Your Amazing Body

In the following newsletter you will see how your North Fort Worth Chiropractor is spending their thanksgiving and how your body is pretty amazing.

OK… gratituding isn’t really a word… but it could be any day now. New words are constantly coming into existence. When I was a kid, my parents would always correct us when we used the word ain’t. They would jokingly say, “ain’t ain’t a word!” And it really wasn’t!! You couldn’t find it in any dictionary. But look it up today and there it is in any dictionary you choose!!

One of the most common ways that new words are made today is by what is called verbing. Verbing is when a noun is used as a verb. For example, the word google originated as noun, a thing, a company that focused on search engine technology. Now, however, it is more commonly used as a verb (i.e., to google something.)

It is in this same fashion that gratituding might become a word in the future. It’s when a person actively expresses gratitude for the good things in his or her life. And at the top of the list, for your gratituding pleasure, should always be YOUR AMAZING BODY!!

You eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (or whatever you eat) and YOUR AMAZING BODY turns it into liver tissue and eye tissue and every other kind of tissue your body needs and makes. Your body produces 25 million new cells every second!!!

You drink water and YOUR AMAZING BODY regulates your body temperature, rids your body of waste products, and lubricates your joints with it. And that’s just a few of the things it does with water!!! Your body is over 60% water, and it uses water for dozens of things… so drink up!!!

You go to sleep at night and YOUR AMAZING BODY works to support healthy brain function, repairs cells, restores energy, and refreshes itself. All while you are sound asleep!!! And this doesn’t even scratch the surface of the hundreds of things YOUR AMAZING BODY can and does do every minute of every day to keep you alive and well! Your liver alone performs over 500 different jobs!!!

But these multitude of functions don’t just happen by magic! It’s not as easy as adding an “-ing” to the end of a noun and making a whole new word! It takes constant coordination of every body part, and that’s precisely what your nerve system does. Your brain is constantly sending messages to every cell, tissue, and organ of your body organizing and reorganizing you with every breath and every beat of your heart, to adapt YOUR AMAZING BODY to the ever-changing environment in which you live.

BUT (and this is a big but,) you live in a crazy, mixed up world in which there are countless physical, chemical, and emotional stresses bombarding your body. These stresses, which we all face daily, decrease the awesomeness of YOUR AMAZING BODY. Your chiropractor can help you with that!!!!

He or she will look for misalignments in your spine that disrupt the communication between your brain and the parts of YOUR AMAZING BODY to ensure there are no disruptions in your communication system (i.e., vertebral subluxation). When vertebral subluxation is present, you will be given a gentle adjustment to ensure that you are clear and firing on all cylinders.

Of course, expressing gratitude shouldn’t only happen on Thanksgiving or in November. When you think about YOUR AMAZING BODY (and your awesome family chiropractor) you can be gratituding all day every day!
