AlignLife Thanksgiving in July

By

Next month we kick-off our annual food drive ‘Thanksgiving in July’ in order to provide for those in Springfield that need a little help. Following the vandalism earlier in the year at Kumler Outreach Ministries we have decided to revisit this organization, to which we donated more than 800 non-perishable food items in 2015.


Kumler Outreach Ministries meets people where they live, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick and helping clothe people. The food pantry, clothing ministry and medicine program reach thousands of people each year in the greater Springfield, Illinois area giving them help and hope. As well as non perishable food items, of which canned chili, peanut butter and spaghetti sauce are most needed currently, the organization is also asking for donations of shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and diapers in sizes four, five, and six.

In the summer the food pantry at Kumler is typically at its busiest. The community is always very generous at Christmas but donations are much needed all year round. 

Individuals or families are ordinarily referred to the Kumler Outreach Ministries food pantry via a social service agency. Food collections can be made between 9am and 12noon Monday to Friday and from 5.30pm to 6.30pm on the third Friday of each month. 

If you would like to make a donation of perishable food items, or any of the hygiene products mentioned above, we will begin collecting these from July 1st, for the remainder of the month, at our office at 2025 W Iles Ave, Springfield IL 62704.

What to expect from your chiropractor

Good chiropractors do everything in their power to help relieve their patients’ symptoms as fast as possible – with as few adjustments as necessary – and also give advice on how to avoid future episodes of back pain or sciatica. All treatment must be based on an accurate diagnosis of your back pain. Make sure your chiropractor is well informed regarding your medical history, including ongoing medical conditions, current medications, traumatic or surgical history, and lifestyle factors. You should feel comfortable asking all the questions necessary to understand the chiropractic examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan when you meet with your chiropractor whether it is your first visit or during ongoing treatment. The chiropractor may check your posture and movement patterns, looking for things that aren't normal, such as one shoulder or hip that is higher than the other or a muscle group that isn’t working properly. The exam may also include muscle, reflex, and neurologic...

Vitamin C

By
Vitamin C, found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, is needed for the growth and repair of tissues and because our body does do not store vitamin C; we need to consume it on a regular basis. In fact, Humans and guinea pigs are the only mammals in the world that do not produce vitamin C themselves, which is why it is so important to ingest either via diet or supplementation. We need vitamin C to make collagen – a protein that helps support tendons, ligaments and blood vessels and keeps the skin and other organs together. Vitamin C also improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and helps strengthen our immune system, protecting us from diseases. Vitamin C helps our energy levels by aiding in the production of dopamine in the nervous system. It also supports the adrenal function for increased metabolic energy and supports the liver in detoxifying the body. Vitamin C helps the body deal with stress by reducing the elevated levels of stress, hormones, and cortisol. V...
