Vomit

We've all experienced it at one time or another... We enjoy a meal out on the town and hours later find ourselves vomiting. Not an enjoyable experience, is it?

When replaying the story to our friends, family and co-workers, we typically will explain how we got "sick." But have you ever stopped to think, were you actually sick or well?

You see, it is a natural, healthy function to rid our body of any harmful, toxic bacteria or viruses that causes food poisoning. Our bodies try to get every last bit of these nasty little particles out by having the stomach contract forcefully to hurl out all it's contents as quickly as possible so that you don't have to suffer any more than necessary. Gross...I know. Painful. But just what the body needs.

So next time you experience an episode of food poisoning, be thankful for the intelligence inside your body that knows to get rid of the harmful particles that could cause much more destruction if not dealt with immediately. Know that your body is well and functioning just as it should given it's circumstances.

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most well-known bridges in the world with nine million visitors each year. At the time of its completion in 1937, it was the longest suspension bridge span in the world. Each weekday, over 90,000 cars travel along this infamous bridge.

What has kept this magnificent structure strong for nearly 75 years? Constant maintenance! Workers are dedicated to inspecting and finding areas that need repair before it causes a major problem. Currently there are 38 people employed just to do the painting. These painters touch up areas of erosion in the vermillion orange paint daily. Preserving this bridge is a full time job.

Staying well requires constant attention too. Our bodies are not static structures, but we all requires this maintenance to stay healthy. Without maintenance our bodies would start to break down and crumble just like the Golden Gate Bridge would without the proper care it receives 365 days a year.

Regular Chiropractic care is just one of those aspects that helps keep us healthy. By removing any nerve interferences through adjusting the spine, we allow the nerve energy to freely flow though the body so that all the cells, organs and tissues can heal from the inside out.
