A THANKSGIVING POEM

'TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,
BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,
I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.

THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED -
THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION
WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION,
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR,
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.

I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY,
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....
HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,
MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS.
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO  ALL

Healthy Living Made Simple

Healthy Living Made Simple

By Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, BS, DC, ND

Worrying about unwanted health issues can cause stress. The general population is not taught how the human body works. Digestive difficulties, sleep issues, fatigue and many other health concerns begin our search for answers for ourselves, or our loved ones. A great deal of time and money is spent looking for solutions to health challenges, yet the answers are not found.

The body is a living organism with 5 simple requirements.

1.    Air    2. Water   3. Food   4. Movement – Exercise   5. Freedom from Mental Stress

Air

Most people let their breathing be automatic, and do not do any deep breathing. Add a few minutes of deep breathing throughout the day to provide your body with essential oxygen. Take a deep breath in through your nose. Fill your lungs with air so that your chest lifts up, as if you are blowing up a balloon. Then exhale all the air as your chest lowers back to its original position.  

Live Water

The human body is a living organism made up of 70% water. Living organisms need live water and live food. Without real live food and water the body has a difficult time maintaining a balanced state of health. Live water and live food are the genuine replacement parts your body needs. So what is live water and live food?

Live water is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are the number one selling supplement in the world. No one wants to age. We are all looking for ways to stay young and healthy. Antioxidants stop the aging process. They also reduce pain and inflammation in the body. Most drinking water is dead water with no antioxidants. This water ages the body, causing pain, inflammation and acidity.

Live Food

Cooked processed, and fast foods contain no live enzymes. The enzymes that allow food to be digested are destroyed with heat. Live food has the enzymes that allow us to digest. We need to eat a diet that contains live food every day. It is true that what you eat determines how your feel!  The only side effect to live food and water is better health and less stress.

I see many people with poor digestive systems who cannot digest live food. Lack of the specific digestive enzymes needed for proper digestion is the most common underlying health issue people have. The body is unable to get the essential nutrients it needs from undigested food. This creates nutritional deficiencies, which lead to unwanted health issues. Every body is different, and has different needs. The secret to health lies in identifying the specific digestive enzymes that you need that work for you.

Poor digestion also leads to food allergies, food intolerances, parasites and fungal overgrowth. A malfunction of the digestive system creates a compromise of the immune system, and increases stress. Eighty percent of the immune system is in the gut. The immune system becomes compromised when you cannot properly digest.

Movement

Exercise and movement is essential to keep your body alive. Muscles and joints are designed to move, and need to move daily. We are not designed for our sedentary lifestyle, where we sit all day and night. We need to move to promote good health. Movement allows your body to move nutrients into the cells and waste out. Walking just 20 minutes a day increases circulation, elevates mood and improves body health and function.

Movement with Deep Breathing

Recharge your body when deep breathing by adding body movement. Stand comfortably with your feet shoulder width apart. Place your arms together straight out in front of you. Take a deep breathe in. As you exhale move your arms out to each side. Add more movement by bending over when you deeply inhale, letting your arms fall in front of you. Exhale as you straighten up while moving your arms out to the side. Repeat for several minutes to invigorate your body.

Peace of Mind

Freedom from mental stress is the last health requirement. Worry about your health or the health of a loved one produces more acid waste in the body, causing more aging and stress. We need more antioxidants when we are stressed. Our food, water and lifestyle choices have lead to poor health, creating additional stress.

The key to peace of mind lies in identifying the specific nutritional deficiencies that you have as a result of your food and lifestyle habits. At TLC we use through specific testing to help identify the specific digestive enzymes you need, find your missing nutrients and your specific food and water requirements. As you feel better and health improves, exercise and movement become easier, stress reduction occurs and life is enjoyable again.  Visit www.TLCHolisticWellness.com or call (734) 664 - 0339 to learn more.

Stress is NOT a Way of Life

Posted on October 12, 2014 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, DC, ND
We live stress filled lives. We eat on the go, and our days are unending. We can’t stop thinking and let ourselves relax and enjoy. We are always working or doing something. We wait for vacations, and then need a vacation after our vacation. We have forgotten how to relax and enjoy life. In our world today stress has become a way of life, but it should NOT be so. The right amount of stress helps motivate us to take action. Too much stress can cause us to feel overwhelmed, overworked, fatigued, and emotionally and physically drained. The adrenal glands, part of the endocrine system, primarily deal with stress. These glands are located on top of each kidney, which is how they get their name, the adrenals.

There are 3 categories of stress   that can cause the adrenals to react. The first is physical stress from poor posture, injuries or trauma. The second is chemical and environmental stress that can be in the form of food, toxic chemicals, insufficient water, missing vitamins or minerals, electromagnetic pollution or allergic reactions. The third type of stress is what most people think of when stress is mentioned – the emotional reaction. We create emotional stress by saying “No Problem”, when we really mean, “No Way.” Stress is cumulative, meaning the different types of stress add up to feeling overload. When the brain determines that it is stressed, it believes everything is an emergency.

There is a natural solution to this 21^st century stress overload phenomenon. First identify the different stressors that are causing a stress reaction in your body. Next reduce the stressors that you can by changing your diet, and lifestyle habits. Here are six ways to help you win the battle against adrenal stress burnout.

1. Follow your natural body instinct to go to bed early, when you first feel tired. Do not stress yourself by staying up late and allowing yourself to get that second wind. 
2. Eat real whole foods and the correct protein requirement for your body type, instead of eating convenience and fast foods. Do not give into sugar, chocolate and carbohydrate cravings.
3. Avoid dietary stimulants that keep the body in a “stress emergency” state. Do not allow yourself to become dependent upon coffee, pop or caffeine stimulants.
4. Your body needs water to bathe the inside to flush out as many toxins as it can. When the body cannot flush out the toxins, they are stored in your body fat, adding to weight gain. Do not drink less water than half your body weight in ounces.
5. Avoid foods made with hydrogenated oils or trans fats. These bad fats damage the cells on the inside of your body. Do not eat junk food, packaged or processed foods that have these bad oils.
6. How long it will take for you to have your energy return varies from person to person. Have patience and allow your body time to heal. You will know when you are ready to get back into a regular routine. As your body heals your energy will return. Do not force yourself to exercise when you are exhausted, as this will only slow your recovery.

Chiropractic care is an essential tool to help reset the adrenals. Chiropractic reduces the accumulated physical stress on the nervous system, by taking the body out of the “stress emergency” state. Once the body had been de-stressed by chiropractic, exercise can then help to keep the physical stress level down. Nutrition is another essential tool to provide the necessary building blocks for the body to repair weak adrenal glands. Finding and fixing nutritional deficiencies allows the body to heal itself once it has the correct nutrients. Identifying and reducing the toxic burden the body has accumulated is another important component of stress reduction.

The goal of stress reduction and adrenal regeneration is to give the body the necessary tools and opportunity to rebuild and repair the adrenals. Avoid becoming dependent upon natural or synthetic hormone therapy. The hormones produced by your endocrine glands are very potent chemical messengers. High doses of natural, bio-identical or synthetic hormones prevent your body from actually healing. Change your diet and lifestyle habits to remove the interferences that have created the stress. Give your body what it needs to begin to make its own hormones again. Allow your body the time it needs to renew and repair. Your reward will be a new life, filled with energy, vitality and less stress!
