What you get out of Exercising

Investing in 20-30 minutes per day of aerobic exercise may be a great start toward great health. 

Aerobic exercise is defined as physical exercise that intends to improve the efficiency of the cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen. Aerobic exercise includes prolonged movement of large muscles in your hips, legs and arms that affects your hearts and lungs. 

 You will notice changes in your cardio (heart) pulmonary (lungs) fitness within weeks of starting.  Your body will also release endorphins, natural pain-killers that increase your sense of wellbeing. 

Regardless of your athletic ability, age, weight and gender aerobic exercise is good for you.

Aerobic exercise is a stress placed on the body that is actually good for you and will make your body stronger and more efficient.

Regular exercise can:
·        Reduce health risks including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke, osteoporosis (especially weight-bearing exercises)
·        Help you maintain a healthy weight
·        Ward off viral illness by stimulating your immune system
·        Keep your arteries clear (decreasing LDL or ‘bad fat’ and increasing HDL ‘good fat’)
·        Strengthening and increasing efficiency of your heart
·        Boost your mood

Another way to help keep your spine healthy is by visiting your Chiropractor.

How to keep from Shrinking as you Age

by Dr. Brent Lipke DC

Your spinal bones begin to deform, your discs swell then shrink, your ligaments, tendons and muscles harden and weaken. What is happening?  Your spine is degenerating!

Spinal degeneration, like tooth decay is often a painless process.

Along with spinal damage, your nerves, and internal organs can also be affected.  You have less ability to deal with the stresses of life, you lose energy, and you may even lose height.

Spinal stress often causes the spinal bones to misalign, irritating the surrounding nerves, bones, discs and ligaments causing them to degenerate prematurely.

The earlier it is identified, the greater the chance that Chiropractic can reduce, halt or even reverse spinal degeneration by improving spinal function and posture.
