Dr. Cherniawski's Holiday Recommendation:  Have fun and indulge sensibly.  Remember to consume plenty of water, fruit, and vegetables, and take your daily supplements.  Exercise a little bit everyday and practice deep breathing, mediation, or prayer for stress reduction.  And, don't forget your chiropractic adjustment!
