In this video, Martin Rosen, D.C. discusses the effects of chiropractic care both neurologically and on the vitalistic lifestyle. Learn how Chiropractic can make a difference in your and your family’s life!

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts that is based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body).

Chiropractic honors the wisdom of the body’s innate ability for self-healing!

Chiropractic improves nervous and immune system function that leads to overall more energy and increased vitality.

Did you know?! 

Chiropractic offers a gentle and safe approach to an optimally functioning nervous system for people of all ages and a lifetime of health and wellness!

If you do not already have a local chiropractor, call Dr. Tijana at 706.254.4579 to schedule your first appointment for YOU & YOUR FAMILY for a comprehensive health assessment TODAY!

5 Ways to Feel Happy TODAY, create happiness, Dr. Tijana DC, empowerment, happiness, healthy.BEing family wellness, new patterns, smiling

What does it mean to feel good to you?!

Many times people can feel stuck in a repetitive, unhealthy pattern that does not serve them and that does not allow them to move forward with their lives. So how do you compassionately and lovingly create a change for YourSelf and embrace it to bring yourself into a life full of joy and love for yourself and others around you.

 

1. Smile. The actual action of smiling sends the whole body into a series of positive reactions. We smile; our energy increases; and the little sparkle inside of us starts to shine brightly; before we know it, the light is shining brightly. At first, doing this smiling exercise may feel somewhat forced, but before we know it, the light will ignite so quickly and brightly, that the whole body will be overwhelmed with the emotion of happiness.

2. Laugh at yourself. Learning to giggle at yourself is something that many people are afraid or unwilling to do. But this is the first step necessary for getting into the flow of your own goodness. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Be willing to connect with how you feel and shape where you want to go from there.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”

3. Listen to YourSelf. Being mindful of where you are and where you want to be is a great way to create your happiness. Staying in the present mindset is essential when learning how to feel good. Setting healthy boundaries for YourSelf is important to establish your needs and how those are met.

4. Take care of your needs. Taking care of YourSelf is vital in helping us feel good. Feeling good can easily encompass eating healthy and nutritious foods, exercising, creating positive way of thinking, and surrounding yourselves with loving and supportive individuals. Yet feeling good is not limited to just these; it may also include being creative, musical, embracing a new idea or experience, reigniting an old ambition or goal, and the list goes on. Ultimately, it is important to recognize what your needs are and how to fulfill them to feel satisfied and happy in your life.

5. Be empowered. Embracing the changes we make in our lives can be uncomfortable. Once the process is started, the positive actions will create a shift in your habits and patterns. Creating your own positive energy will help carry you upward with each step.

So here are your first 5 steps to getting you started on a happy, healthy life. Write down your own 5 things that will bring more happiness to you right NOW and see how it will shift your life in a positive direction. Share it here in the comments below!

5 Cooking Ingredients for Health & Flavor, Dr. Tijana DC, dry roasted spices, ginger, growing herbs indoors, healthy cooking, healthy.BEing family wellness, medicinal herbs, nut milk

Healthy cooking may seem like a challenge because the assumption tends to be that healthy foods are more bland, less appetizing, and “as if something is missing.” But do not despair there are ways to cook clean, healthy, flavorful, and tasty.

Here are a few cooking ingredients that will add lots of flavor to your healthy dishes, while also being packed with nutrients:

1. Dry Toasted Spices

The dry heat helps transform certain spices by extracting aromas in form of essential oils and adding flavor. Some of these spices are cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, coriander, clove, anise, mustard, chilies, peppers, fennel, onion, and garlic. These flavors can be added to baked goods, dressings, rubs, marinades, sauces, flavored butters, and in pickling process, or favorite hot beverages.

  • Learn how to toast spices.
2. Raw nuts
Raw nuts can be used for a multitude of purposes; from nut milks, cheeses, heavy creams, and flour/meal, as well as using them as snacks and cooked in foods. A great choice to experiment with are almond, cashew, hazelnut, pistachios, and macadamia.
  • Recipes: DIY Nut Milk
3. Medicinal Herbs
There is a number of herbs that have healing properties, which have been used for hundreds of years across the globe. These are great to have in your arsenal in the kitchen, which can also be easily grown in the windowsill or a balcony almost year-round. Try these in your next dish: oregano, mint, fennel, sage, thyme, basil, dill, rosemary, parsley, chives, and tarragon. These can be sauteed with other vegetables, added in marinades, dressings, and sauces, used as garnishes, and used fresh in salads.
  • Learn how to grow herbs indoors.

4. Ginger

Ginger adds a versatile combination of sweetness and spiciness. It can be included in both sweet and savory dishes, as well as cookies and drinks. It also aids with digestion for nausea and diarrhea.

3 Approaches to Optimal Fitness Health

3 Approaches to Optimal Fitness Health, core exercise, Dr. Tijana DC, exercise recovery, healthy.BEing family wellness, high intensity exercise, low intensity exercise, optimal fitness health

The New Year brings with it all the potential and excitement, which inspires many to undertake new resolutions and projects of all kinds. The top contenders are typically losing weight and getting in shape. The holiday season for many tends to decrease the activity level while increasing the time spend eating and partying. So the dreaded January comes around and everyone is ready to get to the gym and start over. So while I encourage you to get out and exercise, I do want you to consider creating the optimal and well-rounded fitness program for YourSelf.

Personally, I believe that movement and exercise are essential to our Well-Being, there is no rule that says that it has to be dreadful, painful, or not fun! I am a big advocate of FUN ways to get your blood pumping and feeling great. I’ve been a big Yoga fan and am looking forward to discovering a new local studio. But I’ve also been inspired to try a new exciting activity….Hula-Hooping (with music and dancing, of course!). I also enjoy hiking, swimming, and my on-again-off-again love/hate relationship with running.

So as you take off on your own, or join with a fitness buddy, here are a few things to think about:

1. Remember to rest. While majority of people suffer from lack of exercise, once they get started and stick with it, some people tend to overdo it with excessive intensity and/or frequency, considering majority of us are not world-class athletes. During continuous exercise, the strength and endurance increase over time; however, there is a certain amount of stress that takes place in the body. So if you continue to intensify your exercise regimen, it is vital to reduce the frequency to give the body enough time to recover in order to fully recuperate and reap the benefits of a healthy, long life.

Short story: Perform high intensity exercises three times a week. On the other days, do lower intensity activities, such as walking, jogging, yoga, swimming, and stretching.

2. Listen to your body. Motivation and commitment to exercise are very important and key to success, but it is important to honor how your body is responding to your disciplined regimen. Over-training can not only lead to overexertion or fatigue, but it can also lead to injury, which otherwise could have been prevented. It is great to push yourself to meet the challenge, but do so cautiously as you listen and learn what your body can and cannot do.

Physiology side note: Fast-twitch muscle fibers used in high intensity exercise activities take approximately 48 hours to fully heal, which is twice as long as slow-twitch muscle fibers used during slow activities.

You are supposed to feel energized after your workout; if not, you may be overdoing it.


3. Mix it up.
Aim for a balanced workout that will allow you variety and keep it interesting and FUN! With any kind of exercise it is important to consider your core, a large group of 29 muscles, not only in the abdomen, but also the back and pelvis, are your foundation for movement of the whole body. Keeping the core strong will help support, stabilize, and balance the spine and the rest of the body, while keeping it less prone to injury; Yoga & Pilates are great at strengthening the core. As a chiropractor, I see a lot of patients who suffer from needless back pain due to weak core musculature.

Fitness examples: interval training (short bursts of high-intensity exercise alternated with small recovery periods of rest); strength training of different muscle groups each day with weights that will exhaust your muscles in 12-15 repetitions with up to 3 sets; and always remember to stretch to bring blood flow to your muscles to warm them up and increase the elasticity of the muscles and joints.

So consider these approaches to your optimal fitness program that will allow you to further embrace your healthy habits in the New Year and encourage you to maintain a healthy lifestyle for life! I’m cheering for you and remember to have fun!

I would love to hear what changes you have made and how your progress is coming along, so please share in the comments below.
