From the chapter on 10 Quick Health Tips:
1. Take a break It is recommended that you get up and move around every 50 minutes to an hour. Most people rush through their day, eating at their desk, never leaving their work station. That can lead to repetitive stress injuries and job burn out. Make it a point to stretch and move at various times throughout the day. When you head to the bathroom, take a few extra minutes to move your body. Or while waiting for something to print, use that as YOUR time.
2. Men, low back or hip pain? Many men come to my office with these complaints, and as they turn to go into the treatment room I see a large protrusion on one butt cheek. It’s not a tumor, it’s a wallet! And when you sit on it consistently, it can throw your whole body out of alignment. We are designed to be symmetrical and our body will compensate to make that happen. So keep your wallet elsewhere! Women, be ware of a heavy purse. It can pull your shoulders out of alignment and cause upper back and neck pain.
3. Supplements. No matter how much “good food” we consume, we are just not getting the nutrients we require. Add to that all the processed foods that make their way into our diets and it becomes clear that we need to supplement. A multi-vitamin and mineral formula keeps our body functioning properly and can curb food cravings. Amino acids are also an important supplement, as there are many amino acids we cannot produce ourselves, that are nonetheless needed for processes in the body.
