You may initially say “no,” but have you really thought about the answer? Several things are happening in your body that you can’t control, and if you don’t know about them, you really can’t fix them. While this does apply to chiropractic at the Lake of the Ozarks , another important thing to watch is your blood work and lab tests. This doesn’t mean you need to get your tests taken every few months, but it does mean that routine blood tests can show you want you are doing right, and what could use some improvement. Here are a few important blood tests that you may want to have completed regularly.

Fall is still a few weeks away, but it feels like it’s just around the corner now that kids are going back to school.

Get Enough Sleep Sounds obvious, right? A good night’s sleep is one of the best things you can do for your body, especially as you start to get back into the rigorous school and work routines. Most adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and some studies show that your sleep before midnight is the best. 2. Stay Hydrated Did you know that an adult woman’s body is made up of 55% of water? Water doesn’t just help keep your brain clear and your body alive, but it can help prevent constipation, eliminate toxins, and help your muscles perform better. There are so ma...

If you don’t have a way to clean your water, there are many options out there, so we’ll cover a few of the most popular options below as well. H2o is one of the most valuable things you can do to aid your health journey, and while we always start with neurological chiropractic at the Lake of the Ozarks, adding in pure, quality water is going to help your healing go even farther. So, grab a glass of water and enjoy! 7 Ways That Drinking Water Helps Your Health Your body is around 60% water - so it only makes sense that replenishing that water regularly can have incredible benefits. #1. Improves Your Activity Level Not drinking enough water? Your physical performance may be suffering. Dehydration can have a noticeable effect after losing just 2% of your body’s water content - but most athletes can lose up to 6-10% just from sweat. #2. Hydration Affects Your Energy a...
