In Peoria, it seems, there are only two seasons of the year: flu season and road construction. Since we're moving into flu and strep throat season now, here are some tips to help your immune system:
- Just as vaccinations require booster shots, so too chiropractic adjustments should be performed regularly for proper neuroimmune function. Every person's body is different, but children should be seen every 1-3 months if asymptomatic, and adults ought to be seen every 3-6 weeks if asymptomatic. Prevention is the best medicine. - A balanced and nutritious diet is essential for proper neuroimmune function. Nutritional deficiencies can cause breakdowns in immune communication. - Regular exercise is essential for a well-balanced lifestyle. Lymph, an important fluid in the neuroimmune system, is moved along only by the contraction of muscles, as performed during exercise. - Reduce the amount of stress in your life. Stress has a direct impact on neuroimmune function. - Get enough sleep, especially during the night hours. "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise," goes the old wisdom. - Neuroimmune health is an ongoing process in a highly complicated system. Be skeptical of products which claim to boost immune system function without further lifestyle changes. - Consult with Dr. Johnson about alternative methods of boosting your immune system.
