Free Spinal Screening for a can of soup

Help us feed the Hungry this Holiday Season and we will take care of your spine!

During the months of November and December, Chiropractors across the nation will be holding "Pack the Pantry For the Hungry" days in an effort to raise food donations for the hungry while providing free health services and evaluations for their community. From now until the New Year 2010, InnerMovement Wellness Center will host "Pack the Pantry For the Hungry". Patients are invited to bring a food item on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between 8:30am and 6pm and take advantage of free health screenings from any of our wellness practitioners. "

Canned food donations will be collected at the door through the holidays, and all donations are welcome whether you want to receive free health services or not," said Dr. Heidi. "It's just one small way that chiropractors can have a "hands-on" impact on health and hunger in our community," she said. "Please feel free to invite friends and family to participate as well. We all know at least one person who could benefit from Chiropractic care. This is a great way for them to help others while healing themselves!"


Proceeds from "Pack the Pantry For the Hungry" will benefit Salvation Army, Glendale.

Superfoods for the Holidays

Nutrition 101:
Superfoods for the Holidays



How to Choose Foods
Don't let your health fall by the winter wayside, but make proper nutrition a year round commitment. The 100 Year Lifestyle teaches how to incorporate healthy foods into a balanced diet throughout the year. Here's how to help nourish your body and keep it going strong for 100 healthy holiday seasons.

 
Back to Basics
Chiropractors and nutritionists now agree that while carbohydrates are still essential, at least half of ingested grains should be whole. You need 2.5 cups of colorful (green is always a safe bet) vegetables and 1.5 cups of fruit each day for a balanced diet. Also all oils are not created equal. Avoid added fat and sugar, but oils found in fish and nuts should be incorporated into your daily meals.

Superfoods to the Rescue
Make foods jam-packed with health benefits a regular part of your diet, which is an easy way to live a quality 100 Year Lifestyle. Try berries, wild salmon, broccoli, tomatoes, soy, oats, strawberries, cantaloupe, garlic, beans, oranges, pumpkin,spinach, bananas, turkey, bean, walnuts, yogurt, and green tea.

Embrace your winter blues-berries, that is! Full of antioxidants like Vitamins C and E, they protect against cancer and aging, among other maladies. They've even earned the nickname "brainberries" because of their memory enhancing properties.

Milled flaxseed is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and is even believed to help prevent cancer. Mix a few tablespoons in with your daily cereal, sprinkle it on yogurt or salad, or grind it up and add your "flaxseed flour" to almost any baking recipe for a nutty flavor.


Become a Grocery Guru
Learn to become a grocery guru and always check the labels while shopping. Look for breads labeled "whole grain" not "whole wheat" and avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup and artificial ingredients. While pre-made meals, sauces, marinades and meals save time, their additives may compromise your diet in the long run. Use seasonings and spices instead of salt and sugar. The surest shopping path to a healthy 100 Year Lifestyle is to slice, season and cook food yourself, using whole, fresh ingredients. You'll feel, look and taste the difference!




Super Family Time
Shop and cook together with your loved ones this holiday season and year round. Enjoy the time you spend together preparing and sharing a healthy meal. Keep the snack trays filled with a mix of holiday treats and nutritious options for in between meal nibbling at family gatherings. Your body will thank you and so will your friends and family!
