Good Friends = Good Health

Not that you needed any more excuses to build that sweet man cave or to schedule a girls night out, but now new research shows that maintaining good friendships is actually good for your health. A recent story in the Washington Post looked at the relationship between having strong friendships and the impact on your health.

It turns out, strong social ties may help stave off memory loss as you age, reduce stress, boost immunity, help you lose weight and keep it off, and buffer against depression, among other health benefits.

There’s also a strong longevity link, says Carl Latkin, a professor of social and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: “If you have supportive relationships, you’re going to live longer.” A 2010 review of nearly 150 studies that was published in PLoS Medicine found that people with strong social ties had a 50 percent better chance of survival, regardless of age, sex, health status and cause of death, than those with weaker ties.

Innate Intelligence

At first glance you may think a Chiropractor was responsible for these words.  But they were actually written by a Harvard medical school instructor and practitioner in the late 1800’s.  While this belief is trivialized today by the medical and pharmaceutical community, it remains the core foundation of the practice of Chiropractic.

Chiropractors humbly acknowledge that “the ONLY thing that can heal the body is the Power that created it.”  The wisdom Dr. Cabot refers to in his quote is called Innate Intelligence by Chiropractors.  It is the Power of Life that animates our cells, tissues and organs.  It is the coordinating force that maintains our body’s intricate chemical balance.  It silently and confidently orchestrates all steps involved in the healing process from mending a broken bone to putting cancer in remission.  Not only can Innate Intelligence direct healing to every part of the body without interference, but it can also effectively direct replication, reproduction, adaptation, and survival. It is in favor of you living, rather than you dying.

Chiropractors are responsible for letting you know about this great force inside you.  If you really want to know who’s responsible for getting you better from the weak state, chronic illness, incapacitating pain or depressing condition you first walked into a Chiropractor’s office with?  Take a look in the mirror.  It was the best doctor on the planet, the one staring right back at you, that did ALL the work.
