4 Things to Do When Sick 

Being sick is never fun. However, it can be a way for your body to tell you that it’s time to slow down, take it easy, and be kind to yourself.

It seems straight forward to stay at home when you’re sick, but actually an adjustment might be the right thing to do. 

Read on to learn more.

What to Do When You’re Not Feeling Your Best

Drink Fluids

Seems simple enough but water helps you function normally and clear toxins

Eat Clean

Fruits, vegetables, and lean protein will provide nutrients you need to heal

Supplements

Zinc, Vitamin C, and Turmeric (kurkuma) all help the body function optimally

The Fourth Thing Might Surprise You!

Chiropractic care helps your whole body work better. All body systems improve as the brain and body communicate better. 

This includes your immune system!

The problem is that when you are stressed, your body does not function as it should. This can potentially impact the immune system, nervous system, or other cells in the body.

Chiropractic helps reduce the stress in the body and on the nervous system so that you can function optimally.
  1. Foreign invaders (normally bacteria and viruses) are recognized by the immune system, which sends information up to the nervous system.
  2. The nervous system then assesses the situation to determine what needs to be done.
  3. Information is sent back down the nervous system to the immune cells telling it what to do to fight the bacteria and/or virus.
  4. Continued presence of the invader continues the cycle until the nervous system stops the work of the immune cells
Being adjusted regularly
Improves your mind-body connection
Increases the way every cell functions
Allows your immune system to find and fight off infection
