Even though Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, the holidays will soon be upon us and you know what that can mean - stress! Don't let the chaos of the season get the best of you - let West Loop Chiropractic help you finish out the year healthy, happy, and relaxed. Try these easy steps to help keep holiday stress at bay:
*Say cheese!: It may sound corny (or should I say cheesy) but studies have shown that smiling activates the pleasure center in your brain, making you feel calmer and happier instantly!
*Sneak in a quickie workout: Just ten minutes of something as simple as jumping rope will not only help burn off the extra calories we consume during this time of the year, but also works your arms, chest, abs, legs, and butt. Furthermore, research shows that interval workouts actually burn more calories than steady cardio. Be sure to get in some jump rope before that extra slice of pie!
*Stretch: Sit with your back straight. Interlace your fingers and place them on the back of your head. Tilt your head down, pressing your chin gently towards your chest. You should feel an easy stretch on the back of your neck. This stretch also helps lengthen your spine and relieves tension.
*Be well adjusted: Don't let your chiropractic care take a back seat over the next few weeks - make time to visit your chiropractor regularly. To schedule your next appointment or your new patient exam, call or email today - adjustme@westloopchiropractic.com or 312.850.2225
