Debbey Woodruff, Owner Breakthrough! WellBEing
Dr. Charlie Boehly, owner of Well Body Chiropractic in Denver, North Carolina, practices a specialized form of chiropractic care known as neurostructural chiropractic. While the science behind it is fascinating, the main goal is to optimize your body’s natural healing process. Dr. Charlie emphasizes that it’s not just about alleviating pain—it’s about removing obstructions that prevent the body from functioning at its best.
Helpful Tips for Improving Well-Being During our conversation, Dr. Charlie shared several practical tips that anyone can incorporate into their daily lives to improve health and wellBEing:
Move More, Sit Less One of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your health is to move more throughout the day. Dr. Charlie recommends the 15-10-5 approach: sit for 15 minutes, stand for 10, and move around for 5. This keeps the body active and prevents the negative effects of prolonged sitting. Just a little movement throughout the day can make a big difference in your overall health.
Sleep Posture Matters Dr. Charlie advises against sleeping on your stomach, as it puts unnecessary strain on the neck and spine. Instead, sleep on your back or side with proper support. If you’re a side sleeper, use a pillow between your knees to align your hips and reduce pressure on your spine. A firm mattress is also key for providing the support your body needs.
Mind Your Ergonomics When working at a desk or using a computer, make sure your workspace is ergonomically friendly. Your monitor should be arm’s length away from you; the top of the monitor at the height of the top of your head. Your feet should be flat on the floor with your elbows at a 90-degree angle for typing.
As for holding your mobile device? Ideally, the screen is at eye height so your neck is neutral (i.e., not looking down).
These small adjustments can reduce stress on your spine and help maintain proper posture.
Reduce Inflammation with Food Dr. Charlie stresses the importance of a diet that reduces inflammation in the body. He recommends cutting down on Omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in processed foods, and increasing Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish, nuts, and seeds. This balance can help reduce overall inflammation, aiding the body’s natural healing process.
Hydrate and Breathe Drinking clean, filtered water is essential for maintaining good health. Dr. Charlie suggests investing in a reverse osmosis filtration system for your home. In addition to hydration, don’t forget the importance of breathing—proper breathing techniques can help manage stress and improve oxygen flow to your brain and muscles.
Bottom Line: Small Changes, Big Results Dr. Charlie’s approach to health isn’t about quick fixes but rather small, sustainable changes that can lead to lasting improvements. Whether it’s moving more during the day, optimizing your sleep posture, or paying attention to your diet, every little step counts toward a healthier you. By being mindful of your daily habits, you can enhance your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. Start incorporating these tips today for a happier, healthier life!
