Heart Health Month

heart health month

February is heart health month and we wanted to share some different ways to keep your heart in great shape!

Everyone knows that exercise and diet are important to keep your body in good shape, but there are also other things our bodies need that they may not be getting.

Researchers report that CoQ10 may have significant benefits for people with cardiovascular disease (CVD), from reducing risk for repeat heart attacks and improving outcomes in patients with heart failure to lowering blood pressure and helping combat side effects of cholesterol-lowering statins.

Another supplement you might want to consider is OrthOmega. It has many benefits including:

  • Supports Cardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Metabolism
  • Supports Cognitive Function and Development
  • Supports Healthy Skin, Joints and Connective Tissues
  • Increases Visual and Ocular Health
  • Maintains Normal Inflammatory Balance

Lastly another product that is very beneficial is Inflammatone. Inflammation is the body’s response to a bout of trauma. This can be physical such as a broken bone, dietary such as eating foods that you are sensitive to, or environmental such as pollution or heavy metals. Over time this can be harmful to your heart. This supplement helps support a proper inflammatory response while facilitating healthy blood flow without the unwanted side effects of pharmaceutical drugs.

Are You Compressed?

spinal decompression or spinal surgery

Do you hurt when you get out of bed? Maybe you are compressed.

Spinal compression can cause many symptoms including bulging or herniated discs, pinched nerves and pain to name a few. If you have aches and pains getting out of bed it may be time to ask yourself… Are you compressed?

How and why does compression happen?

Poor posture, certain degenerative diseases such as arthritis and injury can lead to compression. Some people may not notice any symptoms at first but compression can have a domino effect and can ultimately become debilitating. Compression happens when vertebrae lose the space they should naturally have between them. This, in turn, puts extra pressure on the discs in between the vertabrae. These discs can then bulge or herniate and can pinch nerves. These nerves run through your entire body so pain in your legs may originate from your back. Sciatica is a well known example of this.

Compression

What Can You Do?

Spinal decompression has been utilized for years to help people get relief from pain and other symptoms. Legacy Clinic is able to decompress both the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck, upper back) through the use of specialized tables and machines. These tables gently pull the hips downward or the neck upward putting motion in the vertebrae. Once the desired amount of resistance is reached, the pull will remain at that amount for a set amount of time before being released to half the amount. Over time, this can help to regain the natural spacing your body needs and can take the pressure off of the discs in between allowing them to heal on their own. Unlike inversion tables, the decompression tables are gentle enough not to cause muscle spasms and the pull can be increased as needed.

5 Natural Ways To Strengthen Your Immune System

natural ways to boost immune system
immune system natural

Our immune system is what keeps us alive. It’s our personal bodyguard against diseases and other hostile pathogens. It’s a complex system of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body against infection and maintain overall health. Learn 5 Natural ways to strengthen your immune system.

1. Avoid sugar and grains. They unbalance your gut flora and fertilize bad bacteria, yeast, and fungi.

  1. Your immune system is found throughout most of your body but concentrated in and around your gut. It may sound strange at first, but when you think about how much food passes through your digestive system – and that food carries microbes, potential allergens, and toxins into the body.

2. Get 15 minutes of sun exposure daily. The sun produces Vitamin D which supercharges immunity.

  1. Vitamin D keeps the immune system healthy by regulating white blood cells. If there is not enough immune system activity, frequent infections can occur. According to the USDA, the standard recommendation of vitamin D that adult women should take in order to prevent deficiency is between 600 to 800 international units per day, depending on age. The exact number is debatable, and some experts feel that a higher dose of vitamin D, 2ooo to 5,000 IU per day, may be more beneficial

3. Get 8 hours of sleep per night. This repairs your body and helps it recover faster.

  1. Research shows that a lack of sleep results in a decreased number of white blood cells. Even a single night of poor sleep can impair the immune system by reducing the number of natural killer cells. Most adults need a minimum of 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep per night. This number is even higher for children.

4. Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes per day. This activity triggers a rise in immune system cells, which increase your resistance to illness.

  1. To be immunologically fit, you need to be physically fit. White blood cells can become lazy. Exercise mobilizes them by increasing your blood flow, so they can do their surveillance jobs better and seek and destroy in other parts of the body. Experts recommend a minimum of 2 hours and 30 minutes per week. 
  2. More than 70 percent of intensive care patients that are hospitalized because of corona are overweight (BMI over 25). Being overweight makes breathing difficult, it causes abnormal sugar values and higher blood pressure.

5. Manage daily stress as well as your reactions to circumstances beyond your control. Excessive stress dramatically weakens your immune system.

Post COVID Syndrome

tired

Post COVID Syndrome is causing lingering symptoms in some Coronavirus survivors. Here are some things to know:

For many people around the world, COVID-19 does not end after the acute infectioon phase. Doctors are seeing a large amount of survivors develop symptoms that are “strikingly similar” to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. A CDC survey of 292 people who overcame COVID-19 found that more than a third of the study had lingering fatigue for two to three weeks after testing positive. Fatigue is just one of the symptoms that people have reported over the past several months.

The most common Post COVID Syndrome symptoms that people are reporting even after testing negative for two weeks are:

  • Persistant cough with sore throat
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Post COVID lung disease
  • Anxiety, depression and insomnia
  • Cognitive issues similar to moderate traumatic brain injury
  • Digestive problems such as irritable bowel, nausea, bloating and abdominal pain

So What’s The Good News?

Acupuncture may play a beneficial role in post COVID symptoms!

Post COVID Syndrome

The problem of persistent cough after recovering from Covid is very common. Such patients complain of dry cough, throat irritation and scanty white phlegm. Acupuncture produces 90 per cent effective rate with no side effects.

Patients develop extreme fatigue following a bout of Covid due to depletion of their Qi, because of the decrease in activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Acupuncture is given at selected acupoints for five days in a week for two weeks and 80 per cent patients have shown improvement in their fatigue levels.

Anxiety, depression and insomnia are very common in post-Covid patients and these can be effectively tackled by stimulating specific acupoints which release melatonin and the happy hormone — serotonin.

At Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic, we offer The Villages Acupuncture and Cupping treatments to help lung function, regulate immune function, and improve energy and vitality. While we don’t treat active Covid-19 infections in our office, we are available to treat post covid symptoms.

We have safely helped people recover their energy and vitality post-Covid with both Acupuncture and homeopathic Medicine.

Whether it’s managing stress and anxiety, helping insomnia, or treating post-viral symptoms, we are here to help.

Dr Supervised Weight Loss Program

Weight loss the villages
lose weight fast and naturally in the villages, FL

If you’re one of the many who have tried every diet out there but just can’t lose the weight, or if you’re tired of working out and not seeing any results then this is the program for you!

If you’re looking to lose weight there probably isn’t a shortage of advertisements telling you “the best” way to do it. The problem with most diets is that they only work for a short period of time (if at all). After you return to eating normally, you gain back any losses.

Going to the gym is a good way to burn off calories, but most of us don’t have hours to spend at the gym every day and it would be hard to keep up such a vigorous routine.

But there’s good news! There is a way to lose unwanted weight both safely and effectively. Dr. Chris Kessler has been helping his patients lose inches off of their bellies for years and his success is undeniable.

Anti-Aging Injections

Glutathione: One of the Best Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Secrets in the World

Your body naturally creates one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world: Glutathione. Like everything else in your body, it depletes with time, leaving us feeling sluggish and allowing for sickness and disease to enter. Our bodies begin to age faster, and we begin to look older.

Glutathione helps protect our organs against the chemicals and pollution we breathe in, the bad foods we eat, and the stress we put on our bodies each day, keeping us feeling youthful and refreshed! It’s also one of the best anti-aging injections in the world!

Often, Glutathione is called the “Master Anti-Oxidant” because of its masterful ability to stop, and even reverse, the damage caused by free radicals. It also prevents cellular damage from these free radicals, which are introduced in our bodies through air pollution, cigarettes, poor diet, industrial chemicals, etc.

These free radicals are the agents of aging, and too many of them can leave the door open for aggressive diseases such as cancer. Today, you can supplement your body with Glutathione Treatments at Legacy Clinic in The Villages.

If you suffer from low energy, joint discomfort, poor quality of sleep, decreased mental focus or stress, then Glutathione might be just what you need. Below is a list of just some of the incredible benefits.

anti-aging injections

Legacy Clinic is now offering these anti-aging injections to our patients. Take advantage of all the amazing benefits, don’t wait any longer. If you would like more information or you would like to schedule an appointment, call or email us today!

Corrective Exercise Trainer in The Villages

jenny sweat_trainer
Jenny Sweat, corrective exercise trainer at Legacy clinic in the villages.

Corrective exercise training improves the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues that are weak, tight, or out of their proper place. Muscle imbalances affect everyone. For some, imbalances in the body can lead to stiff necks, low back pain, and sore knees.  Others will see the loss of strength, muscle atrophy, and weaker sports performance.  Some will have a limited range of motion in their hips, shoulders, and back.  Left unresolved, all imbalances will eventually limit performance, increase the risk of injury, and cause pain.

Corrective Exercise helps re-educate your body to move efficiently.   Programs are designed to increase the flexibility of muscles that have become too tight and strengthen the muscles that have become weak.  An intelligent and progressive program combined with good coaching and exercise techniques can not only get you moving pain-free and efficiently, but it can get you amazingly strong and fit.

A typical corrective program will start by mobilizing the areas your body is “stuck” or tight.  Next, exercises will be implemented to isolate the muscles that have become lazy or weak.  This is the foundation of a Corrective Exercise program.  Once flexibility has been gained and the weaker muscles are working, you can begin Corrective Exercise Training by performing exercises to integrate the new, efficient movement pattern.

Increasing the range of motion in your joints and strengthening weaker muscles to become balanced in the body allows you to be able to lift heavier, work a greater percentage of your muscles, decrease your chances of injury, have better posture, and get stronger.  There shouldn’t be a disconnect between corrective exercise and performance enhancement.  A good training program should accomplish both.

In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced corrective exercise training on staff will maximize your chiropractic care while helping your body achieve balance and health.
