Dr. Erich Schiffer is a chiropractic doctor with a holistic approach to healthcare. He reminds patients that lifestyle is not so much where they live or their relationship status, but how they choose to live life. Some of the most important choices are those being made to keep oneself well and healthy.
Many people are startled when learning that most illnesses and diseases as well as death itself are influenced heavily by lifestyle. Three of the diseases that cause the largest number of disability and deaths, heart disease, cancer and diabetes are all influenced heavily by lifestyle.
Many people feel that cancer is just an unlucky development in live, however only one of ten cancers are genetically related. The remainder is related to lifestyle, including environment, diet, exercise and relationships. According to Dr. Eric Schiffer, research has shown a relationship between being obese and the likelihood of developing cancer. While patients might relate heart disease or type 2 diabetes to weight, they may not be aware of the relationship to cancer. However Dr. Eric Schiffer goes on to report that those who are willing to make healthier lifestyle choices can have a positive effect on their wellbeing and health.
In addition, Dr. Eric Schiffer tells patients that the choice is in their own hands. Each day, patients can choose whether to live a healthy lifestyle. While there may be days or even weeks without the opportunity to make healthy choices, the opportunities are there if they are sought out. Business people on a trip sometimes must make a conscious choice to find nutritious foods. When on the trip it can be difficult to follow an exercise program, however, lifestyle is a long term project. People that eat healthy foods most of the time and exercise most of the time will be able to take a day or two off here and there. The overall goal however is to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Eric Schiffer also reminds patients that chiropractic care is another important choice for a healthy lifestyle. With the care provided by a chiropractor the body’s function is maximized. Patients are ensured that they are getting the most from their healthy food and exercise. The doctor of chiropractic is trained in nutrition and can provide needed guidance for nutrition and exercise programs that can maximize the patient’s efforts toward living a healthy lifestyle that is not making them sick.
