Wellness for the Body

September has arrived, and with the kids heading back to school next week, many of us are getting ready to settle back into a regular routine.

The relaxed mornings and summer schedules will soon be replaced with school drop-offs, work, activities, appointments and everything else that comes with a busy fall. While getting back into a routine can feel a little hectic, there’s also something comforting about finding our rhythm again.

As you organize the family calendar and get everyone where they need to be, don’t forget to put your own health and well-being on the schedule, too.

It’s easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list when life gets busy. But taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury — it’s an important part of maintaining your overall health and feeling your best.

Diaphragmatic breathing is also known as ‘belly breathing’. This type of breathing focuses on the muscles in your diaphragm, the large muscle below the lungs, instead of just the chest and accessory muscles. You bring air into your lungs, expand your chest all the way into your belly. This is slow, methodical breathing as it takes time to deeply inhale the air in and then release it all again.

Research found that children exposed to family violence show the same pattern of activity in their brains as soldiers exposed to combat. While this adaptation may help children detect danger in the short term, it also activates brain circuits associated with anxiety disorders, increasing the risk of long-term mental health issues.

Proper sleep hygiene is essential for keeping the spine aligned and reducing stress on muscles and joints. Sleep is when the body repairs itself, especially the spine and surrounding tissues that support posture during the day. Poor sleep habits can lead to stiffness, back or neck pain, and even long-term discomfort. Research shows that both the quality of sleep and the environment you sleep in play a major role in how well your body recovers overnight.
