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!

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!"

So, if this is purely a financial thing, lets take a look at your most valuable possession of all! A survey done in WIRED magazine calculated the value of the human body on the open market. They came to the conclusion that the human body is worth more than 45 million dollars!!! Makes that Gallardo look like a drop in the bucket doesn't it?

I think you will agree with me that your body is your most valuable possession right? Why then do we tend to take better care of our cars than we do of our bodies? If you would not put "regular" gas in your Gallardo, why do you put bad fuel in you body like sugars, and processed foods? Why do you keep the alignment of you cars front end in line, but you neglect to see your chiropractor to make sure that your body is in alignment?

Start thinking of your body the way that it is, as your most valuable possession! Unlike cars, when your body starts to wear out, you can't trade it in for a new one! If you would like a "check up" call Back in Action Chiropractic in Bellevue, WA at 425-635-0495
