Yummy EAT WELL WORKSHOP

anna

The third Tuesday of each month, Cummins Chiropractic hosts Free workshops to help bring our community to gold medal health.  September 20th was no exception!
In case you missed our EAT WELL WORKSHOP on the importance of nutrition as it relates to health, below are some fun facts on how sugar can ruin your health.  Be sure to avoid sugar in your diet and instead, focus on eating lots of vegetables, as well as lean organic and grass fed meats, nuts and seeds and some fruits.  Your body will respond beautifully and you’ll feel great with abundant energy and drive.
Next month, October 18th 7-8pm, our Olympic gold and silver medalist will host the MOVE WELL WORKSHOP.  See you there!

Row for the Cure Gets People MOVING!

anna

Well done to all the participants and volunteers for the 2011 Seattle Row for the Cure! 

Row for the Cure® is the rowing and paddling community’s fight against breast cancer. In partnership with US Rowing, Row for the Cure regattas take place annually in 16 U.S. states and since 1994 have raised more than $2 million exclusively for local affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Seattle’s 12th annual Row for the Cure, a program of the George Pocock Rowing Foundation, benefits the Puget Sound Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

This year, Cummins Chiropractic and Wellness helped raise $250 as well as donated an exciting workshop free of charge to participants on the importance of “SELF CARE”.  Partipating in the Row for the Cure is one step on our way to a healthier life.  The staff at Cummins Chiropractic and Wellness is honored to be a resource to the Bellevue and Seattle communities as we all strive for GOLD MEDAL HEALTH.  

*Thanks to the organizers who encouraged Dr. Cummins and Anna Cummins to participate in the event.  With their entry in the mixed masters double, the Cummins won the race AND had a lot of fun.

Anyone wishing more information may contact Dr. Cummins, whose office is located at 4122 Factoria Blvd. SE, Suite 202, Bellevue, WA (telephone 425-590-9158).
