In today's fast paced environment, sleep is becoming less and less prioritized when compared to work deadlines, waking up early to workout, or staying up late to socialize. This can take a major toll on the body, creating additional stress and ultimately altering moods. Here are a few tips for a better night's sleep:
*Avoid working out within 2-3hrs of you scheduled nod time. Regular exercise is also considered beneficial for a good night's sleep.
*Drink water! Especially if you consume caffeinated beverages throughout the day, try to match every caffeine drink with the equal amount of ounces in water to keep your system flushed and hydrated.
*Make sure that the temperature of your room is set at a cool (but still comfortable!) temperature. This will help your body to initiate the drop in core temperature that warrants slumber.
And did you know chiropractic can help you sleep better? Before you turn to drugs, make sure you ask your local chiropractor how they can help you sleep and relieve possible subluxations (nerve interferences) that may be altering your sleeping patterns. We're here to help! At Seattle Wellness Group we are prepared to answer all of your questions about proper sleep habits and can help alter your daily living habits in order to reach your best sleep.

Diabetes Medication Harmful to Heart Health
Another dangerous drug is being questioned by the FDA. Research shows the diabetes medication Avandia being linked to a severe increased risk in heart attacks and heart related death. Studies have shown that this drug alone causes 500 heart attacks a month, and 300 deaths a quarter. How does a drug that has proven to be unsafe stay on the market? Why has the FDA not done anything to stop the distribution of Avandia, even after the American Diabetes Association recommended avoiding the drug?
It is a no brainer that drugs such as Avandia should be removed from the market, but there are other ways to avoid having to take such a perilous health course. Imagine the empowerment people would have if they realized that their body had the power to heal itself. Instead of taking a prescription, we could focus on living a wellness lifestyle, and eliminate drug use except for the cases when it is truly necessary.
Every person has the power to be healthy if they simply make the choice. We want this choice to be easy for you, so if you are not already doing your best to maintain wellness and are interested in a free consultation or have questions please send us an email at info@seattlefamilychiro.com.
Also- It's the last week of Heart Healthy Month! Be sure to swing by for an adjustment and pick up your FREE yoga pass to Whole Life Yoga studio!

It's a New Year!
It's time for new and fresh beginnings here at Seattle Wellness Group! With the holidays being over, and all the cheery decorations disappearing we have decided to brighten up the office by having **Hawaii Month!** At the moment, the office is covered in paper pineapples, coconuts and a scenic beach view hanging in the waiting room. We even replaced our Christmas tree with a light up palm tree! So we hope you enjoy Hawaii month, and we encourage to share the island life with your friends and family!
**For every patient that refers a new patient to our office this month, we will enter you into a drawing to win a night out at Roy's Seafood and Hawaiian Restaurant. If chiropractic care has helped you, why not let it help others?**
We hope to see you all soon!
