Thoughts to Ponder
    Today is the first day of the rest of your life. How you think and act today will set the stage for the rest of the years that follow.


 
BACKS DO NOT JUST "GO OUT"
    It's Tuesday morning and you reach over to pick something up and your back "goes out". Not hardly! This only happens in the world of blame and victimhood.
    Instead, back pain is a series of imbalances that have been ignored over time and allowed to settle into place. From the thoughts one thinks to old injuries one has forgotten about, there are often a number of body systems out of balance. Taking pain killers or wearing back braces only mask the real problem.
    While very common in our culture back pain is entirely curable as one learns to come back into balance. Often, a serious commitment is required to begin to unravel these imbalances. Nobody needs to live in pain forever. There is hope.

FLAT FEET FOR HEALTH
    While most of us have been told that a solid arch in the foot is a healthy thing there are many reasons to think otherwise. Podiatrist, medical doctors, and shoe salesmen have pounded into us the belief that an arch will support us. Think again.
    The foot is like the ground floor of a building. If the ground floor is crooked the rest of the building will topple. When we have an arched foot we create imbalances up the rest of the body that might affect the knees, lower back, and neck. Wearing shoes, especially high heels or using arch supports, only exacerbates the problem.
    The healthiest foot is actually a flat foot. This allows the weight transference up the rest of the body to be balanced. Going barefoot, wearing sandals or
Earth Shoes, will be the healthiest choice.Read the entire article here.   




A HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF SCOLIOSIS
   Scoliosis is often a confusing and misunderstood condition of the spine. Typically, the vertebrae of the spine will become crooked, altering the course of the trunk of the body. From mild to severe, this reshaping of the spine can bring a sense of alarm. While often blamed on genetics and hereditary patterns there are some very simple explanations for scoliosis.
    Traditional treatments for scoliosis have been to perform back surgery, place one in a back brace for years, or surgically insert a metal rod deep alongside the spine. None of these treatments actually gets to the source of the problem. Holistic approaches are often more effective in identifying the underlying cause of the problem and then correcting these imbalances. These holistic approaches to healing scoliosis might include yoga, therapeutic bodywork, or holistic chiropractic.

Non-Toxic Water Bottles

    How long will you continue to use those toxic plastic water bottles that you buy at the supermarket? Studies have shown that they are manufactured out of the cheapest plastics available and toxic chemicals leach into the water-especially if left in a warm car over time. Besides, millions of these plastic bottles are tossed into landfills each year to pollute our ecosystems.
    Go Green! A better choice is a reusable water bottle that you can refill from your filtered tap water at home. No more waste in landfills. No more toxic chemicals leaching into your body.
     Sigg manufactures an aluminum water bottle that is both environmentally friendly and stylish. Coated with a special protective layer these water bottles come in many different styles and colors and can be used over and over again.
