Less Coffee

Caffeine is one of the most common stimulants in our culture. In moderate doses, caffeine can:

    coffee cup
  • increase alertness
  • reduce fine motor coordination
  • cause insomnia
  • produce nervousness and dizziness
  • raise heart rate
  • constrict blood vessels
  • increase urine production
  • create an addiction

Coffee is a common source of caffeine, but caffeine is also a component in tea, cocoa, chocolate, some soft drinks and certain drugs. Pure caffeine is odorless and has a bitter taste.

The boost in energy and feeling of heightened alertness that coffee drinking provides comes at a cost: addiction. It operates on the central nervous system using the same mechanism used by amphetamines, cocaine and heroin.

Want to quit?

To avoid the characteristic headache that comes from abruptly stopping cold turkey, most people report success in reducing their caffeine intake at the rate of 1/2 cup of coffee a day.

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Northville and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic practice member knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
