Hot Take: The Flu Is Not A Season 🤭

You’ve probably heard someone say, "Flu season is here!" every fall and winter, right? It happens every year, like clockwork. But here’s the real deal: the flu isn’t a season; it’s your body’s response to stress, environment, and lifestyle. At Alpha & Omega Chiropractic in Keller, Texas, we help families understand how their nervous system and immune system work together to keep them strong and healthy all year.

What Causes People to Call It "Flu Season"?

The flu usually comes from influenza viruses, but there’s more to the story. If viruses were the only reason people got sick, wouldn’t we be sick all the time? The truth is, your immune system is what really determines whether you get sick or stay healthy.

Here’s what changes during “flu season”:

• More stress (the holidays, for example)

• Less sunlight and Vitamin D

• Not enough sleep

• Too much sugar and unhealthy foods

• A weakened nervous system

• 
  

When your immune system isn’t strong, your body can’t fight off viruses as easily. That’s where chiropractic care comes in—it helps keep your body ready to defend itself.

How Chiropractic Care Strengthens Your Immune System

At Alpha & Omega Chiropractic in Keller, we focus on neurological-based chiropractic care, which directly affects how your immune system works. Here’s how:

1. It Improves Your Nervous System Your nervous system controls everything in your body, including your immune system. If your spine is out of alignment (we call these subluxations), it can mess with your nerves and weaken your body’s ability to stay healthy. Chiropractic adjustments fix these misalignments so your body can work like it’s supposed to.

2. It Reduces Stress Stress makes it easier for you to get sick. Chiropractic care helps lower the physical tension in your body and reduces stress hormones like cortisol. When you’re less stressed, your immune system stays stronger.

3. It Helps You Sleep Better Good sleep is one of the best ways to fight off sickness. Chiropractic adjustments help your body relax so you can get the deep sleep you need to recharge and recover.

   
   

Many families in our community have noticed fewer colds, better energy, and improved overall health with regular chiropractic care!

Staying Healthy Is More Than Just Avoiding Illness

Here’s a mindset shift: being healthy isn’t just about not getting sick. It’s about feeling your best and letting your body do what it was designed to do. Your nervous system and immune system are built to keep you well—but they need the right support.

Chiropractic care is a proactive way to take care of your health. Instead of waiting to get sick, you’re helping your body adapt to stress, viruses, and changes in the environment.

How to Stay Healthy This “Flu Season”

Here are a few simple tips to keep you and your family feeling your best:

• Get Regular Chiropractic Adjustments: Keep your spine and nervous system in top shape.

• Eat Real, Healthy Foods: Focus on nutrient-rich whole foods (and cut back on sugar, which weakens your immune system).

• Get Some Sun: Vitamin D is a key player in immune health. Spend time outside whenever you can.

• Move Every Day: Exercise improves circulation and helps your body stay strong.

• Manage Your Stress: Take time to breathe, relax, and recharge. It makes a big difference.

• Sleep Well: Aim for 7-9 hours of good-quality sleep every night.

• 
  

Combining these habits with chiropractic care can make a huge difference in how your body handles stress and seasonal sickness!
