Welcome to Affinity
Health & Wellness Center 2009!
Dear Friend,
It's the last day of 2008 and my neighbor just dropped off a wonderful low fat pumpkin ice cream pie. It seems everyone in Stoneybrook is outside cleaning their garage, taking down lights or pressure washing the driveways.
It's obvious everyone is ready for a new year and a new start. The cycles of recession are not new, and 2008 was a tough year for most of us. The news was a barrage of financial meltdowns and doom and gloom. You may have even the felt stress and panic personally. As with all recessions a recovery period will have to follow.
During this time we will be tested as to what is really important to each of us. If money is your only purpose in life it will be very difficult for you. If you are looking for ways to stay positive and move forward, find what is most important to you and start paying more attention to it. Look for opportunities to do the things you love. For new opportunity to present itself we must be prepared to receive it.
Opportunity is not drawn to clutter. Here are some simple tips to get ready for the New Year.
The piles on your desk and the disorder in your closet and drawers are symptoms of far more serious issues:
Uncertainty. If you hedge your bets, creating a backup plan to your back up plan, you tend to horde what you see as potential resources. The resulting clutter is a sign of indecisiveness. Decide! (Which comes from the Latin word meaning to "cut off from.")
Lack of clarity. Without a clear vision of the future you want, it's easy to allow stuff to accumulate because you're not sure whether you'll need it or not. Remove the fog of the future!
Purposelessness. Have you identified your purpose? (It's not making money or merely surviving!) Without one, it's difficult to say "no" to off-purpose temptations. Identify the top priorities that would advance your purpose and remain unyielding.
What can you throw out, simplify and organize for next year?
I will personally promise to make sure this year we get back to our roots of wellness care. Our service will be top notch and the quality of every product will be guaranteed.
The staff at Affinity shares a passion & purpose of helping you achieve your greatest health potential. We have amazing new natural products and services for the New Year. We will also be extending our hours to Saturdays to accommodate your requests.
Yours in health,
Dr. Brent Baldasare

What to Eat at Work?
At work, most of us are sitting for most of the day. If we exercise regularly, our basal metabolic rate increases, and our muscles burn energy while we're resting. However, this doesn't give us a free pass to eat whatever we like, whenever we like.
Following a healthy food plan can be challenging if we work in an office. It's so easy to drink three or four cups of coffee, get our sugar fix from the vending machine, and grab some fast food for lunch. No one has time to waste sitting in a restaurant.
And, usually, hours go by before we remember we need to eat. As a result, our blood sugar levels yo-yo wildly, zooming up after a mid-morning candy bar, and crashing down four hours later, when we finally call a take-out place.
Healthy solutions take some preparation and effort, yet the benefits in terms of avoiding diabetes and obesity are immeasurable. Bring zippered plastic bags containing four reduced-fat cheddar and string cheese sticks, an apple, and a banana. Now you've got two quick meals, both combining protein and carbohydrate. A protein-and-carbohydrate energy bar (there are plenty of good-tasting selections) makes a third small meal, and you've successfully maintained good energy levels throughout the day!

I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.
I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

Why visit a chiropractor? 
Each year millions of people enjoy the most popular natural, drug-free health care system in the world -chiropractic! Chiropractic helps people function closer to their physical and emotional best; recover from sickness, disease and disability faster and minimize the use of drugs and surgery in their lives! Many chiropractic users report less stress, more vitality and more enjoyment in life!
Chiropractic is a system of health care that releases a serious stress from your body: the subluxation, an often painless, tiny distortion in your spine and structural system that can affect your nerves, muscles, internal organs, discs, bones, brain, posture and overall health.
Of course, if you presently are ill and suffering, you need your natural healing ability enhanced so you can better fight disease and return yourself to a state of balance and health. That is a fact no matter what disease or condition you may have. By correcting your subluxations, chiropractors help awaken your natural healing ability to function at its optimum; to awaken your "inner doctor."
For millions chiropractic has made the difference between living with pain and living without pain, between living with sickness and living in health, between a fast recovery and a slow recovery and even between life and death..
Why live with health problems when you can live without them? Discover chiropractic - discover how natural healing can be.
