- 0:00Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with Ballants Life Chiropractic. We
- 0:03have doctor Harley with us. Hey you do, doctor Harley. Hey John,
- 0:06I'm doing great today. How are you? I'm good? Is your
- 0:09team playing in that big football game this weekend? Oh? I really don't
- 0:11follow football neither. I mean my husband does, he's a big Jaguars fan.
- 0:15You a couple of years ago they were pretty good, and then they've
- 0:17been pretty good late Lace it's been happy about that. Well, I don't
- 0:20have a team in the game, but I know a lot of folks are
- 0:23going to be sitting on their duffer this Sunday watching the game. And this
- 0:26is kind of like the last big eating holiday for a while too. And
- 0:30we've talked about that in the past, like when we have Christmas, we
- 0:33have Thanksgiving, and we have New Year's and all these things where people over
- 0:37indulge. That's also a time when they don't feel necessarily great, right,
- 0:40right, You know, we kind of get cold and flu season in there,
- 0:42but a lot of it can be from the over indulgence of food and
- 0:46alcohol and sweets and sugar and all these things, and it really depresses our
- 0:50immune system. Then we're not getting outside as much, so it makes sense
- 0:53if we get really sick, you know, a week or two after Thanksgiving
- 0:56and Christmas. So if you want to try to avoid that with you know,
- 0:59this next big food thing with the super Bowl, you know, maybe
- 1:02use some of these tips to help try not to eat your weight in little
- 1:04smokies and meatballs. That would be a lot. That would be a lot,
- 1:08right, you know, super Bowl not even if you're not a football
- 1:11fan, people always watch it for the commercials or get together for the Super
- 1:15Bowl parties to eat all the food, which is always a lot of fun,
- 1:18but then you're regretting it the next day or two. You know,
- 1:21there's usually veggies, trays, stuff like that. You know, maybe add
- 1:25a couple of those onto your plate versus just hitting all the buffalo chicken dip
- 1:30or burgers or sliders you name that. You know, moderation is always a
- 1:33good thing. And this is another thing where a lot of the people will
- 1:37make a whole day of it now because there's like, oh, the pregame,
- 1:38and then there's the pre pregame, and then there's this thing before the
- 1:41pregame, and you know, so now it's like a whole day. It's
- 1:44not like watching a movie that's two hours, when there's a whole day of
- 1:47sitting on a sofa and again eating and then this can this can lead to
- 1:52not great things healthwise. Right, and then Monday you're wondering why your back
- 1:56hurts, so your neck hurts because I know people who take Monday off because
- 1:59of it. I got to recuperate. Right, You're sitting on the couch
- 2:01the whole time. Well, couches are not the best for our especially our
- 2:05low back. If you think about it, when you sit in those couches,
- 2:07you kind of slump into it. And if you're sitting like that for
- 2:10hours, that's when you're really gonna start noticing that low back pain. So
- 2:14kind of a simple help with that is put a pillow behind your back.
- 2:16That's gonna help kind of push your back out a little bit so you're not
- 2:20slumping into that couch. As well as just getting up and moving around.
- 2:23You know, commercial breaks, get up, stretch, walk around a little
- 2:25bit, go outside, get some fresh air or maybe hug a tree or
- 2:29get away from the kid for a little bit. And if they're getting up
- 2:31during that time, to go grab another beer because That's another thing that happens
- 2:35a lot this weekend is people tend to drink a bit and that can also
- 2:38make you feel not too good. Right, alcohol and moderation, right,
- 2:42but make sure you're drinking water. You know, you're like what beer has
- 2:45water, but it also has alcohol. So make sure you're drinking plain,
- 2:47good water to help replenish a lot of that dehydration you'll get from drinking the
- 2:53pops and alcohol drinks that you're drinking, very very good. And next week
- 2:58we're gonna talk a little bit about because we ye Valentine's coming up, which
- 3:00this is your early reminder guys, if you haven't done something for that yet,
