Hello Chris,

I hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the extra light and sun we've been having. I always look forward to the shift from January into February. It's amazing what a little sun and extra light can do for you!

At Hastings Chiropractic, I always strive to provide you with valuable information that I think is important to your overall well-being. In honor of Heart Health month, I wanted to shed some light on the connections between regular chiropractic care and heart health, along with some recommendations for supplements that I think will contribute to your overall cardiovascular wellness.

Understanding the Link Between Chiropractic Care and Heart Health:

While chiropractic care is commonly associated with musculoskeletal health, emerging research suggests a potential link between spinal health and heart function. The nervous system, which is intricately connected to the spine, plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate and blood pressure.

Misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, may interfere with the optimal functioning of the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper alignment and facilitate improved nerve communication throughout the body. By addressing spinal issues, chiropractic care may contribute to overall cardiovascular health.

Supplements for Heart Health:

In addition to chiropractic care, maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle involves proper nutrition and supplementation. Here are some supplements that may support cardiovascular wellness:

1.   Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil and flaxseed oil, omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to numerous cardiovascular benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving heart function.

2.   Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This antioxidant is essential for energy production in cells, including those in the heart. CoQ10 supplements may help support overall heart health.

3.   Magnesium: Often overlooked, magnesium is crucial for heart muscle function and may help regulate blood pressure. Incorporating magnesium-rich foods or supplements may contribute to cardiovascular well-being.

4.   Vitamin D: Adequate levels of vitamin D are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. Consider supplements or spending time outdoors to maintain optimal vitamin D levels.

5.   Hawthorn Berry: Known for its traditional use in promoting heart health, hawthorn berry supplements may help improve blood flow and support overall cardiovascular function.

As your chiropractor, I can help you assess your individual health needs, provide personalized recommendations, and ensure that any supplements are compatible with your current care plan.

I am here to support your journey toward optimal health. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment to discuss your specific needs, please don't hesitate to reach out.



Looking forward to hearing from you!
