How Nutrition and Chiropractic Benefits the Immune System
Nutrition and chiropractic care are commonly used as complementary treatments in natural healing. This approach focuses on addressing the whole person, rather than simply treating a condition. At Carter Natural Health Center in Hendersonville, TN, we provide healing by creating a treatment plan based on the individual revitalizing your health, looks, and quality of life by the natural means we provide.
Chiropractic Care and Immunity
Most people consider seeing a chiropractor for pain, but they may be surprised to find that chiropractic care can boost their immunity as well. Spinal manipulation is shown to improve the nervous system and immune function and reduce stress. The spine is the nerve center of the body. It is directly connected to the nervous and immune systems as well as the brain. When the spine is out of alignment, these systems may not function properly. Stress is often overlooked as a cause of disease, but it is believed to be a factor in nearly all diseases.
Nutrition and Immunity
Nutrition is key to proper immune health. Many nutrients, including vitamin c, vitamin d, polyphenols, and amino acids are essential to keeping your immune system functioning properly. It’s thought that the western diet, which is often high in processed foods and low in fruits and vegetables, can deplete the body of important nutrients. This diet also leads to disturbance in the digestive system, which is linked to suppressed immunity.
Nutritional Response Testing®
A proper diet is needed for a healthy immune system, but a proper diet for one person may not be ideal for another. Each body has its own challenges and dysfunctions. These can be repaired with the right foods, but first, you have to know what the right foods for you are. Nutritional Response Testing® uses biofeedback to determine the best diet for your body. It identifies organs that need assistance, food intolerances, and toxin overloads. This information is then used to create a nutritional plan tailor-made to help your body heal itself and naturally boost your immunity.
