How to Decrease Stress in Your Life!

Casen DeMaria, DC

Do you have stress in your life! Yes, everybody does!

Noted physician Casen DeMaria, DC, of The Drugless Doctors in Westlake presented a special seminar on simple strategies to help you better adapt to life’s demands so that you can be happy and feel healthy!

Her presentation at The Belvedere of Westlake on April 17 encouraged listeners to combine several sensible strategies that form the basis of the chiropractic approach to set you body up to be the way it is supposed to be – self healing and self-adapting.

There are just a few steps Dr. DeMaria suggests:

  • SLEEP – It’s essential for healing as your body replenishes its growth hormones during these hours. It is important to shoot for 8 hours, and don’t stay up too late! Hormone activity is highest between 10 p.m. – midnight! Also, turn off that TV and sleep in a peaceful place. “Set yourself up for success with a bedtime routine,” says Dr. DeMaria.
  • EXERCISE – Movement should be part of your life. Shoot for 20 minutes a day, even if it’s just walking, and help your body’s blood flow, oxygen levels, mental health and detoxification processes. Exercise should be fun – do things you enjoy!
  • FOOD – Avoid inflammatory foods like gluten, dairy and sugar and focus on proteins and vegetables. Just watch out for pesticides! “It’s not the environment that makes you sick, it’s the environment on the inside!” says Dr. DeMaria.
  • WATER – Most important of all, 85 per cent of your body is water! How much water should you drink? Here’s the formula: Take your body weight and divide it in half. The end number is equal to the number of ounces of water you should drink each day! So carry a bottle with you, and try to drink filtered water to avoid contaminants.
