The first day of Spring has arrived! 💐 We have been blessed with a wonderful Winter with plenty of snow in the mountains and rain in the valley.🏔 I hope you have enjoyed soups and stews as much as I have this Winter with their variety of vegetables, a little meat, seasonings/herbs and plenty of liquids for our bodies to function optimally.🍲 Since we do not eat lots of meat my wife is teaching me how to add a little more bouillon to the soup to boost the flavor. We will soon be transitioning to more salads and smoothies.🥗
This is also a great time of year to get aligned, stretch well, work in the yard and garden and start some good habits of getting some cardio for exercise. 🚴‍♀️ I hope you have an enjoyable Spring! 😁

We are in the middle of summer. 🌞Fruits and vegetables are ripening. 🍉🥗Please enjoy and eat up. Eating fruits and vegetables in the season they are ripe can help prepare your body for the coming fall and winter where germs are heavily shared in schools and in indoor family and church gatherings.⛪️🏫
My dinner yesterday consisted primarily of watermelon, pineapple and lettuce. I thought the lettuce went great with the pineapple.
As a family we are also trying to drink more water for a couple reasons.🫗 1., Because we tend to not drink enough for what our bodies need (approximately half your body weight in ounces per day), 2. We are sweating more during the summer and our bodies require more water, 3. to help cut the cost of buying as much other beverages, and 4. to help lose weight. The way we are getting more water drinking is to have each person drink a glass of water before they drink anything else at each meal. We can lose weight because our bellies are fuller having something in them before we have a meal.
Of course getting a chiropractic adjustment can help the body function optimally and with less pain.
If you would like to see Dr. Olivia, now is your chance. She will soon be moving to be closer to family in Wyoming.
If you have not met our new addition, Dr. Juan Reinosa, he is a great chiropractor as well and we are glad to have him with us.

Hi All, The power in having dinners as a family is real. The website thefamilydinnerproject.org has many good ideas on how to improve family dinners as well. From recipes to conversation starters. Here are a few other benefits: conversation at the dinner table is even better than reading to children in boosting vocabulary. New parents who develop a dinnertime ritual feel more satisfied with marriages. Strong link between family dinners and academic performance, even stronger than doing homework, sports, or art. Reduces high risk teenage behaviors like smoking, substance abuse, eating disorders, teenage pregnancy and violence. Reduces depression and anxiety and increases self-esteem. Bon appetit. :)

A couple of weeks ago we realized that we were approaching a milestone at Healthy Family Chiropractic. Tomorrow, May 5th will mark the 20th year that we have had our chiropractic office open. As we look back, we reflect time and time again on the many blessings that we have received during that time. We have been blessed with many caring people over the years who have served as our office staff. We thank them, past and present. Most especially we have been blessed with wonderful patients who have been faithful and loyal for many, many years. We have met such wonderful people in this valley and appreciate that opportunity each day of getting to know you and trying to serve you to the best of our ability. Thank you so much for your faithful support.

We have heard over the last several years about the increased need for vitamin D supplementation to help our body's absorb calcium since we are inside our homes and offices more then ever before. Well, vitamin D is only half the story. Vitamin D helps get calcium out of the gut into the blood. We also need polyunsaturated fats to get the calcium from the blood into the tissues of the body to be used. Let's not forget this important step as well. ☺️ Just some helpful advise.

The holiday season. The sugar cravings and sugar overload followed by the achy, stiff, acidic bodies. The question is, "How can I enjoy the holidays without the achiness and stiffness?"

Here is some advice:
1. Replace sugar with honey (you only need about 1/3-1/2 the amount of honey as you do sugar).
2. Have some of the goodies but just fewer. Go for a taster verses having the sweets be a good portion of the food intake.
3. Share more with others verses consuming it yourself.
4. Be okay with throwing goodies away instead of feeling like you have to eat it (you have our permission ☺️ ).
5. Apply extra Sweet Valley Cayenne Salve to your achy muscles and drink lots of water to help flush out the acidity.

If the above aren't doing enough then come on in and we will realign and work on those tight muscles.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

☺️An article in Medical News Today entitled, "The top 15 Healthy Foods" had apples on their list. Here is what they had to say:

🍎"Apples are an excellent source of antioxidants, which combat free radicals. Free radicals are damaging substances generated in the body that cause undesirable changes. They are involved in the aging process and some diseases. Some animal studies have found that an antioxidant found in apples (polyphenols) might extend lifespans.
Researchers at Florida State University said that apples are a "miracle fruit." In their study, the investigators found that older women who started a regime of eating apples daily experienced a 23 percent drop in levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and a 4 percent increase in good cholesterol (HDL) after just 6 months."🍏

Dr. Carl brought a bunch of apples to the office so we are giving them away. If you are in the area you are more then welcome to swing on by and grab an apple and enjoy the taste as well as the health benefits! 😃

I was listening to classical music here at the office a week or two ago and the radio announcer shared an experiment that McDonald's is trying out in their stores in Scotland. They are playing classical music and watching the change in behavior of their customers. McDonald's was having a tough time calming their loud, wild, and at times out-of-control customers. McDonald's is finding that their classical music playing is having a nice, positive affect on calming their customers.
My wife and I have also been playing more classical or calm religious music at bed time to help calm our children at bed time and we have seen a needed and appreciated calming of our children.
I hope this info will be a benefit in your homes and families as well.
