Ashburn and Herndon 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! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn was even startled a bit, but it is true. No matter your age, your pain, your life plan, we all have to keep moving forward! This is so true for middle- to older-age Ashburn and Herndon back and neck pain sufferers. Fortunately, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is here for you.

ANTI-AGING EXERCISE BENEFITS

We all start looking for anti-aging benefits at a certain age! One group of researchers wrote that regular exercise has multi-system anti-aging effects and called for more research to gain knowledge of just how molecular mediators of exercise benefits work in older folks rather than just turning to pharmaceuticals. (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn wholeheartedly agrees! Walking is amazing! This an important message for all Ashburn and Herndon 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 sported 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 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 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 took less. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn witnesses how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and urges Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients to walk what they can. Any walk will do!
