Thanksgiving Wishes

November 18, 2019

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, it is time to count our blessings and contemplate what we are thankful for. Here at Ramirez Chiropractic, we are thankful for our wonderful patients. We are grateful to have the opportunity to serve our community and to heal our Albuquerque family from injuries, take the initiative for preventative care, and grow healthy together! We would like to share some Thanksgiving tips to keep you happy and healthy this season.

Maintaining stress levels: As exciting as the holidays are, they can often be a stressful time. Be sure to make some time for relaxation from the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping and family gatherings. Using stress management techniques can help you enjoy your holiday meals and functions.

  • Take deep breaths throughout the day. If you feel your muscles tensing throughout the day, take deep breaths to loosen your muscles and settle your emotions.
  • Give thanks. Put things into perspective by taking note of the things that make you feel thankful.
  • Plan ahead. Disorganization can lead to stress, planning ahead can help. Try to prep dishes ahead of time so as not to worry about cooking all at once.

Enjoy the food! But… pace yourself: One day of a strict diet or slight indulgence isn’t going to make a huge change either way.  Enjoy this time with family and don’t hold back from savoring a little piece of dessert!  Pumpkins are rich in fiber and vitamin A so enjoy the pie, soup, or seeds. Turkey helps strengthen your immune system and is a rich source of vitamin b6, protein and niacin. Potatoes contain fiber, potassium, vitamins c & b6 and are naturally gluten free. It takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you’re feeling full. In that time, many people overeat, pacing yourself can help. Draw out the meal by savoring your food, eating slowly, and smelling the delicious scent of each dish.

Carve out some time for an adjustment: A chiropractic adjustment can help your Thanksgiving proceed more smoothly with a variation of methods. Chiropractic adjustments boost the immune system while preventing muscle pain and injury, so you can spend your Thanksgiving enjoying time with friends and relatives. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, the chiropractor will utilize an array of techniques to help you have a happier, healthier holiday.

Our office will be closed on Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday. We will re- open at noon on Monday, December 2nd. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
