October, the National Chiropractic Health Month, is the perfect time to reflect on how chiropractic practices improve your health.
Here are some ways to celebrate National Chiropractic Health Month.
- Keep Moving
The first thing to remember is to keep moving your joints and muscles not to become too stiff or tight. This is especially important if you have a job that includes a lot of time sitting. Keeping yourself moving is important that the American Chiropractic Association has made "Keep Moving" its theme for this year's National Chiropractic Health Month.
- Use Proper Lifting Techniques
According to the National Safety Council, the way you move boxes and other large items may increase your risk of back injury, which is the second most frequent workplace accident. Poor lifting methods put a strain on your back's joints and muscles, producing moderate to severe discomfort.
- Embrace a Healthy Lifestyle
Eating nutritious meals reduces your chances of getting severe illnesses ranging from heart disease to diabetes, as well as joint problems. Making wise dietary choices ensures that your joints get the right nutrition they need to operate correctly.
Reduce your intake of fried, greasy, or processed meals while increasing whole grains, lean meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Not smoking or drinking alcohol can also help you safeguard your joints.
