Magnesium Sale-Help you manage Daylight Savings

Finally, we have more light! Daylight savings is upon us. Embracing the longer days ahead can be invigorating, yet the shift in time can indeed be challenging. To ease into this change, consider gradually adjusting your sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up 15 minutes earlier each day leading up to the time change. Additionally, exposure to natural light in the morning can help regulate your internal clock. Engaging in calming activities before bedtime, such as reading or meditating, can also promote restful sleep during this period of transition. Remember, be patient with yourself as your body adapts to the new schedule. By incorporating these tips, you can navigate daylight savings with a sense of ease and grace.

Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a crucial role in supporting relaxation, promoting better sleep, and reducing stress levels. Incorporating magnesium-rich foods such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains into your diet can help improve your overall well-being. Additionally, magnesium supplements are available for those who may have trouble getting enough of this essential mineral through their diet alone. Prioritizing magnesium intake can lead to a more restful night's sleep and a calmer, more relaxed state of mind throughout the day. Remember, taking care of your body and mind is essential for a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Milestones

Here at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, we love to talk all things growth and development when it comes to your little one. While these time frames are general, know that your little one may develop earlier, right in the middle, or later than these ranges-- and that is okay! The big thing we want to focus on is that these milestones are being hit in ORDER, rather than getting tied to time frames.
The way we innately develop through milestones is crucial not only for our neurology but as well as cognitive development and behavior!
How can we support optimal growth and development?
Our favorite ways are:
-seeking our nervous system-focused chiropractic care to ensure the nervous system is clear and balanced to ease growth and development.
-make tummy time a priority
- take away walkers, bumbos, and jumpers- they actually do more harm than good!
- get on the floor with your little one and help initiate eye/hand coordination with sensory toys
-allow them to develop on their own without putting them into positions they aren't yet strong enough or ready for!

Optimal Position During Pregnancy

Throughout pregnancy, the growing body tries to adapt to the weight gain, increase of hormones, and postural changes that follow. These postural changes increase the risk of sacral/pelvic imbalance at any given time. The bones of the pelvis and the supportive network of ligaments, tendons, muscles, and associated nerves are all under constant pressure and change. The resulting torsion and inflammation of imbalanced muscles and ligaments may then prevent the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for their birthing.

Here at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, Dr. Randy is Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Webster technique is defined as "A specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment for pelvic balance during pregnancy allowing for optimal fetal positioning (head down/anterior) for an easier, safer birth. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation and/or SI Joint dysfunction. In so doing, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is improved.”

Prenatal chiropractic care is essential for optimal positioning during pregnancy, allowing the body to be in a state of ease for a safer and easier birth process.

Raising Healthy Kids Pt. 2

During the first 2 years of life, a child’s brain is forming neural connections at an exponential rate! Physical interactions, touch, free play, and sleep mainly fuel these connections.

The American Academy of Pediatrics calls for no screen time for children until 18 to 24 months, except for video chatting, and says kids ages 2 to 5 should get an hour or less of screen time per day! 👏🏼

Why is no screen time necessary?

👉🏼 screen time requires little to no movement or effort, therefore it’s not aiding developmental milestones or muscle strength

👉🏼 images on a screen can move too fast for a developing brain to process and have been shown to alter attention span

👉🏼 your little ones need to be a little “bored”... when they are constantly overstimulated, it makes it more difficult for them to rely on themselves for imaginative play and entertainment

👉🏼 poor posture, especially during the age of such crucial spinal development.

We encourage you to get on the ground with your little one and interact with free play, get outside and explore nature, and connect and grow with your little one as they grow and develop! 🌟
