Set straight!

I just got back from Dr. Mike, the Chiropractor. He told me ...and showed me....how my hip and knee pain were from my hips being twisted....and, my hips being twisted were from my improper gait. I have the flattest feet in the world and no arch to speak of and now I have bunions too! He explained that the bunions are not caused by pointy shoes ( which I never wear) or heredity. They are cause by your feet rolling inward, called pronation, which put pressure on that part of the foot.....And, in doing so, your whole alignment is messed up causing problems in your other joints. He took a long time, using his skeleton model and showing me exercises to strengthen my thigh muscles and align my hips. He did an adjustment and he had me try on these orthotic flip flops .....the second I put them on, my feet and my whole body felt great. They look just like normal flip flops but the built in orthotic aligns your ankles and body correctly. So I bought a pair and I feel great! Now I can get back to my walking routine. So, thank you Dr. Mike! Dr. Mike is also a nutrition specialist so I'm a big fan!

Tip of the day

When you're craving something sweet and there's nothing in the house, take Hershey's No Sugar Chocolate Syrup and add it to a big glass of skim milk. It satisfies the craving and makes you feel really full. For myself, I don't eat much dairy and My very favorite is Silk light chocolate soy milk. It tastes like a liquid fudgsicle and satisfies the chocolate craving. And better yet, it has 6 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber per serving!
