It Doesn’t Have to Hurt to Help!

Exercise and Fitness

The recipient of some of the greatest benefits of a regular exercise routine is – you guessed it – your heart! But many people think that exercise has to hurt to help – so they give up before they ever even get started because they don’t think they have the stamina, or the willpower, to stay in the exercise game for the long haul.

Not true! Did you know that a minimum of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise just three times a week provides heart-healthy benefits? Twenty minutes of hiking, brisk walking, bicycling, swimming or any other type of non-stop, continuous exercise is all it takes. Strenuous exercise isn’t what’s needed to make your heart and lungs healthier, moderate aerobic exercise is what does the trick and it’s a far easier commitment to make!

In addition, regular aerobic exercise helps to lower your bad cholesterol, the kind that clogs arteries and may lead to coronary artery disease, and raises your good cholesterol, the kind that helps clean out your arteries. High cholesterol poses an additional risk to your heart because blocked blood vessels can cause a heart attack that often leads to death.

When you perform moderate aerobic exercise, you engage large muscle groups for an extended period. This form of exercise enables your heart to pump oxygen-filled blood more effortlessly throughout your body, which lowers your blood pressure and your risk for heart disease.

Exercise, nutrition and regular chiropractic checkups are all part of a healthy lifestyle that extend your life and help you to enjoy more of it! If it’s been awhile since your last life-affirming chiropractic adjustment, please give us a call and visit soon. Or use the link at the bottom of the page. We have plenty of healthy daily living advice to share with you as well!

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Canton and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Canton patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
