PROGRAM: David Lohman-“Tips for a Longer Healthier Life”
Karen Zappia introduced our speaker who has been a practicing chiropractor in Santa Maria for 30 years. He began by relating a story of his asthmatic patient who he gave regular spinal adjustments to help her breathing. One day she came to his office at the age of 78 after suffering a severe beating by the invalid daughter for which she had been carrying after being off her medicine. She told him she could hardly move and she was prepared to go home and die. He asked her to stand on one leg and move the foot on her other leg. He said if you can do that you can continue at home working on returning your movement and all of your limbs. Next thing he knew she was 87, had joined a fitness center and had a whole new lease on life. Yes, it is possible to live to be 100 with the following ifs: eat a proper diet; exercise, i.e. aerobic, lifting weights and stretching; get sufficient sleep; drink water; and get out in the fresh air as often as possible. He also recommends seeing a chiropractor to make sure your spine is adjusted properly. Finally, his word of advice is to believe in something bigger than yourself. He cited Rotary as an example that something that is bigger than yourself.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY BY KAREN ZAPPIA:
