It doesn’t matter if you’re completely sedentary or a dedicated high performance athlete, you are constantly training your body on how to react to the world. So many diseases and pain points are caused by a lack of movement or by pushing too hard. Here to chat about balance and wellness is Dr. Joe Cooperman, a chiropractor specializing in strength and performance principles.
While diet is supremely important to overall health, so too is movement, mobility, and flexibility. Our diet helps prevent or eliminate inflammation but your movement keeps your body strong and supple.

How do you do it? How do you avoid sweets, grains, and all the junk that’s out there. The answer, while simple, is not accomplished in a very easy manner, but the reward is amazing. The same can be said of how you approach the food that you eat. I don’t have to avoid eating cake because I have changed my identity in that I just don’t eat cake. If someone offers it, I can easily avoid it because cake is not something that is in my diet and it’s not something that makes me feel good.
