When it comes to health, exercise is the best medicine. Exercise increases the heart rate, reduces stress levels, and releases hormones that make us feel good. Most people want to maintain an exercise routine into their later years, but that’s only possible when you have adequate mobility. Maintaining the health of your joints ensures you stay healthy for longer.
When you look after your joints, you are more supple and flexible, making exercise easier and more realistic. When our bodies are younger, we tend to take our joint health for granted; there are no issues with our knees and elbows, so there is no reason to pay any special attention to them. But caring for joints early on improves our quality of life as cartilage starts to disappear.
The good news is that bones and joints respond to stress. Muscles become stronger when you train them, and bones and joints also become more resilient the more they are used. It means that when you have an exercise regime for your general health and well-being, you have the added benefit of improving your joint health for today and in the years ahead as you get older.
Nowadays, most people have sedentary jobs that cause them to crouch and slouch over a computer all day. For this reason, more people are complaining about back issues and visiting a chiropractor. It might seem extreme, but it’s a good idea. A chiropractor can check and test the alignment of your spine to ensure your body remains healthy and functional in the long term.
