  Time off. We're back to the basics and healthcare with Balance Life Chiropractic,
• 0:03
  and we have doctor Harley joining us. How you doing, doctor Harley?
• 0:05
  Hey John, I'm doing a much better now that that smoke is all out
• 0:09
  of the area and it hopefully stays out of the area. It was kind
• 0:12
  of crazy because it felt like in the middle of the day, it felt
• 0:15
  like it was already early evening because of all the haze, So that causes
• 0:19
  some issues. I suppose part of it is just, you know, if
• 0:22
  we're not getting the sunlight we're used to. But there's other things too,
• 0:24
  right, Yeah, we were talking about that. You know. Obviously the
• 0:28
  warning is for people that are more reactive to like stuff like this pollen and
• 0:32
  whatnot, so like being have high allergies or long issues already, or you
• 0:37
  know, the older population or even like really young population are a little more
• 0:41
  susceptible to having issues. But even you know, the regular average Joe,
• 0:45
  you can still have problems with all this smoke in the air because it's a
• 0:48
  chemical stress, and especially one that we're not used to. I don't remember
• 0:52
  ever experiencing this much smoke. Yeah, it's a little different than you know,
• 0:56
  I Remember there have been times where it's like that for a day,
• 0:59
  but it's I that wait for like a month and it's on and off,
• 1:02
  but it's been going a while, right, So it's like, you know,
• 1:03
  our bodies aren't used to all of this uh ash irritant in our like
• 1:08
  in our air that we're breathing in. So yeah, it will cause some
• 1:11
  inflammatory reactions in your body that maybe you're wondering why I feel so run down
• 1:15
  today. Yeah, Monday morning, you woke up, You're like, man,
• 1:19
  I just had a good weekend, but I feel so tired. Yeah.
• 1:22
  All that smoke if you're outside inhaling that and even it'll come in through
• 1:26
  your you know, your furnace, your furnace, your air conditioner, or
• 1:30
  even in your car. So a couple of things that hopefully you did this.
• 1:34
  You had that one button in your car that no one knows what it
• 1:37
  does. It has like the stir circulate it. Make sure you're using that
• 1:40
  when we have days like that, because that's circuling in the air in your
• 1:42
  car, versus pulling in the air from out of your car. This is
• 1:46
  not pulling all that smoke into your car. Nice. I'm getting air purifier
• 1:51
  for at home. We're in the office because as people are walking in and
• 1:55
  out and the ventilation system, it's still going to be in the air not
• 1:59
  so congested as it is outside. But that can really really help, very
• 2:04
  nice. And yeah, even this week, I've had a few patients they're
• 2:07
  like, man, I just really felt horrible over the weekend. You know,
• 2:09
  a lot of things hurt. I almost went to the emergency room or
• 2:13
  urgent care. It's like, it's not surprising, you know, especially if
• 2:15
  you're already kind of sensitive to changes. Your body's going through a major flare
• 2:20
  up being reactive to all of the chemical smoke. So you know, a
• 2:24
  couple of things. Make sure you're drinking lots and lots of water because that's
• 2:28
  going to help flush a lot of that toxin and it's crap out, for
• 2:30
  lack of better term, crap out of your body. So make sure you're
• 2:34
  staying well hydrated. Okay, you know, I'm taking anti inflammatories as needed,
• 2:39
  taking you know, fish oil supplements or glucosamine conjoiting or coc ten,
• 2:45
  which are really both good joint supplements that help with and high inflammatory Fish oil
• 2:50
  is great because nobody wants a squeaky fish I mean, I guess you could
• 2:53
  look at and you're you're greasing your joints. They're not quite so creaky and
• 2:58
  bit doing things to help redo said inflammation. Because you may not notice it
• 3:01
  today, it could be something that you know, in a week or two
• 3:05
  from now, you're like, man, I don't know what I did,
• 3:07
  but things are really starting to hurt. Yeah, it could be from having
• 3:09
  all of that irritation over the weekend that doesn't manifest self until later down the
• 3:15
  road. All that smoke and haze in the air from Canada. A friend
• 3:19
  had posted on Facebook. They said, I feel like I smoked a full
• 3:21
