Driving around Bellevue, we get to see some very nice cars! From Ferrari’s to Maserati’s. One car I have yet to see though is the Gallardo. The Gallardo is a quarter of a million dollar Lamborghini! It is an amazing piece of machinery to be certain!
Step out on a limb with me for a second, and imagine that you now own the Gallardo, a $250,000 car. How would you treat it? Would you make sure the oil was changed on a regular basis? Would you take it in to the dealer every once in awhile to make sure every thing was in working order? I asked a patient these same questions today, and his answers were similar to what I’m sure yours were-”of course I would take care of it, its worth $250,000!”
So, if this is purely a financial thing, lets take a look at your most valuable possession of all! A survey done in WIRED magazine calculated the value of the human body on the open market. They came to the conclusion that the human body is worth more than 45 million dollars!!! Makes that Gallardo look like a drop in the bucket doesn’t it?
Why then, if the human body is so valuable, do we take better care of our cars (or our imaginary Lamborghini) than we do our own bodies? Would you put “regular” gas in your Gallardo? Of course not, you would put in the “SUPER SUPREME”! So why do we continue to bad fuel in our bodies like sugar, and processed foods? Would you ever let the alignment of your Gallardo go out of balance? No way! So why are you not seeing your Chiropractor to make sure your alignment?
Start thinking of your body the way that it is, as your most valuable possession! Unlike cars, when your body starts to wear out, you can’t trade it in for a new one!
