Concord, NC Exercise Helps Cope with Pain and Aging
"If you don't keep going, you're gonna die." Now, there is a title to a research paper! Pure Chiropractic was even startled a bit, but it’s true. No matter your age, your pain, your life plan, we all have to keep going forward! This is so true for middle- to older-age Concord, NC back and neck pain sufferers. Luckily, Pure Chiropractic is here for you.
ANTI-AGING EXERCISE BENEFITS
We all start considering anti-aging benefits at that certain age! One group of researchers wrote that regular exercise has multi-system anti-aging effects and recommended more research to gain knowledge of just how molecular mediators of exercise benefits work in older folks instead of just looking for pharmaceuticals. (1) Pure Chiropractic wholeheartedly agrees! Walking is amazing! This a terrific message for all Concord, NC pain sufferers!
BENEFICIAL DAILY EXERCISE STEPS
Take a walking stroll each day with a goal of 7000 steps. Why? Research. 2,110 black and white men and women and their steps-per-day counts were followed. They wore an accelerometer from 2005 to 2006 and then were monitored for a mean of 10.8 years. Their stats were analyzed in 2020 and 2021 to measure what, if any, association was made between steps-per-day and all-mortality death risk. This study was a portion of the larger CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) study. Steps-taken-per-day were described as “low” (less than 7000), “moderate” (7000-9999) and “high” (more than 10,000). Stepping intensity – stepping rate – played a role, too. Moderate/high step rate was associated with a reduced risk of mortality in black and white women and men in middle-age who walked 7000 steps or more a day compared with those who took less. (2) Pure Chiropractic witnesses how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and encourages Concord, NC chiropractic patients to take walks as best they can. Any walk will do!
