Tired of running to the drug store and buying cold remedies that knock you out and make you feel so drained?   Tired of waking groggy and "hung over" from the previous nights most recent elixir?  Then you may want to turn to the medicine cabinet that is "YOU." 

Did you know that your body has the ability to produce anti-inflammatory chemicals? It also has the ability to produce chemicals to make you feel "good." However, it also has the ability to produce chemicals to make you feel "bad" and to actually create inflammation.  So, how do you get it to do what you need it to do? 

One suggestion would be to get adjusted by a licensed chiropractor on a maintenance schedule of visits.  Just like you go to your dentist to have your teeth checked, go to your chiropractor to have you spine checked.  Postural abnormalities of the spine can lead to your body creating too many "feel bad" and "pro-flammatory" chemicals and not enough "feel good" and "anti-inflammatory" chemicals.  So, make sure that you have your spine in line and working fine. 

Another idea would be to follow the D.E.A.S. plan

1. DIET: Anti-inflammatory and full of fruits and vegetables 
2. EXERCISE: Get some. At least 30 min of walking / day
   
3. ATTITUDE: Maintain a POSITIVE one.  This helps increase "feel good" chemicals
4. SLEEP: At least 7-8 hrs / night.
