Dear Patient and Friend,
Modern life is stressful – fighting traffic, breathing dirty air and drinking dirty water, taking medications, dealing with challenges at work and in the home, and small injuries along the way can take their toll on our health and prevent us from feeling the way we want to feel.
So many people have found that visiting their chiropractor has reduced their stress, and those who decide to exercise regularly have discovered a way to enhance their quality of life and reduce their stresses so they feel better every day.
No matter where you start, you can find a way to exercise that is safe and productive. Maybe you just need to park your car at the far end of the lot so you walk a hundred yards twice a day. Maybe you need to sit and take ten deep breaths twice a day to get your blood moving and your muscles toned. Maybe you can stretch, or do some yoga, or walk around the block before or after dinner.
It’s a fallacy that the only good kind of exercise is intense exercise. There’s a place for that too, without a doubt, but if you are just getting started, you can begin just by moving your body in ways it has not moved in a while, and you will get tremendous benefits. You can work up to more vigorous exercise, and you’ll be glad you did – it’s one of the least expensive and most worthwhile things you can do to add more years to your life and more life to your years!
