Vitamin D
- Slows Alzheimer’s – Vitamin D may slow the progression of
Alzheimer’s. (1)
- Reduces risk of Ashburn osteoporosis fractures –
In 80-85 year old women with low levels of vitamin D, the 10 year risk of hip
fracture and other osteoporotic fractures is enhanced. (2) So Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn suggests Ashburn women to take their vitamin D!
- Reduces Depression – Vitamin D supplementation may
effectively decrease the symptoms of depression. (3)
- Gives Hope for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Vitamin D may elongate the
remission of IBD and modify the immune response in IBD. (4) A welcome bit of
hope for patients with this condition.
Holiday Stress Busters
- Sleep – Get at least 7 to 8 hours a night! (5)
- Yoga and Breathing - There’s never a better time than now
to start a new habit that may help you in the future. The goal of yoga practice
is to focus on the present, relax your mind and body, and ultimately change your reaction to stress to one that is more peaceful and calm one. (6)
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn encourages our Ashburn patients to just breathe!
- Ashburn Chiropractic Care – Carrying too many
boxes and bags of groceries and holiday gifts may strain your back, so rely on your
Ashburn chiropractor to relief the back pain. Plus, the spine is the root
of the nervous system and a chiropractor’s specialty. So the chiropractic
adjustment may calm the nervous system and release tension. (7) That will make your holidays better!
Smart phones & Ashburn Neck Pain
- Santa may be delivering new smartphones and tablets to you
and your Ashburn family. So Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn shares this little detail: they
encourage poor posture! The adult head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds in normal
position. When it tilts forward, it gets heavier (up to 60 pounds depending on
the angle). Your neck muscles have to hold more weight. They weren’t made for
that stress, so then your neck begins to ache. The hurting may not be so bad right
now, but continued stress like this sets your neck up for disc degeneration as it
ages. (8)
- But don’t worry! Be your own Santa this year, and make an
appointment with your Ashburn chiropractor at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn who
can relieve your neck pain and encourage you to hold your phone up instead of
arching your head down to read. Let Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn check to see just how much your smartphone
is being a pain in your neck!
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn wishes you the best this holiday season and best wishes for 2015!
