Choose Nothing

I for one get really excited when I see that nothing is planned for the weekend. It means that I can catch up on my at home work and todos. But this isn’t the nothing that I’m talking about. I literally mean choose nothing.

No work, no chores, no events, and nothing that you feel you have to do.

This version of nothing is very difficult for us in the era of electronics and constant doing. But it is important for our body and brain to do this occasionally so re can rest and rejuvenate.

Similar to meditation, It doesn’t have to be to be all day. It can be a few minutes here and there. Embrace the nothing and don’t feel obligated to fill every part of your day, week, month, or year.

Choose Beets

I was never much of a beet person until about two years ago. It was probably the flavor that got to me for all of those previous years. That earthy taste takes a little getting used to, but when combined with the right foods the true sweetness of a beet is discovered. Now, I enjoy…

Vote Nuts

I’m not talking about actually political “nuts” here, I’m talking about the ones that come from fruits and trees. Like almonds, cashews, walnuts, macadamia, pistachio, pecans, and peanuts to get us started. You could even group most seeds into this category such as chia, flax, sunflower, and pumpkin. I LOVE peanuts and peanut butter and…

Vote Strength

I have slight memories of Popeye growing up eating his spinach and then getting super strength. I don’t think it got me to eat more spinach but I was definitely envious of his strength. I don’t remember many kids that didn’t want super strength when they were young. That desire for strength didn’t continue into…

Chose Chiropractic

ByAlan D. Broering, DC, CCSP® October 1, 2018July 27, 2021

Chiropractic, or “choir-practic” as some close relatives refer to it, is what I do and I cannot imagine doing anything else. Not everyone is able to make that statement about their job so I feel fortunate that I can about mine. But what really is chiropractic? The first thought that comes to many minds is…

Trust Your Gut?

ByAlan D. Broering, DC, CCSP® July 11, 2017July 27, 2021

I’m in the checkout lane at the grocery store and there it is, that orange wrapper grabs my attention and it’s saying “Alan, eat me!” My brain says, “Don’t do it, there’s an apple over there,” but my stomach says, “Mmmm chocolate and peanut butter!” I can’t resist. After all, it’s been a long day…

Choose Posture

“Sit up straight. Don’t slouch. Stand up straight. Chin up and shoulders back.” We have all heard this over and over again throughout our lifetime from parents, teachers, coaches, and grandparents. Did you really listen though? Or did you correct it for 2 seconds while they were looking at you and then slowly settle back…
