Mary Welling has been over enjoying the Christmas Holidays. It happens! We enjoy and enjoy all the goodies, the large meals and especially the great variety of lamb, beef, chicken, duck and seafood.

The great toe was especially painful after visiting the malls and after walking back home from Sunday church. If you liked this post, say…

New Year’s resolution or commitment, that is the question I would like to pose our readers and wellness participants. So why is it that so many people do not accomplish or fulfill their New Year’s resolution? That is the question of the day. What do you think? A resolution is defined as “a firm decision to do or not to do something; the act of finding an answer or solution to a problem.” Ask yourself, is that really what you mean or intend…
A cute slogan used by the milk companies in advertising was: “Milk… It does a body Good!” Cute and trendy slogan but not a necessarily correct one because some people suffer health problems from drinking milk. Oh! you say? Interesting thing to know since when it comes to foods one person’s food is another person’s poison. Truth is milk is nature’s food for babies simply because they don’t have teeth and advanced digestive systems to handle regular food. When they can…
Experts estimate that more than 85 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra! The problem: Ribs are a semi-flexible structure to allow for lung expansion during inspiration and expiration and rigid enough to protect the lungs and the heart. Women are advised to wear a bra or brazier to protect and support their breasts but if they have a wrong fit, it can cause problems with the rib cage.

In the Filipino “lamig” means coolness or cold. The reference is mainly made when a muscle feels hard to touch and is painful due to the hardness. It is called a lamig because the hilots or traditional barefoot healers claim that this hard muscle is the result of being exposed to cold weather or a sudden loss of heat in the muscle, resulting in a loss of circulation or spasm like change in the muscle. The scientific version is that this…

Don’t you have better things to do than to keep revisiting hospital emergency rooms? Acid reflux is a common condition in which stomach acid flows backward up the esophagus (the tube carries food from the mouth to the stomach), causing symptoms such as a burning feeling in the chest (heartburn) and a bitter or sour taste in the mouth. The typical medical treatment is to prescribe drugs like Nexium or Previcid that block the production of acid. Chiropractors, as spine…
Life Coaching focus – Interested vs Committed
Posted on 11/28/2015Since my formal studies in Chiropractic my passion has been to study healthy living and live the principles I learn. This passion has revealed an endless number of life changing truths to me. The ones I cherish the most I learned and continue to learn about myself. One of these truths is that when I was young I was more interested in learning about healthy topics. However, when I got married and had a family (responsibility intersected with purpose) and…
