Local Healthy Choices Classes

By Michele Zamora

Many times people take better care of their vehicles than they do themselves. Vehicles go in for routine maintenance to make sure they are running at an optimal level. If the brakes start to make a noise, we get them in for repair right away.

Any time the dashboard shows any sign of malfunction, the vehicle is taken in for a diagnostic check-up. Our body is our most important vehicle. Keeping the body fueled with the proper nutrition is a good place to start. Making sure that our systems are working at their optimal level also include: daily cardiovascular exercise, chiropractic adjustments, daily stretching, drinking plenty of water, massage therapy, strength training, balance exercises and stress reduction. Making sure that we go in for our routine “maintenance” is important.

In addition to seeing your medical doctors, there are numerous holistic health services. It is exciting to see all the alternative options that are available. I am sure that you have heard about the “Mind, Body, Spirit” Connection. Having balance in our lives is a priority in keeping up your optimal health.

Why not take the time to learn more about the holistic health services in your area? Your local health food store may have additional information. Take advantage of the free lectures that are held at your local chiropractic office or other health and fitness related organizations.

A good example of free education to the public is the monthly “Spa Talks” that are hosted by the Cimarron Day Spa in Surprise, AZ. The lectures vary on topics and are free to the public.
