What A Car Can Teach Us About Our Body.

Have you ever heard of a Gallardo Lamborghini? If you havn’t its because it is a rare piece of machinery, and an amazing automobile!

Step out on a limb with me for a second, and imagine that you now own the Gallardo, a $250,000 car. How would you treat it? Would you make sure the oil was changed on a regular basis? Would you take it in to the dealer every once in awhile to make sure every thing was in working order? I asked a patient these same questions today, and his answers were similar to what I’m sure yours were-”of course I would take care of it, its worth $250,000!”

Ok, so if the way you take care of the car is purely a financial thing, why don’t we take a quick look at the most valuable possesion that I know you DO own. An article in WIRED magazine estimated the value of the human body on the open market. They came up with the value of 45 million dollars! Just a little bit more than that Gallardo right?

So, if your body is your most valuable possession, why do you take better care of your car than your body? I guarantee that you would not put regular gas in your Gallardo, you would put the supreme in. So then, why do we continually put bad fuel in our bodies, like processed soy and sugar? I know that you would never risk allowing your Gallardo get out of alignment. Why then are you not seeing your chiropractor to make sure that your bodies alignment is strait?

Don’t you think its time to start thinking about our bodies as our most valuable asset? This is the only body that you get. Unlike your car, if your body wears out you can not trade it in for a new one. If you would like to have a “check up” to make sure that your body is in tip top shape call Back in Action Chiropractic.
