Live Food

Your health is your greatest asset. Helping your body digest and metabolize the food that you eat can improve your health, energy and vitality. There is a difference between live food and cooked food and the impact that these foods have on your health, 

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.

People with poor digestive systems 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.

The key to better digestion lies in identifying the specific nutritional deficiencies that you have as a result of your food and lifestyle habits. Through specific testing, there is a way 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 more enjoyable again.

Snow Shoveling Tips Back Pain Help

Snow Shoveling Tips Back Pain Help

As you might expect we see a lot of patients for back pain here at TLC Holistic Wellness. In fact, back pain is one of the most commonly reported injury and type of pain in our chiropractic office. This is because of how easy it is to hurt the back, whether from whiplash after a vehicle accident or due to improper posture form everyday activities.

But this time of year another common cause of back pain occurs more often when patients are shoveling snow, usually incorrectly. This is a hard job, and can take it toll on the body, particularly when you aren’t used to shoveling snow regularly or shovel snow improperly.

Thankfully, we provide treatments to help patients find relief from snow shoveling back pain, including adjustments and manipulations, massage therapy, and acupuncture.

Aside from these services, we also want our patients to understand the ways they can prevent back pain when shoveling snow. This includes the following tips:

• ·         Stretching properly before and after.


• ·         Using the right shovel. Ergonomic shovels are best.


• ·         Lifting with the legs.


• ·         Switching sides frequently while shoveling.


• ·         Pace yourself.


• ·         Stay hydrated.


• ·         Get regular exercise year-round.


• ·         Push the snow, rather than lift whenever possible.

If you are having back pain from snow shoveling, call Dr. Carol Ann Fischer at 734-664-0339.
