STRESS AFFECTS MORE PEOPLE THAN EVER BEFORE
By Dr. Nancy Ritschel

More people feel the effects of stress today than ever before. There are three main types of stress to your body: chemical, emotional, and mechanical.
Chemical stress is caused by poor nutrition, exposure to noxious fumes or substances, and cigarette smoke. Eating properly can help to reduce chemical stress. Avoiding sugar, refined salt, and refined flour (white bread) will help.
Emotional stress can be controlled better by positive thinking and learning to avoid worrying about things you have no control over. Take life one step at a time and you will discover that life doesn’t have to be perfect…just excellent.
Mechanical stress is caused by your bones and joints not being in alignment. Just as your car will have more mechanical stress if the wheels are misaligned, so will your body. Most often a spinal or joint misalignment “stresses” the muscles, nerves, and surrounding tissues, causing pain and discomfort.
A Doctor of Chiropractic can determine what may be causing your type of stress and work with you to correct the problem.
