Staying Safe and Healthy During Coronavirus
As circumstances change around us, rest assured our practice stands with you during this global crisis. While we’ve always been committed to painstaking sanitation and implementing disease mitigation strategies, we’re taking extra special precautions these days.
As chiropractors, we have a role to play in helping “flatten the curve” and follow sound, scientific public health advice to slow the spread of the virus.
To help you stay healthy and safe, we thought we’d pass along a few tips:
• Wash your hands with soap, for at least 20 seconds
• Eat a well-balanced, nutrient rich diet
• Maintain recommended social distancing
• If you’re feeling ill, stay home – and reach out to your medical provider
As always, we’re here for you and we’ll do everything we can to help.
Hydration Strategies
It’s an essential building block for life—yet so many don’t drink even half of the daily recommended amount of water to keep hydrated. Water helps our bodies function better. And as chiropractors, we care about how your body performs.
Drink water through a metal straw (avoid plastic for the environment). Why? A straw allows you to drink larger amounts in a shorter time. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies suggest a daily total water goal – including beverages and food – of 2.7 liters (91 ounces) for women and 3.7 liters (125 ounces) for men. Drink up!
