Preservation of Health

 Hey, Doctor Ryan Alter, your Delray Beach chiropractor. Today I wanted to talk about the sayings that we have on our glass boards in our office. Every couple of weeks, we kind of have this art girl come in and change the sayings on our boards to help patients with a little bit of a lesson of some kind. And the one that’s on the board this week is the preservation of health. 

 

is easier than the cure of disease. And what does that mean? What is it actually saying? What lesson can you take from that? Well, what it’s saying is that taking care of yourself, taking care of your body, your teeth, your skin, your spine, taking care of your body and taking care of your health is easier than not taking care of it and then trying to do everything you have to to get it back to health. 

 

Everyone’s been through that. It’s a nightmare. It’s an uphill battle. It doesn’t work. Okay, so many people are sick and at that point the body’s not working right and to get it back up into a healthy state is, is really something, but it’s a lot easier to just do all the things you need to eat healthy, get rest, get your chiropractic adjustments, take care of your skin and your eyes and your teeth, do all the things you need to to take care of yourself, just like your car.

 

You take care of the car and you keep it good. You don’t let it grind into the toilet and then bring it to the repair shop and see if you can make it brand new again. It doesn’t work like that. So the lesson for today, we do all of the things we need to, to care for this one body that you got. to keep it as good as possible because it’s much easier to keep it good than to try to make a mess and clean it up from there.

 

Remember, we’re here in Delray Beach. We’re here to help you and everyone, you know, feel your best.
