A Success Story — No migraines!! WOW, I never thought I would be able to say that. I have suffered with migraine headaches, chronic fatigue and irritability for 16 years. But now I don’t have them anymore. I wake up in the morning (which is already different) with energy and feeling happy. My friends used to not call me until after noon because I was very moody and often still asleep until then. I have only had four adjustments and they have changed my life. Chiropractic has returned me to my real self. If you have been told "you are just going to have to live with it," then don’t believe them until you have tried Dr. Ken first. You will be glad you did. —– L. Pennington "When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." —— PatanjaliWalk an Extra Mile For years, we have been encouraging people to be more active. A 1996 surgeon general's report advised doing at least 30 minutes of moderately intense activity, such as walking, most days of the week. A September, 2002 report from the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine recommended that American children and adults need to do at least one hour of some type of daily physical activity -- walking, playing tag, gardening, biking -- to control their weight. Some fitness experts have suggested that people walk at least 10,000 steps a day, but many people don't even do that. The October 24, 2002 issue of USA Today reported that if people would walk another 2,000 steps, or about 1 mile a day, they would stop gaining weight. And it would take only about 15 minutes. "They might not lose much weight, but at least they'd probably stop packing on pounds," says James Hill, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. On average, adults are gaining 1 to 3 pounds a year, which means they're eating an average of 10 to 30 calories a day more than they burn off, Hill says. If they walked an extra 2,000 steps a day, they would burn roughly 100 calories, which would compensate for some of the extra calories they're eating and would improve their energy level and quality of life. The Bottom Line…The Bottom Line…The Bottom Line… What would actually happen if we truly focused our attention, based on inspiration, towards some grand purpose? Our energy would indeed expand and we would begin to attract what we wanted into our lives instead of what we do NOT want. What would happen to your health if you adopted a walking program because you wanted to gain health rather than lose weight?
