Carrolltown 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! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation was even taken back a bit, but it’s true. No matter your age, your pain, your life plan, we all have to keep moving forward! This is so real for middle- to older-age Carrolltown back and neck pain sufferers. Luckily, Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to help.
ANTI-AGING EXERCISE BENEFITS
We all start considering anti-aging benefits at a certain age! One set of researchers stated that regular exercise has multi-system anti-aging effects and recommended more research to gain knowledge of just how molecular mediators of exercise benefits function in older folks rather than just turning to pharmaceuticals. (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation wholeheartedly agrees! Walking is great! This a terrific message for all Carrolltown 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 investigated. They wore an accelerometer from 2005 to 2006 and then were followed for a mean of 10.8 years. Their stats were analyzed in 2020 and 2021 to see what, if any, association was made between steps-per-day and all-mortality death risk. This study was part 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 took 7000 steps or more a day compared with those who walked less. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation witnesses how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and urges Carrolltown chiropractic patients to take walks as best they can. Any walk will do!
