"If you don't keep going, you're gonna die." Now,
there is a title to a research paper! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn was even taken back a bit,
but it is true. No matter your age, your pain, your life plan, we all
have to keep going forward! This is never more real
for middle- to older-age Ashburn back and neck pain sufferers. Fortunately,
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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 gather knowledge of just how molecular
mediators of exercise benefits work in older folks instead of just turning to pharmaceuticals. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn enthusiastically agrees! Walking is great!
This an important message for all Ashburn 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 studied. They sported
an accelerometer from 2005 to 2006 and then were followed for a
mean of 10.8 years. Their stats were examined in 2020 and 2021
to measure what, if any, association was found 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 defined 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 linked to a decreased 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) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn witnesses
how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and encourages
Ashburn chiropractic patients to walk what
they can. Any walk works!
EXERCISE HELPS COPING WITH PAIN
How do most Ashburn back pain patients deal
with chronic low back pain? Some of the things people may express are these:
- I feel helpless because nothing works.
- I feel down and depressed.
- I distantly wish for an end to it.
- I accept the reality of my pain.
- The pain stays, I keep going.
