet all day.

Yoga Class

Taking a yoga class will help you up your game so your solo sessions become even more beneficial. Taking a class will also hold you accountable for showing up, which is 90% of the battle.

If you have any questions about how you can bring yoga into your life, not to mention learn how chiropractic can be an excellent yoga companion, contact Scorca Chiropractic Center today to learn more.

Achieving more restful sleep on a nightly basis will help you be more alert during the day, which will help you be more effective at work, while being active during exercise, and even keep you more engaged in your personal relationships as a result of being recharged and well-rested each day.

It’s when our sleep becomes compromised, whether it be from having too much caffeine, not getting as much exercise, or the dealing with the daily stresses of life, that our wellness can take a serious slow. Below are a few ways that you can get better sleep, which will help you increase productivity, boost wellness, and even avoid injury that comes about from fatigue.

1.) Do Yoga

Yoga is a great way to release tension in the body. The right yoga class will also give you an incredible workout.

2.) Exercise to Exertion

Try to push yourself and get a cardiovascular workout at least 3-4 times per week. If you can set aside an hour 5 times per week and strike the right balance between cardio and strength training, this will help relieve anxiety and help the body get its steps in, which will help you earn better sleep at night.

3.) Meditation

Meditation is a great way to increase relaxation and help you reduce stress and overall anxiety. Meditation will also help you improve mindfulness and improve sleep.

Chiropractic care is also a great way to boost wellness and make sure that your body is functioning at optimum capacity. Nothing is more soothing and relaxing than getting a chiropractic adjustment, which has also been shown to help with improving patient’s sleep. Contact Scorca Chiropractic Center to schedule your consultation today.

If you’ve been feeling like a dim bulb, this could be because the communication pathways between the brain and the body are all jammed up. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to increase brain functionality, benefit memory, and increase overall altertness.

2.) Chiropractic Can Help You Achieve More Restful Sleep

There’s nothing like chiropractic care to help your mind and body relax. You’ll experience reduced stress and reduced anxiety, which will help you get your ZzZz.
