Rounding the Corner to A New School Year!

Say it isn’t so!!  I am starting to dream of markers, loose-leaf paper, pencils, folders, trapper-keepers, homeroom assignments, clothes shopping, and most of all making sure I am ready for the hectic school year that will be commencing in just a few short days.

As the school bell rings back in session, coming with it will be all the after school activities like choir, sports practices, clubs, and the running around for what seems to be endlessly trying to keep it together each day for the next 9 months.

When all of this seems overwhelming, take a step back and think about the important things that fill your heart and fill your body with positivity.  Make sure everyone is drinking plenty of water to stay well hydrated, make sure to be getting a minimum of 7 hours of sleep at night to properly recharge for the next day.  Another important thing is fueling your body with proper nutrition.  Keep plenty of healthy snacks to chew on in between meals and be sure to have balanced meals that are low in trans fats and high in fiber and complex carbohydrates.  Lastly, be sure to schedule your appointments to see your regular family chiropractor.  By keeping your spine healthy, you can be sure that you are functioning at your best so that everything continues to work seamlessly each day.  This is done by removing subluxations (pressure on the nerves coming from the spinal bones being out of alignment) on a regular basis which will increase the signals from your brain to your body and keep everything connected at full speed.

So, as you jump right back into the daily ins and outs of the school year, enjoy each moment, sit back and watch as the year unfolds, and continue to stay the best and healthiest version of yourself.
