Aging Well With Chiropractic Care

By Donna Stark

When we talk about aging, most people automatically think about their outside appearance. They start counting the wrinkles on their face or the gray hairs on their head, but today we are going to ignore those aspects of "getting old" and talk about more serious issues. The issues that run deeper than those wrinkles and strands of hair. The ones that really contribute to how well we age. Today, we are going to talk about the integrity of our physical and mental health and how chiropractic care at The Joint Chiropractic can slow those parts of the aging process. Take a look at some important lifestyle habits that, when paired with chiropractic care, will help you age as healthily as you can!

Sleep

It seems easy enough, but so many people have trouble getting the recommended amount of sleep each night. Sleep is the time when your body rests and recovers from the day you just had and prepares itself for the day ahead. Without regular sleep, the overall function of your body is severely limited, but chiropractic care can help. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to improve the quality of sleep patients get by reducing the nighttime disturbances that are keeping them awake.

Physical Activity

There is no denying the health benefits of staying as physically active as you can during the aging process. Sedentary lifestyles are a leading cause of pain and chronic health issues so it's important to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. And if pain or mobility issues are keeping you from moving, see your local chiropractor for help! 

Mental Activity

Part of the journey toward healthy aging is to keep your brain active and sharp. One way to do this is to constantly challenge yourself with something new. So consider taking a class, learn a new hobby, challenge yourself with daily puzzles, and see your local chiropractor on a regular basis. Chiropractic care has been shown to improve mental function and reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

Stress Reduction

Have you ever seen pictures of presidents before their term starts and then after their term is over? What a difference, right? It's obvious that stress can alter a person's appearance, but it doesn't stop there! Chronic stress can lead to serious diseases and illness, so take the appropriate measures to reduce it and see your local chiropractor regularly. Chiropractic care can help reduce both stress and anxiety in a person's life while also improving their overall well-being.

Aging well doesn't come easy and involves a steady course of healthy habits. And even though that may sound daunting to some, it sure beats the alternative.
