The Hot Latin Diet was created by Dr. Manny Alvarez, who noticed that Latin immigrants were slender when they first came to the United States, and then became overweight after eating an American diet for a couple of years. In his research, he looked for answers to how a culture that is celebrated with food remained so slim. He discovered the secret of seven

Whether you're five or 55, on a hot summer's day, there's nothing more delectable than a frozen popsicle to counter the sun's hot rays and stave off dehydration.

How Posture Affects Health

Dr. Christopher Weaver July 13th, 2017 | Fitness Expert, Holistic

As a Doctor of Chiropractic, posture is certainly something that I pay quite a bit of attention to when it comes to my patients. With the increasing technology in our world today, coupled with more and more people finding themselves in careers in which they sit the majority of the day working on a computer, there is an increase in the number of folks out there with just plain old bad posture. And while bad posture makes a person look somewhat less appealing, there are some serious health effects that a person can experience from chronically bad posture.

Back strength is vital to having less pain and a better future overall. It is vital to build a stronger back and there are many ways to do this safely and still keep it interesting. This article is going to cover a couple ways to accomplish this.

When you work on improving strength in your back, you increase your muscle health all throughout your body.

You can work a few key exercises into your exercise sessions to precisely target your upper and lower back. Here are several options to consider.

Kettle Bell Swings

A Stronger Back in only Seven Minutes

Joe Lawrence June 15th, 2017 | Strength Training, Upper Body

I have been involved in fitness and the study of the body since I was about 10 years old. 25 years later and I still maintain a few simple truths that I understood back then: the core is key and the back is best.

This workout routine will touch on both of those areas and take roughly seven minutes out of your busy day.

Without a strong core (meaning your abs, lower back, and oblique muscles) you will not reach your fitness goals. The core is the foundation of your entire muscular system and without it technique and form will suffer.

Dr. Christopher Weaver June 8th, 2017 | Fitness Expert, Holistic

When most people think about Chiropractic care, the first thing that comes to mind is back pain.

Regular Chiropractic care can completely change your life for the better and allow you to function at your optimal level. Here is just a small list of the benefits that Chiropractic offers:

Revamping Health at Every Size Movement

Marnie Bii June 1st, 2017 | Inspiration, Mind & Body

The health at every size movement may be projecting the wrong message at this time. Although body acceptance is important, staying in the obese range can lead to a myriad of health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. Underweight individuals also face health risks, such as vitamin deficiencies and kidney disease. A better approach might be promoting body acceptance for people of all sizes while applauding the journey toward improved health. People working toward

Then she shows you the dress she wants you to wear. It is stunning. It is a form-fitting strapless gown with a lovely sash.

15 Minute Arm Workout

Joe Lawrence May 18th, 2017 | 15 Minutes or Less, Strength Training, Upper Body

The past several years have caused me to think of new ways to work out to challenge myself and to maximize my limited time. It is not always an easy task to find ways to accomplish this. However, I have found a great one to work my arms to exhaustion in 15 minutes.

In a previous article preparing for the summer, I discussed that it would suit most people who do not have spare hours to spend in the gym to try three whole body workouts and two cardio (at least two) each week instead. This is the best way

Beginning an Exercise Routine Is Easier Than You Think

Dr. Christopher Weaver May 11th, 2017 | Fitness Expert, Holistic

With each and every Practice Member that comes into our wellness center, I recommend that they begin an exercise routine if they are not already working out at a minimum of 3 times per week. This is not something that we can skip-over or neglect. You see, as a Chiropractic Physician, the adjustments that I make to the spine are wonderful, but if a person does not do other constructive, wellness-building activities, the spine will not maintain the adjustment and proper position for very long

You can prepare fresh ingredients ahead of time instead to ensure you can make a fast, easy meal without sacrificing your health.

Dr. Christopher Weaver April 20th, 2017 | Fitness Expert, Holistic

So chances are if you’re 65 years old or younger, you grew up with at least one television in your home. While most of us have fond memories of a Saturday morning cartoon or a great movie, we more-than-likely also have a memory or two of our parents telling us that too much TV is bad for us. And you know what? They were right!

There have been a few interesting research studies completed recently that found some seriously negative health effects in children and young adults that spend a good deal of their free time watching TV. One such research
