"THE HULK SMOOTHIE"

Everyone has been asking for the recipe that I use for my GREEN Smoothie, so here it is!

 This recipe makes 1 blender full-4 to 6 servings

1 serving is the equivalent of 16 servings of Fruits and Vegetables in Antioxidants 

Ingredients:

1 Handful of Spinach 

1 Apple

1 Bannana

1 Cup of Frozen Mixed Fruit

1 Scoop of Vega Protein Powder

1 Scoop of Nutri-West Total Greens

1 Tablespoon of Pure Spirulina

1 Tablespoon of Barleans Omega Swirl

1 Kiwi 

Add Water to the consistency your prefer, whether its thick or slightly watery after you blend. I use a Vita-Mix blender which in my opinion is the best blender to own to make any smoothie. Blend until it is a nice smooth consistency and ENJOY!!! 

Whichever holiday that’s presently looming, you know they’re not always the relaxing times you’d like them to be. This is especially the case at Christmas. Shopping and visiting and hosting and eating and drinking … it all becomes a mad blur that can leave you needing, well, a holiday.

Humans are pretty resilient creatures, but we can start to lag when we ask too much from our bodies for too long. The combination of the wrong food, too much booze, late nights, rushing around, and, let’s say it, family stresses, can all amount to overload, and we start suffering.

Moving into the holiday season, we should always try to keep our excesses to a minimum. Try to achieve a balance and remember to eat healthily as much as possible, despite the rather than less healthy meals that you may be obliged to eat to keep the peace with the relatives. Make sure you drink plenty of water to flush out your system, stretch out your muscles to ease the tension, and don’t forget that exercise during the holidays is not actually banned by law.

LASER THERAPY....... WHAT?

By Dr. David Wardy, D.C.

For those of you who arent familiar with laser technology I thought I would shed some light on how they work with the body. In the healthcare field there are many different kinds of lasers as well as many uses for them. For instance there is thermal lasers, cold lasers, lasers for cutting, etc.... In the chiropractic and alternative medicine field we use cold laser's (meaning non thermal) to communicate with the body to promote healing, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, clear cellular memory, and promote tissue repair. Laser therapy is similar to the way sunlight nourishes a plant so that it can grow and be healthy. When we have imbalance in the body(i.e. pain, edema, dysfunction) the tissue is similar to a wilting flower. The laser nourishes the tissue and promotes healing to repair the tissue. As far as passive therapies go, laser therapy is above all the most effective treatment to heal the body. Wardy Wellness offers the latest in cold laser technology to the Soutwest region.

Emotional Stress and the Mind-Body Connection

Written by Dr. David Wardy, D.C.

There are 3 kinds of stress that affect us on a daily basis, physical, chemical, and emotional stress. Most people understand how physical and chemical stress can impact our bodies. My patients are always asking me how the mind can affect the body when we have emotional stress. Whether its emotional stress from work, family, friends, finances, etc.... this kind of stress has a huge impact on our health. Many diseases that we see today such as high blood pressure and others are all diseases of adaptation that are caused by emotional stress. At Wardy Wellness our approach to treating our patients addresses emotional stress to help bring balance to the mind-body connection. Below is a great illustration that shows how different parts of our body react.
