Healthy Holiday Snacks
It’s that time of year again: the gatherings, gift shopping and holiday stress is about to set in. Instead of giving into unhealthy temptations this season, aim to make wellness a priority with healthy eating that still feels like a treat.
Asked to bring a dessert to a work or family function? Instead of choosing a pie or cake full of added sugar, go for something with a healthy twist like chocolate covered organic strawberries. Make them even more health-conscious by choosing dark chocolate for dipping.
Choose healthy alternatives to common dinners. Hungry for pasta? Pick whole wheat or multigrain noodles instead of enriched white pasta, as well as brown rice or quinoa over white rice.
When baking, try substituting applesauce for oil.

What’s Causing Your Hip Pain?
Did you know that between 30-40% of adults over 60 suffer from some degree of regular hip pain? For many, this means that enjoying their golden years becomes filled with pain and difficult mobility instead of laughter and activities they love.
Some of the most common causes include arthritis, bone fractures, and trochanteric bursitis, which is caused by inflammation in a liquid filled sac near the hip joint.
If you suffer from hip pain, you have more options than just taking pain pills. Instead, consider visiting us for gentle, focused chiropractic care designed to address the root cause of your pain.
