Andover MN Chiropractor Explains
The 7 Habits...

Have you ever read "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," by Stephen Covey? If not, I highly encourage you to check it out. It is an extremely powerful book on personal development. I have read it, and plan to periodically re-read it.

Our habits are things we repeatedly do. They could be thoughts, words, or actions. Our habits determine our character, or who we are. And our character will ultimately determine our destiny.

What kind of a destiny do you want for yourself? Do you want to lead a long and healthy life? Have you established the habits necessary to create that destiny in Andover MN?

Here are my "Seven Habits for a Healthy, Long Life":

Focus on the Positive in Andover MN

Start and end every day thinking about what you are grateful for. Carefully choose the material you allow to enter your brain, such as TV, magazines, and radio. Write a personal vision statement.

Eat good nutrition

The food you eat is the building blocks for new cells in your body. Healthy, whole foods make healthy, whole bodies. Junk food makes junk bodies.

Hydrate your body

Drink half your bodyweight in ounces daily. Make it a habit. Have your (ELC) water bottle with you at all times… I do!

Get enough sleep

Your body repairs itself during sleep. Establish the habit of a set bedtime. Personally I'm in the 10PM Club. The most beneficial time period to be asleep is from 11pm-2am.

Exercise regularly

Bodies in motion stay in motion. Exercise benefits ALL organs, not just the muscles. Find an activity you enjoy. Schedule your workout days in your planner. No excuses!

Reduce toxins in/on your body

Avoid personal care products with aluminum, sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens, and phthalates. Drink filtered water. Don't eat processed food, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or hydrogenated oils.

Keep your Nervous System clear

Your Nervous System runs your entire body, and ultimately dictates your health. Regular chiropractic adjustments will ensure a CLEAR Nervous System. Just like exercise, be sure to put it on your schedule. I drive an hour and a half roundtrip every Tuesday for my weekly adjustment. And I don't like driving!

Be proactive. Your future health is determined by the habits you establish today.
