The Covid19 Blues

Cases of depression are on the rise as a direct result of Covid-19. Stress, isolation, loss and economic hardship are taking its toll on people’s mental health.

The holiday blues only exacerbate depression as stress, loneliness, and Seasonal Affective Disorder take hold for many. People who may not even be suffering from depression may begin to feel down during the holidays.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, “64% of people with mental illness report holidays make their conditions worse.”

“It’s estimated that 16.2 million adults (6.7%) ages 18 and older, in the United States have had at least one major depressive episode in a given year.”

Depression is most common in ages 18 to 25 and we have certainly seen a spike in these cases since Covid hit.

Just under 2 million children ages 3 to 17 have diagnosed depression and 7 million adults age 65 and older are affected by depression.........................

According to the world health organization, “depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease.”

Many people opt for medication to treat symptoms of depression. While this can prove helpful temporarily, it doesn’t get to the root cause of the problem. Additionally, medications are filled with toxins that can create further health issues down the road.....................

Chiropractic care has been shown in research to improve symptoms of depression.

A study that was published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research in June 2013 cited prior research on the effectiveness of chiropractic care on mental health.

2818 patients under chiropractic care were studied. “76% reported an improvement in their mental/emotional health along with positive changes in stress and increased life enjoyment in the months after receiving chiropractic care.”.................

Feeling down or depressed? Try an adjustment!

Chocolate is a dangerous toxin for your furry family members.

“The degree of toxicity is dose dependent. With low doses of chocolate, only mild gastrointestinal (GI) upset is observed. At cardiotoxic doses, more severe signs such as tachycardia, tachypnea, hyperthermia, cardiac arrhythmias, tremors, and seizures can develop.”

Make sure your whole family knows about this danger to keep your pets safe this holiday season.

Christmas decorations and lights 🎄

Wrapping paper 🎁

“There are an increasingly large number of chemicals being used to treat the paper, to color the paper, to make the paper more elaborate and sometimes that can include the use of heavy metals.” Heavy metals are classified as human carcinogens. Opt for eco-friendly wrapping paper.

Candles 🕯️

Many of the wonderful smelling Christmas candles (and other candles) contain paraffin wax and when burned, release highly toxic chemicals that are inhaled and absorbed through the skin. These chemicals are known carcinogens. A safer option is soy based candles as soy wax is non toxic. ............................

We are exposed to toxins everyday that place significant stress on the nervous system and can lead to illness and disease, including cancer.

It’s important that we are aware of the toxins that surround us everyday. These toxins create stress on our brain and nervous system as our bodies attempt to adapt to these stressors. ................................

Chiropractic adjustments have been shown in research to help the brain and nervous system allow your body to adapt to these stressors therefore decreasing your risk of disease. 💪

Watch out for those holiday toxins and be sure to get adjusted regularly. ...................................

4 strategies to help you combat holiday stress.

According to the American Psychological Association “38% of people say their stress level increases during the holidays”. 😫

Common stressors include, financial pressure, the feeling of “too much to do” , too many parties, family conflict, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and loneliness which is even more pronounced this year for many people due to Covid concerns.

When under stress, the body releases stress hormones activating the fight or flight response of the sympathetic nervous system. While this is helpful in an emergency situation such as getting you out of a burning building or a circumstance that could be harmful to you, having this stress response turned on for a prolonged period of time is actually detrimental to your health.

This puts a significant amount of stress on the nervous system which can lead to illness and disease.

Here are 4 strategies to help you better manage holiday stress.

✔️Change the way you shop for Christmas. Set a budget and stick with it rather than overspending. Consider doing a family yankee swap with extended family instead of buying individual gifts, even the kids can partake in this and it’s a lot of fun!

✔️Be realistic. The holidays don’t have to be perfect or exactly like they were last year. Create new traditions. Zoom or Skype with family members that aren’t able to be there.

✔️Acknowledge your feelings. You can’t force yourself to be happy. Allowing yourself to process and feel any sadness, grief, anger, or disappointment you’re experiencing will help you move through the emotions. Bottling it all up will only cause more stress.

✔️Get regular chiropractic adjustments. This is one of the best things that you can be doing for your health, especially during the holidays when stress levels are at an all time high.

Chiropractic adjustments reduce stress on the nervous system so that it can function optimally and help keep you healthy and well. 💪
