Meal Plan March 5th

Since it is such a nice day today it just feels right to light the grill and cook a weeks worth of chicken.  We are going to grill two whole chickens and use it to make 3 dinners.  We will have it tonight with mashed cauliflower and Brussel sprouts.  Then use the left over chicken for a salad on Tuesday and chicken enchiladas on Wednesday.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in the office this week!

Sunday- Grilled Chicken with Mashed Cauliflower and Brussel Sprouts.

Essential Oils & Mason's Latest Cold

If you've been in our office over the past few months you may have heard us talking more and more about essential oils. We've been using them at home and have been thrilled with how they have been benefitting our family. I thought I'd share our latest oil "win" in case any of you could use this right now.

Last weekend, Mason seemed to be fighting something - he had a small cough, a little runny nose and just a little more "blah" than usual. Usually, we'd wait and see if it developed into something more or went away on its own. But this time I decided to reference an essential oil book that we had recently picked up to see if there was something that could give him a little relief. I found a blend using Eucalyptus (one of my favorite oils!) and Pine that was supposed to eliminate chest congestion and help clear out the sinuses.

The recipe called for:
• 2 1/2 ounces carrier oil (we have grape seed oil)
• 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil (we use Young Living - found here)
• 10 drops pine essential oil (we use Young Living - found here)

So we mixed it together and put a little on his chest. He enjoys using essential oils so it wasn't a struggle to get him to agree. After a bit, we noticed his cough seemed to subside and he seemed to perk up. What I found most amazing, was later that day Mason actually asked me for a little more oil on his chest because he could tell how much better it made him feel! I thought that was amazing. We used it a few times a day for the next few days and now his cough is gone. No trips to the doctor. No missed school days. Can't ask for much more than that!

Chiropractor Westminster

You probably remember your mom or your teachers getting after you for slouching and telling you to sit up straight. And you were probably annoyed by their insistence, but did you know that posture is, in reality, a huge part of your spinal health? As our chiropractor in Westminster will tell you, posture, and more importantly, your ability to maintain posture speaks volumes about the health of your bones and muscles and predicts your likelihood of developing back or neck problems and suffering from the resulting pain. At Optimal Health Chiropractic our expert chiropractor in Westminster can run a posture and spinal screening to check out the health of your spine and offer solutions to fix whatever problems the test may reveal.

You can even arrange a screening at your event or workplace. Our chiropractor in Westminster will be glad to come and offer spinal screenings and even bring along the ever popular chair massage. Office workers are particularly in danger of developing spinal problems due to bad posture and spending so much time sitting at a desk. Your employees will be thankful to see that their boss is concerned for their health and happiness, and healthier employees bring in better results. Win-win!

Thornton Chiropractor

Everyone agrees that the best medicine is prevention and most people would agree, whether they actually do it or not, that a yearly trip to the doctor is a good idea and a key aspect to that prevention plan. However, often people don’t think about chiropractic care as an essential part of prevention and/or treatment for various maladies. Our Thornton chiropractor recommends coming to get checked here at Optimal Health Chiropractic every so often to help prevent issues from forming. And if you’re already experiencing joint pain, back or shoulder pain, frequent or constant headaches, or have been in a car accident or sustained a sports injury then all the more reason to take some time to see our Thornton chiropractor.

Our Thornton chiropractor also recommends bringing your kids in to get checked every once in a while. Often people think that because kids are young and resilient they will just bounce back on their own from minor injuries sustained during play time and for the most part they probably will. However, some of the normal activities of childhood like jumping and falling can lead to a misaligned spine and even nerve damage that can all be prevented with a quick trip to the chiropractor.
