Keep Pain From Ruining Your Holidays
Hanging up holiday lights. Being packed like a sardine on your flight to see family. Whipsaw weather causing achy joints. There’s no shortage of potential pains during the holiday season. Here are some ways to keep pain from dampening your holiday fun:
Stay active. Exercise releases endorphins, which are hormones that block pain signals from the brain. Exercise also helps keep your body strong and flexible, which may help reduce pain in the long run.
Get adjusted. Regular chiropractic care may help improve flexibility and range of motion, which can also help reduce your risk of experiencing pain while traveling.
Choose anti-inflammatory foods. Because inflammation is often at the root of pain, eating anti-inflammatory foods can help lessen or eliminate pain. Additionally, some nutrients in these foods may help improve nerve function and reduce pain signals sent to the brain.
3 Ways to Reset Your Health in the New Year
Just as the calendar flips on the first of January, marking a new year fresh with all kinds of possibilities, you may be ready to turn the page when it comes to your health.
Here are three ways to make small changes that could yield big health dividends in 2023 and beyond.
Drink plenty of water. From flushing toxins out of your body to boosting your metabolism, proper hydration is vital for good health.
Move more. Going for a run with your dog. Doing some strength training during commercials. Taking the stairs versus the elevator. There are lots of sneaky ways to get more steps into your day.
Get adjusted. When your body is in alignment, it can function better, and you are less likely to experience pain or discomfort. Chiropractic care may also help improve your overall health and well-being.

Perhaps you could do a follow-up next month when talking about the New Year, and include a list of WHAT foods are anti-inflammatory. In the article for December, you said people should choose to eat anti-inflammatory foods, but my guess is that most people don't know what those are---including me. Thanks, Karen Frey

That’s a great idea. I will suggest that to my writing team.
