Manahawkin Exercise Helps Cope with Pain and Aging
"If you don't keep going, you're gonna die." How’s that for a title to a paper?! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 never more true for middle- to older-age Manahawkin back and neck pain sufferers. Fortunately, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is here to help.
ANTI-AGING EXERCISE BENEFITS
We all start looking for anti-aging benefits at a certain age! One set of researchers stated that regular exercise has multi-system anti-aging effects and called for more research to acquire knowledge of just how molecular mediators of exercise benefits work in older folks instead of just looking for pharmaceuticals. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center wholeheartedly agrees! Walking is amazing! This an important message for all Manahawkin pain sufferers!
BENEFICIAL DAILY EXERCISE STEPS
Walk 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 wore 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 see what, if any, association was found 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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center sees how walking helps – 7000 steps or not – and urges Manahawkin chiropractic patients to walk what they can. Any walk will do!
EXERCISE HELPS COPING WITH PAIN
How do most Manahawkin back pain patients cope 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.
